Kirkland Brand Gluten Free
Lesx2 replied to fortworthmom's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Watch out on the chicken if you cannot tolerate nightshades. They started adding paprika recently. So bummed! Kirkland shampoo and cream rinse are gluten-free, ditto with dog food ( heh, healthier for Fido too). The Costco magazine has stated that all the Kirkland spices are gluten-free and have never had a problem The Kirkland version of Immodium... -
ARCHIVED Special Meals On Planes?
Lesx2 replied to Nikki2777's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
helpful hint - to keep your traveling food cold, pack in an insulated lunch bag with a bag of frozen peas. Ice packs won't clear TSA, but peas do! Was just told recently that you can now take a frozen (frozen solid) bottlr of water with you through security. tried it last week at LAX as I had extra time. My carry on bag got pulled for the secondary inspection... -

ARCHIVED Myths About Gluten In Everyday Non Edible Objects?
Lesx2 replied to irish daveyboy's topic in Super Sensitive People
There is no scientific evidence to back this but I find it interesting that when I have used products with gluten, they cause problems . Not typical problems found when ingesting gluten, but other issues... For example.... Suntan lotion w G = very red sun burn, gluten-free= nice tan Hand and body lotion w G= sticky skin, gluten-free lotion= soft, silky... -

Bring your own food. I eat out a lot either socially or on business trips. I always bring my own food (in case there is not anything on menu that is safe) When the server asks for your order just quietly say "I have severe food allergies so I have my own food to eat" I will usually order a beverage. 90% of the time the server even brings me a plate...

I travel 1-3 times a month on business and always bring food with me to supplement what I can safely eat or to feed me if nothing is available. Costco sell a great soft sided cooler ( called Coolmate) that has flown all over the world with me.

ARCHIVED Get A Massage Therapist!
Lesx2 replied to saintmaybe's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
For more affordable options, check to see if there are massage schools in your area. Usually getting a massage at a school about the same price as a pedicure! May not be fancy like a spa, but have almost always had a good treatment. -
More and more all the time. My #1 vote goes to Four Seasons Scottsdale (the exec chef there, Chef Mel, daughter has food allergies so he has labeled all menus and staff are very well trained). Was at Kimpton Hotel Solamar last week in San Diego and menu was clearly marked. Kauai Marriott is starting to make changes and found gluten-free snack items in Grand...
