    I've been gluten free for a year and a half now, and the past few months I've been having problems again. They are similar to my gluten symptoms but different, too (no weight loss, no anxiety, etc.--just mainly GI issues). I know for a fact that I'm not getting gluten, and I don't eat out, so it's not that. So, I think it's other food intolerances, especially...

    I don't have a recipe (I love cinnamon buns!), but Kinnikinnick makes them, and they are quite good. I add Philly Cream Cheese and Brown Sugar blend on top, and yum! I'd love if anyone had a good recipe, though, to save money.

    I use Neutrogena moisturizers; most of them are gluten free, but read the label just in case. If you email Neutrogena, they will send you a list of the gluten-free products. I also recently contacted Nars cosmetics, which is a higher end cosmetics company, and all of their facial products (washes, moisturizers, etc.) are gluten free, including all of...

    My best friend was sick through the first 5 months of her pregnancy, and her doctor told her to take extra B-6 and B-12 vitamins each night, and it helped a lot (she ended up only getting sick when she didn't take the vitamins). I hope you begin to feel better soon!

    I was in college pre-gluten-free, but I have taught at a university for six years now, so I'm still around college life constantly. I would definitely get a fridge and microwave for your dorm room (I had both when I lived in the dorm). In my dorm, we had a kitchen we could share on each floor--will you dorm have one of those? If so, buy yourself some pots...

    Well that stinks. I used to eat them all the time because they were a filling snack. Thanks for letting us know.

    I'm also soy free, so it's been a bit of a bummer trying to find soy free, gluten-free chocolate. The only one I have found is Enjoy Life's chocolate chips. They are also dairy free. They are very good and taste just like the "real thing," but they are only in chocolate chips, but at least I can use them for baking. If you find soy free chocolate bars...

    I've been a religious user of Bare Escentuals because they've said that all their make-up is gluten free. Several of us have found this not to be the case (a couple of the mascaras and one new powder they have contains wheat). So I went searching for gluten-free make-up. I emailed NARS cosmetics, and here is their response: Hello, Thank you for your...

    I'm highly allergic to both cats and dogs. I got my dog about a year ago, and my allergies were bad for about 2 weeks with him. Then, I built up a tolerance, and now my allergies aren't bothered in the slightest by him. So, hopefully if you do have a reaction, you'll build up a tolerance quickly.

    A warning, though--I posted a few weeks ago that their newest mascara is NOT gluten free. I think it's called Big Tease. So, just be careful and make sure to read those labels just in case!

    Yep, they're fine. I believe that by law, in plain meat at least, any allergen must be listed (I think that's right). At any rate, Tyson will list any allergen. I use Tyson all the time with no problems. Enjoy!

    I use Pamela's mix to make biscuits a lot. I haven't had a "real" biscuit in ages, so I may have forgotten what they taste like, but I like this recipe a lot and make them quite often. 2 1/2 Cups Pamela's 3/4 Cup butter 2/3 Cup milk It makes about 7-8 biscuits, depending on how large you make them. I also flatten them a bit before baking them. ...

    Mouth sores are one of my glutening symptoms, and mine appear late--about a week after I've been glutened.

    I also lived in a shared house, so I just cover all my food with a paper towel when I microwave it, just in case, since we don't clean the microwave every day. Never had a problem.

    I loved the Cinnamon Crest Expressions, but it also gave me a red rash around my mouth. I've never had a problem with any other whitening toothpaste, so I think it's something in that particular kind. I never had a gluten-like reaction, though, so I think it's just some weird ingredient. Too bad, too, because I really liked them!

    ARCHIVED Las Vegas

    jmengert replied to EmilyLMT's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I just got back from Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. I am terrified of eating out, as I got horribly glutened the last time I did (at Outback with strict instructions), so I haven't eaten out in a year and a half. I had a fridge and a microwave and was fine for a week. I brought gluten-free english muffins and biscuits for breakfast (cereal would be easy...

    I haven't tried the bagels, but I've recently discovered Perky O's. I think they are great, and in my opinion, I think they are better than Cheerios. I really like both the apple cinnamon and frosted flavors. I wish I could find them BOGO!

    I'm not a child, but I, too, had chronic canker sores before going gluten free. Now I don't get them at all unless I get glutened. Hopefully, your son's will clear up, too.
  19. jmengert
    Thank you! That's good to hear--the pain is what is bothering me the most right now, and there's somewhere I have to be in a few hours, so that's good to hear that it helps with the cramping, too. Thanks again!

    I haven't taken anything for tummy troubles in over a year, so I'm hesitant to do so, but I'm desperate right now. So, is Immodium gluten free (the regular, tiny pills)? Thanks for any help anyone has!

    I have a simple recipe I use that other people have really liked, and I make it often for a quick side with dinner. I use Tinkyada's elbow or shell noodles, add a can of tuna fish (I use Whole Food's brand, as it's soy free), two hard boiled eggs, mayo (add enough for your own preference), salt, and pepper. Dill is also good in it, too. Very simple, yet...

    Hmmm...I eat those fries all the time, and I have never seen that warning before. I'm assuming it's because of the new label laws. That being said, I trust this company a lot. I eat the fries about once a week, and I have never had a problem with them. I will continue to eat them, too, even with the new label on them. Hopefully, you won't have a problem...

    I've used this brand for nearly two years now, and I have never gotten sick from CC from them, and it's the only brand of salad dressing I use because I'm also soy free, and most of their dressings are also soy free (and I eat a fair amount of it--I'm also super sensitive to gluten). So, I trust them a lot.

    Some (if not all) Neutrogena lipsticks are gluten free. If you do a search on this site for "Neutrogena" a list of all their gluten-free products will come up, as several people have posted lists in the past few months. Neutrogena is also great about getting right back to you, too, if you have a specific question about a product.

    Minute Rice is made by Kraft, who will clearly list any gluten ingredients. I eat Minute Rice occasionally and it is gluten free. Enjoy!
