    Thanks for the info. By "naked" do you mean just the filling and no tortilla? R

    I'll take that advice! I have found a lot of places, but I've only been here a few months so I'm sure you know lots that I don't.

    Hi Ann, Lyme and Celiac aren't recognized by the medical community?!?!?! I'm so sorry to hear that your son got another doofus for a Dr. They're not God, you know the saying, if doctors knew what they were doing, they wouldn't call it PRACTICING medicine. Basically, you have 2 choices - your son can keep going to different doctors until he finds one that...

    I have had bad experiences with Qdoba. Long story short, their website says they have soft corn tortillas, when I got to the restaurant, they didn't have them. Ok, so the real key is to eat authentic Mexican food, not qdoba or taco bell or taco loco or anything that has "Mexican Grill" in their name. Find a place that serves real Mexican food (tastes better...

    I keep hearing that about Qdoba but that was not my experience. I think it depends on the franchise. I looked on their website and they said they had soft corn tortillas, and that the hard shell corn ones could be cc'd from the fryer. When I went to the Qdoba (downtown Boston), they said the only corn tortillas were the hard shells, all of their soft tortillas...

    Hi Margaret, I just moved to the Boston area from CA and let me tell ya, it's so much easier here in Boston as far as gluten-free... First, trader joe's has gluten-free french rolls (more like hamburger buns in shape and size) that toast up crunchy and yummy. Call the one you're going to first because they run out sometimes since people come in and buy them...

    Hi there, Welcome to Boston! I just moved here at the end of April from Santa Cruz, CA and already have a pretty good handle on gluten-free restaurants and where to get gluten-free products. Boston is so great as far as finding places to eat that accommodate your diet. Let me know if you want to talk further and I'll get you my email address. R

    If he is that sick, he should be seen. Something is wrong, whether celiac disease, gluten intolerance or something else. He should explain to the ER that he suspects possible celiac disease (if he suspects that). Yes, it will be a lot of waiting around (bring a book), and you may or may not get the right doctor, it will be a crap shoot as far as if they will...

    Just some thoughts, even though I don't have kids, my kitchen is gluten free because I live alone, but here's some stuff that works for a lot of people. 1. Separate toaster (that's absolutely essential!) 2. Buy your own margarine, hummus, peanut butter, mustard, mayo, catsup, whatever that could be cc'd and put your name on them. Tell your husband and son...

    I didn't eat out at all at first, except once in a while I would eat tacos at real Mexican food places because they only use corn tortillas. I basically came up with a spiel that I use for waitstaff, etc. As soon as they come to the table, I explain that I have a severe allergy to gluten, which means I cannot have wheat, rye, barley or oats (yes, I know it...

    Try Zing's pizza in Porter Square, they have good gluten-free pizza, though it's not your standard pepperoni and cheese (look them up online for the menu). There is also a food mart (I'm pretty sure it's called "food mart" in Wakefield that has gluten-free pizza and desserts - they get the crust and desserts from a company called strawberry moon (strawberrymoon...

    No offense, but as someone who is hypoglycemic, I say you can eat in the car beforehand but make sure you at least drop a gluten-free energy bar that has plenty of protein in your purse. A hypoglycemic must carry food at all times, and I think it would be much more tasteless to pass out during the wedding and ruin their entire day than to whip out a plate...

    Mushroom - You are right. Here ya go, just in case someone wants it backed up... :-) "The prevalence of coeliac disease is estimated to be one in 100 in the general population, although only 10-15 per cent of these are thought to have been clinically diagnosed. While many of the remainder will feel well, a significant minority will have chronic health...

    MST's suggestion about online classes is a good one, IMO. I am finishing up my last class online and will be receiving my BA in a couple of weeks. If it is an option for you, it's great because even though you still have due dates, you can do assignments day or night, whenever you can. Make sure they're accredited by the Dept. of Education. In fact, a lot...

    Hi everyone, Yesterday, I went out with friends to Legal Seafoods. They advertise a gluten-free menu, but as we all know, those menus usually consist of stuff like a burger without the bun, salad without croutons, etc. etc., you know, boring stuff. Their menu had tons of stuff on it including clam chowder (in a broth instead of thick), other fish dishes...

    My suggestion to improve the taste is to make your own. Yes, it's time consuming but homemade tortillas taste so much better. You can get a tortilla press on the internet or at some cooking type stores, and you can buy the masa to make them at most grocery stores. If you want some tips on how to make them, let me know.

    Chinese medicine is the BEST!!! BUT, you have to find the right practitioner. If your acupuncturist doesn't "believe" in allergies or intolerances, find another one. As far as how long the effects last, conditions such as Celiac disease are serious and complicated, symptoms will not clear up with one treatment - they may clear up for a short period of time...

    Natural and artificial flavors can, but do not always contain gluten. Modified food starch is another one to watch out for, though it is usually made from corn. Some companies, such as Kraft and ConAgra will disclose any gluten (wheat, rye or barley) if it is in the flavorings in their products, but most manufacturers won't. They are required to disclose...

    Hello all, Thanks for this thread, it's a good one. I started having serious symptoms early last year (extreme fatigue, bloating, constipation, painful indigestion, vertigo, nosebleeds, sinusitis, etc.) and last September my acupuncturist suggested trying wheat free for a month to see if it helped. Within a few days my sinuses were a lot better and I wasn...

    I'm really sorry, I had no intention of making you feel bad. When you're not feeling well, you absolutely need to focus on yourself first, so please don't feel bad about it. There is no reason whatsoever to feel guilty. Once you are feeling better, my suggestion would be to talk to the manager. Again, I'm really sorry, it was not my intent to make you feel...

    La Choy Soy Sauce is made by ConAgra foods. I called them about it a few days ago and was told that their labeling policy is if it has any gluten ingredients (wheat, rye or barley) they will be listed as that ingredient or in the case of things like natural flavors it would be in parenthesis - for example natural flavors (derived from WHEAT). They, like Kraft...

    That's not just disappointing, it's dangerous! They are labeling something gluten free and it's making people sick. I would ask for the manager, and I would tell him or her about it, then ask what they are going to do about it. If the response is anything less than "We will immediately stop labeling these products gluten free" tell them you'll call the health...

    In California, the Whole foods that opened recently in my neighborhood had tons of gluten free products. Now that I live in the Boston area, I have been to 2 whole foods here and they don't have anything! All I found at one was one loaf of rice bread and I walked around for almost an hour and asked 3 different employees about it. However, the Trader Joe's...

    [i told her that I had made some muffins today with some new flours that I got in the mail today from Bob's Redmill. I said they turned out really good and you really couldn't tell that they were gluten-free. I gave her one to try and after one bite she said, "Do you mind if I don't eat the rest of this?" I asked her if she thought they tasted different and...
