    I'm wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this. I hope so, because I don't want to think that I'm crazy... Every afternoon at work I get bloated like a third-world child and I get gas pains. Bad ones. It happens whether I eat a little food or a lot, beans, raw fruit, or just cereal. I'm absolutely certain that I'm not getting glutened and I never...

    Ok, call me crazy, but that still makes me nervous. I had heard that Kraft barbeque sauce is gluten free, went to buy some last night, and don't you know one of the ingredients is modified food starch! If it's corn starch, why can't they just come out and say it? I got scared and didn't buy it, but I'd kill for barbeque sauce! Plain chicken is so...

    If you feel like dealing with Border Patrol, come down into the states and go to Wegmans (www.wegmans.com) or Feel Rite. Both are good sources of gluten free foods. There is a Wegman's in Niagara Falls (on the US side, but I'm not sure how good it is - they don't all carry the same products). In Amherst, (not far from NF) there is a good Wegman's and...

    It is my understanding that all antibiotics can cause yeast infections since they kill ALL bacteria in the body, including good bacteria that is supposed to be there. My mom (the nurse) has always told me to eat lots of yogurt when taking antibiotics to avoid yeast infections. I seem to always get them anyway...

    I wanted to share this with someone who could appreciate it... So last night I was rummaging around in my kitchen cupboard for some chocolate chips I had hidden away for when I had a sweet craving. And you know what I found? A box of gluten! A whole box of it just open in my cupboard! Argh! My mom gave my boyfriend her bread machine about a year...

    Pretty much, our bread just blows. Try making some gluten free corn muffins. That's my favorite medium for jam

    You know what? Your experience really reassures me. And give me hope. I agree, out society is incredibly litigious and sue-happy. I don't think that lawsuits against McDonald's will help our cause at all. If anything, it will just discourage restaurants from labeling things gluten free to avoid a lawsuit. Let's focus on the positive!!! (Wow, was that...

    No stay far far away from Quaker products. Super high risk of cross contamination. I get Lundberg rice cakes or corn cakes by a company called Real Foods. See what you can find in your local health food store.

    Pilates is absolutely the BEST non-aerobic workout! If you're worried about looking like a klutz, pick up a DVD and try it at home first. You can get them for $10 to $15 at Target or someplace. Classes are nice though, if you have a decent instructor who's willing to help you get the breathing down. I think that's the toughest part.

    Oh dear. Have been diagnosed with a UTI. I guess that explains the not-sleeping-because-I'm-up-peeing-all-night garbage that's been going on lately. My doctor is giving me Cipro and I explained to the nurse that ALL medications bother my stomach and a nice mild antibiotic would be nice. The nurse said that Cipro is in the same family as amoxicillan and...

    My personal theory is that it cannot hurt to give up the dairy. I don't have anything concrete to back that up except that dairy is hard for most people to digest. We are the only animals that consume milk beyond infancy and it causes digestive problems for many people. I know that giving up gluten is hard and giving up one more major food group seems...

    The gluten free pecan ones. I've eaten them in the past with no problem, but I'm wondering if this bag is bad because I've had problems since last week when I opened it. I threw them out. Funny how I used to freak out about wasting food, but now I'm so quick to throw things out if it's gross or if it bothers my stomach...

    Has anyone had a bad experience with Mi-Del cookies? Lately I've been coming home from work every day with a bloated, painful belly and couldn't figure out why. I thought maybe it was the raw fruits and veggies I was eating. So today I felt fine, ate 2 Mi-Del's and BAM now I'm all bloated and my tummy hurts! So I read the bag and they process wheat...

    The Envirokids animal crackers are AWESOME. The EnerG crackers are pretty good too. Kind of like a Saltine, only a bit heavier. Good luck!!!

    You know what? I do this too. And I know that it's totally psychological and emotional and yet I do it anyway. It really bothers me that anybody else can eat whenever they are hungry and eat whatever they want and I can't do that. I can't go grab takeout for dinner after a 12 hour workday, I have to go home and cook myself something. So when I feel...

    I use a brand called Mexamerica because my grocery store does not carry Mission brand tortillas. The Mexamerica ones do not have a super strong corn-y flavor that some have complained about with the Mission tortillas. Sorry you're having such a hard time...Have you checked all of your fillings carefully? Processed meats can have gluten in them. Or perhaps...

    I'm going to try making them with EnviroKids Koala Crisp for chocolatey ones!!

    I've tried it. It seemed to work fine in muffins, especially in my pumpkin muffins since the pumpkin holds it all together. I also made cranberry orange muffins and corn muffins with white rice flour. Both tasted fine but looked a little different because the flour is so pale. I did add some Xanthan Gum as a binder. I haven't tried cookies yet...I'm curious...

    Darn! I do enjoy the Lara Bars, especially the Ginger snap!! Just looking to add a little variety... I just ordered some energy bars from Gluten Solutions that have lots of seeds and dried fruits in them. I'll give you all an update when they come

    Dried fruit and nuts are both good snack options with a decent amount of fiber. I actually really like prunes...they're really sweet, like a big raisin. Your daughter might like those...

    It's nice to know I'm not the only one who eats 8 times a day I wonder if there's something to this Hypoglycemia thing...?

    Do they have soy in them???

    Sorry if I sound ignorant, but is all mayo really safe? Mayo has vinegar, does it not? How can we tell what kind of vinegar is in it and whether or not it is safe?

    Dude, I finished The Broker in 3 days because I don't ever sleep anymore! And the outlets aren't open at 2:00 am. If they were I'd REALLY never sleep... Those of you with real suggestions, I appreciate it

    You can also buy it dry and mix it yourself - it's much cheaper that way! I guess you're probably looking for convenience with college students, but I think you just add oil and an egg... Just a thought!
