I had the oddest thing happen this week and the only thing I can think that is in common is the Glade scented carpet powder. A little background, I'm pretty sensitive to things, if there is flour in the air it can trigger a reaction for me. Then I have my buddy Jack, who has 4 legs and came to me thru a rescue organization. He had been through several...

As far as the rice is concerned you have to know the type of vinegar they use with it. I've been glutened with just a rice bowl and sashimi, turns out they were using a vinegar made for sushi rice and it had some barley syrup as a sweetner.

We went to Chart house last night, specifically chose them because they had a gluten free menu. Open Original Shared Link So when we arrived I asked for the gluten free menu and was given it and it was obviously different from the regular one (different size and style so the server should have seen based on that alone). I ordered and explained that I...

I had am ah-ha moment this week and want to share & maybe learn more from others. Do I have low serotonin levels? In May I had a huge reaction to Synthroid that put me in bed for days and I haven't bounced back completely. I suspect it set off a reaction of some sort that totally messed with my absorption and hormone levels. Besides all the physical...

I've been on Armour since last September and was doing wonderfully on it (my other hormone levels had increased too just like my primary said). I stupidly decided because I was having all these hormone issues to go see an endocrinologist, which I did toward the end of last year. The endo did more testing and decided in April that I needed to be on synthetic...

Open Original Shared Link There was an article in the Colorado paper painting the restaurant as a victim in all of this, and perhaps to some extent they are, but on a blog someone mentioned two photos on the chef's FB page that showed a kitchen with a group of people and I believe one of the captions mentioned the restaurant or a timeline that led to that...

In contrast you have Ming Tsai, a chef with a child with food allergies who is active with education for food service in this area. I wonder how he feels about this debacle. He should be encouraged to speak out for better training and education.

Open Original Shared Link Well it looks like they got the message.

Thank you all, as a group we all have the power to help change this sort of behavior. Yesterday when I posted I was so upset and angry and felt like there was so little I could do to stop this guy from hurting anyone else. I haven't posted or blogged much in the last year, it has been a rough one for me. A string of gluten exposures triggered an awful...

From their website they make reference to the Glenwood Springs restaurant still being open in 2008. I only looked because I didn't want to implicate them if I was wrong. I'm just hoping if he is still working there that they will address it with him (I did contact them). Honestly I just posted because I was appalled that what I had suspected for a...

Opps your right, I missed that, but it probably would not hurt to let them know just so they can address it since who knows what sort of influence he had on what is done in that location now if he no longer works there. I'm probably a tad bit oversensitive since I was glutened on Saturday and am still suffering from the effects of it.

I had to do a few things this morning but came back and did a bit more googling. He appears to work for a restaurant called Beau Jo's in Glenwood Springs Colorado. If you look he is mentioned on this page, Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link They have a bunch of gluten-free items on their menu... Looks like a chain. I imagine they would...

I always wondered how much some chef's cared about making something safe for a celiac. I was talking to a friend this morning and she mentioned a facebook post from someone she knew and how he would give people asking for gluten free food regular pasta. I'm not normally so quick to post this but if you look at where he has worked you can see he has has...

I used to live near Hershey Pa and some of my friends had summer jobs at the factory and also at the Reese plant(OK this was a while ago). I can remember them saying how the company reclaimed chocolate if it didn't form correctly or when they cleaned machines, that the chocolate was too valuable to just trash. Now I don't know if they are still doing that...

Thanks, it's just hard. If she was hooked on narcotics no one would give me one iota of flack about trying to help her. I'm just going to go with an open mind and heart and try to make a difference, and well if it makes me nuts someone can just bail me out of the psych ward.
