    I think it varies based on the time of year, I've seen the orange cake under the name 'summer orange cake' before. They have some seed bars at the counters which are sometimes gluten-free. Make sure you ask for them to wear a glove & use a clean set of tongs though! Belgian chocolate cake is yum yum. Also it is dairy free too, unbelievable!

    Thanks Missy'smom, that a really long list, wow!! great! Do these crisps have gluten-free anywhere on their label? or do you have to take a list with you?

    Hello there again! five and a bit weeks to go, just had a thought for something else to ask, which crisps and chocolate bars are gluten free, the kind of thing you might be likely to buy in a garage?
  4. GeordieLass
    Yes! although I still get stuck or make mistakes sometimes. Anyone further on to answer that? Like after 10 years? Its still weird though, some days I wake up and think 'do I have to do this gluten-free thing again today?? oh no!', I mean, it is life-long, do you ever forget there's something different about you?

    For me they were really bad but it was because I wasn't eating enough because I didn't know what to eat & lunchtimes were especially bad. Also I had low iron so started taking a supp which helped, plus making sure to get enough calories & carrying snacks with you. Loads of salad = healthy but not filling. I found I was drinking a lot more sugary fizzy...

    I read somewhere rice wine can have gluten in, just check!

    You could ry: Open Original Shared Link. Not stayed there myself but have heard good things about as a hotel in general & their website says they do gluten-free. If you're in Keswick, try the Strawberry Cafe down the end of main street.

    ...Has anyone tried eating here? They have an allergen information list here: Open Original Shared Link but elsewhere on the site it says: "Although we take precautions by cleaning the mixing stone often, we cannot guarantee that residual products containing gluten will not accidentally be mixed into your ice cream." Someone has recommended going there (a...

    Thanks to both of you for your help and suggestions. The grill place does look good. I was meaning to ask actually how people find flying with American Airlines, gluten-free-wise, do they often forget your meal or anything I should watch out for? I will try to carry snacks but it is a long time to fly from the UK to california. I'm going to behave like a...

    Hey Leper, I'm near Glasgow & can recommend the message board Nikki linked to. It also has a 'supplementary' board where info e.g. restaurant recommendations are saved so you can search it for Aberdeen, Edinburgh etc. I don't have a clue about Aberdeen but there are definitely some great places to eat in Edinburgh (inc a pizza place called mamma's pizzas...

    It sounds a lot like the orange cake starbucks have had in the UK for a while (at least as long as I've been gluten-free which is about 2 years), I think here it is something like summer orange cake & it is nice & moist & very much a treat item! They've also started doing a belgian chocolate brownie which is gluten-free, WF and Dairy free (sorry...

    Thanks especially for the camping trips, I hadn't really thought about open fire cooking, I was going to buy my own cooking pot but maybe I should look at alternatives, I'm going to need a long shopping list and a couple of hours at one of these trader joes! About Chex though, I've checked their website & the honey nut ones contain barley malt extract...

    I'm just floored at your generous offer!! American hospitality already?! Wow. Yep that's me doing the camping thing. It is very exciting!! You know, after researching all the likely looking restaurants I think I'll make a beeline for Wendy's & try their gluten-free menu, sushi & japanese makes me worried (soy sauce, rice wine), although Cool River...

    Thanks ohsotired, I hadn't managed to find the interactive map, that's handy!! I'm just changing at Dallas but I have at least 2 hours and it will my first ever experience of America, lol! so might as well make it a good one
  15. GeordieLass
    Has anyone been through Dallas Fort Worth Airport? I don't know which terminal but whichever is the international one. Did you find anywhere to eat? (I see there's a Wendy's on their website)

    ...oops I trailed off there, it wasn't too difficult in Spain, the US is going to be a bigger challenge I'm feeling. I've got a folder for all my research but I have to pack light so I'm thinking just printing the lists for Trader Joe and Wholefoods and stocking up when I see one, fruit and veg should be easier to get, and only eating out if I see one of...

    Thanks for the tips so far, it is good to have an idea what to expect. I just don't know how you cope without one list of all the gluten-free food or clear labels, it sounds like a nightmare!! I only have to avoid gluten (as far as I'm aware!) so I wonder if peanut butter would be an alternative if there isn't cheese spread (spray on cheese....!!! what can...

    Hello there, I'm coming to the USA this summer & I'm trying to get all prepared. I'm a bit confused about a few things, any help or advice would be very gratefully received!! I saw somewhere on here that manufacturers in the US only have to declare Wheat on labels, is this still the case? and that there isn't an agreed standard for 'gluten free' yet...
