    Some people develop reactions to nightshades. I believe mushrooms are nightshades - could this be it? Do you notice this when you eat mushrooms?
  2. Nikki2777
    Hah! That's the first I've heard that some people think exercise is the cause behind Celiac - If that were true, there would have been NO POSSIBLE WAY that I would have gotten it! (Hangs head in shame at my lack of exercise ;-( )

    I can't say that I've mastered this in the 9 months or so since my diagnosis, but for the most part, Celiac is just a thing that I have to deal with. I'm a lot older than you, and I imagine that if I had another 50 - 60 years ahead of me to feel like I'm ALWAYS going to have to deal with this, it might get me extra down. But, what helps me are a few...

    Can't swear it's safe, but I eat the dark chocolate ones all the time.

    Thanks - I couldn't get any answer on the prep, so while I trusted the turkey, I didn't know what might have been done to prepare it. Ended up eating Udi's (or was it Rudi's) gluten-free stuffing, some broccoli I made myself and an Artisan Bistro frozen turkey meal! it was fine. One thing I've learned through the last 9 months since my dx is it's not really...

    Just found out this is what my family ordered and is cooking today -- I haven't been able to reach anyone at Fairways (not surprising) and can't find anything on their websites. Thought I'd send it out to my cloud friends and see if anyone knows - it's the UWS Fairways, if it matters. It looks like it's just salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme, but I can...

    Could also be the beans in the chips. Probably a lot of beans!

    ....with quinoa? I bought this in Costco yesterday, but my husband threw out the little cardboard sleeve that held the two containers together, and which must have had the ingredients listing on it (and, I think, it said Gluten Free). I just went to confirm the safety of the soup before heating it up, and there's no information on the individual containers...

    He does sound rude! But I confess, I'm confused - isn't the rice safe there? I thought the only thing with Gluten were the tortillas. Or did you mean that he didn't change his gloves before starting to dish out your order? Yes, that would have teed me off.

    I haven't been to France since my diagnosis, but I think you will have an easy time there as there is so much fresh, unprocessed food available at markets, etc. I think on the travel board I read about a few all gluten-free restaurants or bakeries but those were in Paris. You'll cook a lot at home, eat fresh, and drink wine and eat cheese and grapes when...

    I agree with calling ahead. I've had very good luck with this. Sometimes for business meals, if I don't feel like derailing the agenda with a discussion of celiac, I'll even arrange with the manager that I'm going to order "X", but don't want to have to talk about it, can you please make sure that the cross contamination precautions are taken (and discuss...
  12. Nikki2777
    How do you pronounce it? I've never had a problem from Indian food, but who knows.
  13. Nikki2777
    That's a tough one - there's 4, maybe 5 issues going on at once: 1 Potential Cross-Contamination 2 General disrespect for your Celiac 3 Delayed reimbursement 4 Resentment at still being the one who picks up the bagels, 2 years in. 5 Resentment at being asked to pick up something you can't eat (kind of goes with #2, IMO) I'd work on solving the ones...
  14. Nikki2777
    Wait - Doritos are 'safe' (albeit come with a potential CYA cross contamination warning)? I've never even bothered to look.... this could be a bad thing :-)

    Sometimes, it's a crap shoot. I got bitten in a small "vegan/G F/all natural " place in NYC. They assured me the items were G F and that they understood what G F means. Irish - Curious which place? Was in UWS? I got glutened in one of these very proud-of-themselves small vegan places, too. And when I called them to let them know that what they...
  16. Nikki2777
    Thanks - I was hoping someone from the NY group might be on here. That's reassuring. The menu certainly does look good!
  17. Nikki2777
    Anyone know this restaurant? I see that the NYC Celiac Meetup group is having an event there to celebrate their re-opening. I'm always wary of these types of things with restaurants I don't know (because I worry that maybe they were closed for health code violations), but the menu looks great and I'd really like to check it out. Should I be concerned?
  18. Nikki2777
    While I don't eat a lot of 'substitute' foods (I was never a big fan of baked goods, anyway), eliminating gluten from my diet since my Celiac DX in March has made me a bit concerned about relying too much on one thing or another in my products (gluten-free Pasta, bread, etc.) Brown rice has arsenic, Soy is estrogenic etc. and who knows what's in all the...
  19. Nikki2777
    Glad to know I'm not the only one. I have to say, my kids are perfectly happy with my gluten-free pasta, so that's a help. One meal for all.
  20. Nikki2777
    It's strange - I guess I'm getting so used to being gluten free now (dx with Celiac in February) that a couple of times in the last few days, I've forgotten and almost eaten something I shouldn't. Never thought this would get so routine that it wasn't top of mind, but the other day my son didn't finish his sandwich and instead of wasting it, I said...
  21. Nikki2777
    Thanks- that looks good!

    Hi everyone - one of the snacks I miss most is Chex Mix. Despite the high calories :-) I'm sure it's easy to replicate, considering that most Chex is gluten-free, but has anyone got a good 'recipe' to share? Hoping to make up a batch this weekend. Thanks!

    I love Schar deli-style bread. Doesn't need toasting and tastes pretty close to rye bread. Pretty pricey, but the slices are big do I can often cut one in half for a sandwhich.

    I am SUCH an idiot. I'm usually so careful, but for some reason I just accepted an offer of some gum from a co-worker and popped it on my mouth (I don't even like gum, but my breath felt wonky) She's gone now, so I can't ask the brand. It was white, kind of chiclet shaped, maybe 3/4 inch by 1/2 inch and she took it from a dark blue blister pack that (maybe...
  25. Nikki2777
    You have to watch out for that, too - to the uninformed, if it doesn't say 'gluten' in the ingredients, they say it's 'gluten free', when we all know here that it's not called 'gluten' in the ingredients. I usually try to add "which means no wheat, barley, rye or oats", though you can't always tell who gets it and who doesn't.
