    I live in the Central Valley of California and so far the only place I have found the Snyder's Gluten-free Pretzels are at SaveMart, and even then it is sort of hit and miss, as not all the SaveMart's in the valley carry them. When I find one that does, we buy all that they have on the shelf! They are cheaper than other gluten-free pretzels we have tried...

    I have been doing research on Melatonin lately. My concern is the lack of information available about the effects of melatonin on individuals with auto-immune disorders. Sure it says it is not recommended, and that makes me worry about trying it. I have been experiencing a lot of peri-menopausal symptoms lately and sleep problems are a big issue for me...

    Thank you!

    I can't seem to find the actual amounts of each cup, but the total jar holds 48oz total. Judging by the photo and the different sizes of containers it looks like the largest one is about 16oz, then maybe 14, 12 and 6. But again these are just guesses. I can tell you for sure when they get here. Here is the link to the place I ordered from. The lowest...

    Hi Janet, I saw that one for $35 at the kitchen store, but also found it cheaper than that ($28) at TotalVac.com and they offered free shipping over $50, so I went ahead and ordered two from them. I was trying to find a site that would list the individual cup size. I will look around a bit more and post it is I do find it. I did read somewhere that...

    Has anyone tried the All-in-one food carrier? It is made by Thermos and has 4 smaller microwavable containers that stack on each other and fit inside the larger insulated jar. I am curious how well it works keeping hot food hot. I have a dire need to provide my 9 year old daughter with a hot, healthy gluten-free dinner two nights a week while she is out...

    Thanks Ken, we will check both places out.

    Thanks for posting about your experience on the Big Island. I am trying to finish packing right now! I have so much information that I feel very prepared. I don't think we will eat out much, since with a family of 5 it can get pricey and we are on somewhat of a budget. We are used to eating simply so cooking in the condo won't be an issue. My kids love...

    Thanks Ken. I will certainly email them ahead of time. I was reading an article about Celiac Disease in a Honolulu paper last night and they quoted you a lot. I really appreciate all that you are doing to spread the news about Celiac in Hawaii (and beyond!).

    I finally got the last two days pinned down with a place to stay. I was getting nervous we wouldn't have a place to sleep for Easter Sunday! We will be at the Hilton Waikoloa Beach Resort the whole time. After the first week we may not have a car for all of the time, so I have to have gotten enough shopping for food done before then, or else I have got...

    KEN, THANK YOU SO MUCH! God bless you! I feel so much more informed and able to handle feeding my family gluten-free food in Hawaii for nearly 2 weeks! I will definitely follow your suggestions and advice. I am sorry that we will miss you. I would have loved to try some of your wife's baked goods. I will print out all your great information! ...

    We are going to the Big Island next month (March 12-24,2008) and am wondering about restaurants/gluten-free shopping also. We are staying at the Hilton Waikoloa Village and have looked over most of the menus for their restaurants with great disappointment. I will definitely need to go to the Outback location! we have a timeshare, so I can cook most of...

    I got a computer generated email stating that they will get to my questions asap, but it could be up to a week! Hopefully it will be sooner than a week. I don't use their oils, and the way they word the information on the website makes me think it is only the oils and not the shortening, but we shall see what they say...
  15. gf4life
    Okay, so I was concerned about this since this is the only shortening that I use and since I need to be soy free, Crisco is out! So I checked their website and below is the information on the site. Since it did not address the shorteing (or coconut oil question) I emailed them about it. I hope they get back to me soon. I will post their reply.

    I am also curious about the spectrum CC issue. I use their shortening all the time when I bake and have never had any issues with it. I am also EXTREMELY sensitive and react very quickly to gluten.

    I can't help with the Wendy's question. We don't have a Wendy's where I live so I have never checked into their foods. As for McD's, you siad they fry their fries and hashbrowns in the same fryer, but do they fry anything else in that fryer? The nuggets would be an issue. We eat both the fries and hashbrowns at McD's (some people don't, but it is a...

    ARCHIVED Diagnosed Myself

    gf4life replied to Nanjkay's topic in Doctors

    For the Probiotics I used Jarro-Dophilus and Bifidus Balance+FOS both by Jarrow Formulas. They both say "Non-Dairy" and "Contains NO common allergens". I didn't have any problems with the4m and I need gluten, dairy and soy free also. Also I use Pioneer brand digestive enzymes. I like them the best.

    ARCHIVED Throwing Up?

    gf4life replied to Char's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    For some people this can be a common gluten reaction. My question for you is this, where was the cake made? It may have been that the recipe for the flourless cake was gluten free, but there was a lot of cross-contamination from where it was made.

    I spent the money on cones once, but had a hard time with the fact that half of them shipped to me broken! Then I bought some in a store and had the same problem. We are just fine with eating ice cream out of a bowl!

    Another vote for Tinkyada...we love all the different shapes, but especially teh ones with rice bran. None of the gluten-free pastas reheat well though. Just make enough for that meal. also I think the idea of cutting the cook time for the pasta, if you are going to cook it again in the oven, is a great idea. All gluten-free pastas turn to mush if overcooked...

    I get Living Without. It is cheaper if you subscribe to it rather than purchase in the stores. I've never heard of Gluten Free Living though until now. I also get Celiac.com's Scott-Free Newsletter. It has really good articles in it.

    An allergy is a immunoglobin E response in the body and the gluten intolerance/celiac is an immunoglobin A response. Sometimes the symptoms can be similar, but more often than not the allergy is more of a inflammation/breathing problems/skin reaction and the intolerance is more of a digestive reaction. It is possible to have digestive issues with a...

    Well the high 90's weather here in my neck of the woods turned into 107. Oh well. I am very glad that it is dry heat though...I've heard bad things about the humidity! I would love some rain though.
  25. gf4life
    Here in Central California it has cooled down today to the high 90's! It has been in the 100's and last week up to 110. I just about died two weekends ago when my AC went out on Friday night and the repair guy couldn't get the part until Monday AM! Thank God we have a pool in the backyard!
