    I totally agree, most gluten-free bread is NOT bread! LOL, Susan

    I eat at our local McD's and I'm very sensitive and I've never been sick. However, when I first went there I tried to speak to the employees about gluten-free and they were clueless, heck until I had celiac disease I didn't know anything about it so its crazy to depend on a high school kid for info. I asked to speak to the manager and he not only understood...

    Hi and welcome CatWhisperer! (ok I'm a dog person but I've had two wonderful cats in my life, Kitty Thom and Nana (who is male, don't ask about the name!) About the D.... I have similar diagnoses to you IBS for 11 years and then found out its Celiac. However I still have some issues with the D.... when I first went gluten-free I was totally better in...

    My house is mixed too.... I am a neat freak so I don't worry too much about the crumbs from my daughters stuff, I'm constantly wiping things. I use my own cutting board and I wash everything she uses really well. I guess I'm use to doing that my daughter has a life threatening peanut and tree nut allergy and I still eat peanut butter (occasionally) and...

    Fritos make me sick every time I eat them, I'm not sure why but they do. susan

    I travel often and let me say I always pack some snacks in a carry one just in case.... Like the time I was stuck in a tiny airport for 7 hours due to bad weather and all they had were vending machines.. boy was I glad for my snacks! I've had gluten free meals on American... I got rice cakes and peanut butter, salad, chicken and broccoli. It wasn't great...

    I'm going to be eating Oysters on the half shell soon, I'll ask about the red spicy sauce (the ketchup stuff) but how about Tabasco and horseradish? Thanks, Susan

    ARCHIVED Indian Food

    pixiegirl posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I am going to a business dinner tonight and they picked a fancy Indian place.... the menu is online and every dish sounds great but of course says "spices"........ lamb with curry and spices, fish with tomato and spices. Does anyone have any suggestions on what dishes have the lowest chance of me getting glutened? I am going to explain and ask when...

    I know Pepto bismal is gluten-free, well the liquid stuff but are the chewable tablets gluten-free as well?? I was diagnosed last Sept. and going gluten-free cleared up my D immediately, then in late April I was in Florida and glutened almost every day, it was awful. I've had the runs and a sore belly since then and very little helps. Yes I'm calling...

    Well if I had a choice of getting rid of guns or doctors I'd choose guns. Even with the statistics. I think in this day and age, we have to be our own health care advocates as much as we can. I know too many people that accept what the doctor or health care professional says like its the law. Double check as much as you can, go online and learn about...

    I'd certainly do the new therapy, once it was tested and proved to be totally effective, of course. I think they would be able to tell with endoscopy's if it really worked or if there was still intentinal damage. Would I change my entire diet to a gluten one again... the answer to that is no, however I was not a huge bread eater/gluten eater before. ...

    Hi Michelle, I didn't use any more then a fully saturated q-tip with the 12 oz of warm water but I did really soak it and took it right from the tea tree bottle to the warm water so there may have been a drop on it at times and then swished it around. It doesn't sting at all this way, it actually felt good. Again I used it 2 times a day for maybe...

    Well to me the best gluten-free bread in the world is Manna by Anna, its a mix and you can just mix it up and bake it or put it in a bread machine. I've tried at least 15 different gluten-free breads and I felt just like you, they were terrible, I wouldn't even eat them. This is so different, its wonderful and doesn't stick to your teeth like many rice...

    Hmmm I'd be worried about the buttermilk, it contains a natural sugar and sugars feed yeast... do you know why that works? I can relate my own yeast story. I had an almost constant yeast infection for 2 years.... I took so much dulfican it was awful. It helped and then it would come back a week later. My ob sent me to a clinic for drug resistant yeast...

    I hate to say I was severly glutend about a month ago and I'm not better yet, I still have the runs... I was fine before this.... sigh. I haven't really done much for it, I just now started Pepto (I get really sick with Imodium, it makes me feel drunk, dizzy vertigo, yuck) and its a bit better already. Once you've been gluten-free a while ingesting gluten...

    I'm not sure Clorox does any good! Certainly your countertops are sterlized but I don't believe it has any effect on gluten one way or another. My household is easier to manage, its just my daughter and I... but at this point she is not gluten-free. I'm a neat person so that helps... I have my own cutting board and she has her's. I don't use any of...

    I was on the pill for over 20 years before I went off at 37 (and promptly got pregnant - 3 months later). I felt good when I went off of them, like I had a little extra energy. My periods got heavier (which they were prior to going on it) and I had a bit more cramping (which I had prior to the pill as well) but other then that I didn't have any problems...

    Rob, Thanks for the idea about New Morning... if it says no nuts thats fantastic! I'll look for it in Whole foods and/or Trader Joe's next time I go. Its really hard to be Celiac and no nuts... As far as the Airedale... thats my dog Daisy and they are the very best dogs! Wonderful around kids and they can be real clowns! thanks again, Susan...

    Well that wouldn't be a huge issue for me... I never did eat junk (well on rare occasion) and thats what I still do, I've eaten healthy since I was young and that's how I like to eat so for me being able to be "cured" of Celiac would just allow me more freedom. I travel extensively and its very hard to get food on the run and in some of the areas I travel...

    I like EnviroKids but my daughter can't have it, its processed in a plant with peanuts and tree nuts, as are most of the above cereals. Darn this is hard to have peanut and nut issues and try and go gluten-free. Susan

    The problem with the health food ones is that almost all of them contain nuts or were made in a factory that uses nuts. My daughter is deathly allergic. susan

    Are there any mainstream cereals that are gluten-free, like Kellogs or Post, how about rice krispies, or kix? Thanks... Susan

    What a disappointment. You can e-mail them about this right here: Open Original Shared Link I hope a lot of us do contact them and let them know what a bummer this is. susan

    I support stem cell research but totally understand that we all get to make our own choices about what is "right" and that there are people who don't think stem cell research is. However... I think a lot of people don't totally understand it or where it comes from (a variety of sources). My boyfriend was against it but hadn't really read much about it,...

    Keep in mind that many rice pilaf's contain orzo which is a pasta shaped like rice, and they all have seasonings I'd be afraid of. I eat plain white rice and I ask if its cooked in chicken broth or water. If its cooked in chicken broth I have the baked potato. susan
