    Just so you know...Clinique and all related companies (estee lauder, origins, and a few others) will list glutens in their ingredients in plain language, except for using the scientific names for wheat and oats)... I asked them about the specific products I use (clinique): Dear Ms. Chelsea, In response to your email, Work Out All Day Makeup, Stay...

    I love love LOVE Chipotle!!! I eat there probably once a week and I never have problems (knock on wood). It's my safe place other than chick-fil-a. I usually order online and put allergy in the comments. They usually wait till I'm there to make it so that they can make sure they're doing it right. I only recently started asking them to change their gloves...

    I love the alamo drafthouse, but I don't know if there is anything I can eat?!?!?! for those of you who don't know what it is... Open Original Shared Link the best place for movies ever! nothing like being served food and libations while watching movies... Anybody know about it though? OK to eat anything? I emailed them, but I wanted personal...

    I thought this was totally bizarro too, so I googled it! Apparently, the claim may be legit Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Wierd. Not sure I believe it, still...

    HAHAHA I agree, why care about others!!! It's really hard for me to remain apathetic that way! Who in the what now? All this feelings talk is making my brain hurt

    Um...ditto on me for that... He's just so intergral to every part of my life that I didn't think to mention him exclusively. A couple more loves: I LOVE that this thread is putting people in a good mood! I LOVE it when my brain spits out a good idea out of the fog I LOVE being married I LOVE my husband more than all the reddi whip...

    I dunno, I have a flying-gluten phobia (the pillsbury doughboy is my therapist ) In places like Dunkin Doghnuts and Krispy Kreme, I don't go in for the donuts either (never really liked them) but there's so many naked baked goods! And naked baked goods touching the salespeople! THEY COULD FLY AT ME AT ANY MOMENT In the grocery store, the gluten...

    Yep, me too, and I'm in the US. It's IgE testing, and they take it from a blood sample. I'm not allergic to anything but nuts (which he didn't test for, redundant), so all came up negative. Don't know about accuracy, but the allergist said it's a good indicator. You could also do the scratch test, but eh, not accurate for foods.

    You would think the butt would be easy to find, considering their heads are up it

    V is for Vincent V is for Viactiv Chewy calcium thingys

    Other than having 30000000000000 ingredients, many unpronounceable, and the risk of cc, looks ok! Be careful though, it is probably cross contaminated. Though I've never (knock on wood) been glutened by a Kraft product.

    Isn't that like a recovering alcoholic going into the bar to get a coke?
  15. penguin
    Thanks for that! I saw them in Wild Oats and was wondering about them, I wonder if they're any good? Maybe I'll pick one up and try it, but I've never had much luck with mixes
  16. penguin
    Nobody's opposed to using love loosley, are they? Again, me first! I LOVE that my DH thinks this whole Celiac thing makes *perfect sense* to him I LOVE that my local Wild Oats sells Chebe pizza mixes so I can still have Friday Pizza Night I LOVE that my doctor uses common sense I LOVE rocking out to "Freebird" on my ipod while cooking...

    No, that doesn't make you a poser-indie-emo idiot, it makes you a new age hippie (joke, nobody be offended please) Time for me to explain the swarm of poser-indie-emo idiots that have come upon Austin like a plague... According to one definition on urbandictionary.com that applies to my use of the term emo: "Genre of softcore punk music...

    I HATE that the allergy test sites got infected I HATE that I have little bullseyes on my arms I HATE that the Tequin the allergist put me on is making me way nauseated (it is gluten-free at least) I HATE that I'm probably going to have a yeast infection I HATE that I look like a pretentous dieter when I'm reading EVERY SINGLE LABEL ...

    So, I'm looking around at le creuset stuff. I've never used it, but I've heard it lasts forever, and since I have to replace my cast iron anyway... ...and I could use some stoneware... Does this stuff live up to the hype? Is it easy to clean? Does it scratch easily? Does it heat evenly? Is it worth the investment? We have a le creuset outlet...
  20. penguin
    That was my intention...but, erm, I am in kind of a bad mood, so I got a little snappy. OK, a lot snappy. Snarky even! Sorry And now... Back to the business of being lightheartedly annoyed at our very privilaged world

    Open Original Shared Link Here ya go! "Other cards stop at "no wheat, rye, barley, or oats." Our cards are different because we don't assume a chef can immediately intuit the things it took us Celiacs months to learn. We clearly list hidden sources of gluten, where they might be found, and other subtleties, like the dangers of cross-contamination...
  22. penguin
    While I appreciate your judgement, I really do, most of my complaints were not about food. Also, I'm allowed to be in a bad mood, thank you, so please trample someone else with your high horse. Like most other people my age, I tend to exaggerate, so please don't think that I truly *hate* my car. I found many other things to gripe about other than what...
  23. penguin
    It's all marketing. All activa does is the same thing all other yogurt does, it replaces the good bacteria. They claim they have an exclusive strand, they don't, cascade fresh has the same one, and has 7 other cultures. They also list gluten-free on the label!
  24. penguin
    nevermind
  25. penguin
    OK, me first! (DISCLAIMER :if you're offended by a lighter use of the word hate, please replace "hate" with "strongly dislike" in the following statements) I HATE that I have to go to three stores for two things I HATE that Bob's Red Mill made me doubt gluten-free labelling I HATE that poser-indie-emo idiots have flooded my town I...
