For me it isn't the ingredients that I fear though I do give them their due diligence. After four years of this I have found it is the cc that is the issue in restaurants. It is in the prep. Do they offer a dedicated prep area? If not there is a risk of cc and if your really sensitive like me, that could and usually means problems. Do they have dedicated...

Eleanor's does indeed rock and is a wonderful place to eat for celiac's and those who aren't but go with them!

With PF Changs in SLC it comes downtown timing with me. If I go at night when they are busy I will get glutened each and every time from cc. If I go during their lunch or slow times, I'm fine as the cooks can take their time. I know when I'm glutened and I know when it is something I am intolerant of. When I emailed them last time I asked about their...

Varies by Location. The one in Murray UT is great but they had a waitress who had celiac who trained their staff. Provo UT is good but West Valley bad Riverton at the District I wouldn't eat at ever. That is a cc event waiting to happen every time.

Thanks for the replies. Our local Walmarts are just continuing to head in another direction in regards to Gluten Free. Management at the store or district level just says they label their products gluten free that are and leave it at that. So my wife and I have moved on. Bad move on Walmart's part because of the secondary shopping we often did while there...

My wife and I have noticed that the Great Value Brand at Walmart is moving many of their product line away from being gluten-free; or at least they are removing the gluten-free label from many of the items in their Great Value Brand that were gluten-free before. We looked on several of the products and they either now contain wheat or are made in facilities...

There are two cookbooks that I recommend very highly. The first is by Carol Fenester and can be found at this link Gluten Free Quick and Easy The other is a new book that is just incredible. We have tried about 6 entrees and his cookies, and his muffins and lets just say my 16 year old daughter who hates that we are gluten free said "These taste...

I am a celiac with lactose intolerance. My gastro told me I'll probably always be lacto intolerance. I've tried Soy Milk but my wife gets diarrhea with it so we went to Rice Milk (she is allegeric to nuts so no Almond milk though I like it!). Then I tried lactose free milk with no problems. Warning!!!!! I have an email from the makers of the lactaid...

Try this again (lost the last post I was writing!). Good luck and I hope everything goes well for you. I had the full series of tests done over a year ago. We started with a pillcam. My prep was no food (water only) after 6:00p.m. the night before and nothing 2 hours before my appointment. I could not be late for the appointment either or they would...

I saw my Gastro on Monday and he told me patience. I cannot know everything all at once, the big thing is I am making major steps in the right direction. He told me to keep a personal journal to record what gets me sick, or what happen to make me sick and journaling have helped. I do think of Randy Pausch's Last Lecture where he discusses the brick wall...

Thanks everyone for your help. We are going to go to a support group locally that meets once a month on the 1st Thursday, but my wife is understanding more now; she just doesn't want to give up her Holiday Baking, but that can be worked out. I have another question. If my kids eat something with gluten and leave it in the sink, can I do the dishes or...

I just got diagnosed 3 weeks ago and I need some help. I'm doing pretty good on my diet, my wife is checking labels and we are cooking gluten free here at home. Here are my issues: For the first week and a half I was doing my cooking and that was working. Then my wife wanted to be supportive and took over the cooking. She is using gluten free food but...

I'm one that reacts right away, within 20 to 30 minutes. Then when I'm done in the bathroom I need to lay down for some time. I find a nap has always helped. Being new to this (3 weeks in) I've noticed this week that I've had more issues with certain foods that are gluten free (tomatoes are the big one). Is it possible I just don't have a tolerance for...

I just received my diagnosis 3 weeks ago after going through a balloon endoscopy and colonoscopy with the biopsy proving I had celiac (after 20 years thinking I had IBS) and have been gluten free since. I haven't had an issue adjusting, but the cost, man the cost. Thanks for the tips on the Asian Market. I believe we have several nearby. I'll say that I...
