Jealous!

I've worked in a ton of restaurants and it's such a gamble to make special requests. Some places will respect their customers and make an honest effort to accommodate special requests, others will be rude in the kitchen at least and deliberately spike your food with what you didn't ask for. I don't want to spread negativity, but it really does happen. A...

LMAO that's awesome : ) Eggs do remind me of doggy smell... dunno why! I love chia seeds! I was thinking a lot about gelatin, too, if some small percentage in a recipe would improve elasticity of dough/batter.... and other sticky substances that might make a better sub for gluten. I want to study chemistry. omg. Pamela's mix, eh? It seems to have a...

I just finished reading through all the responses... thank you! I guess ( I hope ) that this will become easier to deal with. It's been less than a year since I tried being gluten free, so, .... ugh. I appreciate hearing from others, though. I don't know why that makes it seem easier to deal with, really, I wish no one had to put up with this. The thing...

EXACTLY

That's much more reasonably priced than the other thing I saw. Don't remember what it was, I didn't bother to bookmark it. Am looking at recipes now. !!

I kept trying to find lists of manufacturers and products, but I can only find these like, $70 packages. Why must someone profit from this HUGE inconvenience? The internet makes distributing info free. --sighing-- thank you, though. I find a lot here that's helpful and useful. This is the only worthwhile website I have found so far. :giving kisses:

It's got a lot to do with the holidays and eating things to please others, because I hate 'being that guy'. Ugh, I don't know what it is, I am so mad lately about trying to adopt a gluten free diet. Every time we go to the grocery store I end up sad and angry because all I can find is cheese, peanut butter, and vegetables. And I'm really starting...

EW! I hope they washed that coin first! I just got over a cold, too. Since trying to stay gluten-free, though, that was the only cold I've had. Spectacular!! I was getting sick about every 3 weeks before. <-- not exaggerated. Robitussin is okay, I believe. When all the companies got that mandate to replace pseudoephedrine with phenylephrine...

When gluten or wheat are used in non-food products, is the labeling straightforward, or do I have to be on the lookout for Ingredient X319-7Ja now, too? I've never seen them listed, so either luck was guiding my choices or I'm really, really, unobservant. Oh wait!! I know where to find out. Cosmetics Safety Database lists like, every ingredient ever, what...

Thanks for the info. I really am glad to have found this forum. A lot of what I've read here describes what I've been going through for several years. w00t! I guess the reason I want an official sort of diagnosis is so that I can get on with life without being questioned-- I dread going to see a doc someday and being told that without some official evidence...

Oh hai I'm new. =*.*= I went to a nutrition counselor this past summer who recommended a gluten-free diet. Going gluten-free has alleviated pretty much every weird symptom I've ever had in the last ten years (I was *so* hoping it would be something else! I love(d) bread.) Anyway, she also recommended a blood test to find any other food sensitivities...
