    Has anyone tried the Marie Morin Authentic Crème Brulee from Costco? Even though it doesn't contain any gluten containing ingredients, the company did state it is produced on equipment which also produces gluten containing products, but they stressed that they take measures to prevent cross contamination. Just wondering if anyone has tried it, and if ...

    I was diagnosed last Jan. with Celiac. Did really well with the diet until late Aug., and with the help of this forum, and a few wonderful people from here, found out I had salicylate sensitivity. Someone gave me a link to the site and I tried to follow the food guide for awhile, that is until Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm now trying to get back on track...

    ARCHIVED Tmj?

    I hadn't thought of it before. I have both. Diagnosed with TMJ around 15 yrs. ago. Diagnosed in January with Celiac.

    I just found this thread. Thanks so much for the recipes. Can't wait to try some of them. I do have one question-What is montina flour? What flours, if any, can I use as a substitute? Thanks again!
  5. ECUmom3
    Or maybe the soy.

    The Dr. seemed to know a lot about Celiac's and stated that many of his patients were on these supps. Assured me that they were gluten-free. I checked the ingredients list and didn't see anything that was suspect until just now. One of the supps. is Cape Aloe leaf (from South Africa), which after researching found that it is related to the American Aloe Vera...

    If this turns out to be my problem, is it most likely due to Leaky Gut? If so, will I be able to go back to eating these foods once my gut is healed? How long does that usually take? The Dr. has put me on supplements to help with the healing. Can I have gluten-free (Udi's or Rudi's) bread? I had been eating the new Udi's Millet and Chia bread, but looked...

    Thank you all. I will check into it.

    No. The D didn't happen until yesterday afternoon. Went to the Dr. on Tues. I know it's not food poisoning or I would be continuously sick and have severe stomach pains. No stomach pains since early Sat. morning, and the D is sporadic so I know it's something I'm eating that's not agreeing with me. I just have to figure out what it is. Thanks.

    I really need help understanding what's going on. I've been gluten-free for about 8 months now. My DH disappeared and so did my stomach problems, except I've noticed that I can get a stomach ache when I eat too many tomatoe products, onions, or spicy foods-That is until early Saturday morning. I had horrible stomach pains and finally vomitted. The night before...

    I just purchased both cookbooks by "Babycakes". The ones I've tried so far are really good; however ingredients are expensive but worth it!

    I switched to Bare Escentuals. It was just easier than trying to figure out which brands/products were gluten-free. Most of their make-up is gluten free, and it works best for my skin. If you go to their website and look under FAQ's you can find a list of their gluten free products. Hope this helps.

    To begin with, foundation and powder is applied near the mouth, therefore, I use gluten free make-up. Also, all these products have a high probability of getting on our hands and fingers and as such we can easily transfer the gluten containing make-up into our mouths accidentally. On top of all that, many of us have the rash (DH) caused by gluten (which includes...

    I used to be a Registered Nurse and I have only had the flu once- as a child. Due to my jobs, I had built up immunities, so never got sick as an adult (I'm now 50). Several years ago (pre-Celiac diagnosis) I went to work at a Health Department, which required that I get the flu vaccine. I didn't want it, but had no choice. I had always been taught that you...

    You can find their gluten free options at: Open Original Shared Link

    Dove Unscented. I tried the Thai Crystal, but had irritation.

    Here is the list of Restaurants in Hilton Head that either have a gluten free menu or have gluten free options. I'm not sure who you will be traveling with (adults, children), but I found that most all of the nicer restaurants with "real" chefs know and can accomodate a gluten free diner, but always check ahead. Here are the restaurants that we ate at...

    Hey Helen, Our family vacationed in Hilton Head last month. Will post a list of restaurants for you tomorrow. In regards to stores that carry gluten free items-We traveled by car, so I carried many of my own items from home because this was our first trip there since going gluten free. There is a Fresh Market, but I don't know what breads, ect. that...

    Thank you for your responses thus far. I greatly appreciate it! I'm sorry I didn't clarify that when we travel we prefer to eat at locally owned restaurants; places that we can't eat at while at home. Thanks!

    Our family will be in Charleston,SC (Historic District) for one day this month. The hotel has a refrigerator, but not a microwave. Does anyone know where I can find a safe gluten free breakfast (sit down restaurant) or maybe a bakery in Historic downtown Charleston? How about a good place to eat lunch? Thanks so much for your help.

    I'm so sorry that you had a bad experience. PF Chang's is my go to restaurant (however, I have only eaten at one location). If it were not for them I don't know what I would do. With that being said, it could be that your GI system is very sensitive to spicy foods. I know that is the case with me. I've been gluten-free for several months and still cannot...

    Our family will be traveling to Hilton Head next month. First time since being diagnosed with Celiac. Any suggestions on where to get a good (and safe) gluten free meal? I know that most of the upscale restaurants will accomodate, but we will be traveling with our 17 yr. old son who does not care for, or appreciate fine dining; so any suggestions will be...

    Thanks for the replies. I didn't think the shrimp would be a problem, but gluten can be found in odd places. I'll just prepare my own cocktail sauce and take it with me.

    I know this my be a dumb question, but I don't want to take any chances. My son is getting married this weekend. I've asked him to ask the caterer if any of the food is gluten free, but of course, he hasn't asked. They will have shrimp cocktail. I know the sauce may be questionable, but how about the shrimp? I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be...

    Thank you all for your replies. They have been very helpful. I went shopping yesterday to stock up on supplies. The hotel manager contacted us a few days ago and promised that we would have a microwave and refrig. What a blessing! My only problem now is my son and soon to be daugther-in-law keep inviting us to places and events set around eating. (Ex. bridesmaid...
