    Yes, but this does not cover barley, rye, oats.

    I thought caramel was a no-no. Come to think of it, I'm not sure where I got that idea, but it has been solidly in my mind. Recently, I've seen a couple of references to items that contain caramel as being gluten-free. A cake recipe and most recently some kind of candy. Is caramel always a concern? A concern under certain conditions? Never a concern...

    I know where I wanna go for our next vacation! Forget the Grand Canyon. Who needs a bunch of red dirt with a big hole in it....SAFE FRIED CLAMS!! Nothing beats Celiac to help establish real priorities.

    I 2nd this recipe. You can see how good it is by the 5 star rating from 55 users Open Original Shared Link REALLY yummy. My entire gluten eating family loves it. I also 2nd (or 3rd) Pamela's chocolate cake mix. It is MUCH better with the sour cream added in the "rich" version. Ditto what I said above about my family. For both of these I use the...

    Do you have the Hormel brand in your area? Hormel chili WITH beans are on the Hormel gluten free product list. (I haven't checked in the last couple of mos, so you need to check for yourself). Hormel's chili without beans does contain wheat. As others have said, there are more "gotcha's" than can be uncovered just reading the ingredient lists of some...

    I can't think of a lot of recommendations in Memphis. There is an Outback on Hacks Cross Rd that I would have recommended, because I have eaten there safely probably a dozen times. Last weekend, however, I was severely glutened by them. In Memphis, there is a Carrabbas (sp?) on Poplar Ave. No personal experience, but I hear they are Celiac-friendly...

    My GI put me on Flora Q when I was diagnosed with Celiac. It's over-the-counter but most pharmacies keep it behind the counter so you have to ask. Highly recommended.

    I second the vote for Wildfire Grill in Atlanta. It's out near the Perimeter Mall, so may be a bit of a trek, but SOOOOO good, and you won't really feel like you're having to limit your options. Their gluten free menu is extensive and well-rounded. Do make sure they know that you eat gluten free by medical necessity, not by choice. They say, "Oh, it...

    ARCHIVED Gluten Free Oats

    jaten replied to rsm's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    In addition to the cc issue of most brands of oats, there is the additional concern of a protein in oats called avenin. Some celiacs react to avenin similar to gluten. Please google for more information before making a decision either way. There is also an article here at celiac.com that provides a useful starting point in your decision-making. https...

    I just had a look online, and the 2 you mentioned specifically, Santa Fe Grill and Chicken Herb indeed do not list a questionable ingredient. (Sorry, absolutely no offense, I just have learned to read, read, read as much as reasonable for myself) Malt Extract is listed as an ingredient in the Classic Beef RiceXpress even though it carries a gluten free...

    Be careful with the Lunberg Farms RiceXpress. I know many (all-?) say gluten free right on the front, but read the ingredients. At least one of the flavors that is marked gluten-free, lists Malt Extract as an ingredient. My understanding is that malt can come from rice, but I have twice e-mailed Lundgren Farms for clarification of their Malt Extract since...

    ARCHIVED Melt Down

    jaten replied to jaten's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I agree with you. I think pity parties are probably just a part of human nature. It can be easy to pout about hardships in life, about not having it as good as someone else. What we do with those feelings after a reasonable period of time is key. Rather than continue to look at who may have it better in areas we can't control, it's important to realize...

    ARCHIVED Melt Down

    jaten replied to jaten's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Thank you all so very much!!! Just had to report, I'm back to my former mindset; my resentment is almost completely gone. The lifestyle change brought about by Celiac runs circles around not being around to have a lifestyle. I have Celiac. It's not an option. I'm back on top of the game. My feelings have caught up with my head. You're...

    ARCHIVED Melt Down

    jaten replied to jaten's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Thank you all for the tips and the support. I can't believe I'm still in a funk this a.m. Seriously, I have read about how so many experience anger/resentment issues after diagnosis. I honestly didn't. I am struggling more now for the past 12-18 hrs than in the entire past 1 1/2 years. Tarnalberry, I think you're right. It would have been easier...

    Ok, I'm just having a huge melt down pity party. Those of you who have read my posts before know I don't get down. I've always been glad for a diagnosis that was easy to manage (relative to some of the big diseases). Tonight, I'm diving head-first into my 2nd major pity party since my Celiac diagnosis in Dec., 95. I didn't suddenly get stupid. ...

    Perhaps usually this holds true, but I can vouch for not always. 6+ mos strictly gluten free and the scan showed my gallbladder functioned at 0%, no stones, but zip, zero, nada function. Despite a very low-fat diet of almost exclusively rice, baked chicken and some fruit, pretty much daily I had severe, sharp pain & would break out in a cold sweat; I...

    How do you know it's rancid? Hope that's not a stupid/obvious question. I grind a reasonable amount at one time and keep the extra in a ziploc in the fridge (enough that I am set for about 1 month). Should I not be doing that?

    YOU, TOO??? What is up with that? When these pour, silly fools ask such ridiculous questions during a meal, I'm thinking, "You really don't want to ask this right now...you REALLY don't." But to say that is almost as bad as the explanation. My euphemism has always been, "digestive issues."

    Pamela's is WONDERFUL in a bread machine. (I have a zojirushi). GFP is also good, but Pamela's is my preference. It's great with just water, but I usually add about 1/4 c Dari-Free & the balance water. I also have started adding about 1/4 cup flax meal (self ground from seeds) to the dry. Good for you Bev! You'll love the ease of a bread machine...

    Pamela's chocolate cake mix using the recipe on the side of the bag that uses sour cream. Oh my gosh...VERY moist, VERY chocolate. Even my very discriminating, gluten-loving in-laws raved about this one! For frosting I made the recipe on the back of Hershey's cocoa. For yellow cake, the best I've found is not a mix, but this recipe... Open Original...

    jaten replied to FeedIndy's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Oh YES!! That low-carb thick burger was/is awesome!!! I'm not sure when I'll have a chance to write the company, but if someone does, I'd love to hear their reply. I LOVED that lettuce-wrapped burger!! If it's still gluten free, I still won't return to the location convenient to me, but I'll give other locations a go when I travel. I can't help but...

    By golly that is brilliant!
