    Also at DFW airport is Salt Lick Barbecue at A16, which has some gluten-free offerings and gluten-free sauces and salsa. (been a while since I ate at that location so re-check but I highly recommend picking up their bottled sauces/salsa on the way out). They are right at the skylink entrance. Speaking of that, Another great thing about DFW airport is the...

    Your body already has a great system in place for waste removal. There is no credible evidence that these products are effective. Your body doesn't have waste building up, as some of the proprietors of these products try to tell you, and they are ineffective remedies for non-existent conditions. Some of the detox and colon cleanses can get dangerous, especially...

    With the elk and deer, you are butchering it pretty on the packagesoon after it is dispatched, so I would think there is still plenty of oxygen left to keep the muscles red. Beef is often aged, like those big parts of cows you see hanging in some butcher shops, so that would give it plenty of time to go purplish. But either way, red does not mean not fresh...

    There are plenty of generic options for Synthroid- levothyroxine- that do not contain gluten. Mylan is the brand I take. As long as you stick with the same manufacturer you won't have the problem of needing to adjust dosing. But if you change manufacturer you need to get new bloodwork done in six weeks. This is why a lot of doctors will prescribe brand...

    I just use brown rice flour or any gluten-free flour that is not a nut flour (no starch to give there), even corn starch is ok but will thicken a lot more than flour. Put in equal parts (by tablespoons) 2 Tbsp Butter, melted and 2 Tbsp flour per cup of liquid. Let the melted butter and the flour cook a little bit on medium heat, then when it starts to get...

    This is actually not correct. If they are adding anything besides the meat, they are going to label it that way. The real reason that statement is on the package is that a lot of shoppers think fresh meat= bright red, and if it is a darker or purple, it is no longer good. It is actually the opposite that is true. The meat surface gets red when it is exposed...

    That meatball recipe looks good, Ive had a variation of that before. The farmrich meatballs in the frozen section are now labeled gluten-free. If you dont want to make hundreds of them, heh

    Made nachos last night. I like to cook up taco meat in batches and freeze for later, makes tired days a breeze. That on top of Bush's refried beans on top of tortilla chips, with a little cheese on top. Plus whatever else floats your boat. Microwave for 30 seconds and then 20 seconds at a time until cheese is melted. Add something like guac instead of...

    Do note that many of the beers they review here are the "Gluten Removed" kind, which I do not recommend Celiacs consume. If you do, it is at your own risk. The comments on new planet are funny, because my husband tried that at a GFAF expo and was gagging, lol. But he also doesn't like regular beer.

    Coconut oil also works great on dry facial skin. Works nice for me since I tend to get allergic reactions to a lot of cosmetics.

    ARCHIVED Mexican?

    LauraTX replied to cwnhokie's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Soy sauce in meat marinades is a common secret ingredient to get that deep umami flavor...not as uncommon as you would think. I specifically ask about it at any new place I go.
  12. LauraTX
    Oh yes we need those!!! I liked those things as a kid, of course, you COULD just smear your own peanut butter on crackers. But a nice thing to have when traveling or with kids.

    Any time I invite relatives over, or people over, usually holidays... I just let them know "Also, since I have an allergy free kitchen, we are going to provide the food, and you can bring the company!" And then if anyone really pushes, you can do napkins, drinks, safer things. One year I had two relatives give me money for about the full cost of Thanksgiving...

    I am like you when something goes wrong, like when I found wheat flour in a chocolate ice cream (Blue Bell). Fury. I stood there in the kitchen yelling "What the -bleep-?!!" over and over... lol...It is kind of like a bad date night. Just have to clean yourself off and move on.

    In the studies you link, they even say that the study is not enough to draw the conclusion to support this myth. A gluten-free diet for a person with Celiac means NO gluten, at all. Please do not buy into the internet myth because you will end up hurting yourself in the process. As you said, stick with the gluten-free bread. If you don't like Udi's as...

    That is awesome! My meal planning is a little less pretty.... just a notebook with a list of dinners and a few lunches off to the side. Fewer people to cook for. But the basic concept is the same...make a list of meals and the stuff you need to buy for them, voila! I have had a few people ask me about meal planning and stuff and they have no clue about...

    For some family friendly recipes that are gluten-free but not too complicated, I like Open Original Shared Link As far as regular cookbooks go, any crock pot cookbook will work for us Celiacs, you just have to sub in gluten-free ingredients which usually is no big deal. There are a lot of websites that do crock pot freezer meals, I have made those up...

    Yay Congrats!!!!! :)

    They probably keep the ingredient list short so they can accommodate all kinds of allergies. Pile it on the top!

    I have been under the weather and not cooking much lately. My husband was going to make gluten-free pancakes last night but ended up basically making crepes due to improper measuring... but they were actually good. LOL

    They are okay and can help in a pinch. For me, it is just easier to buy things individually. To make a meal I have to eat two gopicnics and most of the things in them you can buy separately. Locate some gluten-free beef jerky (old Wisconsin has some, not sure if it is all gluten-free but the turkey bites are good). Get some trail mix/nut mix/nuts/dried...

    No Idea how sunflower oil would be bad for Celiacs... be careful where you get information from on the internet. All of those oils are going to be naturally gluten-free. I use extra virgin olive oil the most for cooking. For things where I want browning or don't want the olive oil taste I use canola oil. I get the canola/soybean oil blend or something...

    Most companies will not say a medication is gluten-free. The standard answer of "There are no gluten ingredients in it but we cannot guarantee there is not and we don't test the finished product", is because pharmaceutical companies don't routinely test for gluten so they are covering their hiney with that statement. Cross-contamination is not going to...

    Pizza/Bread can be one of the hardest things to adapt to when going to gluten-free. Of course it being cold is not a gluten-free thing, LOL.

    Welcome to the forum! Acne is a tricky thing. What works for some may not work for others, and it can have many causes. Sounds like you are doing your best taking care of your face, so hopefully a few people here will have some good advice. I have had a few friends use the proactive system with good results (no idea on ingredients of that), and I have...
