ARCHIVED Soy- And Gluten-Free Granola/breakfast Bars?
Menic replied to Kias4's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I recently found Kind granola bars. They're great. I think they're carried by Walgreens. Open Original Shared Link -
I thought there was concern about the wings being sauced in the same bowls that do the breaded boneless wings. I believe people have asked their servers before to use clean bowls with success. No personal experience though.

ARCHIVED Celiac: The Trendy Disease For Rich White People - Science 2.0
Menic replied to Scott Adams's topic in Publications & Publicity
No, I didn't read all the posts and responses. Anyone who blogs and responds that much is probably trolling pretty hard. Also noted that he's trying to promote a book elsewhere so he's probably just trying to get as many hits as possible. See the previous idiotic blog about coffee from a few months ago. I'm not sure where the author is seeing all these... -
ARCHIVED Celiac: The Trendy Disease For Rich White People - Science 2.0
Menic replied to Scott Adams's topic in Publications & Publicity
I think the author was trying to be really sarcastic here and it just kind of flew over most people's heads. I think his main point was that not all the people who are gluten-free need to be, and that it's an easy to claim as a self-diagnosis. Unfortunately the article wasn't written well enough to make that clear. He does claim that more people than... -

ARCHIVED Paleo Diet Vs The Gluten Free Lifestyle
Menic replied to lewiss's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Quite a few foods require some sort of reaction (usually heat) to become edible. Take meat, as an example, where cooking it not only kills off various bad microscopic things but also breaks down the meat at a more structural level. Since the discovery of fire as a cooking mechanism, people have evolved to rely on cooked animal proteins over eating them... -
Rice cakes with peanut butter is often my breakfast at work.

ARCHIVED Bill To Subsidize Gluten-Free Bread Passes Hurdle
Menic replied to BabsV's topic in Publications & Publicity
I'd have to agree that it shouldn't be subsidized. If someone needed gluten-free bread to stay healthy, then I could see that being a consideration, but the fact is that having gluten-free bread just isn't necessary. But as I'm not an Israeli, I'm not involved. Side note: The article says "as even a super-capitalistic country like the US has tax benefits... -
To quote psawyer from another discussion: "Contrast this with the joke of "gluten-free" pizza at Domino's--what a crock that is." Although I certainly have a negative view of how Domino's has handled itself, and I'm certainly not the only one, I would be hard pressed to call myself obsessive. I believe that the harm they've done by introducing that...

A statistically worthless survey. Three samples, out of thousands of stores, taken relatively soon after any new procedures were implemented. Sample a hundred pizzas a month for the next year, then get back to me.

Hey, I never said anything about vampires liking Asian fusion restaurants. That's ridiculous. I was referencing werewolves, and their love of beef chow mein is well documented.

ARCHIVED Gluten-Free In Chicago?
Menic replied to Zuhal's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Both the grocery chains Dominicks and Jewel have pretty good gluten-free sections, although it varies from store to store. If you're looking for something a little more fresh, check out Open Original Shared Link in Evanston. -
Um, I'm not sure what you guys are talking about, but could you please stay on topic. This post is about the hardships faced by those who have a garlic intolerance or sensitivity and are undead. There are no clear studies about the number of vampires that have garlic-related injuries each year. This area of the forums is for topics not related related...

I created a post which suddenly disappeared (topic 93031). If it was deleted, please message me with the reason so I can avoid it in the future. Thanks.

NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!! Warning! Domino's new "garlic-free" pizza crust has been deemed by experts to be unsafe for vampires. Several customers are already dead... (get it?)

ARCHIVED Gluten-free Glutton: Don't take advice from Miley Cyrus - Florida Times-Union
Menic replied to Scott Adams's topic in Publications & Publicity
Unfortunately, any kind of diet that makes a person pay attention to what they are eating can promote weight loss. I think a lot of people unnecessarily go gluten-free, stop eating donuts and cheeseburgers and bagels (even though you can get gluten-free versions of those anyways) and lose weight. You could probably invent a diet where people can't eat foods... -
Open Original Shared Link Celiac disease referred to as the "hot, trendy disease" by the host. /Facepalm And as general point of advice, I don't think any disease should be referred to as "hot and trendy".

ARCHIVED Is It Normal To Lose Weight When You First Go Gluten Free?
Menic replied to crissy82's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I lost about 25 lbs. Mostly due to more carefully monitoring what I was eating, and no beer. Amazing what happens when you stop eating fried foods, fast food, pastries, etc. -
Labeling aside, I can't imagine any experienced Celiacs being comfortable attempting to eat this. It's just red flags all over.
-
If they just said "No gluten ingredients, but made in a facility that (yada yada)" I think this would make most people happy. Not as happy as if their stuff actually was okay to have, but still.

ARCHIVED Just Thought I Would Introduce Myself.
Menic replied to TEDDYbear777's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I thought Celiac only limited from in-theater service with the military. -
Yeah, may want to keep posts like that in the funny forums. And speaking of weird information, why is it chiropractors are suddenly also nutritionists? That's like my podiatrist doing Lasik surgery on the side.

Ripped from the headlines! Celiacs suffering easily avoided! I've recently discovered, after consulting with many, many specialists in the field of fictalneurology, that many celiacs can have an adverse reaction to Pixie dust, in the same way that they would react to gluten. Pixie dust contains small amounts of atomic particles, some of the exact same...
