    Oh I'm so excited! Our Woodfire Grill will open in November of this year (Atlanta). I can't wait! Glad you had such a nice time. I think NY and Chicago are two of the best places to visit when thinking of your dining out options.

    Well Turtle - it wasn't the college spring break, but Fulton and Dekalb county public schools....we didn't have much of a choice about when we could go due to other obligations...a friend warned me that we picked the worst time to go and she was right. The hotel service was so bad that a small complaint e-mail got us a coupon for two free nights. I'd never...

    Yes - we were in an cabin with full kitchen too, hence we only ate out one night. If you go to Cashiers, the other place I researched is called Cornucopia which apparently serves lunch as well as dinner and it's down the street from The Ochard. I can not vouch for them though since we didn't get around to eating there. Also, there is nothing much to do in...

    In case anyone goes there for vacation (perfectly lovely in the Fall) I found two places to feed us safe gluten free meals. We only had to dine out once so I only tried one place but it provided me with one of my best meals out in months. Gourmet all the way but it was hysterical as it's in a 'dry' county so they actually list their service fee for serving...

    I'm sure it's up to the individual owners because my Outback didn't even have an updated gluten free menu in the store when I went months ago. They had something they said was on old office copy (dated 2004), not for guests, but since it was all they had, they gave it to me. Had I not known what was online and gluten free, we would have had to leave. I got...

    How awesome! We have friends that live around the corner from there so we are going to be able to meet them for dinner there now. The husband is a vegetarian so I'll not be the only one eating a modified meal. What dish did you have with the pasta?

    Have a great vacation! We stayed at this hotel and it was nice.....went during Atlanta's spring break last year which was a big mistake. I have never seen so many unruly kids at one place - not college kids by the way, there were not many of them, if any. This will be a perfect time to enjoy the beach, after the crowds have desserted it. I'd tell most...

    If water is sold at an event, I think patrons of that event should expect to pay for water inside, whatever the cost. But most festivals such as this will NOT be able to feed us, and therefore we should be allowed to bring something in to eat. I took my own food to the Dogwood festival here in April but it's a free event, and there is no one checking bags...

    key - that is such great news about your recovery. It gives me hope for my Celiac Mother who is feeling much better on the diet after 6 months but she is either intolerant to something else and hasn't figured that out yet. I told her to be patient since she has 20 years on me so there is no way she'll heal as fast as I did. She also has a horridly cc problem...

    Well lucky for me I'm not giving up fat, just gluten - lol! That said, I only ate one of the four fingers so I would not clog my ateries all at once! It will take me a week to eat the whole thing and that is something I will enjoy and not feel guilty about either. As I said I prefer Schar bars and they are cheaper and less fat/cal. But it's fun to splurge...

    Mmmmmmm that pie sounds great - thanks for sharing! I'm going to get those shells and make quiche for an upcoming weekend with in laws. We have been asked to bring out own breakfast (think they are scared to feed me) so that's fine. The quiche will be perfect with some cranberry orange scones and a little orange marmalade. I'll even try and be nice and let...

    Every place I shop tells me to tell them what I'd like to see in the store and I do. That is how they added the 123 gluten-free line, well since everyone probably asked for it too. Do you have a health food store of any kind in your area? What they ask me to do is bring in an empty package so they can get the company info and you could try that at your store...

    One was Natural Feast pies and I just found that on the board. Most didn't like the fruit pies (nasty per nini)and the choc. mouse seemed to fare best of all, though crust is bland. The store also sells a 2 pk. gluten-free pie crust but the only one left was damaged. They guy said he has a hard time keeping them in stock so I'm going to use them for quiche...

    Mmmm....downtown I like Chow Baby but only two sauces there are gluten free. Go when the open. Also R. Thomas has lots of yummy options too. I take my own pasta to Spaghetti Factory and get there early. I only go on days when Ken (head cook) is there. Hes has several gluten free diners there each week, all taking in their own pasta. The sauce I like is gluten...

    Mmmmmmmmmm.....sound good mamaw! Thanks for posting. Now is there any way for me to use 1.5 eggs so I can half the recipe? And you don't have to cook the zucchini first?
  16. floridanative
    I'd like to add that my family doesn't own any restaurants but I'm able to eat out regularly, but particularly, without getting sick. My recent Celiac check up bloodwork was so clean that my Dr. said it was unbelieveable. My antibodies are like <4 and <6. She says I'm doing a remarkable job on my strict gluten free diet and whatever I'm doing, I should...

    I'm with jkmunchkin with the exception that Outback is a place I won't eat out at since mine is terribly run and doen't even have current gluten-free menus...........go figure. We eat out once a week usually, sometimes twice. We use to eat four meals per week including take out. So we've cut our eating out by 50%. I sort of work for vacation and entertainment...

    That is funny - I had WF Bakehouse bananna bread this am with fruit. Forgot it was in the freezer for months. Defrosted a day in fridge, nuked and it was just like out of the oven. I was pleasantly surprised. But what I need is a zucchini bread recipe. If anyone has a regular one, that's what I prefer. I just use a gluten-free mix for the wheat flour I buy...

    I don't watch that show but that is so cool! A few weeks ago we were wathcing the Steven Colbert show on Comedy Central and he was doing some silly rant and said the words 'gluten free bake sale' and I almost fell off the bed!

    I was thrilled when both my sister and Mother got tested at my request. Mother was sick for 18 years so I knew she had it as soon as I was dx'd. Mother has it but sister was negative. Her kids are who I'm worried about but my urging her to test them has put strain on our relationship which is already long distance. So I'm working on convincing my Mother to...

    ARCHIVED Eerrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    floridanative replied to hannahsue01's topic in Doctors

    I had an MRI on my shoulder Sat. I'm pretty sure looking at the films (that doc must interpret Wed.), that having an MRI is a ridiculous idea if looking for evidence for Celiac. Other correct me if I'm wrong.

    Wow that is wonderful and thanks for sharing. I have a goal that my hubby's family reunion in three weeks will not be a drag for me - not sharing a cabin with all the gluten eaters since that's all they know of food and I'm not kidding. At least you inspired me to make sure and take lots of gluten-free goodies to share and I'm sure they will not believe Pamela...

    Ursula - so sad to read about your sick friend and his wife as well. I appreciate you posting that story. I understand your frustration completely. My friend who was dx'd wtih diabetes and never even told me, just takes meds and eats what she wants apparently. If she ever took charge of her health, I'd be there to support her every step of the way. Until...

    Disclaimer: the chef there does not know any more than I told him about Celiac, gluten and safe preperations practices and I did not go over everything, just what I felt was important regarding me having a safe brunch meal there. Since the meals I usually have there (brunch) are gluten free anyway the only thing I had to do was substitute fresh fruit for...
  25. floridanative
    Well I'm sure the soy sauce does contain gluten but in the woman's e-mail she did say plain, unmarinated steak and chicken were the only safe menu options, plus a baked potato. So I think they read enough to know at least that gluten could be in sauces. However, there is a new development in this saga. The woman has a sister who was told last week she needed...
