    I had never heard of these before until I just read a review on a blog (which I can't remember the name of, sorry). Betty Lou's fruit bars. I bought cherry, but there were two other flavors also. I bought them from Amazon since I didn't feel like calling around or worse, driving around, all over the place looking. lol.. (love my Amazon Prime.) Anyway...

    I just had a nice cold Redbridge with my lunch. Tastes good to me. I'm not a big beer drinker but when I'm hot a nice cold beer does hit the spot. (I was out pulling weeds, raking, etc. since we have spring here in Northern VA.)

    Nature's Path Buckwheat Wildberry. SO much better than Van's, in my opinion. For me they have a better consistency and don't fall apart quite so easily.

    I order gluten-free oatmeal (the individual packets, instant, but I forget the brand) by the case -- six boxes per case. It's WAY cheaper than buying it in the store, and much more convenient since there are only two stores in my area that carry it, IF they have it in stock. I also order Chebe mixes and sometimes flour. I order from the place that begins...

    I also have gotten to the point where I'll just bring my own food to certain places. For example, I work in a hospital and the only thing I feel safe eating from their cafeteria are the hard boiled eggs and the packaged corn chips. So when we have lunch meetings or seminars and food is provided by the hospital catering I always bring my own. The first...

    I buy Amy's frozen. (not *Annie's* boxed). Amy's pizza is horrible (imo) but she knows how to do mac and cheese. lol. As someone said though, be careful not to accidentally buy the gluteny one -- the boxes look similar.

    Yes, as someone said, these are funny and sad. Some of my favorites are: - "Well just what *can* you eat anyway?" -- um...almost everything, just not wheat, barley, rye, or non gluten-free oats. -- "You can just taste this, right? It's small." -- "So-and-so [insert name of friend/cousin/woman from church] follows a gluten free diet and she...

    I use ordinary La Choy soy sauce. It's not marked "gluten free" but it has no gluten ingredients. I've never reacted to it.

    No, obviously this must be a different cookie since obviously I wouldn't be eating cookies that had the first ingredient as wheat, nor would I be reporting them on a celiac message board. Ingredients: corn flour, sunflower oil, sugar, corn starch, corn glucose and fructose, rice flour, soy flour, corn fibre, pea fibre, raising agents, sodium and ammonium...

    A new grocery store opened near me -- Giant, for those of you in Giant land -- and it has a large international food section, especially Hispanic since there are a lot of immigrants from Latin America in my area. I was just browsing and saw these cookies. They are fabulous! They're very similar to shortbread. Wonderful with tea. And I think they'd be...

    I just looked on line -- it said they opened at the end of January! omg omg omg !!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to try their baguettes! {faint} You have made my day!

    Look on that website that begins with an "A" that I think we're not allowed to mention here. They sell a pack of 24 single-serving packets of Nutella. I used my zip lock bag to carry my peanut butter and nutella. I never carry on much in the way of cosmetic things, so all I had was a tiny tube of toothpaste, a small tube of vaseline for dry lips, and...

    Gasp! With Nutella? omg... You do realize that I'm waaaaaaaaaaay over the 49 points, don't you?
  14. Monklady123
    Oh good! I forgot all about the healthy parts!
  15. Monklady123
    Lol... so, if two slices of regular bread is 4 points then how many points is half a loaf, with each piece slathered in cream cheese?? oy.
  16. Monklady123
    My Target has started carrying Udi's cinnamon raisin bread, the first store I've found it in. And there is a big problem with this bread! The BIG PROBLEM is that it is SO good and I'm eating it too much! I just ate practically half a loaf, with cream cheese. First of all, I am supposed to be on Weight Watchers. I don't even want to know how many points...

    I have decided not to stress about it too much. I definitely have my own colander since it's practically impossible to get a metal colander completely clean. Mine is pink. We use a toaster oven so there isn't the same worry about crumbs as there would be in a regular toaster. I put my toast on a piece of foil just in case, but I don't worry about it...

    I haven't read the other responses yet, but funny enough I just got off the phone with the chef of a new restaurant near me. Some of us from church want to have a dinner meeting there and since I didn't see a gluten-free menu online I called them. The person who answered the phone transferred me immediately to the chef, saying "oh yes, we're very careful...
  19. Monklady123
    Lol! How about that, a reply from Eat 'n Park themselves! Well in fact, I'm back in Pittsburgh right now so maybe my mom and I will go to eat there tomorrow. It was the Eat 'n Park down at the Waterfront in Homestead. I just might try that bun, although even before celiac I often didn't eat the whole bun because it was just too big. hmm... maybe I'll...

    I realize that this is an old thread that was brought to the top, but I've still enjoyed -- in a perverse sort of way -- reading it. I can understand the ordinary person who doesn't know what gluten is. However, I'm not quite as forgiving when I've said "wheat" and they then try to give me bread. Also, anyone working in the food service industry,...

    First of all I would use the word "allergy" when you talk to them. No "celiac" and no "intolerance" -- full-blown "allergy." People understand that more. But that said, I would still bring my food with me. If you're only going for three days you could fill your checked bag with lots of goodies, and put some clothes in your carry-on. I would bring...

    It's Trader Joe's own brand. I'd never noticed them before at my old TJ's, but we've just had a new one open nearer to my house and it's much bigger so they can carry more. So I don't know if these are new to TJ's or just new to me because now we have a bigger store.

    So I posted in the thread that's still here on page one (I think) about those Trader Joe's crispy chocolate chip cookies. They are fabulous! However...the first day I had them I ate four. {blush} The next morning I woke up with that gluten headache, and then later in the morning I had a few intestinal "issues". However, I had also had a glass of red wine...

    I prefer the Glutino also. The Schars are too crumbly -- if you try to spread anything on them they disintegrate. I think they'd be good if you need crumbs for anything though. The Crunchmaster are also good, but I like those plain. If it's cheese and crackers that I want then I go with Glutino.
