    loco-ladi posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Dear <snip>, Thank you for your recent request for a list of gluten-free menu items available at Applebee's. Due to the frequency in which we change our menus, as well as the small risk of cross-contamination, we can not provide the list you requested. The health and safety of our guests is simply too important to risk sharing inaccurate...

    Not sure if this will help or not, depending on your situation food wise anyways... many many years ago, I also was 98 pounds (give or take) and a size 3 My doctor way back then wanted me to gain weight, his instructions were no matter what no matter how, eat an ice cream every day, cup, bowl, cone, whatever I could get ahold of..... this naturally...

    I get so very nervous when adding something "new" being I am so new to this, I try with the best intentions of only adding "new" when I can afford to be down for a few hours (last time was 4 days, had to talk to the "boss" when I got back to work, but dont think I am fired, no paperwork has arrived just yet anyways, it also helps he actually has a relative...

    I am new to this but I seem to have the best results when eating out (when I have to) by saying I have a food allergy DO NOT put any croutons or crackers or anything with flour near my salad ( I also go without any dressing as who knows what is in their brands they use), yes I went out with hubby today to the "best" restraunt in town and the one and only...

    up until I started the diet I basically would have 1 or maybe 2 a year, since being on the diet (about 4 months or so) I have already bypassed my "norm" My guess is that it will differ for everyone.

    I took all the information I could gather into my "local Dr" and still he insists its acid reflux, there are pills for that ya know I had it all in cronological order from my early years right up to current, still he insists "thats not it"..... I have others in my family with this as well..... everything to me points to this direction and after being ...

    I talked about this with my hubby today.... more in detail as I have more details now than i did before, he is supportive of my eating needs and doesn't seem to mind his ever shrinking cupboard space and yes I know he keeps a "stash" of gluten food at work, but thats fine with me. He is fine with making the house my gluten free zone and will be working at...

    on Oct 2nd of 2005 my husband suddenly developed breathing problems, local doctors were baffled and started stuffing him full of meds, by Oct 31st he could not function, he had all he could do to walk 5 feet because of his breathing issues....local solution was more meds..... larger city nearby solution was more meds..... finally got a referral to National...

    I am sorry that happened, I had an "accidental gluttening" and it was almost a week before I felt better. by the time I felt better however I no longer felt like I had to kill the person responsible so lucky for me it took so long as otherwise I might have been in jail by now!

    Patience is a virtue..... personally i think whoever said that should be drawn and quartered and they obviously were not gluten free either! I still find myself eating when I feel its "safe time" meaning if something "may" make me ill I look at the clock and decide.... "can I afford to be sick right now?" If the answer is no, then i dont eat, if I answer...

    Well, once upon a time I had a foster child with juvenille asthma and not wanting him to be dependant on medicine we both looked into natural things to do that would help.... One thing was increasing the magnesium intake, so I will admit when he found out that it meant more leafy green veggies he was dumbstruck, I believe his exact words were "EEEWWWWWWWW...

    Just arrived home from the local safeway..... and I am proud to announce one of my personal favorites is Gluten Free ! Hormel pepperoni (personally I enjoy the pre-sliced pouches) state it right on the back, I checked a couple of their other products but it didnt have it there, but if you look right under the ingredients listing, there it is pretty as a...

    Where I am just learning I have learned a few quick prep things for meals for 1... While I am married I work away from home and am gone for 24-36 hours at a time, so having to take all my food with me means cooking for one but 2-3 days worth at a time..... One thing I have started doing to help with the prep work and the expense of the other food is...

    loco-ladi replied to shan's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Now as I normally say at the end, this is just my .00000002 cents worth..... Lets start with defining "normal" who decides what is and isn't "normal". Lets define normal as growing up healthy and happy, that sounds normal to me. My nephew is allergic to (try to keep up with this ok) poultry of any kind, peanuts, dairy, eggs and wheat (ok, think i recalled...
