  1. Oooh...that must be difficult....it's easy enough to make mistakes on your own without having someone handing you foods ....it does take awhile to get used to....at first you'll read every label 2 or 3 times to make sure you didn't misread it, and then, eventually, you'll know exactly what you can and can't have...and you will only have to read labels for...
  2. Called the company once first going gluten-free....they didn't say that they contained gluten, but rather, that they could not clarify that they were gluten-free....therefore, they might be safe, but we don't know......so, not good....sorry -celiac3270
  3. Hi Dianne, I've known about that site since I came to the board and Molly (flagbabyds) told me. Whether or not it is helpful really depends on where you are...there are some restaurants for NYC (where I live)...10...which is actually a fair number......but it says that it's a Westchester group, so I guess it is likely that it would have more restaurants...
  4. To wash it....you just need to have it over a sink and sponge down the grilling part.....it can get slightly messy, but it's not particularly difficult...and if you just clean up after yourself, the hotel doesn't have to know -celiac3270
  5. I use Crest without issues (and I use different forms of Crest....sometimes I can't find one in the stores)...... Second, don't apologize for posting ....after all, the whole point of the board is to share experiences, ask a lot of questions, and get answers...if you couldn't ask questions, then this wouldn't be much help.....so don't apologize for...
  6. You should get tested, but it doesn't matter who gets tested first. If you have it, your daughter will have to get tested, anyway.....if you don't have it, your daughter should still get tested....after all, I have celiac disease, but my parents and brother don't. A GI doctor would just say: bloodwork, if that's positive, then biopsy.... Mariann's suggestion...
  7. oh, okay...I'm not allergic...thanks. -celiac3270
  8. Thank you from me, as well....I am interested in getting a subscription to some magazine on Celiac....and heard of living without....I'll get a copy and try it out.....see if it's worth subscribing to. Jessica, is that "gluten free living" magazine better than living w/o? -celiac3270
  9. Yikes! Thank you for the warnings.....is it bad for me to be consuming any dairy? Like I said, I eliminated bulk amounts of obvious dairy...like creamcheese. Is it bad to have some dairy in my diet? -celiac3270
  10. I am a member at Jessica's (angel_jd1) board, and I get all the postings made there via e-mail....I recently got an e-mail regarding cross-contamination....it may sound ridiculous for a non-Celiac, but this stuff is essential to know and practice:
  11. The only place I've found them is a healthfood store near me. They might be hard to find, because they're only in one of four healthfood stres that I visit. I am not aware of an official site to order online, but some online gluten-free products store might carry them. Both are rather expensive, but just try one package and you'll see why I praise them...
  12. Good to know....I've been lactose-limited for almost 5 months, as well....I haven't avoided dairy altogether, but, like I said in my post, avoided large quantities.....thank you for sharing your experiences with it...I guess I'll be avoiding it longer than I initially expected to....thanks again. As for my symptoms.....still there. I had another episode...
  13. The sauce packet from the regular Macaroni and Cheese by Kraft is gluten-free....obviously the noodles aren't, but with the same sauce, it's the same as the good old processed stuff....of course, you might prefer the homemade kind more anyway....wasn't sure, so I just posted this one... -celiac3270
  14. Since being diagnosed in February, I've been limiting my dairy/lactose....I am not lactose intolerent, so I have not been strictly adhering to a 100% lactose-free diet . Rather, I've tried to limit my lactose intake. For example, earlier in the diet, I had a big bowl of straberry icecream (made by Haagen Dazs, so I know it was gluten-free)...and I got...
  15. As for McDonald's...there gluten-free list is at: Open Original Shared Link
  16. That is terriffic ....I, too, am glad that you enjoyed it.
  17. So far it seems as if people are asking a lot of questions about "is this sunblock gluten-free?", but we still don't have a lot of gluten-free products mentioned in this thread. Somebody mentioned some Neutrogena thing and Banana Boat was brought up twice. Richard, Banana Boat has multiple variations: some for "general protection", some "for kids...
  18. Yuck...sorry to hear about that, but at least it reinforces your suspicions....I think it's pretty obvious that you have it. Personally, if I were in your situation, I don't think I'd do it either. If I were under a month into the diet, I might, since the progress would've been minimal, anyway, but at this point, there's no way I'd go back....I think you...
  19. It would make sense to do some other tests....but the doctor's tested my entire family...my brother's been tested twice...and I think that everyone but me is convinced that he doesn't have it. The doctor thinks he's fine, my parents no longer suspect that he has it, etc. I don't know if they'd be too receptive to a suggestion of additional testing.... ...
  20. How'd it go? (Eating whatever you wanted)...if Kalo's suggestion is true (if the stool test would work), that would be a good alternative, although, I don't know how much a doctor/nutritionist would like it.... ....from what I've heard, they don't like things from Enterolab (I've never had any tests done there). -celiac3270
  21. I've mentioned Foods By George for corn muffins and brownies (both are fabulous). They also make blueberry muffins...I haven't yet tried them, but plan to. -celiac3270
  22. oh....really?.....I only use the creamy, anyway, which is probably why I didn't know, but for some reason I thought that they were all fine...thanks. -celiac3270
  23. Research, research, research (esp. on this site).....and start keeping a binder or folder....print out good threads or photocopy things from books, various lists, print recipes or whatever.....start one central place where you can look for recipes or ingredients or food ideas....whatever.....then, even if you don't memorize all this stuff, you have it in...
  24. I meant to mention this in my other post, but forgot to: my grandmother has SEVERE osteoporosis....the worst her doctors have EVER seen....lots of bone/back issues. For example, on her spine, she has not only osteoporosis, but also scoliosis and some other things that I can't pronounce. She also weighs very little, bordering 100 pounds (and she was, at...
  25. Thank you everyone for the spaghetti sauces....I always thought that it's ridiculous to have to pay over four dollars for a simple jar of spaghetti sauce; it was very good, but the price seems a little bit outrageous; it was the only one the nutritionist mentioned....she missed the other sauces, kind of like she mentioned Wrigley's gum and didn't mention...
