    ARCHIVED Sonic Drive-in

    penguin replied to Guhlia's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    This is what my local GIG has on it: Sonic. 866-657-6642. No gluten-free menu that is printed or published on the Internet. However, a company representative at Sonic's toll-free number verbally gave the following list of gluten-free menu items: Bacon Breakfast sausage patty Hamburger, no bun Hotdog, no bun Sliced American cheese Shredded...

    Which mix did you use?

    Yes, it's a very reasonable fear. I've gotten sick from that much. With celiac, it doesn't matter if it's a molecule or a stack of pancakes, the reaction is usually the same. Celiacs can eat out, it just takes planning and communication with the kitchen.

    I'm sorry you're going through so much right now. It just plain sucks. Well, the gallbladder thing should make you feel better, right? So that will be good, even though the procedure is certainly no fun. And about the estrogen thing, maybe the tests next week will show they've gone down. I'll say a prayer for you, I know it must be hard.... Try...

    OK, so I've been excessively tired and my stomach is generally unhappy lately. Maybe I'm getting gluten from somewhere? The things I use that I'm not sure about are: Olay moisturizer (which is P&G, and they're useless) St. Ives Medicated Apricot Scrub Johnson's Softwash Calming Bodywash Johnson's Softlotion 24 hour moisture...

    I bought those while I was out during lunch. The Whole Foods lady said they're the cadillac of vitamins, they're basically digested for you. I took two, and it seems I can actually tolerate them! I have a terrible time with vitamins, they usually make me nauseous. They woke me up a little bit, or at least they're helping me fight the urge to crawl under my...

    The celiac blood panel includes: tTG-IgA or tissue transglutaminase-IgA AGA-IgG or Antigliadin IgG AGA-IgA or Antigliadin IGA Total IGA I think there's one more? Maybe? I went to the doctor because my stomach hurt unbearably for no apparent reason. They did a battery of tests and didn't find anything, just said it was IBS. Gave me antispasmodics...

    Hello and welcome! You'll find lots of great information and great people, too. I'm 22 and was diagnosed in February. Did your doctor say you have Celiac, then? Did he run the whole panel? I run through your bullet points: A) I get those red dry spots, too. I also get them behind my ears and neck. As for the burning lips, I have that too! They're always...

    Whole Paycheck! I love it! I think if I ever want bread, I'll make it myself. Then at least I'll feel defeated, but not totally cheated as if I bought the lead styrofoam... When I was first dx'ed, I made the joke that gluten-free food fell into one of two categories: styrofoam or cardboard. So far, I wasn't that far off

    Alright, you guys are going to think I'm nuts , but...I've been making this since I was like, 7, a version of it was in my Minnie Mouse cookbook! I make it all the time, but I've never been able to get anyone else to try it... PB&J Popcorn Pot of stove popped popcorn (popcorn and oil only, no microwave!!!) In a small saucepan... ...

    Aww...you can still have cake! In NYC, you're in the perfect spot! If you can't find it in New York, where CAN you find it? There's a place called Babycakes in Manhattan, which I hear is good, though I've never been. Open Original Shared Link Or you can make one with a mix, like Namaste or Pamela's! Most pillsbury frostings are gluten-free, just...

    Something makes me doubt that they get the gluten from trictale or spelt...where else would they get it? Maybe it's an elaborate CYA statement. I hate drug companies

    You can find powdered citric acid and powdered ascorbic acid, maybe that could be subsitituted for the vinegar in baking projects?

    It is really gross warm, but decent ice cold. It's also one of the only things that tastes BETTER when you add vodka to it! I only do that at da club though
  16. penguin
    Yes! Yes! A thousand times, YES! It's gluten-free, and I always drink one right after being glutened, it helps with the brain fog A LOT! It's all the b-vitamins. I drink them in general as well, to help when I'm just too dang sleepy to function. It's helped me write many a last minute term paper It's especially effective at 3am.

    From about.com: Q. What Is the Difference Between Baking Soda & Baking Powder? A. Both baking soda and baking powder are leavening agents, which means they are added to baked goods before cooking to produce carbon dioxide and cause them to 'rise'. Baking powder contains baking soda, but the two substances are used under different conditions. ...

    Yaaaaay!!!! There are very few gastros out there who aren't doing cranial colonoscopies on themselves all the time... Congrats!

    I'll spike a fever for no reason around my period, sometimes. Maybe it's hormonal?

    Just tossing out ideas here, but... I made a totally safe easter meal and still felt kind of sick... It's because I ate too much! I often forget that I am human and will still feel sick from overeating I'm guessing you had a lot of casein free/gluten-free candy that day too? Maybe it was the combination and quantity of food that didn't agree...

    1 c. peanut butter 1 c. sugar 1 egg (I add a tsp of vanilla, too) Pop them in the oven at 375 for 12-15 mins. Viola! I use a tbsp disher that I got at my local restaurant supply, but you can roll dough into balls and flatten them!

    gluten-free tiramisu! You've saved my life! Thanks!

    I've learned basically everything from basically everyone. I can't pinpoint who or just one thing, just everything! I must admit, I thought you guys were nuts when you talked about cc and how you all must just be paranoid...lo and behold, cc does matter! I'd be picking my croutons of my salads if it weren't for you! And I never would have thought of health...

    Dannon uses a CYA response and won't say if their products are gluten-free or not. There's nothing special about Activa that Stonyfield Farms or Cascade Fresh doesn't have. Stonyfield Farms is gluten-free, and I use them sometimes, but I usually buy Cascade Fresh. It has 8 active cultures and is really tasty! I find it at the health food store, though my...

    I'd be wary of BK fries, if I were you. They are *technically* gluten-free and *technically* in a dedicated fryer, but I've been to BK more than once and found an onion ring in my french fries. The onion rings are obviously not gluten-free. They may be fried seperately, but their holding containers once cooked are right next to eachother, and the fry/onion...
