    Good to have the info. I know there are quite a few places that are sensitive to people needing gluten free menus and products. I go to the Whole Foods Market when there is one in town, quite a good selection as well. I have a couple of friends in Orem that I haven't seen in almost 15 years and have already found a few restaurants to choose from there...

    Thanks!! I figure, I better cover my bases before heading over. I found a couple of places in Orem where two of my friends live, so we can have dinner there when I arrive. Thanks again, Ray

    I know it was mentioned before, but I cannot find it anywhere. Someone had mentioned a gluten free bakery in I believe it was the Sandy area of Salt Lake City. I am traveling back up to SLC on the 20th and would like to find some extra options since I have not been there since about 2007 and before I knew I could not eat gluten. Funny thing is that it...

    I've heard of the bakery in Sandy and plan to try it out in January when I go up to visit friends and family. The Betty Crocker cookies, brownies and cakes are great. In Salt Lake is one of The Original Pancake House restaurants. They have gluten free pancakes that ae fantastic. I always make corn tortilla quesadillas flat (2 tortillas) and cut like a...

    I don't cheat and really have now inclination to. Whenever I have had some gluten,,,,,,, it usually ends (I am epileptic, possible due to gluten) with me having multiple mild seizures over a day or two, mostly just one day. This keeps me from wanting to cheat and eat. I drive my kids to school on my way to work. The whole roundtrip is about 70-75 mailes...

    Here, I am cut & pasting from the other thread. This is the comment I made there. At our first Thanksgiving gluten free. My wife toasted some gluten free bread and we made a home made stuffing. Of course with the size of our family coming over, we usually have 2 turkeys and 1 ham. One turkey was "normal" (you have to remember as well, that...

    I didn't give up milk. I just had not really had a craving for it lately. I do go and get me some milk (I like whole vitamin D milk) when I went shopping for my wife. She likes to give the kids 1 or 2% and she has fat free milk. You all got to talking about milk, I took a quick break from my office and ran over to the Circle K and bought a little milk...

    My family and I went on the Disney Cruise line here in California. Now Disney is already good to Celiac or Gluten Sensitives. I informed the cruise line people when we made our final payment over the phone and also on the website itenerary. They were very helpfull and our waiter that stayed with us the whole trip insured that I got the gluten free breads...

    Well my wife and I had discussed this to an extent one time. She had told me of a lady she knew and that had a daughter that was celiac. The lady found that she could introduce some gluten products in a minimal amount and that her daughter was fine. My wife thought i should do that as well. I was very much against this and did not want to do it. I finally...

    For me it was a much easier switch to the gluten free lifestyle. It was either stop eating gluten or continue having seizure from epilepsy. I found that gluten ended up being a contributor to the problem. I have also found so many gluten free products now as well. The major grocery store chains here like Vons (Safeway in other areas), Ralphs, Stater Bros...

    I have a vegetarian mother-in-law. I give the same response to her in that she has a choice whether or not to eat gluten products or stay vegetarian or whatever. She can be a bit oblivious of what she is doing or saying at times. Most of the time for me is when there has been some good looking cinamon rolls, or cookies or something. She will be standing...

    Here in Temecula, Ca is All Of The Above. Great food and gluten, dairy, casien free foods. Either all at once or you can buy food that is one or the other. I got a great carrot cake there last time and I always get a delicious chicken salad sandwich, They even had some fantastic individual pineapple upside down cakes one time. The only problem for me...

    Our house is 95% gluten free. Except when I am gone on a business trip, then they go on a gluten free for all, lol. We all had grilled cheese sandwiches yesterday and we as usual broke out a pan for the wheat bread and a pan for my bread. After you get used to it, the whole famaily makes changes. When we go to family dinners or gathering, they all have...

    I started checking it out when suggested through somebody on epilepsyfoundation.org gave me links to information describing my epilepsy diagnosis with gluten sensitivity. My neuro couldn't read the paper that I printed out for him, but sent me in for a blood test. I went to my primary doctor and when he read the medical paper that I had shown my neuro,...

    For me, as I've stated before. I don't get most of the symptoms of others. My tell of gluten intake is to have seizures (I'm also epileptic). I've eaten the pepproni off a pizza and ended up having mild seizures for at least a day or if I'm lucky, overnight while in bed. So all in all, I believe that the gluten sensitivity is more pronounced after being...

    Well,, I have taken my family to France twice. To save up for another trip to France for fresh baugettes and all the others and a run to London for their gluteny foods would probably be worth it. By the way,,,,, those trips for a 2 week vacation ran me up to the 5 figures, so it takes A LOT of time to save up for it. A salami sandwhich with "butter" (I...

    I guess I had a nightmare about gluten the other night . I never really thought about it as a nightmare though. My wife and I were at a chinese restaurant and we had ordered food. I had "made sure" that they gluten free food and I had a meal. I don't quite remember the whole transaction, but my wife and I were starting to question the food after I was...

    I have been gluten free for just over a year now and believe that I have become more sensitive. I can't even eat a pepperoni off the top of a pizza anymore. I did last time and had a minor siezure in bed and I believe that it was from the pepperoni. Later, Ray

    I tell my neurologist every time. If there is not a significant episode, then they keep record of it for review or report it to the DMV if neccessary. I am fully aware of all implications with the DMV, they have record of the my disease on file. I already had to have my neuro file paperwork for me and the DMV had no issue. They went ahead and re-issued...

    There are so many things that I miss, like: Sourdough bread - toast and french toast style Croissants Baguettes Pizza Pasta But I really don't have an overwelming desire for it. As some have read about me, I have epilepsy and will have seizures from eating gluten product. While on my medications and being gluten free, I rarely...

    RacerX35 replied to MSOUPS's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I am a daily coffee drinker. I usually have about two cups in the morning and then I stop by Starbucks on my way home. It has never caused me any problems. Some of the baristas at the local Starbucks (plural) know me. Later, Ray

    The salami itself is always okay with me, but I thinnk that the sorrounding "powder" is flour or something similar.

    Thank you both for the concern, it is appreciated. As far as "active" seizures go. I no longer have continuous seizure activity. Believe me, I went almost three years not being able to drive due to seizure activity. I was having at least 6-8 seizures daily before I had my surgery . Since surgery and having gone gluten free for just over a year now...

    You know, some epileptic people are lucky enough to know what can cause their seizures. For me nowadays, I know that gluten is the main culprit. So last Saturday my nephew calls and asks if I want to join him on a "canyon run" on the mulholland highway in Los Angeles. I say sure because I have always loooooved driving and the more performance minded the...
