    Once I was reminded about Wendy's it didn't take me long to make it a favorite stop. It makes sense, too-- pretty difficult to glutenate a plain potato and the chili is pre-made so all they have to do is heat it, and the serving utensils are dedicated to those items. As for PF Chang's, they're on my list for the next time I'm in Little Rock.

    There is, but Chick-fil-a has about the best set-up I've seen. The fact that they've got a relatively limited menu, ATC, means there's fewer chances for CC than other places. Their grilled chicken isn't marinated, they use dedicated fryers for the nuggets and breaded chicken separate from the fries and hash browns, and everything is factory breaded so...

    ARCHIVED Taco Bell

    If you watch them, though, they always put the wrapper down on the line first, so there theoretically shouldn't be any CC from the line itself. Theoretically. Scoopers and spatulas are another issue entirely.

    In all honesty, I can't say that you should really expect to eat like you used to, but you shouldn't limit yourself to a few "safe" foods, either. It simply is not healthy in the long run. Remember a few simple things and the diet should be fairly easy. 1. Eat non-processed or low-processed foods as a major portion of your diet. Whole foods-- fruits...

    :* OK......I know he had real bread in the house because I saw the wrapper in the trash...OK....I call him ask him if he used my peanut butter on his "normal" bread...OF COURSE he did...* I was informed yesterday that I may as well buy my own butter since my wife figures there's no way to keep crumbs out of the tub, what with the kids and all. She's probably...

    I actually had a very nice experience at Buffalo Wild Wings tonight. They suggested the naked chicken tenders with a side salad, no croutons, and sauce on the side-- if they spin them they get glutenated from the container-- and they used a clean grill, though this was not hard since we ate early. The naked tenders garden salad is also okay. I was pleasantly...

    Get the manager if the server doesn't get it and, also, a small information card usually helps. You also may want to tell them it's sort of like a peanut allergy-- it's not, really, I know, but it certainly gets people's attention since most restaurant managers hear "lawsuit waiting to happen" if you say "peanut allergy."

    This may seem a little over the top, but what do I do about communion at church? I don't want to refuse, for reasons of belief, but I don't think I want to get glutenated over a ritual, either.

    Would like to know of other celiacs and non-celiac gluten-free dieters in central AR, particularly Hot Springs, Hot Springs Village, Benton, Bryant, Little Rock and vicinities-- counties of Garland, Hot Spring, Saline, Montgomery, Pulaski.

    Huh...my GP just put it together with my other symptoms and said testing would be waste of time. But then I had already effectively been gluten free just by being on the South Beach diet and had stayed off gluten when I figured out that my symptoms went away.

    My GP agreed with you, as it happens.

    Instead, he figures my symptoms [iBS, sharp pain in my toes, feet, and wrists, lactose intolerance], existing conditions [rosacea, gall bladder out, N.A.S.H.] and the fact that going gluten free cleared my symptoms up pointed to celiac anyway. Just got back from my physical and I was surprised, but no testing, other than my usual lipid/liver/triglyceride...

    First off, some background. I have had IBS symptoms since I was in college-- I am now 38-- along with, in recent years, pain in my feet, ankles, and especially toes, and pain in my hands and wrists. I had been doing somewhere in the range of 7-10 BM's a day, only the first one or two of which actually did anything. The rest were pretty much pure acid...
