    Even if the drink you wanted to get was gluten-free, if they use gluten in ANY of their blender drinks you could have a cc problem. I used to work at a coffee house. We didn't clean our blenders in between drinks. We simply rinsed them quickly in the sink. I know Starbucks is the same from havign friends that worked there. The blenders are only taken...

    This is going to be a LONG list....In no particular order: I lost weight (still overweight and working on this though) my hair stopped falling out my hair is thicker, shinier and fuller and it's got a natural wave back (as opposed to being like straw while it was falling out) my nails stopped splitting and started growing again Debilitating...

    I'd pay money to see that. You let me know when you figure it out.

    Just send him to them AFTER they visit me please! The last thing I need is to be sick while moving or to have sick (and therefore twice as grumpy) IL's helping me move! Although, good luck trying to get them to take him in. We visited once while we were still dating and I came down with a bad cold---MIL caught it after we left and she told her son (My...

    Call and talk to the appointment taker. Explain that you are on the waiting list already but your really, really need to get in sooner. Ask if there is a certain time of day when you can call everyday and ask if there have been any cancelations. This worked for me last year when I had pneumonia but the ER dr said it might be something more serious based...

    You would need a pressure canner in order to safely can meats and anything with low acid. I have canned tomatoes and apple products (sauce, apple butter, apple pie filling, apple jelly) with a water bath method. Do buy the Ball canning book or see if you library has one you can check out for free. Be sure to read all the directions carefully before you...

    Yep, there's a big difference. I don't understand WHY they need to put gluten in some foods made in US but not Canada and vice versa. I see that your list has tomato soup. If I'm ever in Canada I might have to buy some tomato soup because I miss Campbell's tomato soup. Last summer I made my own tomato soup with roasted tomatoes fresh from my garden and...

    Wow! Is your GM related to my MIL? This is very similar to something I could see her doing. I call them "food pushers". They're not happy unless they make someone else eat something. It really doesn't make any sense to me at all. Even if you had no food restrictions you may not LIKE whatever she is pushing you to eat or you may be FULL or a million...

    Ditto this. I ate nothing but carrots and a few whole strawberries at a baby shower once and was sick later. Looking back I remembered the table had crackers, cookies, and cupcakes. I got my food before there were crumbs everywhere, but if the hostess put out the cookies and crackers before putting out the carrots she probably didn't think to wash her...

    Have you used this seasoning blend on other foods without any symptoms? Also were the ribs cooked on a grill formerly used for gluten foods?
  11. GlutenFreeManna
    Nice history. I had also thought perhaps it was a typo that became part of the vernacular. So dare I ask how a crutch tip got in the ho tub?
  12. GlutenFreeManna
    I can't see any dancing penguines. Maybe I need a drink of whatever y'all are drinking.
  13. GlutenFreeManna
    First, you MUST tell them you have been getting sick when you go there. I know you think this will crush them or offend them but it's worse if you never tell them. They may think this gluten thing is all in your head since they snuck a little in and you didn't die on the spot or complain of being sick later. Or they may just think a little doesn't hurt...

    Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love those fries. But thank you so much for posting. I had a mystery glutening (which I wasn't sure if it was glutening or somethign else) a few weeks ago. I checked my open bag of fries from BJ's and they no longer say gluten-free. They were the only pre-made ones I had found that were...

    Thank you for the brief history. I guess I will just nod and smile. I have no life but I'm too lazy to read it all.

    Well I didn't want to cook and I needed to get out of the house. So hubby and I had a date night. We packed a little picnic lunch of sandwiches on Rudi's and some salad and went to the beach. Picked up some chips and salsa on the way there because hubby was really hungry.

    Have you considered you could have Candida? That can cause bloating from any carbs at all. That is what I suspected when I originally did my elimination diet. I cut out all forms of carb--all grains, all sugar except very small amounts of honey, all dairy, all fruit, all nuts and even beans for a month. I was eating just plain meat and non-starchy veggies...

    I can't eat pork. My stomach hurts until I throw it back up. If I don't throw it up I have days of agony. The last couple times I ate it my throat felt like it was closing too so I stopped eating all pork (dr said it could be the start of a more serious allergy instea dof just intolerance). That said, you could have eaten something with gluten if it was...

    So was this a typo or does she really have a ho tub? I can't see princess Kate sitting in one though....
  20. GlutenFreeManna
    She makes it look so elegant! Happy Canada Day!

    No way, I could tolerate the IL's for 3 weeks! Actually I can barely stand my own parents that long. After a week I'm ready to leave or have them go home if they are visiting me. I always considered myself to have a good relationship with them too compared to most my friends relationships with their parents. I guess I'm a bad adult child. I love them...

    Edamame is whole soybeans in the shell. You can usually buy a microwavable freezer bag of them. You steam them and then remove the tough pod and eat the bean part. Another thing to try would be getting some soy flour and adding a little to a recipe you know you are fine with everything else. Or you could try 100% vegetable oil made with soybeans....

    Yeah, FFL is not a good company, IMO. I was really angry when I got sick from eating their brown rice tortillas TWICE int he same week. In addition to teh barely water thign they had a recall of their gluten-free products in Canada becaus ethe gluten-free products had gluten in them. I wrote them a letter when I got sick and never heard anything back....

    Sounds like your boys are related to my husband. Our fridge is always stocked with Mt Dew and Gatorade. Although we are currently only drinking the real sugar Mt Dew. Will they mind no high fructous corn syrup or should I buy the regular stuff to encourage extra bad behavior? To tell the truth, we really don't drink much. I will have wine or champagne...

    I have a few weeks! But I am avoiding making dinner. The boys can have BBQ chicken for lunch AND dinner if they come help load and unload the truck. And make sure they annoy my MIL by talking lots while eating! Oh that's another reason they can't stand me...at family dinners in their house no one talks! Seriously, every meal feels like a...
