    Thanks Jenvan, thats not comforting though! i will not be using stoneyfield- i mean, arent natural flavors the exact thing we are concerned about with yogurt? Im not stupid enough to think that a yogurt w/ cookie crunchies on it is gluten-free! The only thing that i know of that makes yogurt questionable is the natural flavors (at least thats the case for...

    i always order oil and balsamic vinegar- and i always get it on the side. that way, i know that they didnt mess up and give me balsamic vinagrette, which can have gluten. I dont cook much, but is there a vinegar thats not safe? i thought they were all distilled (shows how knowledgable i am about cooking)

    Aw, thats terrible! When i first went gluten free, i had dreams all the time about eating gluten- usually id wake up just before eating something. I also had very powerful gluten-related dreams when i actually did ingest gluten in some way. But i have never had a dream about not being accepted for it- i guess because everyone in my life has been so supportive...

    i dont know if this is considered cereal but i really like enjoy life granola w/ milk in the morning- i like all the flavors, especially the cinnamon crunch

    wait im confused, eeyor fan said that all stoneyfield farms flavors (except fudge) are gluten-free and this sounds like only the plain one is? I know only plain Dannon is but can you confirm Stoneyfield vanilla yogurt is gluten-free? I almost bought it yesterday but didnt b/c i remembered something about this post that confused me

    that was me! Dont eat there- the pizza does use spelt flour and is in no way gluten free

    Well i think that is exactly why i wanted to know. I spent most of my life loving food, and regardless how sick it made me, i loved it just the same. Sometimes it amazes me how much damage i was doing to my body by turning to bagel, toast, tums (!), etc. every day when i was sick. I always thought those were "safe" foods b/c i thought they were easy to...

    Their OJ makes me a little sick too, ive never been an OJ drinker b/c of it, and like you i thought it was the acid! But it seems like most of their OJs are gluten-free b/c most dont have natural flavors-- is it the cross-contamination problem?

    Maggie- i would try not to freak out about the weight gain, as it is probably your body absorbing what it was not absorbing prior to going gluten free. It may take your body a few months to level off, at which point it will be much easier to lose the weight you have gained. Right now, your body is looking for extra calories, nutrients, etc to replenish itself...

    Ok, ill paint, but i have to warn you its not my best skill!
  12. mookie03
    Yup- i did! Its very convenient for me b/c i can take the train to WP and my dad works right near there - and its only 15 mins from their house...So good!!! and i absolutely love being able to order off the menu w/o having to ask a million questions

    I know! we served them at our holiday party along w/ "gluten-full" carrot cake and cheesecake and guess which was the first to go? Everyone LOVED the brownies and im the only celiac Made me feel like i wasnt missing out on anything

    I know a lot of people have had mixed reviews of pf changs and their service, but i just wanted to mention that i ordered take-out from there last night and it was absolutely delicious. The one around here is always extremely busy and there is always a long wait so it would make me a little nervous to eat there (i always think my chances of being glutened...

    For our holiday party today, my mom bought the Gluten Free Pantry brownie mix so that i can have dessert. First, let me just say that i am a huge dessert person and havent had brownies since going gluten-free. But these are AMAZING!!! take no time at all to make- she bought the package at Mrs. Greens but i am sure they sell it at whole foods as well. My...

    SERIOUSLY??? You've been on the diet since may and have never been glutened? Well, either you are one of those who doesnt experience symptoms or you are just MUCH better than i am at this- and if thats the case, do you want to start cooking for me? Thanks for all the responses, i was actually curious b/c I noticed how much i still rely on bread-like...
  17. mookie03
    Just curious as to what everyone's food of choice is for when they are accidentally glutened... Before i knew it was gluten, my comfort food was always bread, bagels, crackers, etc., which obviously only made it worse! and of course Tums as well, which also aggravated my symptoms- awesome! Now I usually immediately turn to rice cakes w/ peanut butter, tinkyada...

    I love acidophilus- have taken it since i was a kid anytime im on antibiotics. I find that it helps me a lot not only w/ preventing yeast infections but also w/ stomach problems- i always find that antibiotics are tough on my stomach. Glad it helped!

    ok, i will try, but i must warn you that i honestly dont know. It is my understanding that Sake does not have barley in it as it seems to be made exclusively from rice. (google Sake and it will likely confirm that for you). However, the other popular Japanese beverage is Schochu- which can be made from barley and often is. I dont really drink Sake so i...

    Its just that time of year-- one of my clients just gave me homemade pretzels-- they look AMAZING (i think they are garlic & onion flavored)- my roommates love me b/c i am always giving them the presents!
  21. mookie03
    Just to let you know, there are definitely soymilks with gluten and i have been glutened by them- apparently there is sometimes barley in it. Just find out what brand they use- Silk is gluten-free, Westsoy is sometimes not. Feel better!
  22. mookie03
    I agree with this-- after i am glutened, the following week can be widely unpredictable and i will react to foods that i know i dont have problems with. So dont freak out, wait a wk and reintroduce those foods and see how you feel. I know for a fact that i am not sensitive to any other foods, but everything makes me sick after im glutened, even liquids...
  23. mookie03
    haha, aww...thats SO not gluten free! i used to LOVE whole wheat pizza crust though, shame. Guess we'll have to stick w/ Risotteria! we're lucky enough to have 1 place in the city for pizza, right? And yes, at least they are not like Slice and falsely advertising gluten-free pizza!

    hey, theres always next year we jets fans are accustomed to losing, but that doesnt mean we dont enjoy watching the games...i mean, clearly you can tell im a mets fan too- apparently im a glutton for punishment i just wanted to put in a second vote for NY- Jillian and i will pay some of your moving costs or something, right Jillian? haha...

    interestingly enough, i was diagnosed w/ mono when i was a jr in college but never thought i had it... diagnosed by blood test only (after a routine annual physical) and never had a single symptom...so i dont know if it was a false positive or if i had it and was just very lucky. but i had gluten symptoms long before that...since i was born pretty much. ...
