    i've quit smoking many times, but i think this last time i quit is for good and it was easy and i didn't make my family 'pay' for it by, because i wasn't going through sudden withdrawal what made this time i quit different? i took welbutrin it removed my desire to smoke (couldn't taste it anymore), but because i was hooked, i still smoked - but...

    while i haven't been there, i'd bet that the schooner Open Original Shared Link on the nautical mile could do a good gluten-free diner. legal seafood is only a few miles away in roosevelt field pf chang is up there near there too but in freeport, i don't know of any specific gluten free places, nor have i had first hand experiences good luck

    there's a wendy's in the main food court. it's outside of security. other than that, i can't help you out, but at least you won't starve if you go for the chili and baked potato

    wow - i hadn't heard about this place before. I've been going to risoterria every 2 weeks. i'd love to go more often, but it takes too long to get to and costs too much. this place sounds like it's better on both. i'll have to check it out thanks for the heads up!

    i've only had the bards tale the first time i had it, it brought tears to my eyes - it's that good ahhhhhhhhhhh

    maybe you did this, but if not, it might work for you next time when invited for a meal, say that you would like to accept the offer, however, because of a medical issue, you have a very limited diet, and can't eat a lot of things. If the person inviting you want to make an effort, they will ask what you can or can't eat, and you might be a happy...

    this is what I do as well, and it has been working well. That said, I avoid chain restaurants, and try to stick to better restaurants in general. business travel forces me to dine out often. One goofy thing is that the card that i printed that i found online doesn't mention Malt - and malt is hidden in soooooo much stuff. what's up with that? ...

    Random Guy replied to Azzie's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

I used to get stressed about restaurants - very stressed, but i've gotten better i try to be nice - really nice - to the servers when explaining my requirements I always hand them a printed card with the things i can't eat highlighted i always choose something...

    trader joe's yogurt, other than vanilla, is gluten free although it's likely that if there's a trader joe's near you, you probably already knew that

    thanks, yes, I emailed them a little while ago. I should have started checking into this a long time ago. being a procrastinator makes celiac that much more challenging thanks

    I'm going to stay at the RIU all inclusive in Jamaica this week. In the past, when I've been to the Carribean, the food has been generally naturally gluten free. But I've stayed at very great places (on business) before. This place is not a 5 star hotel. Anyone ever done an all inclusive? How did it go? thanks!

    oops, Michelle, my response wasn't directed at you of course, it looked like it was, being that I quoted you. but that's only because I'm not that familiar with the reply functionality. enjoy your canadian fries. -rg

    irregardless of gluten, mcD's every day, or any other fast food every day, is not something anyone who really thinks about and cares about their health would eat. go rent supersize me -rg

    so i used corn starch, thanks to jerseyangels quick response. i was kneading the dough, just like the directions said, but it started sticking to my hands and after a while, it was almost all stuck to my hands. my kids heard me, obviously at a loss for what to do. one got a spoon, another a knife, and they scraped the dough off. i used a rolling...

    so to set this up, i'm a pizza fanatic who started this gluten free segment of my life in January 06. I've had gluten free pizza once, and it was ok so today i'm going to make myself a pizza my mouth is watering just thinking about it. i've got Gillian's frozen pizza dough. i defrosted it in the refrigerator, as it says on the directions. the...

    hey cody just a thought on "you just have to learn how to live with it" tell your dad you're doing just that - learning to live with it. it's not so bad - I've been gluten free for 10 months now. I didn't used to eat a lot of fruits or vegetables, but strangely enough, i really like them - alot! and today, I had the best lunch and the most...

    interesting... a few weeks back, I had to throw out my tuna packets. i was like "you've got to be kidding me - tuna is a solid!" to which they responded "but it's packed in water. toss it or check your luggage" this was my back-up meal in case nothing else offered at someone's home was good for me - for the next 5 meals. "toss it" i disgustedly...

    i think there may be a market that is ok with this labeling. some people are ok with the possibility of cc others aren't this label allows us to make the choice i appreciate thier honesty (while not eating thier products) rg
