    Add me to the list of making my own... I can make it as sweet or as chocolately as I want.. and I can add vanilla or orange flavor to it, yum. Susan

    I've tried a ton of gluten-free breads and in my opinion the very best are Breads by Anna (Open Original Shared Link) or Whole Foods market gluten-free breads. Rice breads just don't toast well and they tend to fall apart. My favorite from the above is Anna's breads however its a mix and you have to make them first (I do it in my bread machine) so if you...

    Mine was easy as pie, they knocked me out! I was fine afterwards, a bit groggy but the next day I was back to normal, no sore throat. I was knocked out before they did anything, no throat spray nothing. Very simple. Susan

    excellent! thanks for the address I'm going to try it when I'm there! Susan

    I'm going to be in NYC next month and would like to try it, can you give a physical address for it because the website link isn't working for me. Thank you, Susan

    Please keep in mind that they have flour tortila's there so you really have to tell them everything has to be corn. Last time I was there I had the chicken fajita plate with corn chips. I think you can also have the taco's with corn tortilla's. If you google baja fresh gluten free I think you will find some more gluten-free suggestions for them there are...

    You don't need your flack jacket for my response but..... (always a but!)...... I can't say if McDonalds knew what was in their oil or not; however, its amazing to me that a company as big as McDonalds didn't know and if they truly didn't its amazing to me that when they put information on their web site as to the ingredients in their products that someone...

    I never really felt defeated or depressed when I first found out I had Celiac but it seemed like wheat was everywhere.... almost impossible to avoid. However I think when one is diagnosed with Celiac you should expect its going to take months, up to a year to really get it and get it all cleaned out of your house, etc. I cut out the obvious forms...

    I'm on Cape Cod and I have to drive to Hingham to hit the Whole foods there. I agree most Stop and Shops in MA have a fairly good gluten-free section but Whole Foods beats them by a mile. I use am up in Hingham every week to 10 days and the shopping center that the Whole Foods is in (Derby Street Shops) is great! Its got a ton of good stores from Kohls...

    I understand that the list in all in fun, and I also understand that the 2 people that got a little testy apologized....... all really good things so.... I hate that on the internet you write something with one intention and people "jump" on it without even asking questions about it. I often have to do so much defending and explaining! I don't...

    Keep in mind that not everybody "comes around". I usually say to people that I have Celiac and its like being severly allergic to wheat and gluten. I stress severly. Most people leave it at that. Obviously my friends and family know more about Celiac and some accept it, some don't. I honestly don't care if they do or not. I do and thats what counts...

    I've eaten at Braintree, Boston Copley Place, Boston prudential, Boston Park Square, Chestnut Hill and at Legal's in Palm Beach and I've never had a problem (all of them are a hike for me, I'm on the cape, but I travel for food!). I'm certainly going to avoid Peabody! Thanks for the heads up. Susan

    Well it is difficult to change life long eating habits, without a doubt. And quite honestly I don't know what will make it happen for you or easier. Everyone has their own levels of "addiction" I guess. I have 2 friends that still smake (well 1 now) and they have both smoked for over 20 years and using the same program 1 quit the very first try and the...

    I'm sorry, you're wrong I'm Anna's greatest fan ( ) I've not tried the yeast free one either. Susan

    I love Bonefish too, I've never had a problem them but I go over everything when I order and when the food is delivered. I agree that the staff there has been briefed on gluten issues, every time I've ever been in a Bonefish they have always known about gluten-free. Susan

    Will you please let us know how this turns out for you. I'm still amazed, since this thread started I've eaten at Legal 2 more times and ate the other day at a Baja Fresh and I was fine. Maybe I'm very lucky. I know I'm still a big reactor because about a week ago, don't ask me what I was thinking but I grabbed a goldfish cracker that my daughter was eating...

    I have bought the Life stream mesa sunrise waffles before and have eaten them with no problems, they say gluten free on them and have no warning about cross contamination. Last time I was in the store they also had buckwheat waffles that said Gluten free and non gluten ingredients. I just ate 2 of them and my belly is making a little noise (which isn...

    I use Arrowhead Mills, I think I've read that people have had problems with their products before and I'm not sure why, the company is owned by Hain, and they label really well. I use it often with no problems. This is a link to the Arrowhead Mills web site specifically the Corn meal product and it clearly says Gluten free. Open Original Shared Link...

    I fly constantly... at least a few times per month... and here is my best advice on getting a gluten-free meal. Order one ahead of time by calling the airline however, bring a full ration of food, snack bars, nuts if you can have them, cheese (which actually stays fresh at room temp for quite a while especially if its indivicually wrapped like the laughing...

    In my opinion its impossible for me to say I will or I won't. I take a wait and see attitude with this, however I travel all the time, a few times a month at least and I'd welcome something that I could take occasionally when I'm forced to eat in restaurants I'm not sure of. There have been a few times I've gotten gluten this way and I'm sick for a long...

    If you live near a metro area you should be able to find an asian area, Boston has "chinatown" and its filled with Asian markets and restaurants (and a few sex shops, herbal places, etc). If your area has even a small asian population there is almost always a market somewhere that serves that population. I've not had great luck at the markets however...

    Excellent, thank you very much!! Susan

    I travel a lot and I tend to get behind in the posts. When I come back I'm often behind by 100's and 100's of messages and I really can't go back and read them all. So I want to mark the forum read, so when I log in it doesn't show that I have 700 messages to read. How can I do this. So far it seems like unless I go to every single page (when I have...

    On top of gluten being out, I can't have tomatoes, peppers, green beans, squash or peanuts, I'm quite allergic to all of them. I have mild reactions to: lettuce, apple banana, beef, chicken, corn, egg, orange, potato, soy, tuna yeast, these I can eat infrequently and I will have a mild reaction. Susan

    Travel sized servings: This page of the Gluten free pantry has Annie's dressings in travel size (at end of page) Open Original Shared Link A lot of travel sizes, I heard they are going to carry gluten-free soy sauce soon. (I bought my Annie's salad dressings here but they are no longer on the web site... at least I couldn't find them) Open Original...
