Oh my gosh I love Walt Disney World! To me it is like a Celiac Paradise!! I just got back April 21 and never had a problem. They substitute everywhere! The portions always ended up being much larger than the regular-sized children's portion but we were never charged extra. If the cashier enters the meal as an adult meal, all you have to do is say it is a...

As the body heals and becomes healthy a tiny amount of gluten can cause a reaction that in the past may not have been experienced. The longer people are gluten free, the more small amounts of gluten can affect them. That is why cross-contamination is an issue.

I disagree completely about using separate pans! I use a separate strainer/colander, but not pots and pans. Washing them well after using them with foods with gluten is all that is needed. It is weird to see the responses saying to get different pans beause NO ONE in the support groups where I live recommend that. I do use different toasters for gluten-free...

I am astounded that happened at Chili's! I was told by a waiter that every Chili's has access to the gluten-free menu since it is computer-generated and all restaurants use the same computer. I have told many people to go there because I was giventhis information. I hope your experience was an isolated incident and not indicative of the way other Chili's...

You did not mention the name of the restaurant you went to, so I do not know whether or not it is a chain. It find it can be hard in chain restaurants, like Applebees, that serve mostly frozen/prepared food. That being said, I have never been unable to find something gluten-free! Granted the choices can be very limited, but there is always something available...

I did not remember reading how the wings you are referring to are prepared. If they are being fried, have you checked to make sure there is no cross-contamination with other products being fried in the oil? Or the oil itself? Another issue could be using frozen chicken wings as some have gluten containing broths injected into them. Just thought you may have...

Thank you. Part of the problem is the top crust coming off, and that was fine. However, this summer on every loaf of bread I bought the entire piece of bread crumbled! It is odd because we never had this problem before (with this brand). I never heard of gluten-free Breadbasket. My daughter loathes almost everything from EnerG though. Everything but the...

I like Burt's Bees lip products too, but haven't used the other products they make. Lame Advertisement has a complete gluten-free list on its website. Some people think the products are expensive, but I do not find them to cost more than other products bought in depatment stores. Plus if you become a consultant, for $30, you can purchase the products for...

Hi, I did a search and could not find anything on the board relating to this but cannot believe I am the only one with this problem! I have been buying Food for Life bread for years. My daughter likes the white rice bread. Until this past summer we had very little problem with it. However, since June or July of this year it has been crumbling and falling...

I really feel for you guys! I have never had a problem getting the food gluten-free. Sometimes all that is available is something plain, but usually that is not the case. Steak is always great, since I think it is best undoctored anyway. I have always found chefs to be very careful about cross-sontamination. They are usually the ones who bring it up first...

I have never been to that restaurant, but have found that chefs are very careful about cross-contamination. You have to do what you feel comfortable with. I think bringing your own food defeats the purpose and fun of going out to dinner though. If I am going out to eat I am certainly not doing any cooking. Why pay for something at a reastaurant you already...

I would join a lawsuit in a minute. I am not a suit-happy person. I am angered when I read about ridiculous lawsuits, but I do not think this would be one. It is awful that a company had questions about the food it produced and did not say anything about it. As to the person whi asked why a person would continue eating food she knew was making her sick,...

I love that restaurant. However, when my celiac daughter ordered right from their gluten-free menu, her food came with a roll. It was obviously sent back and we waited about half an hour for the fresh food to come out. I was already done with my food by the time my daughter's food came. She was so fed up she did not even want to eat.

It is very hard for children to be left out, but I think it is important for children with celiac disease to learn early on there will be times they will be. It does suck, you were right about that! I do not think it is right to expect other parents to go out of their way to accomodate different dietary needs. It is too time-consuming and unfair to ask someone...

Are you certain the frozen vegetables are gluten-free? Are they plain, or do they have a sauce, or butter added that might contain gluten? Is there a possibilty of cross contamination at school or in another location that you are not with her? or maybe at home? Kitchen sponges for instance, can hold gluten so it is best to use separate sponges for gluten...
