    Shoot! I was afraid of that. If only they could dedicate a fryer, it would put Chili's near the top of our list. Of course, nothing comes close to Biaggi's.

    I did not know the chips & salsa were gluten-free. I wrote to Chili's Corporate Office and was told the chips were NOT fried in a dedicated fryer and CC could occur. I do believe Chili's is getting better with gluten-free options.

    Welcome to the board. We are mostly gluten-free - the only gluten in the kitchen is one loaf of bread squirreled away in the freezer, which is for me if we have sandwiches. We are very careful about cross contamination when do have sandwiches. I'm not celiac, husband is. You will find a lot of information and answers to your questions here. Everyone...

    Got a box of no-bake cheesecake mix, threw out the crust packet, made the cheesecake and put it in a baking dish to set in the fridge. Served it with the strawberry topping. We did not miss the crust at all.

    Thanks all. The wings turned out delicious! Our first gluten-free Superbowl turned out well.

    Does anybody have a recipe for buffalo wings? On an impulse, I bought some chicken wings, and would like to make either buffalo or BBQ chicken wings for Super Bowl Sunday.

    Hubby - I call him "Fang" - had a meeting last week where pizza was provided. To his surprise, Godfather's had a gluten-free pizza for him. The box had a seal to keep it shut, warning against contamination. He brought the leftovers home, so I tried it. It was pretty decent. Then, this Sunday, they had a flyer and they advertised that they now offer...

    Sorry about your bad experience. We ate there once and they were pretty good about it. Celiac husband had grilled, plain fish with a baked potatato, along with a salad (no croutons, of course). I always bring along gluten-free ranch dressing, margarine, and bacon bits so he used them to spice up the fish a bit. They even added a side of fresh pineapple...

    We just realized that we need to check if the Caress bath bar (regular) is gluten-free! Do we really need to watch products like soap, shampoo, etc? Is Caress gluten-free? What about toothpaste? Hubby has celiac disease, but is pretty asymptomatic. The only thing noticeable about his is that a couple of people say his color is much better. Sister...

    I am a huge fan of Udi's bread. It comes the closest to "regular" bread. Husband has celiac disease and he loves Udi's. He takes his lunch to work 3 days a week and being able to make him a regular sandiwhich like I used to before the diagnosis is very well worth the price. Another decent bread is the Gluten-Free Pantry White Sandwich bread mix. It...

    Husband had been T1 Diabetic for 30 years. A1C's have always been great and he practices the "Tight-Control" method of controlling his diabetes by testing frequently and adjusting insulin as needed. All with the approval of his doctor. He was recently (late September) diagnosed with celiac disease. He had no symptoms except that one of his blood tests...

    I was nervous about visiting mother-in-law over the holidays. Was not sure she fully undersstood the impact of celiac disease. When we arrived, there was a note on the door saying she was grocery shopping and to call sister-in-law who was with her. Turns out, they were out shopping for gluten-free foods. So, except for the cold weather, our holiday trip...

    Wow! What a helpful site! Got what I needed. Thanks so much!

    We will be in the Louisville, KY area January 2nd and am wondering if there are any neat places that offer gluten-free alternatives? We already know we can eat at Olive Garden, Famous Daves, and Texas Roadhouse, but we like to find places unique to the area to eat as well. Also, any good health-food-stores that carry gluten-free products in the area?...

    I'm constantly on the lookout for new restaurants that have gluten-free options for newly diagnosed hubby. We've never been to Buffalo Wild Wings, but if they offer gluten-free options, we could become good customers. Thanks!

    I just found Udi's bread at one of our local stores, called HyVee. Udi's is pretty good for a loaf bread, so I can make Fang a "regular" sandwich again. I had been making bread from a popular gluten-free mix, which works well. Although, we found that particular bread does not "travel" well. By the time we got to my folk's place for Thanksgiving, the baked...

    Thanks for contacting Papa John's. I intend to do the same. In fact, I'm hitting all the websites of restaurants in our area and asking them to consider a gluten-free menu. Today, we went to a favorite restaurant and spoke with the manager about providing a gluten-free menu. I mentioned that having a gluten-free menu would put them ahead of another...

    Thanks for the info. I have a dedicated toaster oven for Fang and have duplicates of butter and peanut butter labled for Fang's use only.

    Every Thanksgiving, we have about 25-30 people at my folk's house. All relatives or guests of relatives. Anyway, we thought we were well prepared to proper feed my hubby (who is gluten-free); well, guess again. My sister tried to make gluten-free rolls. They never rose, and were horrible-tasting. I tried to make gluten-free dressing. It also tasted...

    My Mom was the same way with Type II diabetes. She refused to follow a decent diet and ate anything and everything she wanted, whenever she wanted. After many years, she has finally had it with feeling bad all the time, so she is in the process of consulting a dietician. Hopefully, your Mom will get fed up with feeling bad and take corrective actions....

    Hubby - let's call him "Fang," was diagnosed last month. He had (and has) no symptoms. Discovered via upper GI, ordered with a lower GI to find out why he was slightly anemic. I cannot print the first words he said upon diagnosis. His next words were, "Just great, another dietary restriction." Fang is also a Type I diabetic, so a steak and salad does...
