    I had the chocolate mousse one. I didn't notice the crust being particularly offensive, but maybe that has to do with the fact that you don't cook this one, you just thaw it. I was surprised at how tasty it was. I was really expecting the worst...dairy and gluten free, c'mon! But even my non-gluten-free partner thought it was pretty tasty. They are fairly...

    Yes, ditto the massman curry suggestion. Really, all of the Thai curries should be safe, but the other ones will probably be spicier and some of us can't handle the extra heat. The Massaman is just really soothing and like comfort food. As another person mentioned, Pad Thai is usually safe as well. If you decide to go with one of the other entrees...

    I still get strange stomach noises even though I've been strictly gluten-free for almost a year now. I haven't been able to pinpoint what triggers it. It is sometimes very loud and very weird, and completely has a mind of its own. It's certainly not a good thing, but not as bad as my worst symptoms (nausea and brain fog). Something that might help you...

    As far as I know, there is no gluten free beer available in the state of Georgia yet. We have very convoluted liquor laws that make getting any new alcohol products in the state about as difficult as applying for sainthood. I have inquired with Whole Foods and the like and they have told me the ball is really in the beer maker's court- they need to start...

    Amen to this thread! I guess it is somewhat comforting to know that so many other people are going through the same exact agony that I am, but it does make one wonder how many of their co-workers and others they come in contact with on a daily basis are going through their own little personal hell. I have far less gas now that I'm on a strict diet. But...

    It was on the historic downtown square in Clayton...I can't remember the name of the little restaurant. I know it wasn't the Grapes and Beans. I tried to go there first but it was packed. As a side note, they don't allow any substitutions at Grapes and Beans, in case you are ever in the area. I'm guessing stuff is pre-packaged, so probably not a good...

    ARCHIVED Thai Food?

    kimjoy24 replied to ebrbetty's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    You might also consider the Massaman curry. It tends to be the milder of the Thai curries- I just had some over the weekend (the restaurant that I went to normally serves it mildly spiced so that's how I ordered it). Definitely on the comfort food side of things, and light on spicy in the sense of heat. It's a Muslim/Indian influenced curry, so it has...

    Most of the servers I have dealt with have been very helpful, and no one has been outright rude, but I did have an "ignorant server" experience recently when I went out of town. I was in this podunk town in N. GA, and I was dining at a cute little "sip tea and eat chicken salad" kind of southern restaurant. I ordered the one salad on the menu that looked...

    I have a similar reaction with lactose/casein. I tested postive for both, however, when I went on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (before I was tested), I discovered that I could tolerate almost all cheeses (especially the hard ones), and butter. However, cream in sauces and desserts would give me a reaction. I've actually read that even though parmesan...

    Before I discovered my gluten intolerance, I went on the SCD and noticed that the majority of my digestive issues disappeared in just a week. And I tend to be a pessimist about such things, so I'm not exaggerating about my personal success with the diet. I had tried so many other diets for IBS and other ailments and none of them had the profound and speedy...

    I'm in Atlanta as well, Midtown area. I wish I had been diagnosed back in college, when I first started going to the doctor for my "stomach issues" instead of over a decade later!

    I haven't been to Maddy's, but I'm a barbecue lover and I've noticed that perusing many barbecue sauce recipes online, some include soy sauce and/or Worcestershire sauce. When it comes to sides, I usually try to order collard greens if they have them. Barbecue can be a bit tricky sometimes because many places have a "secret recipe" sauce and they may not...

    Oh yes, I definitely say "wheat allergy" when dining out. I know we should be out there "educating" the public correctly but when my health is at stake, I do whatever it takes to stay gluten free!

    ARCHIVED Daily Candy

    Yes, it's not new, I just happened to stumble upon it, as they are starting up an Atlanta edition soon, and I wanted to see some sample posts before subscribing.

    ARCHIVED Daily Candy

    kimjoy24 posted a topic in Publications & Publicity

    Daily Candy is this daily email newsletter on a wide variety of topics, but all with a focus on what's new, hip, and cool. I was pleasantly surprised to see a witty profile of a "gluten allergy", along with a link to Happy Happy Happy Bakery in NYC: Open Original Shared Link

    Just FYI, if anyone is in Atlanta looking for a trendy place to have a drink and a bite to eat, M!X proved to be very gluten-free aware and accommodating. When I asked if a particular sauce had flour in it, not even referring to gluten intolerance by name, the server immediately was on top of things, and took my menu to the chef, who went down the entire...

    Thanks for the feedback. I decided the liquid stuff was too risky, but I found a good powdered vitamin in a rice base that is gluten/casein free at Whole Foods. It's called All One Powder and I've been taking it for the past week or so. It seems to really agree with me. The biggest change is that my stool has bulked up nicely, perhaps I'm absorbing nutrients...

    So my mom sent me a Swiss Colony fruit platter for Xmas. It has dates, apricots, figs, etc, with coconut covered dates in the middle. The latter is what concerns me the most, as I know often they are dusted in some kind of gluten-free substance (oats or flour) to prevent sticking. I emailed the company, and they responded back that they can't verify if...

    I was looking for a gluten-free/CF liquid vitamin supplement and asked the owner at a local health food store. She did some quick Internet research, and showed me the Nature's Path Source of Life Liquid. After she left, I looked over the ingredients, and was immediately suspicious. Young Barley Leaf, Barley Grass Juice, and rice bran, along with spirulina...

    That's interesting you bring this up, I just got accidentally glutened by Annie's Naturals Worcestershire Sauce. It had soy sauce in it, and I bought it before I understood the dangers of soy sauce. Then significant other made a pot roast, added a couple of tablespoons to it, and the rest is history. However, what I did find in my research is that the...

    I can't say mine is worse but before I went totally gluten-free I noticed I started getting what I refer to as Post-menstrual Syndrome, in addition to the common Pre-menstrual syndrome. This has continued since going totally gluten-free earlier this year. Basically it consists of bad GI symptoms similar to a glutening, and lasts for a few days at least...

    I started suffering from vertigo over a year ago. My issues are primarily when looking up, though I have had the head rushes, a "giddy" feeling, especially when walking in stores with lots of aisles. I don't know if mine is gluten-related or not, as the symptoms have cropped back up again in the past couple of months, even after being on a strict gluten...

    I was on the SCD for almost a year and I agree about its effectiveness. It is very strict and time-consuming, but I noticed almost a complete turnaround of my digestive issues in just a week. I also discovered things I could tolerate just fine (like hard cheese) even though I've tested positive for a lactose/casein intolerance. I didn't do the yogurt...

    I had a very serious bout with vertigo that began last fall and continued on through this spring. It was so bad that I could barely keep my head up at work and do my job, which is setting in front of a computer all day, which made my symptoms much worse. I'm much better now, but it still crops up from time to time, and yes, it does seem worse around my...

    Came across this chocolate covered toffee bar at the Atlanta location of World Market. I emailed the company and they provided the following response: "Thank you for your inquiry regarding our toffee. Yes, we are gluten-free with regards to our Aussie Toffee. Our toffee has only butter, sugar, chocolate (milk or dark), and almonds. If you have any other...
