    Updated response from Nuvita as of Feb 2014... Contacted them via Facebook re: gluten-free status of hemp seeds. Received the following reply from one of their reps Megan Hunt, who has her own dietary restrictions. Appreciate their being so up front & honest.. please feel free to contact them via Facebook. "The issue with hemp is that it is naturally...

    Eating out takes some finesse & often is best to take something along if possible. Realize your son has definite likes & this is going to be part of your challenge. I realize he's likely honed in to various things due to texture, taste, temperature & other sensory "cues" that are comfortable for him. However, you want to make pizza at home for...

    Congrats to Sofo's Italian Market in Toledo, OH as they now carry Senza gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free & soy-free pizza crusts! Major upside is Senza crusts are made in a totally dedicated facility. Sofos buys them in bulk & repackages HOWEVER they take all precautions to avoid cross contamination issues! One of the Sofo managers told me via e...

    Red Robin is one of our "go to" places here in Toledo area. Both locations are great & I just ask for their food allergen menu when I enter. They bring one of their updated ones printed from online that covers all the major food allergens & what can be ordered. Asking for the specific menu from the hostess is my 1st step in letting them know I...

    Baked spaghetti squash smothered in slowly sauteed candy sweet onions, gypsy peppers & garlic. Had it last week & left us craving more. Just seemed perfect for a cold rainy week-end.

    Yes do give quinoa a try! There isn't tons of flavor to it but it picks up flavor of the other things plus adds texture. Just make sure to rinse it REALLY WELL before cooking to prevent a bitter taste after cooking. Also, don't forget dried fruit if you like it......craisins, raisins (dark, golden or mix the 2), apricots, dates, figs, etc. Doesn't take...

    Biaggi's in Perrysburg (NW Ohio)... located in Levis Commons shopping area. I'm gluten as well as dairy-free & their pizza is even delicious even with out the cheese! Biaggi's also gives you gluten-free bread & your own dipping oil. I'm not huge into pasta dishes but they have lovely selection & they have their gluten-free menu online. Have eaten...

    I am lucky that I can have beans as being ovo-vegetarian who can't have soy it's one of my sources of protein. I'd be totally vegan since I can't have dairy but need protein sources as can't digest meat anymore. Have to avoid goitrogens due to thyroid issues as well. Quinoa is good on salads & is a whole protein however for some reason I personally react...

    Cook up some dried beans.... mix several kinds for color/flavor & protein. Mushrooms of any kind. Baked squash cut in cubes... any variety you enjoy & again mix various kinds. Roasted together various veggies like beets, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, Brussel sprouts... whatever suits your fancy. Toasted pecans, cashews, almonds, pistachios...

    I apologize if I'm posting this on the wrong forum but really wasn't sure which one would be best. For anyone living in or traveling to Toledo, Ohio or even NW Ohio this site is awesome: Open Original Shared Link . I've found her restaurant reviews to be spot on, the blog is quite informative & recipes look interesting. They also have a page on Facebook...

    Have Hashimoto's so soy was out of my diet long before gluten. Several years later I found dairy gave me problems so dropped that. Then a number of years later gluten reared it's ugly head. So far I'm not noticing any other things causing issues...fingers crossed!
