  1. Taking NSAIDs could be what's upsetting your stomach. Can you try sticking to Tylenol?
  2. If it's gluten, I know in about 20 minutes. Something that just doesn't sit well in my sensitive, healing stomach/intestines usually takes a few hours for me to realize something's not quite right.
  3. Heck no! I'd eat every sandwich on crusty, squashy baguettes, and opt for croissants instead of toast for breakfast. The very idea makes me want to start baking. Yum.
  4. My mom has been great from the beginning. I told her over the phone one morning about a week before my birthday--"Mom, don't send me a cake! I can't eat wheat anymore!" I was so freaked out I was crying, which made her freak out...and then start researching. And guess what arrived on my doorstep a week later? A gluten-free birthday cake. That was a year ago...
  5. Newbee, I think the difference between having a dish for a vegetarian and having safe food for someone with a food intolerance or allergy is that a vegetarian isn't going to get sick if there's a mistake in the kitchen. Vegetarianism is a far easier restriction to cook for and understand sometimes than gluten-free. Like others have said, you have a choice...
  6. The gluten-free soy sauce I've had isn't nearly as good as I remember "normal" soy sauce being. If I didn't have to go gluten-free, I don't think I'd be happy with it. Also, not sure what PF Changs does to their tofu to make it not gluten-free, but none of their gluten-free dishes contain tofu (that I noticed on the menu, anyway), so if you see tofu on...
  7. Since going on a gluten-free diet, MSG does make me (briefly) ill. It also makes me eat half a bag of potato chips in about 5 minutes, so its probably a good thing I've cut it out...
  8. This is a post I can get into! Chicken breasts - bone-in for roasting and boneless for sauteeing Beef - stir-fry ready and ground gluten-free pasta Rudi's white bread White rice Potatoes. Love 'em. Chocolate - largely cocoa powder, good bars and chocolate chips for baking White rice flour - for baking! Greek yogurt for smoothies Fruit - OK, fudged...
  9. Last Saturday, I went with my family to Chevy's in Princeton. I googled it before we went to see if they had a gluten-free menu and low and behold, they did! You can find it here >> Open Original Shared Link Sometimes service at our Chevy's can be spotty and slow, and while I wouldn't call the service this time around speedy, it was very attentive...

    ARCHIVED Pei Wei

    I'm with ya! The one here in Baltimore is fantastic and a lifesaver when I'm craving sweet and sour chicken.
  11. I prefer Rudi's to Udi's but they're both pretty good. Just had French toast for dinner--first time in five months! Yum.
  12. I haven't checked any of the flavored ones, but I haven't had trouble with Blue Diamond roasted and salted almonds. Just check the label. Giant brand almonds, for example, have a warning on the label that says they might contain wheat (and a slew of other things).
  13. I make a mean grilled cheese sandwich in the toaster oven at work... I wouldn't suggest using one to make cookies. Tried that on a whim with my roommate. Very messy cleanup. If you're just cooking for one, though, I imagine it would be quite good for roasting veggies--potatoes, carrots, asparagus, zucchini, etc.--quickly, and doing small portions of frozen...
  14. Thanks, Takala, will do!
  15. I've been nibbling honey nut Chex (corn, I think, and labeled gluten free) for a few months now. Not quite honey nut Cheerios, but the closest I've found. Had 'em with cereal Saturday night and I felt like I was in heaven. The crunch! Yum!
  16. I've never even thought about trying white corn tortillas! I can't stand the yellow after switching over from flour. Thank you for the idea! I'll have to give them a try.
  17. I make chocolate chip banana bread and didn't have a problem using Bob's Red Mill gluten-free mix. With the chocolate and the bananas, you couldn't even taste it (thank God!), and my recipe usually comes out a little wet and sticky anyway, so a hint of dryness from the flour actually did it some good. Who would've thought?
  18. I have the weirdest craving for Goldfish. And sometimes I just really want a Famous Amos Choc. Chip Cookie. Flour tortillas. The option of eating normal French bread or going out for (shocker) a sandwich made on normal bread. And eating at any restaurant I want without worrying about a gluten-free menu or CC. But mostly the Goldfish
  19. If you want a seriously sinful cheesecake crust, try using Pamela's dark chocolate choc. chip cookies as the base. Totally to die for...if you're a chocolate lover, of course
  20. I'm joining in--I find this thread rather reassuring. Good to know I'm not the only one wondering where the heck this came from. I'm 23, graduated from college last May, got my first job this past September. New city, first apartment, first job (make that a super stressful job with a crazy boss) and a nervous stomach somehow landed me in serious pain for...
  21. Well, if you don't want to take a chance, check out this homemade peanut butter cup recipe from DesignSponge. I would replace the graham crackers with a gluten-free cracker or leave it out, but these look sooo scrumptious. Check it out >> http://www.designspongeonline.com/2011/02/small-measures-chocolate-peanut-butter-cups.html
  22. Is there anything you can swap out without even telling him, or having him notice? Like making a grilled cheese with gluten-free bread (I love love love Rudi's) instead of regular, or doing a pasta night with gluten-free pasta (I think quinoa pasta tastes exactly the same as Dreamfield's...). If he'll eat soup, he won't even notice that (white) rice noodles...
