    Anything in particular you need a substitute for? The first month is very hard, but soon you'll have a repertoire of safe foods you enjoy, and gluten-free will be second nature to you. One tip I'd add to the excellent advice above: keep snacks on hand! When you're out, you don't want to be stuck somewhere, hungry & not knowing where you can eat. Bring...

    What are you favorite clueless quotes from gluten-eaters? Here was my day: Relative: "What can't you eat in the lasagna?" Me: "The cheese, and the pasta." Relative: "Oh... But I made it with whole wheat pasta, I thought maybe you could eat that." I wish I could say that was the first person who thought whole wheat was okay after I explain...

    Took a quick weekend trip to the Bethlehem Pennsylvania area. I didn't find many gluten-free places looking online, but found a few on Urban Spoon. We chose Relish and Sagra and liked both. Relish is in Allentown PA. It's an upscale lunch counter type place, very sunny and pleasant. We both had salads with chicken, great fresh ingredients and perfectly...

    I've had good luck with Red Robin, but I always go to the same location (Clifton NJ) - maybe it varies from place to place. I ask for the allergy book when I walk in, but then I always order the exact same thing The book has a section for gluten, which I have to cross-reference with the section for dairy (better than flying blind, like I have to do with...

    Ugh, I get so riled up when I hear that a gluten-free diet is somehow inadequate. I just have a hard time believing it. But then, I've been focusing on the naturally gluten-free foods, and avoiding white rice as much as possible, so my diet is meats, fish, beans, vegetables, nuts... Of course if you continue to eat white bread and refined starches, you're...

    I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced loss of appetite as a result of being glutened. I'm not nauseous and my digestive symptoms have been pretty mild, but for the past several days I just feel disinterested/vaguely turned off by food. Sometimes I will feel hungry, but at the same time want nothing to do with food. It's been several days... don...

    this is what i got from the company. I didn't realize the same company made so many different products (arrowhead mills, deboles, celestial). I'll be taking everything they say with a grain of salt now: Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding our Rice Dream Beverage. We strive to maintain the highest quality products and appreciate your...

    Debbie, I'm headed to the same area next month. Do you have any tips?

    If you want to offer gluten bread, maybe you can do what chain "bakeries" do - don't bake scratch gluten bread on premises, but bring in fresh or frozen dough to bake daily. The cc would be a lot more manageable if gluten wasn't in airborne form, and you could still say it's baked on premises.

    Had a chance to check out LaPiazza in Nutley on Monday night. I had the linguine w red clam sauce made with the gluten-free penne. It was delicious, and the texture of the pasta was perfect. I was pleased to see the clams were served in their shells, not canned. It's not a dish I usually order so i can't compare it to other places, but I just couldn't...

    I stumbled across a listing for La Piazza on NJ.com - "gluten-free" was one of its "cuisine types" listed! That restaurant is right by my house (I'm in Clifton) so I called and was told they offer a gluten-free penne pasta. The guy on the phone didn't sound like he knew much about it (and I was calling from work) so I didn't grill him for details. ...

    Alibell - Do you know what your actual numbers were for the thyroid testing? Did they test free T3 and T4? There have been changes in what's considered the "normal" range, and unfortunately a lot of doctors and labs are out of touch with the new range. I believe for TSH it's now 0.5-3.0, but you can be symptomatic even in the mid-to-low 2's. Yet, when...
