    I've been eating Trix and Cocoa Pebbles for months now with no problems. You may also want to check out this thread from last week- General Mills: Kix

    I liked the story, but I was irritated by one part, at the end, where she said, "I can't have bread or cookies anymore, but at least I feel better." This just makes me so mad because it's so untrue. There are some wonderful gluten free breads and cookies out there, and now the general public believes that people with celiac are doomed forever with a...

    We just put our dog on a Grain free food, and strangely, it was actually cheaper than the food we were giving her. Weird. She loves it like crazy, though, and it the first 5 ingredients are meat, which is pretty impressive. But we do have treats that have wheat in them, and I just make sure to wash my hands well after giving her a treat.

    I haven't tried many, but Kinnikinick is a huge winner in my house. Like others mentioned, the personal pizza crusts in a 4 pack are amazing!! Just top with Kraft Italian Five Cheese and Hormel pepperoni and 15 minutes later, a little bit of heaven!! The crust has an amazing flavor and now when I bring it to family's houses, they all want a bite because the...

    OH.MY.Goodness. I LOVE Kix cereal! If they indeed are made in a separate factory, wouldn't they be safe to eat?

    Since Wal-Mart recently put "May contain traces of wheat" on their lentils, I started buying the store brand of lentils at my local grocery stores. I'm not sure what you have in Wisconsin, but we have several stores that carry Best Choice lentils, which are gluten free according to Open Original Shared Link. If your stores carry another generic brand,...

    Hi TabLooney! I haven't bought flour at the Mama Jeans on Republic Road, just the one on Campbell. I'm not sure yet if it's a problem, but I bought several bags of "Mama Jeans" gluten free flours and made sure to ask if they were packed separately from the whole wheat flour and such. They told me there was no cross contamination, and the flour was MUCH...

    According to Clan Thompson's Celiac Food SmartList, the following root beer brands are gluten free: A&W, regular and diet (10/06/2009) Barq's, caffeine free, regular, and diet (3/23/2009) Mug Root Beer, regular and diet (12/3/2009) There are a lot more listed, but these were the brands I saw mentioned on this thread.

    I know several people on here have mentioned that it's hard to find chewable vitamins that are labeled gluten free, and I've definitely had the same problem. "Adult" vitamins make me sick to my stomach, and I'd been taking Flintstones vitamins before going gluten free, but stopped over some concern from the manufacturer. I noticed yesterday at Wal-Mart...

    Eh, Some people just have lower blood pressure naturally...my bp has always run pretty low, around 85/60, and I've had every test you can think of run, with everything coming back normal. It probably runs in families, because my mom and sister also both have low bp. We're also cold a lot as well! But we've all been tested and we're all normal. I'd definitely...

    I don't have a Hyvee close to me, but I do have stores that carry Kroger, Best Choice, and Always Save brands. Here are the gluten free listing sites: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link The prices are MUCH lower than "name brands" and save us a lot of money in the long run!

    For the past couple of years (before going gluten free), I kind of grew to hate food, as it apparently hated me. I have always LOVED food, but when it started making me sick, I started eating just to survive. I enjoyed food a bit, but I always felt worse after I ate, and as a result, I would go without eating for a day sometimes and I would feel SO MUCH...

    Wow...that's actually a good deal. I pay $5.73 for one tiny loaf, which is cheaper than buying online...I would happily pay $4.95 for 2 loaves Our local stores really take advantage of people needing to buy gluten free foods and mark them up EXTREMELY high. Quite sad, really. ETA: Okay, I see you're in Denver, CO, which is where Udi's is located. Maybe...

    Haha! I still remember my "last meal." It wasn't worth it, though, as I was sick for a week afterward. Tasted yummy at the time, but I paid dearly for it. Please let us know how everything goes! Pulling for you, Janie

    As far as not being able to eat any of the foods you love, that is a complete myth. When I first went gluten free, it FELT like I couldn't eat anything, but don't always trust your feelings. Going gluten free is very emotional and you may feel overwhelmed and depressed, thinking of all the things you used to eat, but it really is just your emotions. I...

    Bummer, I was going to go to the Support Group meeting in February, but had a night class that night and couldn't skip. Roxanne sent me the email letting me know it was coming up, does she email for each meeting? I was going to ask if anyone knew anything about Bud and Walt's Pizza...I'm kind of worried about cross contamination, have you eaten there...

    I use Idaho Spuds brand, they disclose on the back that they contain milk ingredients only.

    We've ordered from them twice, I'm not sure why they ask for the additional info, as other sites don't, but it's supposed to be for verification of your card. We've done it twice with no problems, though! You could email to get some more info. They have a contact form on their site. I was a little unsure about it, too, but we've had no problems with billing...

    I understand your frustration 100%. We all felt the same way in the beginning, but you really do adapt and find new foods that you can make her. What an awesome sister you are!! Wow. Pulling for you! Your sister is so fortunate to have you! Janie

    After I went gluten free, my husband and son have as well. Not that they necessarily need to, but it sure makes it a lot easier cooking and cleaning. Not a trace of gluten in the house keep us from being anxious about me getting sick. My husband has lost some weight since we've switched over and we'd never turn back. Kudos to you! Janie

    Hi and welcome!! Check out Open Original Shared Link I found out about them from another forum, ordered a box, and my whole family is hooked. They're made from 10 gluten free grains and are super healthy. Each box you order has 3 flavors of wraps: spinach garlic, agave grain(my favorite!) and chimayo chile On Mondays you can order 1 box and get...

    I just learned how to make flourless chocolate cakes and they are amazing! Much richer than a brownie, but they're homemade and super yummy! I made them in cupcake tins to make "mini cakes," they could easily be substituted for brownies!! Open Original Shared Link My favorite boxed brownie mix is Gluten Free Pantry, I ordered them off amazon and...

    Here is a super good recipe for gluten free cookies using "normal" inexpensive ingredients...you could send some with her to share with her class. Peanut Butter cookies: 1 cup creamy peanut butter (we use JIF or Skippy) 1 egg 1 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla Mix well, roll into a ball and flatten with a fork Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes
