    Sorry your not feeling well, it's all in the washing hands again and again and again and dry with paper towels. I feed the dog, cat, fish tank and pond as well as making DH's sandwich (gluten bread)every morning. Cat treat as well as dog treats everyday 3 x's day. Wash, wash, wash. I must wash my hand 6 times for dh lunch alone. Our home is gluten-free...

    I have had Redbridge (drink it all the time), Greens (dark, heavy), New Grist (light almost lemony), Bard's (little heavy, bitter), Estrella Damm's Daura (medium light on the tongue taste of honey). You have to make sure it is Daura has 3ppm. Very rarely I find gluten-free beer out and when I do it's Redbridge.

    Dh is always looking for options for me and brought home a new cider, "Michelob Ultra Light Cider". Just tried the one and it's a little fruity and very light not too sweet. 12 oz serving 10g carb 6g of that is sugar. Don't know if that would work for you.

    Kraft is safe they dust the grated cheese with potato flour, some companies do not. Unfortunately we have became a label reading society. So long as I healthy and happy, I keep reading labels.

    I have not had Mexican food out, but I have made it many times @ home. I do not use prepackaged seasoning, I use the individual seasonings and make my own, same goes for the sauces and salsas. Watch prepackaged grated cheese, most are dusted with potato flour but you never know unless you read the label. As far as Italian goes, it took me many months...

    So DH and I are celebrating our 30th anniversary this summer. I was thinking Punta Cana, Aruba or another cruise (been on 9). I know the cruises are very safe food wise, not so sure about the other 2 and an all inclusive. Any suggestions, I have been to neither and this is our first big vacation being gluten-free. Just realized I'm 6 months free next...

    I was going to suggest contacting you as I've saved your post for our trip next year. Love this place.

    I have to pot and not use the earth do to Chlordane 50 yrs ago on the property. We've been lucky with the mild winter and the thyme, rosemary and oregano have wintered nicely and I've been using them all winter. Mint is up and growing. So the pots are: Thyme, lemon thyme Basil , Thai basil parsley sage chives rosemary oregano dill mint tomatoes...

    I never ever make breakfast, maybe a dozen times a year when the boyz are home. This pass Sunday our youngest was home from school, he goes. White Corn tortilla as the base covered w/ 2 sunny side eggs, surrounded the plate with black beans, pico de gallo, sheared lettuce, sliced tomato, fresh avocado, chipole aioli and roasted seasoned red potato. Fresh...

    Hey Lynxi, Don't fret about the pet food, you have enough to worry about yourself. My 4 legged best friend (dog) is on special food that happens to be gluten free. Not our choice but his stomachs, yes it it expensive but something we have to live with. I still wash my hands extensively after touching dog food, dog cookies, cat food, cat cookies, fish...

    I started using nutraMetrix several months ago (I get it from my GP). I can't compare the mg as my is measured in CFU. I have to tell you it has made a huge difference in my healing and everyday just feeling good. Your on the right track, I also use an Aloe drink each day as it helps with the digestive aspect of all the healing. I take Nexium each day...

    That's ok, Tom it was a small amount left and several months old. I usually use the Ancient Harvest Quinoa Pasta's so I'll just look for that brand of Quinoa which is on the safe list.

    Wonderful ideas Takala. You also could wait a week or so and go out when the restaurants are not so busy. With the weather getting warmer you might want to think about a picnic in a park with everyone BYO food. Congratulations and enjoy your celebration what ever you do.

    Thank you for that report. I just threw out my Quinoa it wasn't on the list of safe ones. Thanks again.

    I understand that the Maltodextrin is a food additive to watch for gluten. I would not eat it do to the dairy. But this is what I found about it a coupe of weeks ago. Maltodextrin can be enzymatically derived from any starch. In the US, this starch is usually corn; in Europe, it is commonly wheat. While wheat-derived maltodextrin may cause concern for...

    I had to check the conversion in $ first, we are pennies apart. I personally have never had a cleaning lady that's what god gave me my DH for. We both take it on and yes it's not perfect, as you know Love with my health issues. We did have a cleaning lady for my in-laws several times before they pasted and I couldn't do it anymore. Just like spring cleanup...

    Hey Mommy, I know it's not easy, getting a healthy 3 year old to eat is a huge task. Many years ago my one son would only eat mac and cheese the occasional chicken cutlet. Children's appetites change and so will his. All you can do now it stick to gluten-free. You don't have to make excuses (your saying) or beat yourself up, running a household...

    Even when healthy before gluten-free I've had problems with soda. I keep Coke in the house, I keep it warm and add ice cubes. I can't have it late at night and 1 out of 4 times I have bathroom issues within 10 - 15 minutes. I think for me it has something to do with the carbonation. Try ice tea or juice while your out next time. I also cannot drink orange...

    Well this past weekend was a huge learning experience. I did my research on restaurants before we left made phone calls and asked questions. I gotta say we had the best time. Spent 2 nights in a hotel and 1 night in a light house. I found a gluten free bakery in Middletown just 5 minutes outside Newport. OMG, this place had the best fresh bread, rolls...

    Hope your feeling better. I had an issue couple of weeks ago, first since going gluten-free. After 4 months gluten-free, I gluten myself over 7 days with a new medication. I had the nausea, pain, Big D and excessive itching (not hives). It took a good week for the itching to stop and stomach to feel better. Good luck and feel better.

    Thank you Babs, I googled it with no problem. Thanks again. It been 26 years since our last visit to Italy, I can't wait to show our boys around, sort of a graduation present to our youngest.

    Hubby and I are planning a 3 night getaway to Newport in 2 weeks. I have searched old boards for suggestions and found some new ones that offer gluten-free menu's. Does anyone have any new suggestions? Thanks all. Cathey

    So nice to hear of your stay and I will be keeping your suggestions handy. Sounds like you had a safe and awesome time. We plan on a 2013, 2 week vacation. Our youngest is graduating after 5 years of college. We're planning on a week in Rome and a week on the Amalfi Coast. I told the boys they can join us when they choose. I have looked into VRBO and...
