    Look for the Trader Joe's brand Gluten Free Granolas too. They have 3, Cranberry Maple Nut, Loaded Fruit & Nut, and a Tropical Fruit and Nut. I like the maple best, the others have some coconut that I am not as fond of as a flavor. These are also dairy free. I was shocked when I wandered through the cereals aisle and found these.

    I was in North Seattle for an event last weekend and went by Da Vincis. They make bakery items and some entree type things plus a full coffee service with milk alternatives. Fantastic stuff and very nice staff. They make a bunch of different pizzas and have some salads including a chicken one that was great. The desserts are wonderful too, and no problems...

    In the US check for a local chocolatier, many smaller companies use purer chocolate recipes than the big ones that have to worry about shelf stability more. I work for one such and have never had any problems with our solid chocolate items. There are risks for cross contamination here, and many items that do contain gluten. Always avoid anything with rice...

    I used to get cravings for Chinese Food too. PF Changs doesn't work for me because I don't do soy or dairy either. So I learned to make my own. Fried rice isn't very hard at all. La Choy sweet and sour sauce is gluten free (read the label anyway) and there are some other alternative sauces out there. I have a deep fryer and use a banana (yes really) based...

    Great to hear some other stories. I didn't start feeling "normal" until perhaps a year and a half after my blood test. I also went through the stages of having other things be ok and then start to cause intolerance problems. I now am avoiding dairy, soy, and nuts in addition to the gluten. It's a hassle but it is definitely worth it to feel really good...

    I use the vanilla every day. Since I can't do dairy or soy it's great that this product is available. I usually mix mine with cran-raspberry juice, sometimes with rice milk added in for calcium. I also do the same and add Citrucel for fiber much of the time. It's also great mixed into a smoothie with some variety of ice cream type stuff.

    Sorry about the delay in response I only get in here once in a while. I fridge it and it keeps well for at least 5 days (I've never had one take me longer than that to eat ) I actually prefer it either right out of the oven or after it's been refrigerated for a while. If you keep the liquid content in the berries down and get a good boil going on them...

    Whey protein is good, if you can have eggs you might consider the egg white proteins. The egg whites have a different profile of proteins. Using both can broaden the types of proteins you have available for muscle building. Try to maximize the complex carbs as you can. Most gluten free baked things will help there. Gluten Free Pantry angel food cake mix is...

    Hi, I use Citrucel. It's a methylcellulose and says gluten free right on the label. I've used it for months now with no problem. I usually mix it with cran-raspberry juice and the protein powder I use - Jay Robb's Vanilla Egg White Protein. That generally by itself may not be enough, but mixed with some higher fiber foods it's fine. I include refried beans...

    I sent TCBY an email once and received back a reply saying that all the flavors that don't include obvious gluten like cookies and cream are gluten free. However, I have had to give up on them - the dairy still bothers me too much and even their sorbets cause me some discomfort. One other thing to watch for - in the TCBY stores I have been in, when it's time...

    Hi, I am loving this recipe so wanted to share. The boysenberries have been coming in here, and I've gone through a flat of them making cobblers. When I was growing up we had cobbler pretty often, and this recipe makes one that takes me right back there - it's as good or better than any I've had. 1

    Let us know what you think. I love these. Our local grocer carried them once then stopped. Fortunately the grocer offers a discount on special orders so I order them a case at a time (6 to a case). I usually eat mine totally plain, but white chocolate chips would be great. I tend to use less oil than the mix calls for.

    Has anyone been eating the Safeway brand potato chips or corn ships they list here? I have yet to find a potato chip that isn't cross contaminated. It would be great if theirs are ok. Thanks for getting the great list, I will definitely be making a trip there soon.

    Both of those make my lips burn when they are chapped. I have ended up using petroleum jelly (Vaseline). It works well.

    Flavorings can mean absolutely anything unless it is otherwise illegal. So it can certainly be a wheat product but unlikely to be heroin. From Wikipedia (not a guaranteed acurate source for info, but better than most stuff out there) "Two isomers of the aldohexose sugars are known as glucose, only one of which (D-glucose) is biologically active. This form...

    I love the snickerdoodles Not a problem at my house I go through about 4 boxes a week The chocolate chip don't settle well for me (perhaps I'm spoiled by working in a chocolate store?), and the fake oat chip thingys in the other bars feel harsh to me so I tend to avoid them unless there is an emergency (like having already bought out all of...

    This may just be regional but if you can find Open Original Shared Link they make a really pure sauerkraut of just cabbage water and salt. When I was healing I had to avoid all vinegars and was very happy to find their products in a local grocery. They also make vinegar free dill relish. I doubt you would have any problems with typical store sauerkrauts...

    For Ice Cream I love the Soy Delicious line by Turtle Mountain. Their allergies page is Open Original Shared Link But then I found I was soy intollerant to some extent too so quit soy. Now I eat Rice Dream by Imagine Foods. Their allergy page is Open Original Shared Link It's not nearly as good and some flavors still have allergens in them I avoid, but...

    I will just reiterate the EnviroKids. Krogers carries them in their health section, and Trader Joes also has them. I love the Koala Crunch and Gorilla munch. I can't go a day without one of their rice crispy snacks either - Cheetah Snacks yummmm

    Lays Bobs Red Mill pancake mix I suspect on Pamelas chocolate chip cookies and possibly peanut butter. No problems with the shortbread ones though so far. Blue Diamond Nut Thins I have been having some problems with Almond Breeze and am wondering if I am sensitive to almonds rather than a cc issue. I know I had problems with the Pacific almond milk...

    Hi, I was wondering about possible contamination in spices and spice mixes I use so sent off email to SpiceHunter and Spice Islands (Tone Brothers). So far after a week SpiceHunter is the only one to respond. "Our spices and spice blends are gluten free. However, we carry other products that contain gluten. These products are made using common processing...

    Hi, I am in Eugene also. The Outback at Gateway is ok. There is a Vietnamese place called Pho Yi-Shen at the corner of 11th and Chambers next to Ring of Fire. They have a dish Lemongrass Chicken that is gluten free, and some cold salad rolls. I love the LG Chicken (it can be done with tofu also) so eat there fairly often. There is as always a chance...

    Thanks for this, it explains some things. I had gotten the usual email response but didn't check into the natural flavors part. Will have to totally avoid them in the future I guess.
