    If you have a Whole Foods Market near you they make chocolate chip cookies in their gluten-free bakery that are great..... a million calories but really good. Susan

    Yes their coconut milk is gluten-free. I use it all the time, sometimes it makes my stomach a bit funny but that's when I use it with tons of green hot curry. Here is Thai Kitchens list of gluten-free: Open Original Shared Link Susan

    Well the only advice I can think of is before leaving to get a gluten-free dining card translanted into the languages you need. Some of them are already available on the internet (I can't remember where but I do remember seeing them), but I can't imagine it would be too hard to get them in any language. Susan

    My boyfriend is similar.... he starts talking to restaurants before I do. This weekend we are leaving on a week trip to upstate new york and he has already mapped out where the gluten-free places (chains and places that we found by writing to the various celiac groups in the area. He also mapped out health food stores and called them to see if they have...

    I'm a bad mom I guess.... I'd just toss out the stuff that makes him sick and replace with gluten-free. No its not always the same but some of it is really good. It gives you a chance to try new stuff and you can buy some of the baking mixes (brownies, banana bread) and bake them together. At 6 my daughter could bake cookies by herself (ok I'd do the...

    I go to our local PetSmart, they do have dogs and cats there for adoption but they are all from the local shelter. I feed my dog Nutro Natural Ultra Senior (a mouth full!) and I know they have cat food as well. But again, cats don't need ceral ingredients and I won't feed my dog wheat ingredients, I'm ok with rice but not doing wheat in my dogs food. When...

    Cats are one of nature's very few carnavoirs and they really don't need anything like wheat in their diets. The manufacture adds it to control costs. You'd be doing your cat a favor to feed him/her wheat free cat food. Susan

    HI and welcome to the group, I'm on Cape Cod and there is a Celiac group on the Cape (I'm not a member yet....) and I know there is one (probably more then one) in Boston too. Are you saying that the bakery in Vermont is Gluten Free? Heck I'd drive to Vermont for that! I love VT any how. Why isn't there a gluten-free bakery in Boston thats what I...

    My Celiac symptoms started immediatly after child birth for me too. I suffered for 11 years with supposedly Chronic Fatigue, lactose intolerance, and IBS, when what I really had is Celiac. Susan

    I don't really miss any of the junk either... not any more, so maybe after more time goes by it won't be as important to you either... I do however miss pizza, it was a good I loved (not the pizza hut kind... gross!) and we have a great gourmet pizza place on Cape Cod, Sweet Tomatoes... there pizza is to die for (well almost) and once in a while I really...

    Our Whole Foods in Hingham, MA has all the fresh baked goods, so do the ones in the Boston area and they have had them for months. However they are often sold out or close to sold out but if you ask at the bakery they will go in the back and get them (they usually have extra in back). Susan

    Yesterday I was in Whole Foods and I was looking to try some new power bars (or whatever you call them) I eat laurabars, envirokids but wanted to try some with nuts and fruit in them (I did find a bunch). However one of them and I can't remember which kind, said gluten free right on the front but the ingredients said: oats (made gluten free) I didn...

    I've read about similar experiences on these boards, I'm very thankful they have never happened to me. But I do agree with the poster that said, why did you stay? Probably you had other people in your party that wanted to stay but even so... there had to be other places that you'd all like that would be more accomodating. I make it a point to never go...

    Darn... I can't lay my hands on it but I was told via an e-mail that Golds horseraddish is on the gluten-free list. Also Kraft makes a horse raddish sauce (it might have mayo in it) and Kraft will not hide gluten ingredients and that is also gluten-free. Susan

    I really enjoyed reading Dangerous Grains and the book makes perfect sense to me. I really love the statement that "closer the food looks to the way it comes in nature then the more likely I am to be able to eat it". When I was first diagnoses with celiac disease I ate only that natural way, fish, chicken, veggies fruits, I loved carbs too but after about...

    There are a lot of self diagnosed Celiac's around, I guess I'm one. I had problems for 11 plus years and my doctor did "the blood test" for Celiac. Right after I had the test I went gluten-free and by the time the results came in a week later, after just one week of gluten-free, I felt wonderful and most of my symptoms were gone. Interestingly when I went...

    I do believe in alternative medicine and I do believe that a good, well trained accupuncturist can help with many things. Its certainly worth a try. I noticed that almost everyone here mentioned that it won't bring about a cure however from your e-mail I'm sure you know that, I don't think a cure is what you are looking for. I do agree with being sure...

    Wow I usually don't buy expensive makeup but lipstick is the one area that I drop the bucks on (usually at Sephora, Dior, Chanel) I see a huge difference in the cheap vs. expensive stuff. There is something in cheap lipstick that when I put it on my lips in a few minutes I feel "something" almost like an itch in the back of my throat, then a few minutes...

    The lipstick thing bothers me, I love lipstick and I gave most of mine to my daughter... is there a list of make up companies somewhere so I can find out what is gluten-free? Susan

    Arcades are fun if you can find them... here in New England we still have a lot of old fashion ones that have Skeeball and such, tons of fun. My BF and I love day hiking and of course we carry food for that so its easy. We picnic, that way you can enjoy food and wine and know its perfectly ok to eat (needless to say you pack the basket). I love kayaking...

    I love California Baby products I get them at our local health food store and have been using them for a couple of years! Very mild. Susan

    I've had the rice at PF Changs and never had a problem. I do want to add a quick note here about all rice being gluten-free, keep in mind at some good restaurants they cook it in some chicken broth for added flavor and that of course might not make it gluten-free. I've not found this often but I have seen it once or twice so now when I see rice...

    I have changed my facial lotions and I usually use a gluten-free shampoo but I have fine hair and when I'm going out on a big date with my BF I use my Bumble and Bumble shampoo for fine hair... now I don't know if there is any gluten in it, I've not checked but it sure does fluff up my hair better then any other shampoo. I try to be really careful when I...

    pixiegirl replied to Jnkmnky's topic in Publications & Publicity

    I just wanted to add this, in the beginning of this thread someone asked, if every 1 in 133 people has Celiac why isn't it more well known. If I understand this correctly, this figure was derived from testing done at various blood banks (in think in the Carolina region, not sure about this bit), when people came to donate blood they asked them if they...
