I can give some answers to anxious travelers. I work as a server at Bennigan's. The only problem I've ever had is handling the rolls or when the cooks are prepping breaded items in the kitchen. I even recently waited on a customer with celiac disease at the restaurant. Here's the skinny from the back of the house. Burgers and buns are kept separate...

Here's a promo for this site. Under the safe and forbidden list section there is a list of alcohol that is safe for Celiacs with brand names and everything. I keep a copy in my cook book I do know that I can drink Peach schnapps and vodka without an issue and I love three-buck-Chuck from Trader Joe's. But who doesn't like wine that costs three dollars...

ARCHIVED Sunscreen
albapsyche replied to hapi2bgf's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't bother with sunscreen. Every kind I've tried I always break out in hives from. I only recently thought about the possiblity that sunscreens could have gluten in them, but I react to everything. I won't even use makeup with an SPF in it. I've tried everything and believe it or not, I break out from Banana Boat too. I don't think that this has... -
ARCHIVED Make-up
albapsyche replied to KayJay's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Sorry, my brain isn't entirely working tonight, but I have a question I should have added when I pinned my last comment. I break out in a horrible rash from sun screen. I was just wondering if this could have something to do with having celiac disease or if my skin is just nutty and doesn't like sun screen or the sun. Does any one else have this problem... -
ARCHIVED Make-up
albapsyche replied to KayJay's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Some products in Clinque are gluten-free, but you might also want to try Almay. Clinque is allergy tested and I ran into the problem of Wheat being added to an ingredient in one of my favorite colors of lipstick when I went to go buy more the last time. Almay is supposed to be allergy free, I've started using their foundation with some of my other Clinque... -
Carolyn, I went to Greece and Turkey a year ago in January. It was soo much easier than it ever is to eat here. I could usually find something to eat at a restaurant. Fruits and veges are always good options. Grilled meats are usually delicious too. You just have to be careful of what you would normally avoid here. I only had one mess up and it wasn...

The White Chocolate Reese's are also gluten freen. I can't say for the milk chocolate ones cause I'm allergic to coco. Anyway, that's my usual junk food when I need sugar and candy. Ravyn

School in Wisconsin-Sorry, but being gluten-free in Kenosha kind of stinks!! I can never find much of anything here. Home in Illinois-yay for Soup to Nuts in Geneva Soon to be Arizona bound-any suggestions? Ravyn

ARCHIVED Wheat-free & Gluten-free Foods May Contain Wheat
albapsyche replied to gf4life's topic in Publications & Publicity
That's slightly disturbing!! I hate to say it, but that is soo true. I had something a while ago that I thought was gluten-free, but it was cross-contaminated. Boy did I get a reminder of what this disorder is all about. Oh well, not much one can do until the food labels are redone. Ravyn -
ARCHIVED What To Do?
albapsyche replied to albapsyche's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you Shirley. That's what I thought. Thanks again. Ravyn -
I've got to ask, should my non-gluten-free family be tested? I've got celiac disease and so does my nephew, so should my family be tested for this as well? I was hoping somebody might have the answer. Cause both my parents will have strange reactions to stuff everyonce in a while. Thanks a bunch. Ravyn

I'm almost twenty-two and have been on this diet since I was seventeen. But When I was a little kid I had an allergy to wheat, which my mom thought I had outgrown. I never really needed any of the tests because this is the only possiblity, even my doctor said that because I only react with all my digestive splendor when I've gotten a hidden gluten. To...

ARCHIVED Bouillon
albapsyche replied to murda's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yeah, the Better than Bouillon stuff is really yummy. Even my non-gluten-free family members like it, and that's saying something. We use it in everything from Chinese to BBQ rice. It has a really pleasant flavor and is better than the regular bouillon cubes. Ravyn -
Just a piece of advice. Don't go to a small college. I'm in Kenosha, WI and their idea of health food is whole wheat. Thankfully the grocery store has started carrying more gluten-free products, but half the time I have to drive home every two weeks to get food that is microwaveable. Just make sure that when looking at schools see if there is somewhere...
