I would appreciate getting this question (yes, I know it's not really an allergy), because it makes it clear that cross-contamination would be an issue.  In your case, you can legitimately say 'allergy' (or as legitimately as someone ...

Yes, it's sad - unless it's a place known to do well by Celiacs (there are a few where I live), I won't get eggs at a diner, other than soft-boiled in the shell (and most diners won't do that.) As I'm not getting eggs, I don't get bacon...

Trader Joe's has gluten-free cornbread mix, stuffing, gravy and pie shells at this time of year. Whole Foods and Williams Sonoma has a lot of these, too. They definitely help!

Thank you, Scott! This looks really helpful.

If I understand your question, you're asking if handling gluten while working food service will be a problem with your Celiac? Can't say for sure, but I doubt it - just be careful to wash your hands before eating and make sure you're...

I don't know about Lawry's but I trust McCormick's labelling. As an alternative, we use something called Jane's Krazy Salt regularly. It's very good.

Thank you.
Scott - I didn't know that. Very scary. Basically like making a choice to hurt your residents.
And Knitty Kitty (great name, btw) I would definitely be on board for that, though I don't know if I could convince...

Thanks, Scott. I'm actually less concerned about that as it is my understanding that Nursing Homes, being medical facilities, have to provide a safe diet (though the food is probably inedible). I imagine it's kind of like the pre-packaged...

I think it's a terrific idea - 
I don't know how many people with Celiac avoid restaurants altogether, but I certainly don't. I'm lucky enough to live in a major metropolitan area with a number of dedicated Gluten Free restaurants ...

Thank you. I was able to find this label after some digging, so with natural flavors being ok, I’m drinking this!

This is a terrific list, Scott.
Thank you!

No issues at all.  A whole new world of flavor 😉

Freshly is very tasty if a bit heavy on sauces (maybe why they’re so tasty!) I really liked it but had to stop because I was trying to lose weight. That was 1+ years ago and I gave that feedback so it’s possible they’ve introduced leaner...

Scott, that’s really interesting about natural flavors. I thought I was pretty up to date on the things to not worry about, but I missed that one. 
 
Opens up a whole new world of possibilities!

Hi Sam - 
While that's definitely a tough age, you have a wonderful opportunity to model speaking up and advocating for themselves and a head on approach to handling life's curve balls.  I agree that the big chain restaurants c...

It depends, I got glutened at the beach but it was all CC and took 2 days to get REALLY sick. Other times I have been sick within 2 hours of eating it.
