I'll add to your excellent comments that as they are routinely grown, processed and packaged, most oats actually do end up with gluten in them, which makes them extra dangerous (unless certified gluten-free). But, yes, unfortunately, some things that don't even contain gluten can be problematic. -

Could Sourdough Bread Help Conquer Wheat Sensitivity?
joelmw commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Latest Research
Unless you're a medical professional and you subjected yourself to biopsy before and after eating sourdough bread (or can cite sound scientific data to support your claim), you're not in fact qualified to assert that sourdough bread "doesn't effect my condition". You can talk about your feelings and you can express your opinions (though you illustrate why...- 6 comments

I admit to being intrigued and think it is indeed a worthy topic of discussion. It would be nice to discover that there is a process that renders wheat bread truly safe for celiacs. As the links you included note, of course, there isn't. But I think you're giving the article too much credit (yes, arguably we should all know better than to be led astray...

I used to trust the staff at the Dallas West End location (and one of the owners was often around), ended up having some bad experiences, not to mention that they've gradually walked back their gluten-free options and disavowed assurances against cross-contamination. I wouldn't feel safe eating there anymore. While we still trusted the West End location...

One Dish Cuisine (restaurant in Ellicott City, Maryland)
joelmw replied to plumbago's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I was so saddened to see the news (on FB, as y'all have mentioned). All things considered, I think they're the best gluten-free restaurant I've ever visited and I love the fact that the location is so close to the Baltimore airport (which happens to be a destination for Southwest). I certainly hope someone continues the business and at least attempts... -

Good point on the CC. We unloaded stuff for similar reasons--questionable containers, double-dipping, etc. Crazy business this celiac.

ARCHIVED Mauna Loa Milk Chocolate Mountains Gluten-Free
joelmw posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
A coworker just returned from vacationing in Hawaii and brought back a box of Open Original Shared Link to share. Since I miss out on most of the other treats in the office, I was eager to find out if these are gluten-free. The woman I ended up talking to at Hershey customer service walked me through the process of verifying that they are. Just wanted to... -
There are fads and ignorance associated with most things everything: not just diet, but lifestyle, spirituality, other cultural and, um, human phenomena. That's just the way it is, people. I can appreciate the catharsis in ranting (I indulge every now and then myself, mostly about politics and horrid drivers, occasionally about food manufacturers and restaurants...

I just want to loudly second this. I was diagnosed with celiac disease almost exactly a year ago. Frankly, since I've been gluten-free, I am not sure when I specifically get "glutened" but I can tell you for sure that the cumulative impact of gluten was devastating--extreme fatigue, brain fog, cramps--and quantifiable. I showed marked improvement within...

ARCHIVED Tamolly's Texarkana (And Chilada's In Plano)
joelmw replied to joelmw's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
So here was the big ol' email I sent to them in the first place: -
We first checked out their restaurant in Open Original Shared Link and have been to one in Open Original Shared Link three or four times (when we're in Indy we pretty much always go there). Theirs may be my favorite gluten-free pizza. Talking to the staff I also get the impression that they take CC seriously. And compared to many other places that offer...

ARCHIVED Tamolly's Texarkana (And Chilada's In Plano)
joelmw posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Using the Find Me Gluten Free iPhone app, we discovered a regional chain called Open Original Shared Link as we were travelling through Arkansas into Texas to our residence (my wife refuses to consider Texas "home" ) in the DFW metroplex. They have a fairly new gluten-free menu and their staff has supposedly been "Open Original Shared Link." Our experience... -
"If you have to ask, you can't afford it." Nice. The only place I can recall that had prices on the gluten-free menu is P. F. Changs--and that's because it's incorporated into the "regular" menu. Kudos to them for both practices. The practice of omitting prices is illogical, annoying and somewhat puzzling, especially at restaurants where the...

We'll see about that title. But you'll likely retain it, just 'cause I tend to be intermittent and, yaknow, I've been repressed and all. ("Now we see the violence inherent in the system" etc. etc.) But [ahem] back to the topic. I was in Wal-Mart yesterday and verified the source of my confusion. When we were first checking them out, the Original sauce... -

That would be awesome. It's long past time. It's not really my thing, but I've often wished it were. I like to think I could do beat poet (like Mike Meyers in "So I Married an Axe Murderer") or some Shatneresque pale-man-speaking-words-over-music abomination. But I have a neglected blog. I won't advertise it, 'cause I just read that's uncool (which,...
