I JUST read something about this....and now I can't remember where. I think it was in the GIG Quarterly magazine (put out by the Gluten Intolerance Group). I don't know if you can call them (or go to their website, www.gluten.net, and request a copy). I have a yearly membership, so I got it in the mail. Anyway, if you are eating gluten-free pancakes,...

I LOVE PF Changs! I get the Chang's Spicey Chicken with NO Chili paste and no chili flakes (ie-no spice) and it is GOOD!

We went for a week 2 years ago. We ate at the Outback, PF Changs, Emeril New Orleans Fish House, Maggianos, and a Wolfgang Pucks place. I was very careful and talked to the manager everywhere we went. It was GREAT!

I eat at Taco Bell every now and then. I get the tosada or the zesty chicken border bowl with no red strips and no dressing. This is from their website: Suggestions for Wheat and Gluten Sensitive Individuals - Tostada - Chicken Fiesta Taco Salad (order without the shell and without the Red Strips) - Chicken Express Taco Salad (order Chicken instead...

Yeah, it was really cool to go there and order ANYTHING and know that it was gluten-free because the whole place is ONLY gluten-free! Very Cool! (Talking about Little Aussie Bakery, NOT Chuys!)

I love the Changs Spicey Chicken, but I order it without the Chili Paste, because I don't really like the spice, just the fried-like chicken, and the onion flavor left when there is no chili paste

We had an Accent and we really liked it. We named it Zippy because it could whip right into small parking spots. That was a great car. We bought it for 6300 almost new, and sold it for 6000 about 6 mos later!

Hey dbmamaz, My A.L.C.A.T. test had some funky results too. I called and ask them about the odd results. My top three reactions were to strawberries, sweet potatoes, and cauliflower. I love strawberries and sweet potatoes, but I hate c-flower. I did what they suggested, and cut out all of the foods (including gluten and gliadin-both in the yellow range...

Hey dbmamaz, I am a big fan of the A.L.C.A.T. test, and I was around when someone (who may or may not have been directly connected to the company) spammed the message board with ads. It was pretty ugly. Scott replaced the word with lame advertisment because back then, it really was. I even called A.L.C.A.T. and told them that if they were behind the...

Hey Jazmine, I think these are different places. The Chuy's in Texas are only in Texas. There are only three locations, and they are a local thing. That sounds like a different chain, with the same name though. Stinks though, I wish there were Chuy's (like in Austin) everywhere!!!

I really think you are right. I am going sugar free after new years. I can tell a HUGE difference when I eat a high carb meal and when I don't....

I just wanted to add to the great responses. I have had terrible trouble talking to my family about going gluten-free (and getting tested for Celiac Disease). I have basically ruined my relationship with my father. I am so worried about them and their health (like my sister, who is PREGNANT!!!) but they brush me off. My uncle was diagnosed 7 years ago...

Ditto. You just have to call your insurance company and request your EOB statement. But I have BC/BS (but they go by state, like BC/BS of California, or BC/BS of Virginia) and I know that they don't cover food...they don't cover much, like lab work, and there is a copay on x-rays (for my plan anyway)..... And keep in mind that you might have to pay a...

I don't think they will pay for any food...but you would have to call them and check your exact plan and request your EOB (explaination of benefits) statement. And I don't know about the tax bread. I have heard about it, but you would have to itemize your taxes, keep amazing records, and be really careful with the IRS rules. So I just don't bother......
