    Limencello of all kinds should be gluten free. It's made of Lemon rinds, simple syrup (sugar and water) and vodka and Everclear (180 proof plain grain alcohol) The alcohol is safe for Celiacs because it is heated at a high enough temp. I make my own for fun but the type found in Italy and hear in the states is safe. Enjoy!

    All vodka is gluten free, no matter what kind of alcohol it is made from. The high temperatures grain alcohol is subjected to renders the gluten safe for celiacs. Vodka with flavors are usually safe as well. Drink and enjoy!

    I eat there all the time. I order a Budahs feast with white wine sauce and add in tofu. Make sure you repeat that you want white sauce, no soy sauce. You can order anything on their menu, just make it with white wine sauce and you are good to go. I also eat their won ton soup with no won tons in it. Very good!

    Today's Sunday ad section of my Orange County CA newspaper is a CVS drugstore ad for Redbridge Beer on sale for $5.99 a six pack. It's not the price that excites me. It's the fact that a large drugstore chain like CVS is now carrying best gluten-free beer around...Redbridge. everyone should go out and buy some today so we can show corporate that the brand...

    It is true about IHOP putting pancake batter in their omelets AND this fact IS NOT anywhere on their menus. You must ask for your omelet to be without batter.

    I visited Stockholm and sone small towns in Sweden for a week and it was fabulous! Seems everyone understands gluten free. I stayed in a small hotel. They brought out gluten-free bread from the freezer for me to eat. There were gluten-free crackers out at lunch and dinner made by WASA. They do not import them to the US which is too bad since they were great...

    Hi Everyone, I'll be in Massachusets and New Hampshire in June. I would like to stay away from chain restaurants if I can. Any ideas on where to eat Celiac Friendly? Thanks.

    I dissagree about eating at a buffett in LV. I've come to LV each year for CES in January. I've eaten off the buffet lines for breakfast and dinner for 26 years straight, 11 of them as a Celiac. I've been to the Flamingo Hilton, Mirage, Paris, Ceasars, Rio and never been ill. I choose my food carefully and have NEVER had an issue with CC. Eat away! enjoy...

    I went there last year and the prior year with a group of 9 friends. Sadly you will have to be careful with all of the restuarants in and around the park. Nobody speaks our language in Death Valley. Bring food with you, a cooler with snacks etc. Bathrooms are no problem until you leave the park. I was as careful as could be and still was badly glutened...

    Hi Everyone. This is an update on an earlier post. I did find my older brother in a heap, in pain and wanting it to end soon. There is no good news for him I'm afraid. After 2 weeks in hospital, he has a large tumor in his intestines, so large it is inoperable, also cancer has spread to liver, pancreas, bones and brain. Once cancer breaks through the intestinal...

    winki4 replied to pinkpei77's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I'll second the part about "you find out who your friends are". I'm truly humbled by the people I know that go out of their way to learn about and make something special just for me at dinners in their homes. A few days ago, a couple brought over lentil soup wih bread for everyone to enjoy before a film we were seeing. It was fantastick and completely gluten...

    Thank you everyone for your unending encouragement and support. When I was first diagnosed a Celiac, there was little gluten free food available off the shelf, no cookbooks, no internet help and I was on my own. Newbies have it really good these days. Again, thank you everyone. This forum helps even an "old timer" like me!

    As a 11 year gluten free Celiac that endured my entire family pooh poohing the idea of a gluten free diet or Celiac in general, I was shocked to get a call a few days ago from my 54 year old brother. He wanted to go to the hospital. Says he is dying and needs me to take him right away. I go over to his home a few minutes away and find him looking like a death...

    My two adult brothers (53 & 55)both have serious mental and physical issues, one being diagnosed as bi-polar. Both completely refuse to accept a Celiac disease diagnosis. I assumed it must not be "macho" to have a problem with food. It amazes me how they both choose to remain ill. I'm 11 years well now after spending 40 plus years sick all the time....

    ARCHIVED Eat Turkey

    winki4 replied to koch's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Thank goodness for this forum! It is a personal choice whether to eat a gluten stufffed bird, bring our own food or stay home. It is YOUR opinion to never eat a a gluten stuffed turkey. You are NOT a doctor or scientist and until a doctor or scientist posts on this subject (eating a gluten stuffed bird and cross contamination), let's not scare everyone into...

    The recipe for MAster White Cake in the Gluten Free Gourmet Makes Desert cook book holds its height quite well. I made it in a 9x13 pan and it was over 4 inches tall on the sides and over that in the center. If you want the recipe, repost and I will put it in for you.

    ARCHIVED Eat Turkey

    winki4 replied to koch's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I dissagree! Every one of us knows how sensitive we are to gluten or cross contamination. I'm gluten free for over 10 years now and eat turkey that's been stuffed without one reaction. I ask for the first few top slices off the bird and have never had a problem. The previous posts will scare the pants off of newbies. We should all be careful of course, but...

    YES!!!! I had itchy grainy eyes before my Celiac diagnosis along with large bumpy areas that got inflamed. That all went away now that I am gluten free. My opthamalogist tells me I have Terigia that is eased when I use sunglasses. So now I wear sunglasses with polarized lenses during sunny days religiously. I have no problems at all. Hope this helps.
