    Unless they make the rice noodles themselves, it's very likely there's some wheat in it. Dried noodles like those used in Pad Thai are generally safe, but fresh noodles like those in Pad See Ew and Lad Naa will likely have wheat. Soy sauce, oyster sauce, and broth (frequently knorr) all have gluten, and even if you don't order these things, whatever you...

    Oh my gosh... that sounds delicious!

    I pretty much only use my juicer in the summer. It's good stuff, but it is a bit of a pain to clean, as someone else mentioned.

    Mskedi replied to vegiac980's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    Find out what your meals are going to be like -- will you be eating out? Will food be provided for you through a service? Look up any Celiac resources in the area you'll be traveling too -- some places I've considered traveling to ended up looking like gluten-free HEAVEN. Maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised. Definitely tell your teachers/chaperones...

    Wow! Those look good! I have all those ingredients on hand right now... I just may try it tomorrow. I wonder if it could be par-baked and then frozen... hmm...

    Not only is it safe, but it's absolutely delicious.

    Congratulations on your diagnosis. Hopefully now that you know for sure what you're up against, things will get better for you! It looks like they already are improving a bit. I've been on the diet almost a year now and I'm STILL finding little ways that my quality of life has improved. It may not be fun to have Celiac Disease, but it's a heck of a lot better...

    Sometimes I take the risk, and sometimes I pay for it. When I discover a new place that can take care of me, though, I generally become a regular. I've started to see eating out as more of a social endeavor than a food adventure, and that helps. Recently I went somewhere where the ONLY thing I could have was plain, white rice. Seriously. But because the...

    Hmm... last time I made gluten-free pie crust, the dough itself didn't taste all that great, so I didn't make my usual cinnamon and sugar stuff with the extra, BUT when it was baked it was delicious, so maybe I should have. I've never fried it -- I'll have to try it out and let you all know how it turns out.

    Ooh... guess I'll be one of the first to try it since I'm going to the conference!

    I didn't have the heart to throw away all the nasty gluten-free breads I tried, so I froze them all and, for Thanksgiving, turned them into a delicious stuffing. It does seem to be the save-all use for awful bread! ...except for that one. The Tapioca Loaf was the first one I tried, too, and that promptly went in the trash. I couldn't eat more than...

    Even without the food angle, that looks like a really awesome camp.

    I'm going to be making an appointment tomorrow to see my doctor about my knee pain. Last time I was there she messed around with my knee, didn't find anything special, and told me to work on the muscles around my knee. I have, and this knee pain is STILL both erratic and annoying. It follows no pattern -- sometimes it will hurt as I walk upstairs, sometimes...

    I went through that, too. Mine eventually subsided, but it took at least a month -- maybe two. I think part of it going away was me getting a better hang on cooking my favorite foods gluten-free. I have a feeling a lot of those hunger pains were cravings for foods I could no longer eat, but that's just a guess. I've heard people on here talk about gluten...

    I'm useless for a good four to twenty-four hours. Because of that, I've gotten into the habit of only taking risks like eating out at a new place or eating something a friend prepared on Friday nights. That way I won't miss work. I got hit pretty bad this past Friday night, actually, and Saturday morning was no fun. It's still messing with me now, but I'm...

    Worried about your Celiac Disease or about your safety? I was running all over the place when I was around that age (I feel pretty old writing that sentence, by the way), and the worst trouble I ever got into was getting my wallet stolen. Hostels are super fun. I traveled alone sometimes and with a friend or my sister more often. I'm sure you'll be fine....

    I'd suggest getting it from an Asian market, if possible, as it costs a heck of a lot less. It'll probably be called glutinous rice flour there.

    Okay... at some point time needs to be made. It can't take more than five minutes to make a smoothie, including the rinsing of the blender (I have mornings where solid food is not an option, so I make morning smoothies frequently), and it can easily be poured into a reusable container (thermos? jamba juice refill bottle? tons of options). As far as that...

    I never considered malt could be made out of anything but barley! The things I learn... I LOVE malt, so this is pretty exciting. I'm going to have to find some rice-based malt to load up on!

    Oh man, I'm laughing way too much at this one!

    If you like garlic, The Stinking Rose in L.A. was very knowledgeable and took good care of me. I called ahead and talked to a chef, but I got the distinct feeling that if I hadn't done so I still would have been well taken care of. Disneyland is awesome about taking care of us. If you want some fast food, In-N-Out is likely your best bet. Just order...

    Like digmom said, we teachers are absolutely DRILLED on how important it is to keep health information we have on our students private. This is a HUGE issue, and since you mentioned the teasing before she blurted it out, it sounds like it wasn't accidental. It doubly sucks that the teacher doesn't seem to be doing her job. I'd bet if you mention the...

    That mass e-mail is a good idea! I think I've already told every single person I know, so it's too late for me, but I wish I had thought of it. Of course, on my dad's side of the family practically everyone HAS Celiac Disease, so they wouldn't have needed it.

    Kissing is the only real hidden danger I can think of. My husband and I share a gluten-free kitchen, which is nice, though occasionally he'll bring home something premade that has gluten. He's careful about contamination should he reheat something in the microwave, and he washes his hands immediately after (maybe I'm overreacting, but gluten-y hands touching...

    I used to actively boycott all Proctor and Gamble products (which is no small feat, let me tell you -- they're ubiquitous!). Since my much more politically energetic college days, I've let a few products slip back in (Gillette is the only one I can think of, but I'm sure there are more). This post reminds me of why I stopped purchasing their products to begin...
