    My exercise teacher told me last night about her friend who is 45 and is NYC this week for a second opinion about why her bones are so brittle. She has about four pins in her body from various breaks, all from doing normal activities as far as I can tell. The doctors in Atlanta have not been much help and one of them 'thinks' she could have bone cancer but...

    Walmart sells a cookie called Sunstart which is gluten free. It's made in Ireland and they only make five different flavors of cookies - nothing else from what I can tell. Since I don't shop at Walmart EVER, I had to find them online after tasting them in FL over the holidays. I could NOT believe they were gluten free AND they don't crumble easily when traveling...

    I rarely watch this show but I saw most of it last night. Jim's wife's character mentioned a ficticious actress and said 'she sings, she dances and even has her own line of gluten free pasta'. I almost fell off the chair. I was surfing other channels later and switched back and someone had delivered a gift basket to Jim's house and the wife said 'oh she sent...

    mb1984- I think I got my bags from the Connis Sarros (sp?) site. Google her and toaster bags and it will come up. There are lots of places that sell them so you may want to shop around for the best deal. There were only two bags in my pack which is fine when using on for travel but they won't last long for everyday use. kimjoy24 - that would really get...

    I was at a small hotel in Gainesville FL last week on the way to Orlando for work. DH was with me and the hotel serves breakfast in the back lobby. The only thing I could have was a boiled egg and fruit as everthing else was bread related. So I had my own bread in a cooler in the room and I took it and my new toaster bags down and then put the bread into...

    I really think The View will do a 'proper' segment on Celiac because from what I was told, Rosie mentioned last week that they were doing a segment on it this week. I think Friday's blurb was really just a teaser and an ad for the beer. True everyone who is gluten free knows about the beer already, but I know of someone dx'd with Celiac who couldn't give...

    I'm sure it's not coincidental that she was promoting the new AB beer but if that is what it took for her to 'come out' so to speak I'm thrilled that AB approached her. Maybe she had them donate money to Celiac research or something. AB is a huge ABC sponsor and having anyone on The View drink Redbridge on air is priceless advertising. Either way it works...

    Posted on listserv this morning. The owner of Baby Cakes (gluten free bakery in NYC) will be on making gluten free brownies tomorrow.

    The new and improved support group in the Atlanta area kicked off the new year on Saturday. Key note speakers were: Venessa Maltin (author of 'Beyond Rice Cakes'), Alice Bast (founder and director of NFCA / www.celiaccentral.org) and the NFCA's new National Spokesperson Heidi Collins (anchor of CNN Newsroom, M-F/9-12). We knew Vanessa and Heidi would be there...

    Veru interesting posts - thanks everyone. ravenwoodglass - I gave her the Ener-G crackers and she does like them best for a gluten-free cracker. Still she says it's no Saltine and of course she's right. I guess I just don't miss anything as I've found more food than I ever knew existed that I love. One thing is for sure, if I was ever tempted to cheat...

    Well I finally had a Redbridge on Friday night. It was really just like a beer to me but I think I prefer Bard's Tale if I had to vote. Hard to say without doing a taste test side by side. I really mostly have beer at Braves games so now it's my mission to get Turner Field concessions to carry Redbridge. They already get AB in so they should be able to bring...

    I don't think Tinkyada reheats well from the fridge but it does fine when frozen. I still prefer Bi-Aglut or Sr. Shar pasta but they don't export their lasagne noodles to the US - that I can find anyway ( ) so I'm having lasagne made with Tinkyada tonight.

    They told me ALL their products are gluten free. They have the enchilada sauce at my Publix.

    www.clanthompson.com has the best program I think. You can try it online for free.

    www.glutenfreeoats.com. They are out of this world great for cookies!

    Thanks for the thoughts on why someone would do such a thing. I guess I really have had it much easier that Mother since having to go gluten free. In Dr. Green's book he says there are two kinds of people in the world (he did not coin this phrase) - those who live to eat and those who eat to live. Mother is the former and I'm the latter. I'm sure that makes...

    Patti - glad everything went fine. You remain in my prayers but remember no house cleaning! Who knows maybe Mark will take a liking to it himself - lol! Rest up and feel better soon. Everyone here misses you as you can see.

    Strongbow was one but I forgot the other. Maybe I'll try one when it gets hot.....that's when I like beer. I'm only having one tonight because it's here. It's not really cold today so that's good. I'll probably let it sit out and warm up before drinking. I think the Europeans drink their beer the right way. Here it's too cold for me. Have a great weekend...

    Okay - for any of you in the Gwinnett area of Atlanta, the Publix at the corner of S'loaf and FFT rd. got the beer in today. The manager actually called me as promised so I went after lunch and got a 6-pk. for $7.49 which I personally thought was a good deal as I paid $10 for Bard's Tale. Anyway, it's a bit early to start drinking so I'll try it tonight with...

    I've been gluten free for almost a year now and my Mother was dx'd (due to my dx) about 10 months ago. She is not careful when dining out (tries to be but her personality gets int he way) so she occaisionally gets glutened and doesn't enjoy it when it happens. I've accepted the fact that she is not as careful as she needs to be since it's her life. I know...

    Wow! Thanks so much for posting this. I'm always a bit wary about booking places overseas (before gluten free even) so I check the reviews at www.tripadvisor.com. Most places worth staying at have been reviewed on there by actual tourists who've stayed there. In three years it has not steered me wrong yet. Good luck and have a glorious trip! Remember in the...

    Well my Publix bev mgr was told yesterday that they won't have the beer until first of Jan. Didn't call Walmart since I would not go there if the beer was there and free.......maybe I'll have better luck in FL....will post after Chrimstas. Whole Foods also said next week......... Happy Holidays everyone!

    This info below was posted on list serv.......if the person who posted it gets a reply back from the university about getting the bread to the US, I'll post that here too. She e-mailed them yesterday. In many places in Spain you can get gluten free tapioca bread in restaurants...... That's why Spain is my next European destination. The university link...

    I saw it! I was wrapping gifts and almost fell off the chair.......she had gluten free cookies which Rosie said were great! First we get beer, then a new gluten-free bread in Spain and now this! Christmas came early for me this year!
  25. floridanative
    Oh my........Publix better get it because I may be thrown in jail if I have to go to Walmart before Christmas........but I must take beer to FL for beer-battered shrimp on Christmas eve!
