Quick search gave too many responses to TGI Fridays but none to TGI Fridays Buns (or similar) so... I was talking with my sister-in-law (Gluten Intolerant) and she spoke highly of a pre-packaged bun from Fridays. I was hesitant but she gave me one (apparently you can buy them from the restaurant?) and I tried it. Since I'm slow to react I won't know...

I've been tempted lately to buy Cheerios but I'm wary of their gluten-free claims. The uproar last fall over the recall and the lawsuits seems to have died down yet I'm concerned. A search didn't provide anything more recent so I'm looking to all of you to fill me in. Did I miss something, has this been resolved, or am I right to remain on the sidelines for...

Thanks. I couldn't remember the name of the cream. Seems it is acne oriented and I haven't had that in 40 years. Although I will discuss it with the dermatologist. I eat mostly at home but there is one weakness and that is a fish fry. I know the ingredients are all gluten-free but I need to talk to the owner to see about the oil. That could be the culprit...

Infrequent poster as I'm "normally" under control. I was diagnosed with DH/Celiac in early 2009. My primary physician put me on Dapsone and it was amazing at how rapidly symptoms were abated. Jump on the gluten-free diet and move on. After about a year I'd had enough of reading side effects of Dapsone so began weaning off. One pill every other day, 1/2 every...

Sooo, per the GFWD posting it seems that there could be many boxes of contaminated cereal out there (how many boxes do they produce in 24 hrs?) but when averaged out the batch tests to under 20 ppm and is labeled as safe. I'm not liking my odds on this and I sure do miss Cheerios! I think I will continue to wait.

Diagnosed about 5 years ago. 100mg Dapsone for 6 months or so really did the trick. I stopped because of the med power and broke out again. Sooo, another 6 months on the 100 and then I tapered to 50 for 6 months and all was good. Until I wasn't good! went to Europe a tear ago next week (I'm in the U.S.) and went off plan. Figured it was a last trip for me...

Infrequent poster but very frequent lurker. Diagnosed via skin biopsy in January 2009. DH is my only "obvious" symptom. So, having been gluten-free for nearly 4 years we were going to Europe in the fall of 2012. I'd decided I would indulge myself as it will likely be my last trip to Europe with retirement approaching and the need to really tighten the...

I've read a few posts about Frankenmuth but most are a bit dated. So, now that I can no longer just eat and drink to my heart's content I'm wondering if anyone has more recent experience there? My wife and I had the privilege of visiting Germany and Austria a few years ago in my pre-celiac days and will be going from Rochester, NY to Green Bay and realized...

I also think there are other variables involved. I was fortunate to get a quick diagnosis of DH mostly because of this site, webmd and others. My initial outbreak was beginning to spread when I got my doc involved, skin biopsy and Dapsone. I took the 100mg for about 8 months and then started cutting them in half for an additional 4 months or so. January first...

I live on the west side (Mumford) and spend a lot of time at Agatina's Restaurant in Gates. Not only do they have a gluten-free menu but if you select from the main menu they will check with the kitchen to see if it is naturally gluten-free or if they can alter it to be so. They also have for desert a gluten-free cholocate truffle with raspberry sauce that...

Just a follow up to my original post. I finally did kick the Dapsone. I have zero outbreaks (other than funny itches on the scalp). On the plus side I was diagnosed very quickly with DH during my first outbreak so it's not like I had the rash for years and built up all the antibodies in ridiculous quantities. To be honest I was quite nervous about stopping...

I've been gluten-free for a bit over a year now. I rarely eat out and I do the shopping and food prep. Our house has also been "altered" to be gluten free. I am a DH sufferer and have been on Dapsone for a year now. Initial dosage was 100mg and it kicked the rash very quickly. After 5 months I stopped taking it to see if I was good to go or if it was still...

OK, so it looks like we're all drinking the Kitchenaid Kool Aid! So the question still lingering here is which model? Pro line 6 series or the Artisan? Cuisinart has a 5.5 quart version with a stronger motor and won in cooks.com competition and I'm considering it but read a few reviews where people thought they were poorly or cheaply built. Anyone...

Since going gluten-free my wife has been killing herself (and subsequently the hand mixer) trying to provide us with at least one loaf of bread per week. We have a breadmaker now and it does quite nicely but we still have a need for a new mixer for anything we want to actually bake. I searched the forum and see threads about stand mixers that are about...

Yea, lightheaded, dizzy... I asked the doc to check the B's and the D's in my bloodwork and my vitamin D level was way low (double whammy for me working nights so I don't get much sun and living in the north so there isn't much sun to begin with!). Now that I have that in check I don't feel like that anymore. Plus going to 1/2 the original dose probably helps...
