ARCHIVED Need Help With Berry Berry Kix!
LRgirl replied to LRgirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks, mamaw! It turns out after eating it for week, I started getting sick. I wasn't glutened, but the high frutose corn syrup made me sick. For some reason, I can't tolerate it at all. I'd hoped that I would be able to eat it again because it's been a while since I had eaten HFCS. I guess I'll keep looking. -
ARCHIVED Need Help With Berry Berry Kix!
LRgirl replied to LRgirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi Hez, I talked to General Mills yesterday. He found two Giants near me in Maryland that sold it. If you call, maybe he can find some stores for you that carry the cereal. Here's the number I called:1-800-248-7310. I asked him why it was so hard to find. He said something about it being up to the food distributors. I went to one and found it right away... -
ARCHIVED Need Help With Berry Berry Kix!
LRgirl replied to LRgirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks, Hez! I'm going to call General Mills to see where I can get it. I'll at least get some kind of explanation as to why they don't make this cereal more available. I'll post the response. -
ARCHIVED Need Help With Berry Berry Kix!
LRgirl posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi, I'd like to buy Berry Berry Kix, but I can't find it. I see that Amazon has it. But, It's not the same newly designed box that appears on the General Mills website. So, I'm afraid to buy it and get the old recipe. Thank you so much! LRgirl -
Hi radgirl, This is so weird! I'm also allergic to egg whites. When I took an allergy test, egg whites only came up. Any amount of egg whites seem to set off the symptoms. In the past, I've tried to seperate the whites from the yokes. I'd even wipe off any residue from the yolk. But, I'd still have a reaction because you can't completely seperate the two...

ARCHIVED Hair Still Falling Out!
LRgirl replied to Babygirl6915's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi Babygirl6915, My hair came out in patches until the entire back of my head was almost bald. I have reactions to other foods (peanuts, rice, egg whites, dairy (lactose intolerant) I see that you have non-food allergies to grass, trees, mold and dust mites like me. You should try an air purifier to trap allergens, if you don't already have one. We also... -
Hi, I just wanted to mention a wonderful restaurant called the Great Sage. It's the only restaurant I trust. I've never gotten sick there. I'm not vegetarian, but they cater to food allergies. The food is so good! I get the southwestern burger, ceasar salad, and carrot cake. The carrot cake tastes so much like the real thing that I almost cried when...

ARCHIVED What Type Of Cooler Do You Use?
LRgirl replied to LRgirl's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Thank you all so much! The Flex Freeze cooler looks like the one I'll choose. -
Hi, I'm traveling to California soon. I'll need to bring some food because my diet is so strict. I've been looking at a few coolers, but I'm not sure what brand is the best. Can anyone recommend a cooler that is not too big, can be packed in a suitcase and carried around the park as well? Thanks so much, Traci

Hi, I put together a list of foods I was going to bring with me. During the tour, we make some out of the way stops. I wanted to be sure that I would have some food with me at all times. I have emailed the airline and are waiting to hear back from them. But, I was wondering what you guys thought of what I'm planning to bring. All of the stuff is homemade...

Hi, Anybody have any dried soup mix recipes ( the mixes that you add water to) that don't use beans or dairy (dried milk powder)? Recipes using potato flakes would be fine. Thanks for your help, Traci

ARCHIVED Alti Plano Gold Qunioa Cereal
LRgirl posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi, I'm interested in this cereal because it seems to cook fast from what I've read. I need something different for breakfast. I did not like the regular unflavored quinoa cereal. But, this company seems to have a lot of different flavors that may hopefully mask the strong quinoa taste. Are there any particular flavors worth trying? Thanks for your help... -

Hi, I am travelling to England/Scottland for eight days in May. This is my first time flying outside of the United States. I am flying from Dulles to Heathrow airport. I have found some restaurants that cater to multiple allergies, however I want to bring back up food to be safe. How much food and what types of food do those of you with strict diets bring...

I also can't have oysters and pinnapple. I haven't been on an airplane in a while.. Do they have a very strict policy on bringing your own food into Spain and Portugal?
-
Hi, I am going to Spain and Portugal soon. I have multiple food allergies, milk, rice, egg,peanuts, etc.. I think I should be ok if I stick to grilled meats and veggies. Does anyone have any organic grocery stores and vegan restaurants they could recommend? I'd also like to bring over some of my own food. What is the policy on bringing food onto a flight...

ARCHIVED Dari-free Milk
LRgirl posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi, I'm looking for another milk alternative. I use Almond breeze, but I have to add water to it. If I use to much, I get gastritis. Does Dari-free milk have rice in it? I am intolerant to rice. Thanks, Traci -

ARCHIVED Manna From Anna
LRgirl posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi everyone, I have been lurking for a while because of a horrible bout of gastritis. It was brought on by eating too much soy. I found this bread online yesterday, Manna from Anna. It's the only bread mix I could find that doesn't have rice!! I am so excited! I read your posts about how good it is. How long does it usually take to ship to your house... -
Hi, I have been strictly gluten-free with the exception of a couple of mistakes. There are times during the day when I feel off-balance and light-headed. I also experience fatigue, like I need to sleep longer. This is worse right before my period. Does anybody experience the same thing? Thanks, Tracy
-
Yeah, I think I can use egg substitute. The one I have works great with a variety of recipes. Thanks so much, Traci

Tuesday I went to Panera. I got the Morrocian soup and the classic cafe salad. Both are gluten-free and I eat there frequently. At the bottom of the cup, I saw pieces of pasta! In the salad, there was a huge cruton. I have had stomach pain, fatigue, and horrible gas. I guess whoever was completing my order by accident put some of the the Vegetarian soup in...
