    Thanks, everyone. Much appreciated. Be well.

    Planning Thanksgiving and thinking about a wild rice stuffing. I've heard wild rice IS and ISN'T gluten free. Anyone know? Thanks.

    Well good news update: Her pizza got shot down and know we are ordering from Jason's Deli, so I can get a gluten free Chef's Salad and bring my own salad dressing in. Now I just have to deal with the company Holiday party in December. A bowling party (sigh) with tons of fatty, breaded, fried foods. I'm tired of the "its not about the food, it's about...

    Oh it gets better...my boss just came to my office door and said, "What kind of pizza do you think I should order for Wednesday?". I told her, "You're asking gluten-boy (my nickname here) who can't eat any? I really don't care." She said, "Oh I know you can't but I thought you'd be good to bounce this off of." So I said, "Veggie and pepperoni". So she...

    I agree - it is about feeling socially isolated at times. But I think that food and social go hand in hand unfortunately. We are having a big party at home this weekend, and we are making lots of stuff I can eat, but I was sad walking through Costco last weekend, saying NO to things my partner wanted to buy for our guests, simply because I can't eat them...

    THAT'S A GREAT IDEA! And that lifted my spirits, so thank you. It does bite though that I have to "pay" still for my own lunch and everyone else gets a free lunch out of it. Oh well, not much I can do about that. But I love the jealousy idea.

    This is one of those times I hate being gluten free. Next Wednesday, I am going to be trapped in a conf. room where everyone is eating pizza, but I have to bring my own lunch, as the one place I suggested that COULD accomodate me is not in our price range for work (which it is, but they're being cheap right now). Since it's a working session, I can't just...

    I ate at Steuben's last night (www.steubens.com) and was very happy to find they have a gluten-free menu! We sat at the bar, and when I asked the bartender (Mark) if the mashed potatoes have flour in it, as I can't have anything with flour, he immediately said, "Oh, we've got a gluten-free menu - would you like one?!" I spoke with their Manager, Dave, who...

    I was prescriped Nexium but my insurance didn't cover it, so we went with Protonix. Took it for three months - fine. No heartburn/reflux. Stopped it when the Rx ran out, and shortly thereafter the symptoms started again so I refilled the Rx and have been fine.

    I'd stay away from the beef, but that's just me. Their corporate office told me they do marinate their beef. And the safest bet is just their plain grilled chicken. I eat there often, as it's quick, healthy. Brown rice bowl, white chicken, steamed broccoli and no sauce. I bring my own teriyaki and it's all good!

    yes, they are cupcakes. Unfortunately, they are gluten-filled ones. My partner (bless his heart) made 300 cupcakes for our wedding last year as the ones we were pricing from bakeries were way overpriced. Fortunately, I was able to eat them last year before I was diagnosed with Celiac. But even better, we still have TONS of icing in the freezer which is...

    I made these last night. They came out small in size but very tasty with a big old glass of moo juice (a.k.a. milk). And the batter was good too - I miss cookie dough batter (Yeah, it's got a raw egg in it but I'm fine with that!). This was good and so easy, I was mad I never made them in my gluten-filled days. I want to expirement more for our upcoming...

    While Noodles & Co. does mainly sell noodle dishes, they do make a gluten free caesar salad (no croutons!) and get the sauteed beef tips on top. It is great. I've confirmed with their corporate that dish is gluten free (just be sure they hold the croutons, which they sometimes forget and have to start over).

    There is a PF Changs in Broomfield, maybe about 10-15 minutes from Boulder. I ate at Abrusci's on Sunday night - it was a great menu selection. I'd avoid the gluten free cheese bread as it was fair. But if you do get it, tell them to make hot and bubbling. It was room temp and felt as if it had been cooked earlier that day. If you do get pasta, tell...

    You have to be careful on the flavorings in vodka/gin/rum. That's what could contain gluten.

    We bought a chicken there on Saturday and the label clearly states Gluten Free. Love their roasted chickens!!!!
  17. steveindenver
    I'd love to know too as I love the Strawberries & Creme flavor.

    I'm sure this has been posted before so I apologize if so, but some good recipes here folks: Open Original Shared Link

    So my partner David and I visited his 80 year old uncle this past weekend outside of Cleveland. His uncle lives with an elderly woman friend. David and I figured we'd take meals as they come. So our first meal was lunch - she plops down this gelatinous egg casserole on the table and I whisper to David (ask what's in it!). So he does, and of course, there...

    From Safeway after I called them today: We received your request for information on Safeway private label products for those troubled with gluten-induced enteropathy or celiac-sprue. While we are somewhat familiar with the malabsorption syndrome, we do not presume to prescribe any of our products for any specific diet(s). On the other hand...

    On this topic, I called Dannon about their new line Activia and they could not guarantee me they're gluten-free due to the natural flavorings.

    My mom said she didn't need to get tested as, "My doctor said I don't have any of the signs". I told her that yes, indeed, she DOES have many signs. Chronic constipation. Fatigue. Depression. Bloating. And she said, "Oh, I thought the symptom was chronic 'd'". Not so much, mom. So, I think I've finally convinced her to get bloodwork done (I mean,...

    You may have gotten sick but at least you got some sugar from the guy! :-)

    I went to a friend's wedding two weeks ago and was so nervous I wouldn't be able to eat anything. It was a buffett, just like yours. The head caterer walked me through the buffet pointing out things that would be safe. My recommendation to you is to be strong to your caterer and tell the company that THEY need to tell you what is gluten free. Remind them...

    Don't get frustrated. There are options and I know it's hard. Here are some suggestions: Buffalo Chicken Salad (lettuce, cukes, tomatoes, ranch dressing). Cube chicken breast, toss lightly in white rice flour, and brown. Add some wing sauce or Buffalo hot sauce, toss to coat and then serve over the salad. Stuffed chicken breasts - slice chicken...
