  1. Check out post #13 on this thread. It's not the exact mail-out or sheet from City Hall, but darned close. I believe Chef Chris's phone number or email is there as well. FWIW, when I called Chef Chris was on vacation and the chef who was covering for him had phone restrictions (?) and couldn't call me back (because I'm in Canada?) and he directed me to City...
  2. You've been pregnant for a week and you're already planning your hospital stay?! (I'm kidding. ) Last time I checked (it's been a while, though) Canada Dry, the Champagne of Ginger Ales was gluten-free.
  3. Happy Birthday!
  4. I buy my sorghum flour from the gluten-free bulk section of my HFS.
  5. Tostitos (made by Frito-Lay). I have seen Fritos only at Wal-mart. I'm not sure if you have a Wal-mart iin your town. I have never seen Mission brand in Canada. I haven't seen Que Pasa either, but Felidae's from Canada, I believe near Edmonton, and you're a bit north of Edmonton, so it's possible you can get them at Save-On Foods. We don't have a Save-On...
  6. Hi, Most recipes do require more than one type of flour for texture and taste. You cannot replace all-purpose flour with only one gluten free flour. Annalise Roberts has a good cookbook called "Gluten Free Baking Classics" (or Open Original Shared Link has some recipes also) but she requires a flour blend of brown rice flour, tapioca starch (same as tapioca...
  7. Thanks for the update. It sounds like Megan is doing great. Soon you won't be able to keep up with her!
  8. Ugh. That's maddening. At least they've admitted the mistake and will cover the costs. Too bad about the lengthy wait for results, though. I've been wondering about Tianna, is she getting any better?
  9. Oh my gosh that's terrible! What's the company? We don't buy chocolate often, but once in a while we'll get some from Purdy's. (Callebaut's a bit pricey.) I hope you feel better soon.
  10. I voted for Ty. Positive bloodwork and biopsy.
  11. Good luck. I'm sure the GI will have to agree there's no point to the biopsy since she's been on the diet for a while and clearly getting better.
  12. We went to Disneyland in December and had no problems at all. We didn't try to take a lot of food on to the park though. A container of pudding or an apple or something and simply pointed at my son and said that he was on a restricted diet and needed to have something handy in case of emergency. I took a printout from my local association and also picked...
  13. Good wishes and a speedy recovery Patti!
  14. Atta girl Lisa! Good luck at Foothills...barely a week to go! Other Lisa, I feel bad for your poor Auntie who has no shoes.
  15. I usually refer to myself as "29, but I have 11 years experience."
  16. Hi Lisa, Have your cousin call around "Motel Village" and see if she can find a decent, reasonably priced place for you to stay. It's probably about 2 -3 km to Foothills from there, but I have NO idea what the bus situation is like around there. Try googling Calgary Transit and see if you can find online maps or schedules. Good luck, I hope they figure...
  17. Elizabeth - good luck! I agree with sleeping down the hall - I imagine it wouldn't be for long. The waking up your husband and having him deal with the cat seems a bit passive aggressive, but on the other hand he's sleeping and you're not, so if you accidentally spray him instead of the cat... I don't get why he has a white noise machine AND ear...
  18. I don't have Clan Thomson, so I can't comment on that, just that I'm 90% sure someone on this forum said Duncan Hines icing is NOT gluten-free, and then Antoine who answered the phone, but other than saying it was not gluten-free, couldn't answer any of my questions. I guess, give them a call and see what answer you get...could be interesting. There's no...
  19. Sorry I can't help. My son was asymptomatic, and he may have accidentally had gluten a couple of months ago on his birthday. I didn't have time to make homemade icing (had a cupcake disaster and had to make a second batch) and we used Duncan Hines icing which according to the ingredient listing appeared gluten free, but now I hear from a lot of people that...
  20. If I sing, I sing very loudly to punish God for the voice He gave me.
  21. I'm working until 7:15pm and then heading home for a quiet night with the fellas. We'll probably watch a movie or something. Then I have to work the 4-midnight on New Year's Day.
  22. I bet I can guess. Shh!
  23. Okay, I found the thing I mentioned earlier. It says: Xanthan measures for regular recipe conversion For every cup of gluten free flour use: 1/2 tsp xanthan/guar gum for cakes and most cookies 1 tsp xanthan/guar gum for breads or pizza I have no idea where I found this info. Somewhere on the information highway. I haven't tried to convert recipes...
  24. The recipes I use always say to use x amount of flour (or flour mix) and then use y amount of xanthan. I know I saw something somewhere that said if it's cookies use this much xanthan, if it's cake use that much, if it's bread use that much, but I can't find it right now. Try a google search and I'll try to find it, but I'm pretty busy this week with the...
  25. Within the first six months, Ty went from 33 to 39lbs where he has remained for the last 8 months. He is 7 years old and weighs 39-40lbs. He is in about the 5th percentile on the growth chart. He has gotten taller, and other people mention that he has "filled out" and has more energy. We check labels diligently and have never knowingly given him gluten since...
