My husband and I are spending two weeks traveling from NY to Nova Scotia and we are hoping to find gluten free places to eat out, (we found a B& that says they will accommodate gluten-free so we're excited about that, but anyone have ideas for restaurants?

Thanks!

Nicole

gluten free since 2005

started dealing with the gluten in 1996

No ideas about restaurants...but lobster, lobster, lobsters. Enjoy you trip.

Deb, if you google it...it should show up something. Or isn't there a Med.com?

JUST WANTED TO LET ALL KNOW

I WENT TO BUY THE NEUTROGENA DAILY T/GEL SHAMPOO AND IT IS

NOT gluten-free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

SOMEBODY AT NEUTROGENA GOOFED.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is the offending ingredient?

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering if anyone sees any hidden gluten that I wasn't aware of in the lunch I ate, which is

Deviled eggs...made with egg, salad dressing (Great Value), mustard, olive

carrots and broccoli in margarine and onion powder

cheese

frozen strawberries with sugar

Dr. Pepper (of course-my true love)

Any advice would be appreciated sooo much...I'm trying sooo hard to get the gluten out as fast as I can cause I'm so sick of the brain fog. I was doing so well this morning til I ate lunch!

Nothing jumps out, but perhaps some cross contamination from the mayo or mustard. I assume that you prepared the deviled eggs at home. Anyother non celiac in the house, that double dips?

I have found that the longer I am gluten free, the longer it takes for me to react. If I get glutened it normally takes about 22 hours to notice a problem. So, perhaps it may be from a previous meal or snack.

Mango always has such wonderful ideas. Rice pudding with vanilla soy milk sounds like it would be great.

WOW...Way to go Chris!!!

I've had flu like symptoms (gas pains, diareah, fatigue, dehydration) for the last few months. My doctor checked a few things and sent me to a specialist who checked a few more. I started avoiding gluten on my own when the doctor told me that was the next set of tests (the doctor said it wouldn't affect the tests). The most recent results were a blood test for the antibodies associated with Celiac's that came back positive. The doctor then did an endoscopy with biopsy that came back negative (showing no signs of degradation). The doctor said he couldn't get very far down in my small intestine to take the sample. He wanted to do a pill capsule endoscopy to take pictures all the way down and look for flattened cilia but my insurance refuses to pay.

I'm pretty sure it's Celiac's Disease as I've had stomach problems for years all centered around stressful situations with the exception of this last one. I've even had my gal bladder removed due to massive stones and major burning stomach attacks. I've been great for the last four years after that operation but horrible for the last three months. I started feeling better within a week of stopping eating bread and crackers along with the rest of my BRAT diet (Bananas rice applesauce and toast). The only awful time since came right after inadvertently tasting oatmeal cookie dough i was making for my kids. I felt awful for a day and then recovered and was back to fairly normal within a week. So which test do I believe? The bloodwork, the Endescopy, my own results from removing gluten from my diet? Should I fight the insurance on the pill capsule thing or just leave myself not "Officially Diagnosed"? Will the insurance refuse to cover the dietitian too because the test results are opposites?

I don't have a family history of it but my mom and her mom have always had stomach problems. Supposedly my Great Great Grandma on that side was only able to eat meat, vegetables, and rice or she had stomach problems. I'm sure they couldn't diagnose it back then ; D What do I do? Should I worry about my kids?

I will try to reply. My hardrive it trying to blow up at the moment,..

To make this simple, with a possitive blood test, YOU HAVE CELIAC. No ifs about it. There is not need for further testing. Dietary funds are not needed with these good folks. You can get all of your answers here.

Welcome to the Club.

On the Gluten Free Diet, the BRAT diet consists of Banana, Rice, Apple Sauce and TEA.

is it just a dairy thing or is there actually gluten in the butter??? ive had it before and not been sick..ive read in a few posts that butter is not safe,what gives???

Butter in itself is not a gluten issue, unless seasoned. It may be a dairy issue.

Hey Girl,

Hope you have a wonderful day. Happy Birthday to you.

Jenny, I agree, the banana should have been place else where.!!!!

But glad that it is over and time to recover. I do hope that you both feel better soon.

Welcome to the Board! I have a daughter who lives in Wilmington, NC. They are surfers and always look forward to the big waves. Hurricane season brings us some anxiety. Let's hope all it does it bring good curls, not damage.

Got any grilling secrets, pass them alone.

In the US, most is made from corn. The corn based MFS is safe to consume.

If you have any questions or concerns or hesitations, call the manufacturer...

It's okay to come out Chris, the interlopers are gone.

QUESTION

I have read that I shouldn't trust things that say Modified Food Starch? and then some are listed as modified food starch (no capital letters). Can anyone explain what I should avoid???

Thanks!

Krista

Modified Food Starch in the US is generally derived from corn.

Jessie:

You do have an option of going gluten free immediately. If you do not see results, then you can do further testing. Your endoscopy and biopsy were positive, that is a confirmation of celiac.

Welcome to the Club.

Cute! Today must have been your lucky day. Bet his mom was nearby with her butt in the ready position.

You daughter will be fine. The airlines will never leave her unattended. On arriving in Orlando, all the other people on the plane will depart, and she will remain in her seat. Then a flight attendent will excort her off the plane and he father will be there and show identification. The airlines take unattended children very seriously.

Walter:

School is out and you most likely have some time on your hands. What are you hobbies, what do you do in the summer times?

Sometimes it's hard to dig yourself out of a hole, and I know I have been there. When I was in my early 20's, I lost both my parents. I lived near Washington DC. I worked on Capitol Hill, and did not give a $hit about anything. I was alone. I wallowed a bit....but then got tired of it.

You may have some chemical issues and that should be addresses. The mental issues, you have to look toward tomorrow. There is a world out there! You have alot of friends (birthday party)!

Look forward to what's next.

Wow, good for you. It is all too easy to get lost in the system. While you wait, read up here, and hope we here back from your tests.

I make another that's similar:

We have a big Super Bowl Party and I serve it with a salad and cornbread. Kinda heavy for summer, but good.

BTW: It's called "Blazing Saddle Stew"!!! Anyone old enought to remember?

Beans beans the musical fruit........the more you eat........Ok I'll stop

Well, once again leave it up to my wonderful spelling. Hey, we have two cats that like to sit on the back of the sofa.....no innocence there!! Is there beano for cats???

WOW Jessica....you might need to get some BEANO! Sounds good for a crowd. Sounds good.
