    You can buy against the grain crusts!!! I have seen them at a few places... any Sprouts stores within reasonable distance to you? Unless they have a version they only sell to restaurants... but I agree they are very good. I am also not a fan of the Udi's crusts. I think they'd be good for kids especially when you need to make them their own pizza. But...

    Sorry to arrive to this thread late. SMRI gave you some great info. I have Celiac disease and also have Common Variable Immunodeficiency with IgG and IgA deficiencies and reduced vaccine response. CVID and low immunoglobulin levels can cause false negatives in some Celiac blood tests, and false mild positives in biopsy samples for Celiac diagnosis. You...

    Jelly Belly jelly beans are gluten-free. I periodically pick up some cherry ones as a treat for myself. Looks like they are free of other stuff, too : Open Original Shared Link

    For ceramic, I would say to just personally assess how porous it may be. A nice intact glaze on it, you are probably okay. Nooks and crannies or places where things can soak in and never get cleaned out well= toss. After I did my kitchen cleanout post-dx, I gave away all my nice stuff to friends, some older things to goodwill, and I still have a box...

    Without delving into the medical history of the OP, people can have Celiac disease with no symptoms with exposure to gluten. The intestinal damage is still happening. I am one of them, and it is commonly referred to as a "Silent Celiac"... Open Original Shared Link. That is why proper testing is so important to have when there are inconclusive symptoms...

    The pizza crust is decent, makes a big pizza if you pat it out thin. Not a neutral flavor to it, though... can't put my finger on what it is. But if I am at the store trying to scrounge for dinner I will go for that sometimes. Had the cookies once, but I like to make my own cookie dough... because I have an excuse to eat it...ROFL

    CC at ice cream shops can be an issue, but as said above, if you are lucky enough to be able to talk them into washing a scooper for you and getting it from a new container, you will be better off. Some ice cream places have soft serve and I usually get that at a local place I go to that is usually so busy there is no point in asking for special treatment...

    When you search, go to the main forum page and search from there. It will auto default to search within the topic you are currently viewing, so it can make things come up goofy.

    It is good to keep a frozen pizza on hand when you are being adventurous in the kitchen... LOL I have been so busy, I ate frozen pizza twice this week. Not a slimming diet, for sure... LOL

    I am sure it is possible for the cantina bowl with its gluten-free ingredients, to be prepared safely if the time and care was put in to it. But the ability to be prepared safely in a standard taco bell kitchen... that is where the CC happens. Same thing applies with the sausage thing. While it is naturally gluten-free, they are probably using the utensils...
  11. LauraTX
    Where are you going to put all of those.... down your hatch? LOL
  12. LauraTX
    Open Original Shared Link Firstly, overall, taco bell is not going to be the kind of place where a Celiac can safely eat and avoid CC. I would avoid eating there. Nachos on that list are shown as prepared in common equipment. It may be the chips are fried in the same oil as their gluten containing items, which would make them definitely not gluten...

    I have seen this as well. I never could find anything on it, but I didn't try very hard since I had other options. I know a few store brands, including Kroger, that say gluten-free on them. Technically chicken broth should just be chicken+water, but I would rather be safe than sorry. Have you emailed the companies yet? For frozen chicken breasts...

    Tonight I am making chicken stir fry. May make it curry style. Yum

    Welcome to the forum! I made your reply into a new post, so you can get more personalized conversation. What brand of noodles did you eat? It can take a long time for things to calm down after going gluten-free, so just stick to it and things should continue to improve overall. Feel free to post any questions you need help with!

    Hopefully the narrow list is just because they want to be certain, for now. I saw their booth in one of the pics on a facebook post, and it had me wondering. Perhaps they will get some more info out and the list will be larger, soon!
  17. LauraTX
    Great to hear your doctor was so open with the testing! Three vials should be good, let us know what it comes back as!

    If you had mild symptoms from some possible CC... I predict Anal Armageddon if you go for that cake.... LOL. (That is how we say "D" in our house...haha) On the flip side, if you like rich chocolate cake, pick up a King Arthur Flour gluten-free cake mix, bake it, and top it with some home made chocolate ganache. (Just chocolate melted into cream, two ingredients...

    As a person with multiple disabilities that can fall under the ADA, it is just easier to sometimes tell people what is going on and ask for their courtesy. Then if that does not produce results, you can go up the chain, but usually at that point you are going to need to do official documentation and such, and that is a giant pain.

    I bring my own buns into places. I just wait until after I get my food and then bring it out and no one ever notices. Some people have had issues when they are obvious about it/ask them to put the bun on there for them instead of doing it themselves. I have common variable immunodeficiency and lupus along with Celiac, and many other secondary conditions...

    Yay! Can you be the person who eats the rest of the cake when I really want just one slice of delicious cake, but don't want the calories of the whole cake, but pretty much end up eating the whole thing over the course of a few days anyways?

    If you have the gene, you should let them know and encourage them to go get screening done. Check out the following links: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link I would probably wait until all your results are back so you can give them a full set of info.

    You're welcome. Do note that the tinkyada pasta, most of them are 1 pound bags. A lot of gluten-free pastas are 2/3 that size, so check the price per ounce and it may not be as bad as it looks. Walmart sells it, too, I want to say I usually buy it at whatever store for 3 something per package. I may be wrong, though, I tend to just throw the gluten-free...

    Celiac disease is a little bit more cut and dry than a diet to control diabetes. If you have Celiac disease, gluten=bad. Please read through the links the previous posters have provided for you, they put a lot of thought into digging them up for you, and the sources put great effort into putting that information out there. Click around and read all the...

    As karen said, that can definitely just be a preggo thing. Of course, it wouldn't hurt to double check everything that is going into your mouth, and if you are really bothered by it, go see the doctor. Always want to be cautious with a gluten-free bun in the oven
