    Jessica - you're missing the point - I know you're smarter than that. You're very insightful for such a young person. Consider this: my first doctor (the one that was smart enough to run the Celiac panel on me) told me I'd have to stop eating bread if I had Celiac. He never mentioned gluten or wheat - EVER. The point is if people hear about the wheat free...

    Please......don't get me started in on CPK. One of my friends thought they saw CPK on a gluten free menu list from a google search. So I checked and there wasn't ANY nutritional info on their site. I e-mailed them, inquring about gluten free menu options. Here is their reply - "When it comes to eating a healthy diet, we suggest you try our whole wheat pizzas...

    Sorry to confuse you - the neurologist I spoke of paid cash for his London treatment and is not in the movie at all. I was just making the point that doctors here will literally let you die if you can't afford treatment before telling you there is alternative treatments that are much cheaper out of the US. And not just in Mexico. This was not a point made...

    Oh yeah - that's the only bun I've found edible and I would certainly order it out, were it available to me. I'll let my Mother know if she goes to Disney with my sister/kids they need to do MGM just for the burger...lol!

    Well Rusla - after you see this movie, you really will want to retire in Cuba.

    Where is MGM - in CA? Whose bun did they use or do they bake their own. I've tried about 8 different gluten-free buns but none I'd ever reorder. I head the MD's bun in Austrailia is quite good.

    I asked about this product a couple of weeks ago after DH found it in the health food store. Apparently it works for some when they've been glutened. I was thinking I would buy and keep it on hand for when I travel but I'm not sure it's worth the money. If I ever get a little bloating from cc issues, one Pepto tablet makes me better in a bout 30 minutes....

    Let me start by saying that if you despise Michael Moore I understand but don't care to discuss that. Generally his movies are pretty one sided but this one was very different in my opinion. He even slammed Hilary Clinton for taking donations from pharma companies and he used to worship her. He's not to the left or right on the healthcare issue - as I understand...

    I've never made it to the Alpharetta Natural Foods Warehouse, though I heard their prices were great. It's almost an hour from me which it just a little too far to drive for groceries. Well they finally opened a second location about 20 minutes from me so we went on Saturday. It's a bare bones, concrete floors kind of place but they prices are unbelievable...

    The very best pasta to me is Bi-Aglut but I hate paying frt. for food so I avoid it when possible. I use Bionaturae but it contains soy flour. I think it tastes the best for the money in the gluten-free market. Dr. Schar is also excellent but another one that I can only find online. All three of these are actually made in Italy as far as I know. When WF puts...

    As my post stated, Duncan Hines has changed their position on their creamy homestlye frosting at least four times in 18 months that I know of. I had to return a can when I mistakenly bought it after I had gotten it gluten-free before. The newer can clearly stated barley on the label. Any company that changes their position that many times is a company I'll...

    Actually, DH said their homestyle frostings were okay, then not.....it's on again off again with them and I've taken products like that off my shopping list. Their frosting is full of crap anyway, gluten-free or not. I bought a can before I was careful about limiting my food additives and it clearly said barley malt on the label. That was a year ago. In early...

    Their Decadent Chocolate Frosting in a jar is the best such product I've had. It's very rich, creamy and seems homemade to me. I used it on Cherrybrook Kitchen chocolate cupcakes and thought they were good enough to share with gluten eating neighbors. It's pricey but worth it when you don't have time to make it from scratch. Our Trader Joe's has a lot...

    At my ex-Mexican restaurant they told me their corn chips contained corn, oil and lime and they do. But they neglected to admit that they fry them in fryers where they fry their flour products in the am. Another Mexican place told me that it's rare to find a place where they have one fryer just for corn items. I reacted to the old place corn products so I...

    I rarely watch the Today show (GMA person) but when I turned on the tv today it was on the NBC channel. They had a teaser about dealing with bloating so I decided to see what they said.....intending to e-mail the show when they neglected to mention Celiac. So I was pleasantly surprised when Ann Curry asked if there could be serious issues with bloating and...

    I just wanted to say that although I think it's a great idea to get help here when trying to pick out a place to eat out in your area. However, it's important to remember that your experience might not be the same as others - even at the same location where others have had great success. I rarely eat at chains anymore but when I was first dx'd, I went to...

    mamaw is correct. This event is a fundraiser and the attendess they really want there are doctors. They figure that people with Celiac already know way more about Celiac and gluten free food than most doctors, of any discipline. One of my own knucklehead ex docs told me flat out 'you know all the food you love, well you can't have any of it on the gluten...

    I totally agree! The fact that this article actually got published is beyond belief to me. Seriously - People magazine is the last magazine I'd think would do such a story. I can't get over it - I think we have finally hit the mainstream and that is a very good thing indeed! If you want to thank 'People' their e-mail is editor@people.com or editor@peoplemagazine...

    Yes - that's the idea. Every time we say gluten to someone who doesn't know what it is, we're helping ourselves and everyone else that's gluten free. We're not going to wake up one day and the whole country is going to know all about Celiac and gluten and more importantly, how to prepare gluten free food for us. It's going to be long, drawn out process and...

    Someone on this board recently posted about how she got her Manhatten co-workers to go to Starbuck's and order their test market gluten-free brownie so Starbuck's would think more people wanted the brownie than really do. I think this is a brilliant strategy. A few weeks back, someone on the Celiac listserv asked everyone to contact Uno's Pizza and inquire...

    I got lots of help from listserv on places to eat in New Orleans when on vacation. We stayed in a B&B and the hostess/owner went out of her way to feed me breakfast safely. Artichoke/parmesean fritta one day and Canadian bacon one day, Crawfish omelet another (coverted from crepes recipe but offered to go buy gluten-free flour for me) and one the day...

    This is funny! How about when a hemotologist tells you 'you're a woman, women get anemia. As soon are you get through menopause your anemia will go away' and you're only 43 at the time.....and have not started menopause yet?!!! Also, my dx'ing GI told me 'you can still eat rice, corn and potatoes and hung up' - literally. I fired him that minute though...

    Danna posted on listserv the article was bumped AGAIN. Supposedly it will out in this Friday's issue. I'll believe it when I see it....LOL!

    I got a call from an aquaintance of mine asking me about the gluten free diet. Her Mother was just dx'd with Fibromyalgia and was told she should go on a gluten free diet to help her symptoms. As I understand it, Celiac was not brought up, nor has this person been tested for it. The dr. explained about how gluten was in so many things and suggested a strict...
