    The reality is that eating out is risky for celiacs. It is one aspect of this disease that I hate. I went out and spoke to the manager, went over ingredients, very careful-I still got sick (I had a salad)! I think of eating out like going to Vegas. It is a crap shoot, sometimes you win sometimes you lose. We really do not eat out that often (I am...

    Called on IBC root beer, it is gluten-free! Hez

    Karen, I think you are right. I think if you anger enough customers they will not come back. It is a shame they do not understand this part of business. I really did enjoy the magazine. Hez

    It does get easier! But it is very hard at first. Depending on the manufactuer I do trust labels (Kraft will clearly list gluten if it is a source). It is a matter of alot of research and at times calling companies to find out if a product is gluten-free. There are several soy sauces that do not have wheat, LaChoy, San-J wheat free tamari, and someone...

    I don't think the mini corn dogs were due out until the fall. I called them awhile ago but can't remember what they said I sure wish I could find the S'better ones. Hez

    Accoding to the Delphi list all of dr pepper products are gluten-free Dr Pepper (Open Original Shared Link) (vw=7/28/06) All varieties gluten-free Hez

    I have heard the same as you! Sadly, I have never had the chance to eat there. We had planned a stop there on the way back from Disneyland but it was so crowded. Hez

    My understanding of IBC root beer being gluten-free is from my Colorado gluten-free products list. It states that all IBC root beer is gluten-free. The information is a little over a year old. My guess is that the food starch is corn. However, the box has a toll free number that I can call. Hez

    Karen- I have been writing them letters in my head as well I am just not sure what I want to say. I do not want to come across as some angry weird person that they will immediatly discredit. Although the reality is I do not think they care what I or anyone else thinks. Hez

    I also like Alexia frozen fries. They say gluten-free right on the bag! But I agree, I miss french fries out. Hez

    Could your mum's reaction be out of guilt? No matter how irrational it sounds she could be in a defensive/self protective mode so she does not have to feel bad. I only bring this up because I know my mum felt bad about possibly giving me the gene. Now you and I and other rational people can say that is silly but feelings are feelings. Feelings are neither...

    Plus it's not like the flour would dissolve. There would be clumps floating in your drink, yuck! Even non celiacs would question flour in their drinks! Hez

    If you cannot find it in your area contact Kraft. Someone else did and was able to mail order it. Hez

    I am so sorry you got sick Eating out is always risky, no matter where you go. My guess would be cc with the salad or the steak (susupect salad since you hadn't had much of your steak). I have had horrible experiences eating out and great ones. I feel like I am in Vegas whenever I eat out! I hope you feel better soon. Hez

    I used to live in Texas and frequently had the Coke-a-Cola from Mexico. I loved it! I was not gluten-free then so I am not sure about the gluten-free. Wishing I lived in Texas again. Hez

    It takes awhile to research but you will find that alot of hard alcohols and the majority of wines are gluten-free. I would start by deiciding what drink you like best (assuming you indulge before your birthday) and researching the drink. I found Bicardi rums, Disorrono (sp) amaretto (sp), Makers Mark whiskey, and Jose Cuervo tequilla to be gluten-free...

    I used to love a Gevilla (the coffee people) green tea with ginger. I phoned the company shortly after dx and they said it had gluten. However, that was a long time ago and things can change. Hez

    I have found that cheesecake is one of the easiest desserts to make gluten-free. I use my old recipe and just sub gluten-free ingredients (gluten-free cookies for crust, gluten-free flour or none at all). Martha Stewart has an interesting cheesecake that I have not tried. It really does not have a typical crust. She uses ground almonds to dust the...

    This is a very common practice for companies that are in the food industry. Most companies are too small to build their own factory and outsource that part of the operation to another company that already has a factory up and running. There was an interesting show about this on TLC? last night. Based on the e-mail I would try them. It sounds like they...

    My subscription is up. I am really not sure if I will renew. I do love some of the articles, just can't stomach the attitude. Hez

    Just an fyi, www.shopbydiet.com is having a 10% off sale. Not a huge deal but if you were planning on ordering anyway the sale is a nice bonus. Hez

    My very supportive dh had a difficult time getting his head around this as well. However, when he saw how sick I got at a party from only a slight amount of cc he seemed to understand. Hopefully, you will not have to get sick for him to understand. Keep researching and sharing with your dh. Hez

    Up until last night I have really enjoyed this magazine. I feel like they do a great job investigating and reporting on celiac and gluten issues. My one complaint is that the magazine does not arrive at my door in a timely fashion (just got the spring issue, isn't it late summer?). The last issue mentioned that they were not allowing advertisements for...

    Keep in mind I am not an expert. I am still learning everyday! My take on it is that natural flavors could be gluten, but not always. For example, if I am looking at a Kraft label and it has natural flavors I do not worry. Kraft will clearly label gluten. If it is a company I am not familar with I start investigating (looking at my gluten-free lists...
