    I wouldn't use the spread in the tub in that situation. Just wouldn't be comfortable. But when you think down to it and there is a pristine top still on the other half, you should be fine, but it isn't devoid of risk. There is also the perception problem of people seeing you use the same tub as the bread crumby knives were in and not being taken seriously...

    Welcome to the forum, Meowndy. A fellow crazy cat lady? When you get a chance take a look at some of the discussions in the Super sensitive category. There are some things there that you may find helpful since the regular Celiac rules sometimes aren't enough for that group of people.

    There are a ton of threads discussing the possibility of CC at Chipotle. Any time you eat out there is a level of risk, and I like being able to see what they are doing with my own eyes at Chipotle. Imagine all the things you stop them from doing (one time the guy was putting on new gloves and his glove hit the flour tortillas) that they aren't stopped from...

    I am just going to throw out the short quick answer here: No, you cannot eat sourdough made with wheat flour if you have celiac disease. You are correct that the sourdough cultures don't feed on the gluten.

    Hi Simon, Welcome to the forum. This thread you are replying to is ten years old. Any information has probably changed since then, so please be aware of that, and also the people from the original discussion may not be around any more. It is a good idea, especially when using the search function to look up specific things, to take note of the date...

    My celiac friend posted on facebook today that in the aldi mailer she got, it had a page full of gluten-free stuff. It is their own brand, says limited time only so limited quantities.

    I watched an episode on Americas Test Kitchen this past weekend and they made a wild rice and mushroom soup. I think you have to register to get recipes on their site but it should be a pretty easy to find recipe in other places.

    ARCHIVED Back Up Food

    Ha! I bought a bigger purse for my snacks, too!

    I buy it regularly and really like it. White rice pasta can overcook, but not as easily as corn pasta, so don't overcook it, and yes it is better with the butter added. I haven't seen those! I would buy them once and enjoy, and then not again cause they are bad for me, haha.

    Ooh, what kind is it? (Corn, Corn/Rice, Brown Rice?)
  11. LauraTX
    Ah yes, if you have access to it and want to impress someone with a dessert, whole vanilla beans are the way to go. I haven't come across a vanilla that contained gluten, but I only buy real vanilla so I haven't looked at any of the artificial extracts. I usually buy the one on sale out of a few good quality brands. Perhaps my next project should be...
  12. LauraTX
    I do that all the time! I will pull out a recipe and change something and not write it down. I have gotten a little better, but still hang myself up sometimes, haha!

    One would think that the activity of the antibodies would probably differ with some people's being over the top in their response. Maybe this will come out of future research, because Celiac research really has a long way to go still.

    Just "White Vinegar" on a label does refer to distilled vinegar. Just as the distillation process with alcohol, the same goes for vinegar. On your other thread about alcohol in vanilla, Peter said "The protein can not be vaporized in the still because the molecule is too heavy. The resulting distillate is always gluten-free." And it applies to distilled...

    Living without just announced they are changing their name to Living Without's Gluten free and more. On the post I saw they said it was because you don't have to go without as much these days compared to the gluten-free stone ages just a few years ago. I really haven't tried any magazines, but have thought about subbing to them and gluten-free living...

    My "Paula Deen Dinner" as I called it last night turned out great. Decided what the heck and made everything full fat and a ton of gravy on it all. Well I oven baked the breaded chicken because frying is a pain, but it was one of the best meals I have eaten in a long time. I was missing gluten filled chicken fried chicken. Tonight will be sauteed...

    Like squirming said, you'll have to ride these symptoms out. Being on your head complicates what you can put on it to soothe it. However, unless you have had a proven contact allergy to wheat, it is unlikely that the possible gluten in the shampoo was the cause. There are many things in body products that can cause topical reactions, and being mother and...

    The general rule for substituting flour blends is, if your blend already contains a gum, don't add it. If your blend does not contain a gum, it will always need it added. Pamelas uses guar gum in their blend, so you will want to omit the xanthan gum in the recipe.

    Welcome to the forum, Maeve. Sorry you got glutened by those beans- I always buy Bush's. But do note that this whole thread is 4+ years old, and any info posted above has possibly changed.

    There probably are some doctors that would give a diagnosis if say, a person was already gluten-free with a good record of previous symptoms, and can't tolerate what a gluten challenge does to them, and can't get a biopsy and gluten eating bloodwork. I would speculate some would be comfortable with that and many would not. Severe symptoms that correlate...

    I do think the one time I went there pre-celiac days, I may have had a bad lot (and didn't know 2 small fries would feed a large family, lol). There are a ton of good burger places around here but of course most of those I can't eat at now. May be time for me to give them another try. I bring dinner to my husband at work quite a bit, and there is one...

    For thriftiness sake, I usually use white corn tortillas in the place of something a gluten eater would use a flour tortilla in, like soft tacos or burritos. White corn tastes less corn-y than yellow. I like Rudi's gluten-free fiesta tortillas, but because they are about a dollar apeice, I only use them for quesadillas. Yellow corn tortillas are good...
  23. LauraTX
    I have gotten into using white corn tortillas for everything. I will use Rudi's only if I am making quesadillas. Yellow corn for beef enchiladas. The white corn has a less corn-y flavor to it. So, yesterday I made steak with mini corns on the cob and broccoli/cauliflower/carrot blend. I also made pamelas baking mix banana nut muffins (on the bag...

    Qdoba is very similar to chipotle and also good. Chips are fried in shared oil. They have queso! (mmmm queso) The one near me has wonderful employees who are great once you say gluten. Chipotle, Wendys baked potato (ask for it wrapped) and chili and a frosty, but I get sick of wendys because I am always stuck eating there on road trips. Chik fil...

    Labcorp would be a great way to go. I am one of their best customers, albeit unwillingly. Labcorp and Quest diagnostics are the two giants of the medical lab world.
