  1. Great website!! Thanks for posting it
  2. Oh yes. I have become a very slow shopper with reading every label now (-:
  3. Okay, that's what I thought. I am the same way, not as sensitive with a shared facility. The cake will be perfect with different frosting next time! Thank you.
  4. I was in the baking aisle last night, I purchased a cake mix and frosting from Cherry Brook Kitchens. While the cake is delicious, the frosting is so-so. A little too sugary for me. I was looking at all the other frostings and while none of them seemed to have ingredients that had gluten in it, they didn't say they were gluten free. I don't have a can in...
  5. I think I will be going to Whole Foods tomorrow! I could use some chocolate chip cookies.
  6. Thank you for posting this! I didn't know some of these things.
  7. I emailed Portillo's restaurant after seeing on here that the beef was gluten free. We go there a lot with a club we are involved with and got this reply: Dear Erin, Thank you for your inquiry about ingredient information relating to gluten intolerance. We are aware of the various dietary restrictions many of our guests have, however, we do not...
  8. It's probably not going to change though. I would think being newly diagnosed one would be even more careful. Even though I don't have celiac and only gluten intolerance, my FI is asking all the time if there's things he can or cannot do. Soon, we'll both learn what's okay through trial and error. Honestly I would feel very hurt if he didn't do what he needed...
  9. I am just starting out. I started at Whole Foods and Fruitful Yield and still go there sometimes. However I just spend more time at my regular grocery store and look at labels and I am tryin to get used to what I can buy. There is a dedicated gluten free store not far from me, but I haven't gone there yet. It seems like it would be very expensive and...
  10. Thank you (-: I feel good knowing I discovered it myself and didn't have the frustration (at least too much) of doctors trying to tell me otherwise.
  11. I wouldn't need to go back on gluten to get these tests done right? Maybe I'll make an appointment with a diet change and talk to them about tests that should be done.
  12. Thank you for the heads up. The one we are going to is 2 hours away for a meet up with a group of people. Looks like I'll be brown bagging it so I'm not having problems that far from home.
  13. Great reply! that makes me feel more confident in my decision. I hate the idea of having to go back on gluten to get a test that may or may not tell me something that I'm going to do anyway. Thank you!
  14. So Sonic has this really nice allergen menu and listed under their meats, all of the grilled items (patty, bacon, sausage,ham, hotdog, etc) are all listed as gluten free Except for the grilled chicken. Does anyone know about this? We're going there next weekend so looks like I'll be calling to make sure my only option of salad is still an option at all....
  15. Since this thread has been resurrected. I haven't been at this very long, but the top of my list is the Glutino chocolate breakfast bars. They taste like bitter burnt chocolate, absolutely disgusting.
  16. I just bought a box of the honey nut corn chex with the big beautiful words of "gluten free" written all over the front! They were very very good.
  17. If I am going 100% gluten free because of gluten intolerance is getting tested for celiac necessary? Either way I'm going to be gluten free and it's not like they are going to cure me for knowing for sure. Anyone else in the same boat?

    Thank you for the replies! I know I need to have gluten to get tested, I haven't decided yet if I am going to do that or not. Also thank you for the places to buy! I appreciate it (-:
  19. lol after having a rough day of trying to learn and cope with all this, I'm glad I found this post! Made me laugh for the first time today.
  20. Thank you for the reply! I will get it then since it is recommended. Will probably get the restaurant guide at the same time!
  21. Does anyone use this book while shopping? I am debating it, or if I should just read labels and write down things I like or not. I'm still very new at this! Thank you Erin

    There isn't really an introduction board, so I put it here! I have discovered that I am gluten intolerant after trying many other things. This whole week I have felt great after feeling gross all the time. I have not yet gone in for blood tests as either way I need to stay away from gluten I guess. I was okay and excited at first to finally know what I...
