ARCHIVED Campbells Soup And Swanson Broth Alerts
Newings replied to LDJofDenver's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
So I wanted to be sure that the Swanson 100% Natural Beef Broth I had in the cupboard (purchased before I went gluten free) was OK. It said it had no MSG, but nothing about Gluten. I was wary of the discussion about "yeast extract" so I called the "1-800 #" provided above. She was great, she took the UPC code and then let me know that this container of... -

ARCHIVED Glutened - Help! Can't Deal With It!
Newings replied to Miserable29's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I also got "glutened" at Applebees a few weeks ago. I went online and saw their "gluten free" menu and was excited! I ordered the santa fe chicken and while I suspect the chicken was fine, no one mentioned the rice on the plate. My guess is that had something "seasonings in it" UGH! I feel your pain. So, I have just od'd on water the next few days... -
ARCHIVED Trying New Things..
Newings replied to Stubborn red head's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I've started doing that too, when they bring out the gluten-free menu (if they have one) I initially thought of it as limiting, but now I've taken the same approach. Why not try something new! Tried Bourbon Chicken at LeeAnn Chin's yesterday and it was yummy (not quite 5-Star, but good nonetheless) -

My family moved to the Twin Cities about 4 years ago from Iowa and were so excited to hear about this, especially when we learned they were offering a gluten free crust. We went, I ate, no stomach issues BUT, ended up with an extreme allergic reaction which involved an Epi...

ARCHIVED Just Wondering Who's From Minnesota
Newings replied to linds's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I'm in the NW suburbs and work downtown. I've had great luck eating at Chipotle, LeeAnn Chin's, Jimmy Johns (Unwich) and Good to go. I know I need to get better at bringing my lunch, which I do frequently, but it is nice to know there are good places to walk to eat. I have lots of food allergies, so eating out is an eternal mindfield. -
ARCHIVED Is It Normal To Lose Weight When You First Go Gluten Free?
Newings replied to crissy82's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm totally new at this, started eating Gluten Free last October. But I have dropped 3 sizes. I have peanut allergies and am often fearful of processed foods, having had a reaction to a few gluten free mixes. So I typically just eat meat, veges, fruit and some rice pasta. I also notice that I'm not as hungry as I used to be, so I can eat less and feel... -
I had to respond, not only am I planning a visit today to the Downtown LeeAnn Chin's in Minneapolis, I was also diagnosed in October. Thanks for paving the way, can't wait!!
