ARCHIVED Port St Lucie & Fort Lauderdale, Fl
mookie03 replied to elefky's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Hey there, I'm going to PSL this wknd! I dont know any specifically gluten-free places but i do know i am going to a place in Palm Beach Gardens one night called Seasons 52 - it is supposed to be a "healthy" restaurant so i'm sure they can accommodate. Other than that, i plan on going to Publix and stocking up on snacks, as i'm sure i cant eat anything... -
ARCHIVED Stonyfield Farms Yogurt
mookie03 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hey guys, I just happened to check out the Stonyfield Farms website (I couldn't find the kind i used to buy and wanted to see whether it was still available) and i found this link: Open Original Shared Link Apparently, they have (finally) completed their gluten-free certification process and now ALL of their yogurts are gluten-free! I for one am... -
ARCHIVED Reunion Day - First Day Of Winter
mookie03 replied to debmidge's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Aww, thanks Deb - I definitely fall under the category of those who disappeared for a while... it's definitely a sign that I've adjusted to the diet but I have learned so much from you guys and just wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped me get to where i am with this diet. Maybe when things quiet down a little for me i'll be able to post more regularly... -
Funny, i laughed when they talked about using the diet to lose weight because you cant eat twinkies - i for one ate healthy before the diet and now i eat much more sugar, carbs, etc. b/c the gluten-free substitutes are simply not as healthy as their gluten-filled counterparts. I didn't love the tone of the article - i was thinking that if i didnt know anything...

ARCHIVED Gluten Free At Yankee Stadium
mookie03 replied to nothungry's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
FYI - the Carvel at Yankee stadium and shea are gluten-free...had some today at Shea I have also had the popcorn without any problems (at both places). And the shelled peanuts. those are the only foods i will eat at either place though. Actually, today i also had a fruit salad because apparently you can order it from the good seats - who knew?! -
This was the one in FL - it is in between Jupiter and Palm Beach, dont remember the exact location, maybe Palm Beach Gardens?

ARCHIVED Glutened At Bonefish Last Night!
mookie03 replied to wolfie's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Just an FYI - the only time i have eaten at Bonefish they brought my meal out with the garnish - i had seen on the menu that it wasnt gluten-free so i asked the waiter and he INSISTED it was gluten-free - i spoke to the manager and he took it back. But the point is, my experience was that the waiters were not well-informed about gluten - the other waiter... -
ARCHIVED Starbuck's Dulce De Leche
mookie03 replied to dionnek's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Wait - so does that mean you guys need me to buy these a few times a day all over nyc so that they succeed and are nationally distributed? I think i can take one for the team -
I guess shame on me too, but I eat popcorn at games all the time. I am a sports fanatic so i go to games all the time and the only things i will eat at baseball games are popcorn, soft serve ice cream and peanuts in the shell. I have never gotten sick (not that those options are so great) because i have yet to find gluten in those items - i know it could...

ARCHIVED Do They Still Sell Amy's Rice Macaroni And Cheese?
mookie03 replied to beaglemania's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was also wondering about the Amys gluten-free lasagna - havent seen that one in a LONG time and i loved it -
Jillian - that's awesome! And good for you for calling corporate - i thought about it but have been really busy and havent had a chance - i guess the more people that call the more likely they are to institute a policy about it. FYI, was at Woodbury Commons today and they had it at the starbucks there too...its everywhere!
-
So i walk into starbucks today and the first thing i see in that little case of treats is a gluten-free Brownie called the Aztec Ancho Chili Brownie (random!) It was in the case with the rest of the pastries - wasnt touching anything but i was still a little hesitant (and not hungry). Anyway, has anyone tried it? This was in Midtown NYC. Seems like a...

So funny - it totally didnt strike me that way. I am from NY and i feel like everywhere i go these days, when i tell people i have celiac (or an allergy to gluten, as i do say sometimes when i'm around people who probably dont know what celiac disease is), they always say things like that - it seems like everyone knows someone with celiac disease or gluten...

ARCHIVED Glutino Crackers
mookie03 replied to jkmunchkin's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
i love those crackers! i bought them once just to made bread crumbs as breading for fish but i tried one and was amazed how good they are! totally a cross between a ritz cracker and a saltine -
NYC is wonderful for gluten-free dining. However, i am not that familiar with the area up there. The closest i can offer you is Sambuca on West 72nd and Josephina's in Lincoln Center (no gluten-free menu but very accommodating). Also Fairway market on W74th has an upstairs that has tons of gluten-free options if you need to pick up anything. I definitely...
-
That's great news, i dont think i could deal with it closing down permanently! I love that i'm so unconcerned with the health of the restaurant itself, i just keep thinking "Please re-open - no one cares about passing inspection!" lol
-
Sorry if this has already been posted, i was away this weekend, but i just read that Risotteria was shut down by the health department??? Does anyone know what's going on? I was there the other day and had a great meal, as always...but that area apparently is getting slammed by the health department ever since the taco bell rat fiasco a few weeks ago. ...

I just went to Bonefish for the first time and i was not as impressed as i thought i would be. I like Legal Seafoods much better, but maybe thats just my personal taste. I found the waiters to be accomodating, but when i asked for the gluten-free menu, my server had no clue what that was and said "i've never heard of gluten before!" That was a little unsettling...

Wow, you guys are awesome! Thanks so much - i dont know why this post didnt show up last time i logged on, but i'm glad i went back and searched for it. Jillian, do your parents want to meet up? haha...I cant wait to go, especially after today's snow...i'm so over winter!

ARCHIVED How To Trim Outer Thighs
mookie03 replied to jkmunchkin's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Ha, i was just teasing you about the B&J... My office is at 50th/3rd - i will be moving back to the city on March 13, so i'd love to start something up once i'm settled! -
I am going to Palm Beach, FL next weekend and am looking for dinner places that are Celiac-friendly. I will be spending a day in Jupiter, FL, and i heard there is a PF Changs there so i may just go there, but since I can go there anytime, i would love to go somewhere different if anyone has any ideas. I should mention, i am not looking to break the bank...

ARCHIVED How To Trim Outer Thighs
mookie03 replied to jkmunchkin's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hey Jillian! Obviously, i dont think you NEED to lose weight but at the same time, no one here is judging you for wanting to be able to fit in your pants! i am a very active person but your trouble spots are exactly the same as mine. In the past few months, i have gained some weight in exactly those spots, so i know how you feel. For me, it is the...
