    I usually have sautéed yellow peppers, kale (or spinach) mushrooms as a base. Then throw in some leftovers like baked sweet potato, or chicken chunks, add an egg and call it a breakfast!

    Lay's regular chips are gluten free. You might have reacted to the super greasy chips or one of the other ingredients in them.

    ARCHIVED Sonic Gluten Free

    cap6 replied to carey1's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Agree! The ice cream itself is most likely gluten free, it's the mixer since they don't super clean between uses. If they make those cookie or brownie shakes you are getting trace amounts of gluten. I have safely had their plain hot fudge sundae. Also, the ice cream has lots of added ingredients and you may be lactose intolerant.

    I have to agree with the responses. I wouldn't do it. If a food has been processed down to a powdered form then many of the natural nutrients has probably been processed out as well. Also how many other ingredients have been added into this to make it "pill form". Much healthier to eat a carrot than take it in pill form. In the beginning o my healing...

    Six years g.f. and my absolute rule is never eat at anyone's home unless they are also celiac. That rules out everyone except for one friend! Every time I bent the rule I got sick. It can be as easy as someone using the wrong spoon. Not worth it. I always take a little something for myself and no one questions it any more. It was hard in the beginning...

    It looks safe. If wheat were in the natural flavors it would be declared.

    I always say "allergy" as the establishment will take extra precautions. A lot of people eat g.f. by choice or have gluten intolerance and maybe don't have to be as careful . It's just easier to say "allergy".

    Thank you celiac Sharon. That was the first thing that jumped out at me too - he is a boyfriend, not a husband, and he acts like that??? You wrote "Because to me it seems insensitive and I dont get how he wouldnt try his best to make our kitchen safe for me. He makes it seem like I am selfish for wanting this for myself. I couldnt disagree more...

    I'll drink to learning about wine! It's gluten free!!! (except wine coolers. Forget the wine coolers. )

    I run with the gluten withdrawal. Also, your body is starting to heal and you are now processing the nutrients. Up until now your body may well have been in a starvation mode as your nutrients went sailing right through you. As ,long as you are eating good, clean, healthy foods I wouldn't worry. During my first year there were times when I would wake...

    I was going to say thyroid as well and most definitely check your iron levels. I am 6 years g.f. and constantly battle chronic fatigue. I would sleep 10 to 12 hours and take a 2 hour nap during the day. Now I am on 325mg iron x 3 a day. If I get lazy and don't take it, I pay! Even tho I eat quite well my doctor explained that some celiacs just plain...

    First ~ Re-introducing gluten after so many years is an "old" thing. I am 6 years diagnosed and I was originally told that same thing by my Dr. At the time my doctor was not terribly familiar with Celiac and started doing research right along with me. After she did more research on the (then) current studies she changed that to a "never eat gluten again...

    Well, here's my two cents on this one.... Yes, you can used shared stainless pots IF they are washed well in between uses. The only one I would not share is a pasta pot, even if run through the dishwasher as that pasta paste is sometimes very hard to completely remove. Run stuff through the dishwasher together, that's fine. (Restaurants run everything...

    It was almost 2 years before I could manage any dairy. At almost 6 years I still can't manage much - and I am a cheese lover too! A very (very very) small dish of ice cream every few months is about all I can do in the ice cream dept. I can do cheese in a dish, like tacos or stuffed potato and a piece or so here and there. We used to do cheese & crackers...

    You may have a Pity Party. It's all part of this process. I had so darn many Pity Parties in the beginning! Bummer was that not many people showed up! ha Seriously, hang in, it will pass and the positive feelings will come back.

    Why can't you just say you have a routine doctor appt. Everyone has yearly check-ups, mammograms, funny bumps or moles etc. It's no one's business why you have an appt. You could be going to the dentist for a cleaning for all they need to know.

    There are so many questions and so many answers to this! Were you underweight to start with? You body may be healing and starting to process all the nutrients which mean you finally start to gain. Are you closer to achieving your ideal weight? Were you overweight to start with and are you now gaining more? Are you now eating a lot of processed...

    Food products like hot dogs, cookies and bread all have multiple ingredients which can play hell on a gut that is still struggling to heal. Stick with fresh, whole, clean foods for at least 6 months and then slowly introduce one of your favorite goodies, like a hot dog, and see how you do. If a food product has ingredients, then it is not a whole clean...

    I was going to say the same as bartfull... Clean, whole and fresh foods. Nothing processed.

    This happened to me last week. Last time I was glutened was 2 years ago and I was so sick I wanted to curl up & die. Last week we ate out at out usual restaurant, I had my usual pasta dish and down at the bottom of the bowl was a wheat noodle. I looked at that & felt the cold chills of fear! Of course the manager was beside himself over how it...

    There is no one answer to this question for sure. Time. All I can say is time. And, as I've said before, the older you are when diagnosed and the longer you have been sick, the longer the recovery time. I am five years since diagnosed. In the beginning I was no longer able to open a wine bottle. My point being, there was no longer any strength...

    covered food in a micro should be safe. It is more likely that it was some of the ingredients in the fries that bothered you.

    Thank you for your responses. I knew 1 week was not near enough for Celiac but it is good to know about the Eosinophilic Esophagitis. Thank you. The test is tomorrow so we will see what happens as she won't do the gluten test. The main complaint was the almost year long diarrhea so we will see what happens. I am not happy with the high dose of acid reflux...

    Is anyone familiar with or know if Barrett's Esophagus is related to Celiac/gluten intolerance. The reason I ask is because my partner had bad diarrhea for a year, starting in May 2014. We maintain a gluten free home for me but she would eat gluten when out and about. Finally after two scopes, in January 2015 she finally was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus...

    Running dishes through the dishwasher is perfectly safe . And they do not just splash dirty water around.
