    Looking for recipes involving hemp seeds. I bought them to add to hot rice cereal, but I'm thinking there are more possibilities. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

    I think this is your best solution. Just make sure people know there is a chance of cross contamination. Maybe getting some dedicated equipment would help too, if possible (especially if you happen to use anything plastic or porous).

    Wow that's insane. I recall reading in Pollan's book (and don't quote me here as I don't have the source handy) that #2 Iowa corn (the corn that HFCS comes from) isn't even edible in it's "natural" state. It's grown in mass quantities simply for the purpose of being turned into additives. Yuck.

    I'm from San Diego and I'm not there anymore, but I wish I were! There are sooo many great gluten-free options there! Check out Jimbos, Whole Foods, Ranchos Organic Market, Trader Joe's, the farmers markets, Henry's, OB People's Co-op etc. etc. For restaurants check out www.glutenfreeinsd.com. There are some good threads on here with more specific...

    The Omnivore's Dilemma is a fantastic and fascinating read about the corn industry (who knew something about corn could be so interesting, right? LOL). If anyone's interested in learning more about the background of all this, it would be a good place to start.

    This one looks pretty good: Open Original Shared Link There are also quite a few granola recipes that use gluten-free oats, if you can have those.

    :lol: and about the commercials though.

    Ugh the new 12-item kit is EVIL! I couldn't even decide how to fill a six-item kit. Such big decisions :rolleyes:

    Do you have a George Foreman? I loved mine in college. You can easily cook meats (meats are safe) and grill veggies on it. Rice and beans are handy (and very cheap) as well. A rice cooker is another useful item (especially the ones that let you cook rice and steam veggies simultaneously). Have you tried shopping at Trader Joe's? Their prices...

    The gluten protein causes the immune system to attack and destroy the intestines (or just "organs" would be fine). I don't explain it to my friends though. Most of them just know I have some sort of mysterious and severe adverse reaction to certain common foods.

    That is a great little place. Thanks for the tips.

    Oh no, now I must order stuff.

    These? NEWMAN-O's Product Description: Cr

    I agree with the idea of bringing all your own food. I've done it many times on weekend trips (it's not too hard if it's just a weekend). It might seem like a hassle but really beats getting sick.

    Living Harvest Hemp Milk is gluten free.

    That's your problem right there. Ya have to grocery shop. Just walk over to the meat section after work and buy some meat. Then walk over to the produce section and buy lots of vegetables. No label reading required. Cook it up when you get home and bring some for lunch the next day (just stick it in the fridge when you get there and eat it cold for...

    Sorry....my earlier post was meant to say: there's no reason why you shouldn't bring plenty of food with you.

    First, try to take the time to breathe and relax. It's a whole lot easier to live with celiac disease if you give yourself a little time each day to think about and prepare some food (it's actually a necessity, even if it seems like you don't have time for it). I'm on the go all day so fridges and microwaves aren't options for me either. To make...

    Today I bought some organic red wine vinegar, fair trade black tea, and an amazing organic dark chocolate called Vivani. Hmmm...yesterday I bought my favorite spicy vanilla iced tea called Tee-Ja-Vu. Wow so this is where all my money's going. Good thing I worked overtime all summer. I think tomorrow I will buy some organic chicken (about $12 per...

    Maybe you could make it yourself with coconut oil.

    I think grilled chicken vs. fried was an honest mistake that most (non-celiac) people wouldn't think twice about. Life (for me anyway) is a lot easier if I don't ever, ever expect others to provide me with food. Always just go to the events, assume nothing will be safe to eat, and enjoy the people around you. Eat beforehand and stick a couple energy bars...

    I wouldn't even use the word "gluten," as in my opinion, the specific protein you can't eat should be irrelevant to them. Something along the lines of "dietary restrictions" should work.
  23. Mango04
    I've done it (gluten, dairy and soy-free). No problems. Don't expect to eat elaborate meals in restaurants, but backpakers don't do this anyway.

    If you want a parm substitute, Open Original Shared Link is great.
  25. Mango04
    Wow, how nice. They actually seem to know what they are talking about. I do like their lotus rice protein shampoo
