    My favorite is a can of light chunk tuna mixed with horseradish, a spoonful of soy yogurt, relish, half an avocado, adobo spice and hot paprika all mixed together. Put that over romain, grape tomatoes, cukes, etc. Definitely my favorite thing to eat when it is hot out. Not very inspired, but super easy, tasty, and pretty darn healthy. Plus I don't have...

    I so sympathize with you! About a year ago, my fiance, my sister and I went to a family-owned Italian restaurant here in Rockford. Been around here forever. They are the only restaurant around that offers gluten free pasta. Of course I was intrigued. So I order it. I got so sick afterwards that I couldn't leave my house because of, um... embarrassment...

    I use Classico red sauce (I believe all of their sauces are gluten-free, but I would double check that statement) or Newman's Own.

    I'm a rightie.

    I have had very good luck with this pasta... and it is cheap to boot!

    I'm a bit late to this thread, but I have a TON of kohlrabi. While I like it raw, does anyone have any tried and true recipes for it? I think kohlrabi in a stir fry would be tasty... Also, my compost bin sprouted! Now I have either watermelon or cantelope and of course pumpkins... I love it when that happens - last year we had mystery zucchini and tomatoes...

    I have a few restaurants that I know I can go to (2 Asian restaurants, 1 Mexican restaurant, 1 chain, 1 local/American-ized food) so between these restaurants we always have somewhere we can go. If for some reason we want to try something new, I try to find their menu online and then call the restaurant at a non-hectic hour (like 2 in the afternoon on a...

    I live in Rockford, IL. - there are no gluten free pizza places here -even though we are the 2nd largest city in Illinois. I am just going to carry a large purse with my own food in it. I honestly cannot see them saying anything.

    gluten-free ice cream cake would be the best. I wish I had a Ben & Jerry's around here!

    My mom bought me Ben & Jerry's Limited Edition Flourless Chocolate Cake ice cream yesterday. I saw the ubiquitous 'natural flavors' - I am very wary of this term! This morning I called their consumer services and was told that they will label ALL wheat, rye, barley, oats, etc. (in addition to ANY allergens). Just a little info from me to you...

    I may ask if we can change restaurants, but I am not holding my breath. And I don't want to ruin my sister's birthday (especially since she loves pizza so much). I think I'll probably stick a Larabar and some Ener-g pretzels or something in my purse... I told my mom the story and she said just brown bag it - what are they going to do? Kick me out...

    My sister's 20th birthday is Friday. So on Saturday, my grandma and one of my aunts thought it would be a good idea to celebrate Emily's (my sister) and my uncle's birthdays. They chose a pizza place. This is fine with me. At this point, I am not livid. I understand people like pizza and twelve people don't have to have dietary restrictions because...

    5'6" 1/2 -- and I am the shortest in my family! My mom is 5'10", my dad is 6', and my brother is 6'4". I did get the big feet, though...

    I had horrible headaches before going gluten-free. I don't think I went more than three days without a headache from age 8 to age 20. They would get so bad I would vomit. I still occasionally get a migraine, but less than once a month, which is much better than it was! And they don't last nearly as long as they used to (usually now less than half a...

    I definitely feel like members of my dad's side of the family (namely my ninety year old grandma and my uncle) have celiac. My grandma had intestinal cancer fifteen years ago and my uncle has had "IBS" for a very long time. My mom approached my grandma after my diagnosis and my grandma said that their family is normal and everyone has stomach issues ...

    Buying some products online (especially at that river-in-So.-America website) is cheaper -- at least compared to the stores I went to college near so look into that. I agree that eating more simply is cheaper all around, though. A seasoned protein, a vegetable, a salad, and maybe rice or beans would be a good meal. Beans are super cheap, as is rice....

    Breakfasts: -- big bowl of fruit (I have this most days) -- stir fried veggies & a piece of meat -- yogurt with bloobs & Enjoy Life granola -- canned pumpkin with a banana mashed in (sometimes with another fruit, like bluberries or black berries) with cinnamon on top Lunches: -- leftovers (most days) -- big salad with Walden Farms dressing...

    I have tried the Chebe cinnamon dry mix once to disastrous results. I made them into cinnamon "breadsticks" and they were rock hard -- resulting in inedible paperweights. I think that was operator error on my part I won a few bags a few weeks back at a celiac walk and now I want to try again! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to use this product...

    I stick to Maker's Mark and diet coke/pepsi. Or gin and tonic or sprite. I used to love amaretto stone sours and mai tais but have not had them since because I am hesitant with mixers also.

    That is a really interesting question -- and quite subjective! I pretty much say the fewer ingredients the better. I wouldn't consider a bag of rice or a bag of beans a "processed food" although they technically have been processed. I use dried foods (that I have dried myself or bought) a lot and I don't consider them over processed. What about spices...

    I second lunchinabox.net but also do a flickr search of "laptop lunches" -- there are a lot of people on there who take photos of their children's lunches (but not all are gluten-free) - I have gotten quite a few lunch ideas for myself on there. I agree that buying bread every week would be really expensive. I put just the inside of a sandwich in my lunch...

    Agreed - Katz is awesome! Their mini challahs and their cinnamon rugelich are so good! I like Udi's a lot, too. I bought mine at Woodman's and it was in the frozen section next to Katz and Kinnikinick.

    I was never a beer drinker before, but I love Redbridge, sauerkraut, and sausage baked together. I also use it for "beer butt" chicken. It is delicious.

    I don't like chickpeas at all -- the texture gets to me -- so I always use Great Northern (white) beans as a substitution. Great in hummus and also in chana masala (both traditionally chickpea-centric).

    I hear ya on the flour storage! My mom (a gluten eater) likes to make cookies for me and experiment - she has a whole cupboard filled with different kinds of flour - seriously every kind of flour you can imagine. I wish I had that much space! I cleaned out my pantry recently and found SIX different half used bags of flour in random spots -- a little...
