Baskin Robbins at least in my area usually carries 3 dairy free flavors depending on the season: daiquiri ice, tropical ice, and lemon sorbet. Sherbets unfortunately do contain dairy (as does gelato) - you'll want to look for the designation sorbet/sorbetto at ice cream places in order to find something dairy free. Also, if you're looking at drinks at Baskin...

I actually love both the cake and brownie mixes with applesauce instead of butter. The cakes seem a bit more moist and the brownies are a little more fudgy, so depending on how you like them, applesauce can be an excellent substitute. Unfortunatly cookies don't turn out so well without added fat, but I often use light stick margarine (I use blue bonnet...

Trader Joes also sells almond meal that is pretty cheap. A quick spin in the food processor makes a nice flour without too much trouble, and it is a lot cheaper than Bob's Red mill and some of the others. Making it from whole almonds is cheaper too, but I sometimes have trouble with it staying partly in large pieces with other parts turning into almond...

Before I moved into an apartment on campus, I did a lot of cooking in my room and the common area microwave (obviously make sure to keep everything covered for that option). Some of the easiest meal base options for me were the thai kitchen noodle carts/rice noodles bowls, etc. They don't require refrigeration, come in a bunch of varieties so you don't...

With all pharmaceuticals, the best thing to do is ask your pharmacist to check. They can provide you with a list of the ingredients since they probably won't know what to look for and call the manufacturer if necessary. Also, make sure to let them know you have Celiac and they need to clean their tray and spatula. I wish I could just tell you if the medication...

I second the need to visit Jungle Jims. It's a really cool store, but be sure to pick up a map to help you find everything. They have an extensive gluten free section, but there are lots of gluten free items in the international section as well. I was thrilled to find they carried a gluten free oyster sauce in the asian section the last time I visited...

The booster vaccine is the Tdap vaccine. It is similar to the Dtap, but it is a formulation with lower doses of the diphtheria and pertussis antigens. I only know of two varieties of the booster being manufactured at this time. Glaxosmithkline makes Boostrix and Sanofi Pasteur makes Adacel. Both are gluten free. The ingredients for Adacel are: tetanus...

In case any of you used to love Stubb's sauces and marinades like I did, as of July 1st, 2010, all Stubb's barbeque rubs, sauces, and marinades have been certified gluten free. I picked up some of the chicken marinade and the original sauce the other day and they both taste exactly like I remembered. In addition to the substitution of wheat free soy sauce...

I saw this too. I was very disappointed in what could have been a great opportunity to raise awareness. The chef claimed to be very into cooking gluten free and trying to show that allergen-friendly cooking could be delicious, yet at the first opportunity, she used gluten, making it appear as though it is impossible or at least difficult to prepare a high...
