    I'm not too sure I can answer your questions, but.... I'm not a big bread eater, but I'm currently in the mood for Rudi's Cinnamon Raisin Bread. That has gone quickly. All my bread lives in the freezer. My other breads, after a month or so in the freezer, get recycled into seasoned toast points or croutons (both again kept in the freezer.) Expiration...

    Imported items much comply as well. Yet, still that would make me feel uncomfortable.

Tomorrow, more company..grillin' out. Ingredients 1 cup salted dry roasted pistachio nuts, chopped 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 3 Tbsp. lemon juice 1 tsp....

    No, and Welcome! In the US, any ingredient containing wheat will be required to be disclosed. Modified Corn Starch is gluten free. No wheat involved. And any natural ingredient, if involved wheat, by law should be listed. If you don't see it, it's not in there. We have had and increase of members, who are ADDITIONALLY intolerant to corn, post...

    Boar's Head meats and cheeses are all gluten free (prepackaged), as well as many of their condiments....and pretty good too! cya: always read the ingredient listing.

    Sometimes it's a fine line we have to walk. Have you offered to share a dish that you consider safe, with others, at family gatherings? That's what I do. And there is no reason to leave your family dinner table. You don't always have to share what they eat, but share the gathering. I also don't think that others should conform to me. I, rather, try...

    Hello and Welcome! Recheck everything that can past her mouth, as in shampoo, vitamins and call the manufacturer for all meds she may need. Keep a food diary. Does she have a separate toaster? I don't have a Trader Joes's near me, but it it's just plain Balsamic Vinegar, it should be ok. And school? Is she tempted to share food/snacks/lunch...

    That sucks! I grab Hunt's off the shelf without even reading the label. I trust them, but this serves as a reminder for ME to always check and re-check labels. (When I do buy a different brand, I always do read the ingredients ) Hope you won't feel too badly.

    Cecelia's Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide and Triumph Gluten Free Shopping Guide, are published and updated annually. As mentioned, skills of reading labels is still a must, but the Grocery Guides can be helpful until he has gets the hang of things. Both can be ordered on line, or through the Gluten Free Mall here.

    Yes, they are except the Pretzel ones.

    Hi Mike and Welcome! I expect you're in the overload mode about now. But, it will be okay. You have found a great place here. Read, read and read some more. I would seek out, through your hospital a dietitian who can help you craft your menu. If they are no help, come back here. Stick to well cooked whole foods and no processed foods. Some gluten...

    I think you're asking that if you ate a full gluten diet, prior to your testing, would your results be more positive? Maybe, maybe not. But, that's not too important. Positive is Positive. Can you post the type of blood test your allergist recommended and your full results? You have mentioned that you feel better off gluten, that's a piece of the...

    YUM!

    It should be clear, that NO ONE with Celiac Disease should drink a beverage listed with Malt. Please excuse my error/lack of proofing before hitting the post tab.

    That sounds wonderful Patti!

    That's a fairly good rely. With that response, I use their products. I do use their products.

    Hum...let's see. You could buy corn tortillas and roll up what every you choose, ie. meat, cheese, cucumbers, avocado, hummus, pb&j, egg salad, tuna salad, etc. Make some chex mix and add some dried fruit and nuts. Carrots/fruit sticks with Jiff PB to go, cottage cheese and fruit, nuts and dried fruit are all good or make yourself a smoothie. Yoplait...

    This should be a great help: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Here is an example of a letter that can be used to communicate your child’s need to his/her school: Dear Sir or Madam: I was very pleased to find out that my son Jonathan is in your school this year. I wanted to inform you o...

    Since you already have a diagnosis for celiac by positive blood work, a biopsy might be a good thing anyway, in the least, a base line test. And there are other issue to look for with an endo exam, regardless of whether your biopsy is conclusive or not. With any history of digestive issues, I personally think it's a good idea.
  21. Lisa
    Since you have already been tested for Celiac - Positive. I would recommend a Full Metabolic Panel, while you wait for your biopsy. And as a note, do not go gluten free until you have your biopsy. Use this time to learn all you can as well as learn to read labels.

    ARCHIVED Olive Garden

    Lisa replied to bossley's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    To ease your mind,it's my understanding that the gluten free pasta and sauce is pre packaged in individual proportions and sent directly from the supplier. It's microwaved and placed on to the serving plates. The chance of cross contamination is minimal. I have eaten the pasta at Olive Garden many times, but I don't find it particularly good - a bit bland...
  23. Lisa
    Yup, but always read the label, as with any product.
  24. Lisa
    Are your children showing symptoms?
  25. Lisa
    Do you have family history of various illnesses? Do you or your spouse have digestive issues? I'm not sure how old your children are, but if possible, keep them on a full gluten diet until you see your GI.
