    Good morning, Sillyville!

    We don't have Papa John's here in the Toronto area, but any move to provide a gluten-free option at a pizzeria (or other chain restaurant) is certainly something that I think most of us would support. A pizza chain in Ontario introduced a gluten-free option about a year ago on a trial basis. I have had it several times and found it to be fairly good. It is...

    I'll second Jess' idea. The moderators are all volunteers. We are diligent and try to ensure new topics are reviewed and pinned in a timely manner. Sometimes one slips by us.

    You know, what bugs me is, you know, like, sports figures who are interviewed on, like, you know, television, after, like, you know, the game is over, and they want to tell us about, you know, the game. NO, I DON'T KNOW! That's why you're being interviewed, so, like, you know, you can tell us what WE DON'T (YET) KNOW!! If we knew, you wouldn't be here...

    Hmmm. What type of router do you have? I am most familiar with the LinkSys WRT54G and its close relatives. Do you know just what the problem is with the configuration? I'll be offline for about the next hour--heading for the store with errands on the way. Love the substandards in the av!

    Good morning! Thursday was a quiet, rainy day. Today it is sunny, and it continues to be unseasonably mild. Where are all the sillies?

    Still not much silly here. A nasty day in Toronto for a lot of people. The Yonge subway (underground mass transit) was partially closed early in the day after somebody jumped in front of a train. Then in the afternoon, a construction contractor working above the line a few miles further north damaged the tunnel, so the line was shut through that...

    In the upper left of the screen, you will see "Logged in as:yourname" Click on your name. Your profile will appear. On the left side there is a pull-down menu labeled "Options." Click on the downward-pointing triangle, and a menu will appear. Click on "Find member's posts" and a search result list will appear with one entry for each post (including topic...

    Sheesh! After all you've been through already, you don't need more grief from family. Your MIL sounds like a real piece or work, but Jeez, hubby too? Will 14 bottles be enough? Mebbe Jess has some she can share; I think she's the closest of us. Oh, wait, it's her birthday so that would take priority. Not much silly here. Carry on!

    Jess, enjoy your special day!

    Happy Birthday, Jess!

    Welcome to the board! Time to recover varies greatly from individual. It depends very much on the extent to which your body has been damaged. In my own case, the symptoms began easing in a few days, but full recovery from symptoms took about three months. You say that your diet is wheat-free. That is necessary, but not sufficient. You must also avoid...

    Patti, the house looks great! But there is no porta-potty in the driveway? Did you hide it in the back yard. Inquiring minds want to know?

    Gee, Bev, sounds like phun. Em's hockey pros visiting yours. I want a professional hockey team in Toronto.

    Eight right at the moment.

    So, let's imagine two hypothetical, similar products. Product A is labeled as gluten-free, but they do not test and rely on their good faith and hope that major cross contamination does not happen. They, of course, say nothing on their package about testing. Product B is also labeled as gluten-free. This manufacturer is concerned that cross-contamination...

    Lurking invisibly, no doubt.

    Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce is gluten-free in the United States. The label has a tan background with maroon letters, and says gluten-free on the back. The version sold in Canada has an orange label with black lettering, and is *not* gluten-free. The first ingredient in the Canadian version is malt vinegar. You are in Michigan, so I would assume...

    I have found that following the gluten-free diet has helped me maintain better control of my blood sugar. Since most fast foods are out of the question, I have to plan my food intake in advance, and find that I am much less likely to overeat. My type 1 diabetes is now controlled by a combination of Lantus and Humalog, which has given me back a lot of freedom...

    That is a matter of some difference of opinion among experts. Most believe that there is a level, which will vary from person to person, below which the healing process is faster than the damage process. In our western society, where gluten is everywhere, I do not believe that anyone is truly 100% gluten-free. You are getting some from cross-contamination...

    Sticking to the original question, Progresso is a brand of General Mills. General Mills will always clearly disclose any gluten source by naming the source grain in the ingredient list. If you do not see any of the words wheat, barley, rye or oats in the list, then the product does not contain any gluten. Read the label and you will know, regardless of whether...

    Why wouldn't you make gluten-free meatballs? It's pretty easy. We do it all the time.

    I get it at my local grocery store, but that won't help you. You can buy it online from several sources, including Open Original Shared Link It is my understanding that selected WalMart locations have it.

    We have had great results with the Gluten-Free Pantry French bread and pizza mix.
