    I was in Milan recently and am currently in Venice, and both cities have been amazing in accommodating my gluten free diet. While I was in Milan, many restaurants provided me with gluten free pasta and several places served gluten free crackers in place of bread. In Venice, the places I have been so far have all been great too. But, my hotel is a Celiac...

    I've found that when I go to Outback I need to avoid their salads as I always end up finding a crumb or crumbs from croutons in it. I was told that they keep each salad ingredient in a bin and that the bins can get cross contaminated easily. Also, I always ask for everything without butter and seasoning because I've heard that not all of the butter at their...

    Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of some tooth whitening kits or whitening toothpastes that are gluten free? Thanks.

    ARCHIVED Outback

    lapetit8 replied to MistressIsis's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Eating at the Outback can definitely be risky if you are not careful. I never order a salad there as it always has crouton crumbs in it. They keep all of the ingredients in seperate bins that are right next to one another so it is very easy for the ingredients to get mixed. Also, the butter that they use on the vegetables is a butterball and contains seasonings...

    I contacted Starbucks and received an e-mail stating that the, "Marshmallow Squares DO contain Gluten."

    For those of you that don't know pinkberry is a Los Angeles chain that sells different types of frozen yogurt (sort of like a tasti-d-lite). Recently, one just opened up in New York and I'm wondering if any of their products are gluten free. They don't have a website, so I'm unsure of how to contact the company. Does anyone know the gluten free status...

    Hi Everyone, I'm going to be spending quite some time in London soon and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some gluten free restaurants or restaurants that have a gluten free menu or restaurants that serve gluten free products or just restaurants that are very accomodating?? Also, where are the best places to shop for gluten free products? ...

    My favorite is the navy bean white bread from Celiac Specialties. Celiac Specialties is based in Michigan, but you can order from there website. Kinnikinnick white bread is OK when toasted. Otherwise, as someone said above...it tastes like a sponge. Whole Foods bread is alright. It's fairly thick and is about 500 calories for 2 small slices. I believe...

    When I contacted Starbucks recently they said, "All Starbucks beverages are gluten free with the EXCEPTION of Frappucinos that contain Java Chips, Vanilla Powder and/or Malt Powder." I'm not positive about the bottled drinks but I believe the Starbucks brand ones that they sell are gluten free. As far as the peppermint mocha making you sick, perhaps it...

    Hi Everyone, I want to make everyone aware of the new updated response from Tasti D-Lite. In the past when I had contacted the company, I was told that any flavor that did not obviously list a glutenous ingredient was safe for us with Celiac Disease to eat. I recently received a new message from Tasti D-Lite that states, "we are conducting further...

    The last time I checked with the company, they were gluten free. They said that as long as they did not specifically list wheat, rye, barley, and/or oats on the label that they were fine.

    A few weeks ago I ordered a birthday cake from them. However, it came completely melted. I called them and told them this and they were yelling at me telling me that it took them 3 days to make. When I asked them if they could make another one they hung up on me. I've tried some of their products at gluten-free vendor fairs and it's been pretty good but...

    Hey Everyone, I just wanted to let you all know about a recent experience I had with Everybody Eats, Inc (Open Original Shared Link). They are a company that sells gluten free pizzas, bread, cakes, etc. in Brooklyn, NY. About 2 weeks ago, I ordered a birthday cake from them. It seemed ridiculously expensive, $50 for a 6 inch cake, but the cakes...

    Hey Everyone! I'm looking for a good place or website to order a gluten free birthday cake. I feel like I've seen so many delicious looking gluten free cakes in the past, but now that I actually am getting one I can't find any. Does anyone have any suggestions? I live in the NY area. Thanks.

    ARCHIVED Babycakes...

    lapetit8 replied to pinky's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I was really looking forward to trying these cupcakes and was extremely disappointed when I eventually did. The icing was disgusting...it didn't taste like icing. And considering icing is usually one of the easier things to find that is "gluten free," I wasn't impressed. Also, I thought the cupcake was really dense. Also, I had a really bad stomachache...

    ARCHIVED Chinese Food

    lapetit8 replied to ElovesFC's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Not necessarily. In fact, often the steamed food isn't gluten free. Many chinese restaurants will add a variety of things to their "plain" food. This includes MSG, Wheat Flour, and Corn Starch. As far as the rice goes, I've heard some people tell me that it isn't always gluten free. I'm not sure what's in it, but I avoid it. I know that at Japanese...

    I e-mailed Starbucks a few weeks ago to ask them which of their products are gluten free. They responded by telling me that ALL Starbucks beverages are gluten free with the EXCEPTION of Frappucinos that contain Java Chips, Vanilla Powder, and/or Malt Powder. I would assume, therefore, that the Tangerine Juice Blend Frappucion is gluten free too. If...

    Do you know of any place where one can order this without having to pay an additional $33.00 for the cooler?

    ARCHIVED Shake Shack

    lapetit8 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Has anyone ever been to the Shake Shack in New York City? It's in Madison Square Park. I've heard they accomodate a variety of different diets but I haven't heard anything about them accomodating Celiacs. Does anyone know if anything on their menu is gluten free? I tried to e-mailing them over a week ago but haven't received a response yet.

    So, I thought that it would be informative for everyone if we each posted our absolute favorite gluten free food item for a variety of different categories. Hopefully this will help all of us avoid wasting our money on gluten free products that taste disgusting and lead us in the right direction to finding more tasty gluten free products. The categories...

    I don't have any other food allergies/intolerances however when I had those a while ago I felt really sick immediately after eating it. I think they are just way too spicy for me.
