    Even though I've been gluten-free for several years, I have the occasional "Oh no, I never thought about _____!" moment. This time it's about my food steamer. Open Original Shared Link I have one of those plastic food steamers that has an extra steaming bowl for rice.I had it before going gluten-free and at one point cooked gluteny flavored rice in...

    Thought I would share! What I love about this is that it states at the beginning that they are clearly making fun of the fad diet, not the medical condition. Enjoy! Open Original Shared Link

    From my understanding, Trader Joe's is testing their gluten-free items now to comply with the FDA ruling. However, they have only tested a few products, which are listed on their website. Most of the ones they have tested are gluten-free baked products. They are working on testing more. But you can call their corporate number and ask if a certain product...

    I've been talking with a local ice cream company about their gluten free status. It all looks good in terms of their actual ice cream making process. They are very good about avoiding cross contamination. My last question was about their ice cream base. It's a vegan ice cream, so they make it from cashews. I asked them if the cashews themselves are free from...

    That is too funny. That is exactly what my cat does. She's so greedy. Once I opened her small food container, and she stuffed her face in it before I could do anything. She picked up half a dozen pieces, ran to the other room, dropped them, and then proceeded to swallow them whole one by one, lol.

    That's a nice thought too. Unfortunately she needs to be fed five times a day (otherwise she gets too excited, eats too fast, then throws up). My boyfriend and I do not live together yet. Our cat is staying at my place for a period of time while he is busy traveling. What I have done to minimize the dust problem is to transfer some of her food into a smaller...

    Thank you for the advice. I wish we could switch. She has been on three different diets. 1. Unhealthy mainstream cat food with lots of starches and fillers (this was before we adopted her). 2. A highly recommended diet of wet food only that has no grains/fillers. Very high in protein. 3. Her current diet of special medicated dry food containing gluten...

    My cat eats a special medicated food that unfortunately has gluten in it. I was my hands a lot - after feeding and before cooking anything. Wish she could go gluten-free. I laughed reading the earlier comments because I hold my breath when I feed her, lol.

    I use Red Apple Lipstick primarily. Channel has said that their lipsticks and glosses do not contain gluten. However, they give the disclaimer that they don't test for gluten and there is gluten in the facility, so they cannot guarantee anything. I haven't had a problem with their products, though.

    I wish I could give my kitty gluten-free food. She (like her mommy) has stomach issues, and she needs to be on a specific medicated brand that happens to contain gluten. I keep her food in the hall closet away from anything cooking related, and I wash my hands after each feeding. It would be so much easier if it was gluten-free. Sigh.

    I don't like it. What is a gender neutral candy? There are kids who will die if they accidentally eat a candy that has nuts in it. If you want candies that are 100% organic or do not have barbies or race cars plastered across the wrapper, go buy your own. And I'm not trying to say anything mean about anyone and their specific life choices or the way they...

    Oops, didn't realize I had commented on this post twice!

    I love topics like this. Especially love the gluten-free guitars. If there is music going into my ears it must be gluten free I was at a restaurant once, asking if a certain dish is gluten free. Says the waiter, "It should be gluten free. I've eaten it a bunch of times and have never tasted gluten." Says the voice inside my head, "Get me another waiter...

    I've never "broken down" because I feel like I eat like a queen on the gluten-free diet. I learned how to bake from scratch and now make my own pizza dough, bread, muffins, tarts, ect. In the past I did vaguely mull over the thought of eating a bit of gluten to test my reaction time, so that I could pinpoint future mistakes. But then I think that I could...

    It's one of those social situations where I might feel like, "Well, this kinda stinks, but whatever. Not the most important thing in the world." Kinda like when my boyfriend's friend has a birthday party and invites me, but knows there is nothing at the restaurant I can eat so I either have water or wine. Kinda sucks, but in the grand scheme of life it's...

    Thank you all so much for the suggestions! I'll see which ones the boyfriend is interested in going to. So helpful!

    Thanks kareng! I'll look into it. And yes, we are traveling around quite a lot this year. I feel like I'll have an easier time finding places in San Francisco. Grass Valley might be a little trickier... Also, kareng, any chance you could move this topic to the "Restaurants" board? I accidentally posted it in the wrong section and didn't want to make...

    Hi everyone! I'm taking a trip to see my boyfriend's family for Christmas. They are so sweet to me in terms of everything gluten free. This year, they would like to try to include me in a few restaurant plans but want to pick a place I can eat at. I've called a few places that they've heard had gluten free options, but many places seem to be catering...

    Haha I'm loving this thread. And I've definitely had mini meltdowns over dessert

    I'll echo what others are saying. When you haven't done 100% gluten free baking before, the best food related gift you can give them would probably be a certified gluten-free pre-made product. Or perhaps a gift card for a a certified company. I've had people try to cook for me in the past, and most of the time I just will not eat it. I'll thank them politely...

    Update: wanted to let you all know that I called the manufacturers of Minastrin to check that the ingredients haven't changed. They verified that the active pills are still gluten free

    So funny I had to share! Happy winter everybody

    I've been using some single spices (nutmeg, allspice, ect) from Badia. I know that their current official statement is that their single spices are definitely gluten free. However, I just realized that I had bought them five or six years ago (and who knows how long they were sitting on the grocery store shelf), so they don't have the official "gluten free...

    After emailing both the woman I spoke to and the company again, I finally got a response: Thank you for sending in your email and for your kind words. I am glad I was able to help you at the Gluten Free/Allergen Free Expo Sept 6 &7th. As to the Goya Low sodium canned beans, Look for these 7 low sodium canned beans with the following imprints on the...
