    OG is extremely NOT helpful. I called their 800 customer service number and was told the following.. (in so many words)... "if you have allergies of any kind, we cannot guarantee or make any effort to ensure that you will not be contaminated or poisoned. OG is not the restauarnt for you. Sorry." So, that's that! I wouldn't eat ANYTHING at a place...

    There are several CFactories in 60 miles or so from our place and I've been able to eat at both, successfully! When I go in, before we sit down, I tell the host(ess) that I need to speak to the mgr. I have a celiac card made up ahead of time with what I can NOT eat, and when the Mgr comes to the table, I explain that I can't eat anything on this card...

    ARCHIVED Ruby Tuesdays

    I agree! I really lucked out here as the Mgr just started and was more than willing to help. Now, we also have a Chili's here. They have a corn tortilla appetizer with chicken and such. I asked the Mgr, the cook, and the waiter (him 4 times) about the ingredients. Was given the all-clear. So, like a boob, I ordered and ate it. We went to WMart right...

    Hi :-) Ener-G Foods make a great egg replacer, I think it's potato based rather than corn. You could make pancakes with a rice/potato/tapioca flour mix (3 parts white rice flour, 1 part potato starch - NOT flour - 1 part tapico starch, 1 part brown rice flour) and use the egg replacer and rice milk. I don't have my cookbook right by me offhand, but...

    hi Murda :-) If you don't mind driving outside DC, Fairfax (off 66) has 2 restaurants right next to each other...PFChangs and Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. PFC has a gluten-free menu and RCSH, as they are more upscale, are VERY willing to work with you to get a dish for you that is gluten-free. There are a few Outback Steak Houses sprinkled in the area....

    ARCHIVED Ruby Tuesdays

    webgyrl posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Hi! I wanted to let everyone know about Ruby Tuesdays. In our town, we don't have too many restaurants to choose from. I refuse to never eat out again...although I love to cook/bake, it's nice to be able to go out to eat. I realized that with the small offering of places to eat here, I would have to take action to make sure I could A. eat out again, and...

    I do so miss oatmeal. With raisins. And white sugar. And butter. Sigh. Before I was ever diagnosed with celiac disease, I knew I had issues with oatmeal. It made me sick to my stomach w/in 20 minutes of the first bite, and I would end up sick, bloated, drowsy and with what I called "big head." Basically feeling like my head was blown up, inflated...hard...

    Woo hoo! Hives! lol. I too get hives from everything under the sun, all over my body. I'll be on allegra for the remainder of my life. I went to the allergist and found out I have something called "dermatographism." (The name of this rare condition literally means to "write on the skin." When pressure is applied to the skin or the skin is scratched, raised...

    Another 100 pounder here! lol. I developed celiac disease when I was pregnant with my son 12 years ago. Gained 90 pounds in the last 90 days...whew. And that was with hardly eating anything! I never suffered from constipation...it was only ever diarrhea. From what I gather, I was severly malnourished at the time of my diagnosis and my body reacted by shutting...

    I use a lot of corn starch and potato starch for my baking, cooking, etc. P.starch is $$$$ in any store so I did some searching and found a company that sells it by 55 lb sacks for MUCH cheaper. Shipping is only $10-15 via UPS. I purchased mine from National Starch and Chemical Company, foodstarch.com. My distributor is Tracy Wisner in Baltimore, MD...

    Hi Sadies Mom :-) I've been gluten-free since Feb last year...it does get better! :-) I too suffered from sever anxiety as well as bipolar disorder. I was on medication for the anxiety and thought I'd end up having a stroke or a seizure from the worrying, anxiousness, stress, etc. When I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I also found out I was...

    I will attest to their being hormonal issues with celiac sufferers. I developed celiac disease when I was pregnant with my son (12 years old this May) and one of the symptoms/troubles I have had since then has been complete lack of monthly cycles. I thought I had devloped PCOS (runs in my family) or that my weight gain (celiac disease caused me to gain weight...
