    Husband is Celiac. I trust Culver's only if actually eating there, so we can correct things right away. Have not had any trouble with them.

    I really did something stupid and bought frozen gluten free waffles while staying with mother in law. The toaster is not gluten free and I forgot the bags I use to toast them in. Is there any other way to fix frozen waffles without a toaster?

    A new Cheddar's is opening up in my area. I do remember some comments, mostly negative, about Cheddar's, but was wondering if it's a remote possibility for celiac hubby.

    UPDATE!! Our Olive Garden got the different pasta, and it is vast improvement over what they had. Unfortunately, they have not had the time to print up a new gluten-free menu, but our server was VERY helpful.

    We've had good luck at Olive Garden, but we live in a small market, and it's easy for the servers to get to know us. We usually go with a good friend who doesn't mind omitting croutons (even though both he and I can have them), so there is no confusion about the salad. The pasta is a bit dry, but we solve that by getting marinara sauce "for the breadsticks...

    Any gluten free options here?

    Canyon Bakehouse is the best for us. Celiac Hubby can now eat a "regular" sandwich without it falling apart. Fortunately we can afford the price, and I order on-line. Shipping is a little steep, but again, it's worth it for us.

    We saw a couple from far away. We had planned to go, but none of the castles close by were "stroller-friendly." We hope to do more sight-seeing on our next trip over.

    Trip to Germany was great! We stayed with daughter, son-in-law, and new grand-daughter, so eating out was not an issue. The commissary on base had a lot of gluten-free grocery options, and the German drug store we went to had tons of Dr. Shar products. There were some I had never seen before, especially in the variety of breads, cookies, and assorted sweets...

    My Celiac hubby has a question. What if he doesn't eat everything he takes with him? Will there be any issues with left-over food when we land in Germany? We have ordered a gluten-free meal (and airline confirmed), but will be taking some food with us in case of the above-mentioned snafus. Thanks!

    I'm a little late, but celiac hubby has tried the bun. Typical gluten-free bun that breaks apart, so he still has to eat the burger with a fork. Wish they could get Canyon Bakehouse buns; they are the only ones, at this point, that hold together!

    Have never had a problem with Olive Garden. True their offerings are sparse. All of us order the salad with no croutons so there is no confusion on that. The pasta is OK enough to stand once in a while, according to celiac hubby. However, if we want real, good Italian food, we go to Biaggi's, which has an amazing gluten-free menu!

    Thanks for the good suggestions! We are flying to Germany non-stop from Chicago on United and have ordered the gluten-free meal for hubby. Still, we will have the suggested foods with us in case it looks inedible. The non-stop flights are a little pricier, but we thought it would be worth it to NOT have to deal with a stop-over at an airport terminal....

    Thanks for all the advice! Daughter has been scoping out stores as well, and we are probably going to ship some food over before our visit. I will definitely use the web sites because I hope we can do a lot of sight-seeing. Especially to Leipzig, because as an organist, I'm a huge Bach fan!

    Not all McDonald's are loaded with teenagers. I've seen many with older employees. We get the Quarter Pounder with cheese, no bun and fries, and celiac hubby is fine with that. But again, if your son is very sensitive, I'd pack him a lunch, but allow him to get a milkshake. And, if anyone gives you grief about bringing in food - four words - Americans...

    Wow! I got a message on my work phone from someone who obviously didn't care...Basically Six Flags Fiesta has no gluten-free options, but we would be free to bring in snacks provided we checked in with customer relations. And, we could keep food in a cooler in the car. I don't think so! Sea World, on the other hand, seems to have some gluten-free options...

    Has anyone been to San Antonio? Any ideas on good places to eat, especially at the subject locations? Thanks!

    Grafenwoehr is now a training facility, from what I understand from my son-in-law. I remember most of the Cold War, the bomb drills and such. I'm sure it's very different now. It seems like the Army bends over backwards to help people transition from the US to Germany.
  19. MindytheOrganist
    Doesn't the Americans With Disabilites Act cover bringing food into restaurants?
  20. MindytheOrganist
    We recently spent some time at the subject resort in mid-February. Out of the 7 restaurants there, three of them offered gluten-free options. The Concierge (sp?) was very helpful and gave us a copy of a listing she had generated of gluten-friendly restaurants within a few miles of the resort (at least 5 within walking distance). Their deli had a wide variety...

    Son-in-law is being stationed in Germany, in Grafenwoehr. My first grand-baby will be born there this coming August. Any suggestions/ideas on gluten-free options? We will probably have to stay in a hotel. I've already written down suggestions from the previous posting about long flights, but any new ideas would be appreciated. Husband is celiac, but...

    When I started working over 30 years ago, lunch with co-workers was simple. Just order sandwiches, chips and soft drinks. Today, with more diversity in my company, we have to worry about all sorts of diet restrictions. Vegan, Vegetarian, No Pork, No meat, but tuna is OK, No cheese, No eggs...and so on. Then, add no soy, nuts, gluten, dairy, and its no...

    Thanks! Sounds very good. Now, I have an excuse to go get a heavy mixer (I only have a hand-held mixer).
  24. MindytheOrganist
    Does anybody have a gluten free flatbread recipe? Or, has anyone managed to duplicate Biaggi's gluten free bread?

    My father passed away suddenly, well his brain died on September 7th, his body on September 11th. We had to leave home suddenly and I packed only a few of the basic gluten-free foods for him. He was such a trooper and waited patiently for the day we could finally stock up on some good gluten-free foods for him. People brought in meals he couldn't eat and...
