    How nice of you - and it does sound like you are going the extra mile to be careful. I have one of those pump things, and just use olive oil in it as a cooking spray. When that gets clogged, I just brush some olive oil on. Good luck.

    I know this is an old post, but if someone is searching... We ate at restaurant called "Columbia". They really seemed up on their gluten-free protocols and were very helpful.

    In my opinion, the way to do it is offer delicious, fresh food that just happens to be gluten free. The Celiac community will find out about it (and you certainly can say it on the truck, but don't highlight it), Your market of customers will simply be people who want to eat good, healthy, delicious food. Here in NY one of my favorite 100% gluten-free lunch...

    Hi Kareng, Ingredients: carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, cherry and other natural flavors, citric acid, sodium benzoate and artificial color (red #40) I guess it's the natural flavors. I've always been told we have to watch out for those. Thanks.

    Hi - I searched the forums and the few questions about this on here were very old. Does anyone know whether Dr. Brown's sodas (specifically Black Cherry and Cream) are Gluten Free? I've also searched and searched on the web for even someone to call and ask and I can't seem to find anything. Thanks

    I take Mylan Levothyroxine with no issues. I'm no expert and certainly not as knowledgeable as others that have responded, but if you are juicing, couldn't the high acidity of the fruits and some of the vegetables be causing some problems? I love fruit, but I have to watch out and limit my intake because too much just upsets my stomach.

    Not exactly MREs, nor anything that can be left for years, but when I'm going to be travelling for a while and need to pack light, I use gluten-free GO Picnics (I take them out of the boxes and put them into ziplocs) or make my own versions, mainly using items from minimus.com: Some jerky, pepperoni, cheese/crackers, hummus and gluten-free pretzels, etc...

    I'm thinking you heard 'arborio' as barley. Arborio is the type of rice typically used to make risotto and has no gluten. However, I will mention that I found one packaged risotto mix that contains something called '00 flour', which, after research (and after almost eating it), I learned was HIGH GLUTEN flour. I think it was a ShopRite or Stop and...

    Uh oh - I went in to look for it last night, and the TJ's employee said that three of the TJ's Gluten Free breads had been recalled! He didn't know if recall was for gluten contamination and I can't find anything online. Has anyone heard anything on this? Thanks!

    If anyone has any new info on Devacurl or (for those days when I go straight) Dribar products, I"d appreciate it!

    Wow, EJReeves, what a comprehensive list. I'll add that I think the Little Beet has opened another branch or two - totally gluten-free. I didn't know that I could eat at The Melt Shop, so I will definitely look into that. I'll also recommend this place called Arte'pizza or something like that on W. 55th just East of Sixth Ave/Ave. of the Americas...

    Be careful - Regular Peppermint Altoids in the regular size tins are gluten-free but the mini ones are not. Regular Altoids are my mint of choice, but I'll go with white tic tacs if I'm out and can't get them. I believe (but you should double check) that all life savers varieties are gluten-free, so their pep-o-mint and wintergreen would be ok: This...

    I don't shop at Trader Joe's often, but last night I bought a bread there I'd never seen before - Whole Grain Gluten Free Bread. I know people sometimes have issues with TJ's attention to gluten in their labeling, so I'm wondering if anyone else had tried this. I had two slices and it was delicious and held together really well, without toasting. I...

    I eat them, but I don't think I'm particularly sensitive. I don't recall seeing the note you mentioned about shared lines. Aren't they a Frito-Lay product? I think Frito-Lay is pretty gluten-aware, if that's a phrase.
  15. Nikki2777
    Anyone know if these are gluten free? I can't find anything here or on their website to indicate either way. The only suspect item in the ingredients list is "flavorings" and "spices". My husband wants to include this in a jambalaya tonight so thought I'd check. Thanks.

    I was talking to my primary care physician (who happens to be a Gastroenterologist) and described to him what has happened the few times I've been glutened since my DX about 2 1/2 years ago (we were discussing the potential impact of eating half of a non gluten-free chip) Two days of diarrhea, general bloat for another few days, spaciness for about a week...

    And thanks, too, Cycling Lady - I read Jane Anderson's link you gave, and I can't see where on the Lindt site she found her quote about shared lines and possible trace contamination. I guess I could call or e-mail them tomorrow, but this is what the site says tonight: Is there gluten or barley malt in Lindt chocolate? Gluten can be found in several premium...

    Thanks, Paulie - Mine is only in English and doesn't say that, so hopefully it's ok....

    Hi - My husband just brought me two Lindt Excellence 85% bars, because he read the ingredients and saw no gluten. I went on the Lindt website and it appears that these 'Excellence' dark chocolate bars are gluten free, according to Lindt, at least. But, I do remember reading that Lindt chocolates were risky. Did a search here and everything is pretty old...

    If this is a Peace Corps or that type thing (MSF?) there may be some way of Divisional HQ getting in periodic supplies. Maybe you could arrange with them? Also, perhaps you will be in a country that really doesn't cook with gluten ingredients indigenously so entirely gluten-free?

    Funny to see that other Paris post - I'm here now, and I'm usually hyper-vigilant, but despite having had no problems on prior gluten-free trips to Paris, I think I got glutened tonight (It was dark and I may have not seen fried onions mixed with the shawarma is my only guess - I'll check at the restaurant tomorrow.) Any way, I feel lousy and doubt my system...

    I love cheese chips - learned this from the South Beach Diet years ago. I use sharp cheddar, sometimes adding in some parmesan. Sprinkle the shreds in 2 - 3 inch circles on parchment paper and put it in the microwave - you'll have to experiment with time, but I usually go 40 - 70 seconds on high. I usually pat down with a paper towel after, as they...

    Hi - I would like to start taking a multivitamin that's a senior formula type (mid 50s here, so probably ready for that). What do you take and recommend? I don't like gummie (taste) or gel cap (oils) types, so just plain old fashioned pills are best. Also, I'm currently taking 1000 IU of D3 along with my thyroid meds (Synthroid generic), per doctor...
  24. Nikki2777
    YES! That's it. Thanks so much - Now, if I can only find a gluten-free version.
  25. Nikki2777
    Thanks - that flatkokur may be it! I look forward to hearing if there's a gluten-free version. And as for a car, I recommend an SUV even if you're staying on the road. We rented a little Opel and it was a bit frightening up on the windy mountain twists and turns. We suddenly understood why everyone in Reykjavik seemed to be driving SUVs. Wow -...
