  1. It could be a nightshade intoelrance - some folks with celiac disease have that. Eggs, apples, most raw fruit, an abundance of OJ, an abundance of fried food and even champagne has give me the big "D" on occasion.
  2. Happy Birthday Rachel!
  3. I suppose I understand what you are saying. But if you really believe that, then why even leave the house? Why eat anything that is not a meat, fruit or vegatable? Right? Kinda seems like too much of a "bubble-world" to me... BB p.s. Millet is Gluten Free for the poster above Deb.
  4. One question: Do you always follow the gluten free diet or have your friends seen you "cheat" before? I know it sounds stupid, but if they have seen you "cheat", they are less likely to take you seriously. If you follow the gluten free diet, they are being immature and foolish.
  5. Mrs. Leepers has an easy gluten free beef strogonoff mix. I have found it in Smith's grocery stores (in the organic and health foods aisle) and Whole Foods. BB
  6. I have read the Food Allergen Law again. I have not seen any exception for any foreign made food starches. Regardless of where they are made, if the starch is made from a source of one of the Allergens targeted by the 2006 Law, then it must be disclosed. Darlindeb, I may be mistaken, but if I remember correctly, the words cornstarch and modified corn starch...
  7. Here is Kraft's Policy Open Original Shared Link BB p.s. Thanks for the clarification Scott!
  8. Here is what I usually get: Appetizer - Edamames - steamed salted beans in the pod Sushi - Usually 6 pieces "Nigiri" style, which is traditional. Normally, I get Tuna, Salmon and Octopus. Depending on how they treat their seaweed (if they put soy sauce on it, which is common - the I don't get it), I sometimes get a Philly roll or california roll ...
  9. If it helps, Here are the items I purchased when I first got diagnosed 1. Toaster - A must have! 2. My own pans - I went cheap at first and got better ones later. 3. Mini George Foreman Grill - it makes things so much easier. 4. My own utensils - cheap at first, then nice later 5. My own cuttting boards 6. My own dish washing...
  10. Here is the link for restaurnats in Bozeman, MT Open Original Shared Link They have a Wendys and McDonaldsm, so you will have some choices. It looks like there is also quite a few steakhouses (they have an OUTBACK!!!) and cafes. The website has all of the contact numbers, so get crackin! bb
  11. I buy the whole foods multi-vitamin...it says no gluten right on the label.
  12. Glad to hear you are feeling better!! Recently, I quit smoking and removed hard liquor from the diet. I have felt WORLDS better... My energy level is sky high and I sleep much better at night... I still enjoy a hearty glass of wine or an occasional redbridge or 5, but no more booze for this guy! For meals, I love getting creative with Tinkyada noodles...
  13. For the record, I ONLY eat Hebrew National Hot Dogs. I have a friend that works in their food science department. He told me all of their hot dogs are gluten free. I also buy the gluten free hot dog buns at Whole Foods made by Kinninkinnick - they are serviceable but not great...
  14. I can agree on the fact that we should be calling and checking the sources of MFS if we are unsure of the source. I really thought that was Celiac 101 (no offense to newbies). So what where we arguing about if we all agree you should check with the manufacturer if you are unsure?
  15. Liz, My grandfather fathered my father (weird sentence) right before he was deployed. When they returned his effects to my grandmother, one of the items he had was her last letter and pic of my dad when he was born. I don't know why, but its nice to know he got to see his son before he passed (even if it was only a picture). If he hadnt done that (fathered...
  16. Besides all of the current men and women of the armed forces and all of the ones who have lost their lives, today, I remember a person I never met. Cpl. Vernon Huddleston (R.I.P.), my paternal biological grandfather. He served our country in WWII in the army air force. He gave his life for our country. He died on July 4, 1942. His plane was...
  17. thanks for your kind words Amanda, Liz, Momma and Carla (I should have included Tarnalberry and Richard as well). I seriously have no interest in prolonging the thread. I simply want a citation/source or an apology. Its that simple. Yes, that person did attack me by sarcastically calling me an "expert" and a "senior member".
  18. I'm still waiting for the source or citation that says most modified starch in the USA is not corn based. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Still waiting.... All of you guys know (or most of you guys know) that you should be reading ingredients and calling manufacturers on the items you eat. That is Celiac 101. I find it baffling that people on this website are...
  19. Exactly my original point PSAWYER! However, Dr. Guns a Blazing apparently thought Iwas telling a newbie to eat everything that ha s MFS because its all 100% corn based and thus gluten free - which is, of course, absurd... I merely said that most MFS is corn based, which is 100% accurate in the USA. Hopefully, this will not incite another argument on...
  20. This is the only thing I found... <a href="Open Original Shared Link disease=1&gl=us" target="external ugc nofollow">Open Original Shared Link disease=1&gl=us</a> This letter is from the FDA in 2003 in response to a letter from a consumer 2001. Obviously, this does not take the new 2006 allergen laws into account. I trhink...
  21. Folks, I am the one she is quoting. Iam in the process of contacting the FDA for clarification on this issue. If possible, please provuide a source that proves my statement is wrong/false. I will continue to research the matter. BB
  22. "I gained weight prior to diagnosis. Have any of you lost weight? Like in just a couple of days?? I could see where I would lose weight what with only eating fruits, veggies, lean meats, ets. But it seems to be making a huge difference very quickly. Am I detoxing simply by being gluten free? My hair is different and my skin is different. What's the...
  23. I like the cream biscuits, tomato-garlic bread, apple pie, corn bread, pizza crusts
  24. When I ate there, I got my eggs cooked separately in a clean pan as well as my sausage.
