    Hi Nadine, Welcome back! :-D You don't have to live with crappy food that doesn't taste good just because you're eating gluten free. I cook for people all the time and get huge compliments on my cooking, because I have learned what some of the good substitutes are for a lot of things. As far as noodles, my suggestion is to try a few different brands...

    I understand your concerns, as I was initially not very thrilled about the concept of going out to eat after going gluten free, but I look at it in the way that if it's a choice between me not being able to get out of bed for a week and being in screaming pain, or asking every single question I need to of the waitstaff, um....I ask the questions. Also, I...

    Long story short, I will just say that western medicine just pisses me off!!! It's great if you need something cut out or chopped off your body or if you are experiencing certain major illnesses, but other than that, forget it. Many doctors think they know everything, and it's really bad when they won't even listen to their patients. I think many doctors...

    I got my tortilla press from that same company and love it, you can buy masa to make the tortillas at many regular grocery stores. One tip: always use a much bigger ball of dough than the directions say or you will end up with a thin tortilla that will fall apart. If it comes out thicker than you're used to, remember it's a "gordita" and fill it up with your...

    Just a thought, is it possible that you and your son are reacting to the dyes in the sour patch kids? The reason I am asking is that I have been finally starting to feel pretty good lately, but noticed when I ate pistachio ice cream that I got bloated and gassy, but not with any other flavor, so I'm pretty sure that the green dye is what did it. Another...

    The general public has been trained to think that whole wheat means healthy. The thing is, whole grains, as opposed to processed grains, are what is healthy (if you're not allergic of course , and whole wheat does not necessarily mean whole grain. Don't worry, fellow non-gluten eaters, about getting whole grains into your diet, because brown rice is considered...

    Hi all, I'm not sure I qualify as self diagnosed since I am not sure if I should consider myself a candidate for celiac or gluten allergic/intolerant. Long story short, I developed symptoms about a year and a half ago (extreme fatigue, bloating, severe gas pains, constipation, severe sinusitis, vertigo, anxiety, etc.) and went wheat free in September 08...

    Hi Raisin, It is extremely easy to ingest haircolor if you think about it, I don't know what TFAG's issue is. Unless you have a sink like they have at a salon, most of us end up bent over our bathtub or sink during the rinse out process and it's extremely easy to get residue into your nose or mouth, in fact, in my opinion, it's almost impossible not to....

    Hi Tessa, Welcome to Boston! I just moved here from California a couple of months ago. If you like pizza, there is a place in Cambridge/Somerville, specifically Porter Square, called Zing's Pizza that has gluten-free pizza that's pretty good. Look them up online, they use organic ingredients and if you want vegetarian they do that too (not sure about...

    I agree with you that people should choose for themselves, also that this has been a highly discussed topic. The point I was trying to make is that I believe that lying about ingredients that are known allergens in food is really sleazy and low, whether or not the levels of ingredients are tested to be "safe". They should have just said that in the first...

    Just did a little online research and found out the following: Wendy's has a gluten-free list, and there are actually a few items that are gluten free (baked potatoes, a couple of salads, etc.) Open Original Shared Link . They state that fries are not cooked in a dedicated fryer, so I wouldn't risk it. Burger King has an allergen list, hardly anything...

    "What are gluten free/ friendly fast food chains, seemingly where you can feel as if you can pick anything off the menu like anyone else. Why can't fries be gluten free, hard to order a gluten free pizza, why is there a large lack of gluten free bread available at these food chains." Sorry but I wouldn't trust any fast food except maybe if they offer...

    I am trying to figure out if I need to stick to gluten-free makeup as well as shampoo. There's an ULTA near my home and they have pretty good sales. First, does anyone know how I would find out if their line and other lines they carry are gluten-free? Second, do I need to be concerned about what is in the hair products I use including shampoo (as long as...

    I am wondering if the new labeling laws are much less helpful than intended. I am assuming that the grace period for labeling is over, but I could be mistaken. For example, I was in Costco the other day and saw sausages that had pale ale as one of the ingredients, yet it only contained a warning that they were made on equipment shared with wheat, soy...

    Hello, I went to a sporting event the other day and was unable to find anything at the concessions that I was able to eat. The people behind the counters couldn't guarantee me that the corn chips for the nachos were gluten free or even what was used on their meat to season it. They don't allow you to bring in food, though I managed to sneak in something...
