    I literally just made shortbread cookies tonight, with Bob's Red Mill shortbread mix. It's actually really very good! I am not a big fan of some of his other mixes, but this was just right. Definitely check it out if you are missing shortbread cookies.

    Hard cider (like Magner's), hard liquor, and truly gluten free beer (like RedBridge) is all I need! I can't believe something made with barley is still being toted as gluten free. Talk about a lawsuit waiting to happen!

    All gluten free products are wheat free, but not all wheat free products are gluten free. As vodka is gluten free, it is therefore wheat free.

    Not to sound like a downer, because you have had quite a rough time with your medical history, but I would think long and hard before applying for a Wish. The program, as I've understood it, is for children with fatal illnesses (usually cancer, leukemia, etc.) While Celiac IS a difficult lifestyle to adjust to, I would not place it even close to the ballpark...

    It's one of those things at this point where you just have to "grin and bear it". Specialty gluten free foods do cost more, which is something I understand. I usually only choose these dishes if it's something I'd really have to go out of my way to prepare at home, though. I'd rather pay an extra few bucks for a complex gluten free dish than for a hamburger...

    I ate some of the new recipe Kix, but got really sick (glutened) after doing so. Eat at your own risk. I'm staying away until they get the official "gluten free" label. GM is so good about being careful about labeling things gluten free that I trust them when they won't risk it to put the label on.

    Boar's Head. All of their products are gluten free and SO good. Minimally processed and preserved. A little expensive but definitely worth it.

    Look into getting a microwavable pasta maker! They're pretty cheap (10 to 20 bucks) and sound like a good investment for us college students.

    While I definitely still mainly eat naturally gluten free foods like meat, fruit, veg, there is still something to be said for supporting the small but growing gluten free industry, even in the bigger manufacturers. Finding gluten-free food is getting easier, but that's only because companies see a market to be tapped. If not many buy gluten free product...

    I agree about staying near a restaurant that does gluten free breakfasts. I can personally recommend Peter's Diner, which, while it doesn't sound like too much, has an extensive and delicious gluten free menu, including pancakes and french toast. It's located on the upper east side, on 1st Ave, in the early 80s. I googled upper east side hotels, and...

    Hi everyone, This is my 10th year being gluten free, and i'm halfway through my second year at college. First, let me just say that it IS really hard, and there will be LOTS of temptations (from late-night pizza to beer to cafeteria food). However, nothing tastes as good as feeling good. You can be gluten free at college. Corn tortilla chips, salsa...

    I agree, not a stupid question at all. I have heard both sides to the argument about whether or not topical products will affect the gluten-averse. I think it (like so many nuances of this disease) is personal and depends on your own health. If you react to gluten-containing topical products (like your hair dye) then you should stay away from them. If this...

    This happens to me whenever I am "glutenend". I don't know the medical reasons why it occurs, but it's from the adjustment of your body to not having gluten. It should even out soon, so keep on healthy snacking!
