Yes! I saw this yesterday at my Costco (Northern VA -- Pentagon City). I bought two loaves, and couldn't believe my eyes because I didn't know they were making a larger loaf.

Well...if it were me I would say the apples. I cannot eat them without getting indigestion. ugh. Here's my story if any of it might help you figure it out. Diagnosed "probably celiac", based on blood work that was "suspicious". I didn't question her too much because by then I'd gone off gluten and felt 200% better. I didn't care to do the gluten...

Never mind food for meals...if you're staying in Alexandria you must check out The Happy Tart bakery. 2307A Mt. Vernon Ave., 571-244-3662. They make the BEST Nutella strudel (and Nutella/banana) -- flaky crust like I rarely see in gluten-free stuff. omg. Although they make a good chocolate cake also, I always request the strudels for my birthday now. My dh...

These kind of people annoy me because of what it might be "teaching" the servers in restaurants. If I go out and have a salad I ask to see the ingredients in the dressing. My friend who is gluten free "because I need to lose weight" (ugh) eats her croutons and whatever dressing she wants. But she's "gluten free" because she's given up pasta and bread. No...

This was, and still is to some extent, something I wondered about. I guess I don't come from a family that's tied up in food issues, because I can't imagine any one of them getting angry or hurt if I didn't eat something they'd prepared. I'm sorry for those of you who do have family (or friends) like this.

Yes to "most of them haven't a clue." lol. Or, not-lol. Like the woman who gave me all the ingredients of the chowder she brought to a church potluck. It was all basic -- potatoes, milk, etc. But since I've learned my lesson the hard way on this I persisted in questioning her and asked "and what about thickening, what did you use for that?" Oh flour, said...

Yes, I know the breakfast potatoes are gluten-free. I said that in my first post. That's what I had. But it was hash browns that showed up on her plate even after we stressed gluten free. The waitress agreed that they were NOT gluten free when I called her over. -- The last time I went there (maybe 6 months or so ago) they actually had onion rings listed...

Good thread. I was just thinking about these conversations the other day, when I had one of them on a message board I belong to. My favorites have already been mentioned here, but I'll just mention them again. 1. "My sister/cousin/whoever is coming for dinner and she's gluten free now. What can I cook?????!!!!!" or, a cousin to this question is "Oh I...

I posted about Eat 'n Park some time ago (they had something on their gluten free menu that wasn't gluten-free). So I went there again yesterday with my mother who is also gluten free. (I'm in Pittsburgh visiting her). She likes Eat 'n Park so even though I don't we went there because she wanted to. We looked on the gluten-free menu and it said omelets...

Yes Lisa (since you were quoting me, I'll answer) -- that's why I also said in my post that it's different for children.

But those "Vatican-approved" communion wafers are not gluten free, they're "low gluten". Which wouldn't be good enough for me. I suspect the OP isn't Catholic though since the Catholics have communion at every mass (unless the OP only goes to church once a month). Many mainline protestants (mine included, Presbyterian) only have it once a month. For the...

A medical alert bracelet isn't really supposed to be for people to "take notice", like in a restaurant or something like that. It's intended to be for emergencies, like someone is unconscious or disoriented. The emergency personnel (EMTs, etc.) can see the information on the bracelet and treat the person accordingly. For example, some people who are having...

These just appeared on the gluten free shelf in my grocery store. I've never seen them before. The company is WOW -- apparently that means "without wheat", lol. (although they aren't just "wheat free" they're gluten free). It says made on a dedicated gluten free facility. They're soft and chewy and lemony. And all the ingredients are things I can pronounce...

I'll be sure to ask my GI doc to teach me some Chinese philosophy next time I'm there. I'm sure he can do as good a job as this JMU professor.

Now this is really a coincidence! lol. I haven't been on these forums in awhile but I was thinking of coming to post and ask about going grain free, and here's your post. lol I recently gave up most grains kind of by accident. We were on vacation at a beach house and I always try to cook simple stuff while we're there. So I did linguini with clam sauce...
