    A couple of Stretch Island Fruit Leather bars are thin enough to stick in your wallet. They are a nice pick-me-up snack. Have Fun.

    Cynthia, I'm glad you had a good day yesterday! Clan Thompson's Celiac Food SmartList says that Hellman's Lite, Hellman's Reduced Fat and Hellman's Regular Mayo are gluten free. I don't use mayo that much, but when I do, I try to stick to the low fat. Cindy

    Hi Monica, I live in Westminster - which isn't too far far from Frederick. I know someone who shops in a health food store in Frederick, but I don't know the name of it - I will find out for you. Depending on where in town you are moving - if you are anywhere near Route 15, you can head into Gettysburg, PA, which has a nice health food store called The...

    I sprinkle Gluten Free Pantry Chicken Flavor Broth Mix on veggies or rice. It gives them a nice flavoring. Cindy

    Welcome Hummingbird-Hill! If you are running 200-300 blood sugars every day, this is a very possible reason for you to be tired. (Although it could be due to age too - I'm right behind you ). I also take multiple shots daily. I take Humalog on a sliding scale (depending on what my blood sugar is) at meals and at bedtime. I take Lantus at breakfast...

    I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for 27 years, and was diagnosed with Celiac a year ago. I also have gained weight, and by blood sugars are all over the place. I know that the reason for this is that I am eating way too much gluten free processed food. I go to Whole Foods about once a month and stock up on gluten free cinnamon raisin bread, cranberry-orange...

    I was born in April. My brother, who also has Celiac, was born in June.

    Hang in there mum, this site is a wonderful place to come to for answers. If you click on the site index, there is a list of safe and forbidden foods. This list can be a little overwhelming, but it gets easier with time. Good luck, Cindy

    I wasn't diagnosed with celiac until age 46, but up until that time I was only having occasional bowel problems. Thinking back now, as a child, whenever I got a sore throat my tonsils would swell up and have these white humps on them. Cindy

    There are some vitamins that you can purchase in stores that are gluten free. I have found Nature Made brand at Rite-Aid which states right on the bottle that it does not contain gluten. Cindy

    Hi TerriLynn and Laurel! I also wanted to mention medications. Laurel, when you mentioned how tired you were, I wondered if you were taking vitamins. When I first started my gluten free lifestyle, I didn't know to look for gluten in medications and supplements. I was getting ready to buy more vitamins, and I happened to read the label on my...

    Welcome Terrilyn! You might want to go back and read some of the old posts here. You will find a lot of useful information. Don't forget to check your personal hygiene products (soaps, lotions, shampoo's etc.) for gluten. If you're not sure after reading the ingredients, you can contact the manufacture's website for more information. Also, if you...

    Welcome! You will find a lot of good information and support here. I know that it is really hard when you are just starting out. You have to read every ingredient in everything you pick up. It will seem like shoping will take forever. It does get better as you become familier with what you can and can not have. You don't say where you are from...

    I know that I would be upset if they discontinued the Cranberry/Orange Scones. They are wonderful - I buy them by the case and freeze them. They are always sold out of them when I go, which is not too often. The closest store is pretty far away. I always call about a week before I plan to make a trip to the store, and place an order for them and the Blueberry...

    Turkey Hill Ice Cream uses corn and tapioca modified food starches, both of which are also gluten-free. If the product contains gluten, wheat will be listed. I e-mailed edy's at www.edys.com and they sent me a list of their gluten-free products. We CANNOT have any of the ones with cookie or brownie pieces (duh) or the French Silk. The...

    I thought that I was completely gluten free, but I had constant itching on my stomach. I contacted the manufacturers of the shampoo and body soap that I was using, and found out that they possibly contained ingredients that could be a source. I switched shampoos and soap, and the itching has improved. Cindy

    ChelsE - It didn't happen to me. I guess it could just be you (of course I didn't get home until around 7:15, and by the time I fixed dinner, ate and logged on, they got it fixed. Cindy

    My father had an iliostomy due to ulcerative colitis about 30 years ago. Of course they didn't test for Celiac back then. My brother was diagnosed with Celiac several years ago, and I was diagnosed 1 year ago. I feel that he most likely had it too. Cindy

    I use Hormel sliced packaged lunchmeat to make wraps. I fill them with slices of gluten free cheese (Kraft labels all of the ingredients in their products) and roll them up. I add some gluten free crackers and a fruit for a quick and easy lunch.

    kevsmom replied to odcdinah's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    This is the information that I received when I e-mailed them in February 2006: Thank you for inquiring. The information provided herein is based on standard product formulations and recipes. Variations can be expected due to slight differences in product assembly on a restaurant-by-restaurant basis and other factors. In order to ensure freshness of our...

    Welcome! I have found the people here very helpful and supportive. I'm sorry that I can't help you with your daughter's issues. DH is probably one of the only symptoms that I don't have . I'm sure that someone will write in with some information for you soon. Cindy

    You guys are not alone...I always have my fan on and my Oust in my desk drawer. My boss's office is right next to mine, and top level people are comming and going all of the time. People are always in and out of my office too. I am the person they come to to find out "Where is this", "How do I do that", "Can you fix my computer, or do I have to call I...

    Arby's website lists the roast beef and the baked potatoes as being gluten free. On my first (and only) trip to Arby's I ordered a medium roast beef without the bun and a baked potato. I was watching how they prepare orders, and they pull the meat from a tray with gloved hands and place it on a bun. I told them that they would have to change gloves...
