I had heard she passed away Glad to see that rumor was wrong!

I loved this place Open Original Shared Link! I could not get over how large the gluten-free menu is. I am used to the gluten-free menu being a handful of items. This place was amazing! We had gluten-free garlic cheese bread for an appetizer, delicious. I then had a tomato cream and sausage gluten-free pasta dish. So good! I only wish I lived closer (about 75 minutes away). I think they get the bread and pizza dough from Deby's gluten-free bakery. If you live in Denver you have to try this place. Just a note, I do not own or have a interest in this place! My interest is only to be able to eat there again

Tiffany-

Who do you use for your onlilne shopping?

Hez

I ate there for the first time the other day and had a great experience. I spoke to the manager before I ordered and went through the ingredients. I ended up with a bowl with rice, black beans and chicken. I skipped the lettuce, cheese, salsa area because I thought cc would be too high. I will go again. Just not anytime soon. I try to limit how often I eat out.

Hez

I have heard (do not know from experience) that eating ALOT of cherries at one time can cause "d". Could be an old wives tale!

Hez

I use the recipe for the gluten version (can get it from the Kelloggs webstie) just sub your gluten-free cereal. I use Kraft stay puff marshmellows! Enjoy your treat

Hez

I can only speak from my experience. I do not/did not have dizzy spells. I always had "d". I notice around my menstrual cycle I still get loose bowels or even "d". For the longest time I kept thinking I had been glutened. After talking to girlfriends and my doc I think the weird bowel stuff is hormonal. So maybe some of the systems are made worse from the fluctuation of hormones. Just a thought. Hope you feel better soon.

My gluten-free product list for Denver has all denteyne, trident and big red as gluten-free. You still should read the label my list is about a year old.

Hez

I have never tried Shasta products, sorry. There are quite a few root beers that are gluten-free (A&W, Hires, IBC, Mug) so not all root beers are made from barley.

Hez

I know in the US regular Advil is gluten-free (I use it). However, I do not know about the sinus and cold formulas. Sorry.

Hez

No. On their website it lists organic malt as an ingredient. Malt=gluten.

Hez

No. Sorry but rice krispies have malt in them. Malt=gluten. You can easily make your own treats by using a gluten-free rice crisp cereal (there are several brands, I cannot think of the name) and kraft marshmellows. Very yummy

Hez

I would think the wine would be safe IF it is just wine and not some flavored sugary thing AND if no one inticited (dipped) their bread into the wine cup. I use a plain rice cracker for my communion. The priest has it up at the altar with the other hosts. I have a sepearate plate (there is some technical name for it but I cannot remember) so there is not cc issues. I would just have a conversation about celiac with your priest/pastor and see what you can work out.

Hez

I really like this recipe. I have left out the orange and added more limes. This is a great place to start and add your own personal touches!

Hez

1 orange, juiced

2 limes, juiced

3 tbsp oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 jalapeno, seeded and minced

1 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp salt

I get the taquitos from Sam's all the time. It seems like the chicken ones used soy sauce (wheat) but the beef ones did not. I just look at the bar code and compare to the sheet. I am sure I look silly but it is worth it!

Hez

If I remember correctly Lea and Perrins is not gluten-free in Canada? It is gluten-free in the US.

Hez

I know Bicaridi rums are safe, DiSorrono (sp?, amaretto), Makers Mark whiskey, Jose Cuervo. My mind is drawing a blank. What is your favorite alcohol? Go from there, and find out if it is safe.

The distilation process does not allow the gluten particles to pass through. Which is why quite a few alcohols are safe.

Hez

Sometimes I think my dx is karma bitting me in the a**! I was never very understanding of people with food allergies. I had the mentality that society should not cater to those who had issues (like resturants). Now that I am walking in my shoes I realize how self centered and insensitive I was I am more aware of others needs and more understanding of how difficult it is to navigate in our society if you fall outside the "norm". I am the type to always look for the silver lining, for me I have become a better person.

Hez

You might want to have your thyroid levels checked. I am on synthroid (do not have a thyroid due to cancer) and if I have too little medication I am tired. Just a thought?

Hez

It took a good 6 months for the "d" to go away and have normal bm. I stopped drinking milk during that time because it made me sick. I have been gluten-free for over a year and I can drink milk again without any problems. I think my villi just needed to heal. It really did seem to take a long time for me to feel better.

Hez

I have been gluten-free for over a year and my glutened symptoms seemed to have changed over time. I used to get sick within a couple of hours. Would stay sick with "d" and fatigue for about a month. Last time I got glutened the reaction was very different. It came on very gradually so I have no idea where I got sick (although I have an idea). I had "d" and horrible brain fog (never had this before). The brain fog went away after about a week but the "d" stayed around for 5 weeks. I know everyone is different.

Hez

We use the kelloggs eggo syrup. Last time I checked it was gluten-free.

Hez

You could also try cut up avacado and baked gluten-free muffins.

Hez

I do my best to avoid touching gluten. Not because I have a reaction, I just get sick of washing my hands. I do have to make sandwhiches for the kids and their snacks. After handling I wash my hands carefully. I did get rid of my lotion, make up and shampoo that had gluten. Mostly because I got sick from licking my fingers (I was eating) after recently putting on lotion. For me it is just easier not to use products with gluten.

Hez

Amy's sent me an e-mail this morning. I thought they had not placed the rice crust pizza on the list of gluten-free foods. I must have been wrong Here is the reply I got from Amy's

Hello Hez,

fact, we make it in gluten free facility!
