    Most hard liquor is OK even though alot have wheat in it because when it goes through distillation, the Gluten particles are too big to pass through based on what I've read and personally experienced also. I love Bourbon and never had a reaction from it. Some of the cream based liquors may or may not be OK. Beer is obviously the biggest no-no sans the ones...

    I found Beef Fried Rice Hamburger Helper labeled Gluten Free tonight. Chicken fried rice and cheesy hashbrowns I haven't seen yet with the new label. Forgot to check to see if gluten-free Bisquick was out yet. Hopefully at some point they will introduce a rice pasta or corn pasta version of the more "tradition" kind to see how reaction is instead of just...

    Open Original Shared Link I'm disgusted by this honestly. If all candy companies have to do is add a little flour to the mix and then it's exempt from sales tax, you know they will it it all across the country to save money instead of just Washington state only. I just hope this doesn't start a horrible trend for all Celiac's who grow used to knowing what...

    I buy them on occasion to eat with peanut butter on top as a quick snack at work. I noticed between the last purchase and this one, they added Gluten Free. I knew it already was but the label is a nice little reassurance.

    I just purchased the Creamy Mushroom yesterday and just ate it, and the label still says gluten-free. Maybe they are slowly phasing out the labeling for that? I hope not...

    I wish my Boss was somewhat like yours. He's still yet to fully grasp my situation when he offers to bring in food for us on occasion. He's getting better about it, but considering the last Saturday I worked, he asked what I could have, and off top of head fast food wise, I wasn't sure. He said "What about Pancakes?". I just gave him this dumbfounded look...

    I can't fathom how he doesn't believe you have Celiac when yet it seems like he's seen first hand what happens to you if you have some CC. You can't fake diarrhea and doubling over pain, etc...Well, you shouldn't be able to unless your damn talented

    I haven't checked any other Hy-Vee's yet to see if they have dedicated an entire aisle. It's not a long/large aisle, but it is in their 'Health Market' section. The 2 I visit the most (Altoona and one off I-35 and Mills Civic Parkway Open Original Shared Link ), the one in WDM is the first I have seen putting an entire aisle to gluten-free items. Granted...

    This is why I mainly stick to Hy-Vee. Better atmosphere, employees (most of the time), and a decent list of gluten-free items. Granted, I pay more each trip but the cost is worth it.

    I too preferred the old taste of Kix even though that version is a no-no now...at least Trix has a better taste but seeing it without the fruit shapes still weirds me. But I can have it so I can't complain

    I've noticed the smaller gluten-free label but it doesn't bother me. Since it was "new" at the time, it was bound to be plastered on the box. As above said, the "newness" has worn off so it doesn't need to stand out as much.

    A little squish isn't a bad thing. I'll admit that I love women with a *little* padding Just more realistic then all the people on TV/Magazines, etc...

    Wow, that's an awesome experience! I've yet to find someone that indepth on things but since its your university cafeteria, you'll be seeing them more often so its a good chance of repeat experiences. Maybe give some feedback to a higher up via whatever means are available, since he went above and beyond.

    How freaky, my pinky fingers are shorter then my ring finger's final crease and diagnosed celiac. One of my brothers so far, his is longer so I told him he's probably safe
  15. Jonbo
    I think the FDA is still in the debating (or finished it) on their guidelines for labeling a product 'Gluten Free' or some variant of it. So for now, its "legal" even though it seems improper to label something 'Naturally Gluten Free' and then mention possible CC in the ingredients labeling.

    ARCHIVED Liar, Liar?

    Unfortunately since it seemed he wasn't willing to understand your situation, it wouldn't work in the long run. Hopefully you find someone that will

    Another place carrying Redbridge. More places need to carry Bard's!

    I recently made a thread about the numerous selection that Ferrara's has online when I came across it by accident on Google. I'm considering going to Cedar Point in OH next spring/summer and even though its still a decent drive there, I've contemplated doing it as a special occasion because of the selection. Seeing a first hand review makes me consider it...

    I know Reese's are at last check so I don't see why the Dark ones are any different but check the ingredients (duh ) and I'd advise calling them to verify since their website hasn't updated yet.

    I don't go to Bars much but last weekend when a friend has his bachelor party, one out of 4 bars we hit had Redbridge which at first shocked me a bit they carried it. Couldn't have it though (DD) and didn't want ot anyways since I love Bards much more but will tolerate it if I wasn't the DD. Do they carry any Hard Cider's? Might be your best bet depending...

    I suffer a variation of the "Celiac Belly" if I ingest Gluten. Pre-diagnosis it would distend pretty severely in one area above belly button and become literally as hard as a rock (I dubbed it 'Brick Phase') and get constant pain with occasional shooting pain. Post-diagnosis, if I have accidental ingestion it will just "brick" itself with distention. My only...

    Definitely a good deal. Unfortunately I'm not in/was in the military.

  24. Jonbo
    The funny thing, is that I always read the label and if doubted, I just not have it. Especially in person if food is already prepared and I'm just not sure I'll skip it. But one of those lapse of judgments because it was first time I'd been with them in a few months or so and just assumed it was just cheese. I don't think you came across as condescending...

    Went to a midnight showing of The Final Destination Thurs Night/Fri morning. Get popcorn and saw some Nacho Cheddar/White Cheddar seasoning on the side. I being stupid didn't thoroughly check the bottles of them but don't recall seeing an ingredient list. Since it was a rare night out for me (in town visiting friends/family after incisional hernia repair...
