    ARCHIVED Golden Corral

    mamaw replied to missy'smom's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    We eat at Golden Corral every once in a while. Ours is not very clean & spoons are always tossed from one dish to another. I would not call it a great place to dine! BUt when options are very limited , I guess one bites the bullet. Honestly I can not for see ours heating something up in their equipment. Another is places usually will not heat up because...

    Hi Emily even if you make your own bread it would need to be frozen at some point unless you can eat an entire loaf in a few days....Pamela's has a gluten-free bread mix that is good. Anna's bread mix is wonderful unless you was a town talk bread lover prior to being gluten-free! Do you get the gluten-free living magazine? there is a great recipe for bread...

    JBaby I have over 100 registered but all is not celiac. We sample new products at each meeting & do a lot of mailorder for the best of the best. We are the only group in the tri-state area.... if you need any help let me know. I have been a gluten-free mentor for many years. I also test market for many gluten-free vendors/bakers.

    our grandson was 2 1/2 when he had an endo done.....Yes, she would need to be consuming gluten for the bloodwork to be accurate. Do you have her off of gluten already? Also rem,ember there are some that bloodwork, biospy, never show anything but when taken off gluten the person thrives. Latent celiac....I know a couple of children who did not have the typical...

Wonderful.... enjoy ! We all need to enjoy a little pleasure now & then...

    Here are two other things to look for as well: rosacea ( it can make scaly crusts) & a rare disease Dysthyroid Obitopathy...... this can be accompanied before a thyroid issue or after a thyroid issue or neither...... hth mamaw

    How strict do you need to be? Answer:100% for life. Why cause more grief by cheating now & then! I think many find that once they come into tune with their body they start noticing other things that cause discomfort. People will say oh it is just gas or indigestion & take a tum or something & pass it out but I feel the body is reacting to...

    Hi Dina I feel your pain!I can not have any narcotics as my throat sweels shut in minutes... gluten-free or not. I have had two major surgereries plus one about 40 minutes long.... no narcotics. I can tolerate versaid ( not a narcotic) & that is it. I feel everything & know & feel every cut the doctor makes, the drilling & so on. I just...

    Hi Ladybugluv welcome. I live near Pittsburgh .Lancaster is a wonderful area with a great gluten-free group of people. I go to this area about once or twice a year for some R&R......while there we always journey to philly & NJ...... to do some gluten-free shopping..... blessings mamaw

    the numbers vary from lab to lab. Some labs say any number under ten or five is excellent... Check on what his level was when he first was dx'd then what the number is currently. You also can ask for copies to keep for yourself.......... Plus I know about five kids that are just one year into the gluten-free lifestyle & their numbers have come down...

    I don't doubt your medical ills & it is very hard at times to know what is happening to our bodies. When I first went gluten-free I did not react a lot but now after years I'm super sensitive. I don't drink wine because of sulphites ( a few can be had without sulphites) I don't do anything with MSG..... I don't do well with Bob's Red Mill..........

    Our fav would be Pamela's for a mix! WholeFoods is actually Gluten Free Pantry with a Whole Foods label..... Betty Crocker mixes may well be very good but I'm guessing it has loads of trans fats..... 123 is good but again not as light as Pamela's..... Annalise Roberts cookbook has wonderful moist, tender cakes & cupcakes.....very easy as well. blessings...

    My thought is 100% at all times. Why eat this way 90% of the time (for instance) & not know if it is helping, when you will see results if one follows the diet 100% of the time. Plus if he is going to be 100% & see an improvement why would you want to give-in & maybe let him have gluten goodies & it sits him back. To me that is like being...

    Hello Yes that was what many was told way back when. The doctors didn't know any better...& now if only we could get them to check-out patients that do not get better !It is truly a sad situation.. Glad you enjoyed pizza... blessings mamaw

    Boston Market has gluten-free selectons. I would not consider Taco Bell or KFC, Way to much cross- contamination.

    Hang in there. It takes a while for your body to adjust. You didn't develope celiac in a day, week or month & I wouldn't expect instant relief. For a few they get instant relief but it can take up to a year or even two to notice a big change... Every body is different... blessings mamaw

    Hello The gluten free world is changing rapidly. Really good foods now! No more gritty foods if you want to pay for the best of the best! Most breads should be frozen if not eaten in a couple of days. But there are many breads that have a shelf life for a week or so. I don't use bread daily so I always freeze my bread. If you put wax paper between...

    Elonwy, Pamela's states on the pkg that you can lighten it up with the additon of another egg. I don't have a pkg here to look at but there is a reg version & a lighter version listed... For a mix we would take Pamela's hands down..... Happy weddings girls....

    We love Pamela's choc. cake mix & it would take away a few steps to buy mixes.....good deals on Amazon..
