    Maybe I'm too brave, but I would go for it. Maybe not just yet, but don't say never. A restaurant near me has "stations" set up in the kitchen. There's a person in one corner who makes all the burritos and enchiladas and they have their own containers of ingredients instead of having to run all over the kitchen with stuff. Then other stations that handle...

    I like apple cinnamon (or strawberry when I can find them) rice cakes with cream cheese on them or tortilla chips with hommus, cream cheese mixed with salsa, or homemade spinach dip, or baby food (fruits only, of course) with sot lecithin granules mixed in. The soy bits get squishy like tiny tapioca sort of. My coworkers tease me whenever I eat it, but it...

    Well, since we're asking silly questions, how about those little lube/ lotion/ moisture strips on razor blades?? I'm being serious.

    Shortly after I went gluten-free (like the very next week, I think) the store I work in put up a bunch of huge sticker-advertisement things on the floor of every aisle. The one in my aisle said "Without bread, they would just be pulled-pork HANDWICHES. Eat more bread!" Way to taunt the sick girl. I have *no idea* who cut it to pieces and picked at the edges...

    I don't have any experience with autism, but I am a pro at feeding picky kids. He should be able to have Fruity Pebbles or Cocoa Pebbles from Post. I know they're gluten free, but you'll have to check for soy. If it was the fries it would be hard to pinpoint the problem. Their fryer could have been contaminated with anything. Good luck to you guys.

    My evil craving was macaroni and cheese. I ate it almost every day. The last time I did it made me have a panic attack and a migraine that lasted almost 5 days! I still miss it, though.

    Try to poke around on here for other people's postings about time frame. What I've gathered is that you can still have random gluten responses for at least 6 weeks. It doesn't mean you're not healing or doing anything wrong, and it can be confusing at first when you're still new to the diet. I encourage you to hang in there.

    I pretty much use Mrs. Dash for everything. I do need to find a good chili seasoning. My very favorite was French's Chili-O plus some packets of Taco Bell fire sauce for spice. TB sauce is gluten-free, but French's is definitely not.

    HAHAHA! My son starts kindergarten in the Fall and I just went through his orientation with him. I'm 26 and I have pink hair at the moment. I've been dying it for 10 years, always with Special Effects. I do it because if I don't I feel invisible. I've gone through periods of letting it grow out or dyed it "normal" for one reason or another. Usually other...

    I'm curious... Is there an increase in risk after 9 months of age? My son was exclusively breast fed for the first year.

    I'm pretty sure the chicken and rice in the US is NOT gluten-free and lists wheat in the ingredients. The chicken and white & wild rice seems safe, but I don't make a habit of eating it for the chance that I'll grab the wrong one.

    I usually eat "Mighty Tasty gluten-free Hot Cereal" from Bob's Red Mill. I make a pan on Monday and then keep it in the fridge so I can just nuke some the rest of the week. Eat a cereal with some dried fruit and nuts mixed in and it will last longer than high protein stuff. Almonds are a good suggestion. I had a Saturday class from 8a until 4p that was...

    Isn't water pretty much the only thing that's really hypoallergenic?

    kb - I knew things weren't right for a while. I tried pinpointing my symptoms and adjusting my diet to address them. I took all sorts of supplements, added more soy, completely removed soy, added and removed dairy, etc. I just got worse and worse. When I went back to eating meat, it was something I tried out of desperation. It obviously went pretty well...

    kb- If you've gotten to the point that you feel eating meat might be the answer you've probably been feeling lousy for a long time. I held out way longer than was good for my body. I still have serious memory issues. I was tired all the time. I still get that way when I've gone too many days without meat. Returning to an omnivorous diet isn't so bad, and...

    I consider myself a "recovering vegetarian." I was veg for about 5 years and by the end I had lost so much brain function I couldn't even speak some days. If your symptoms haven't improved, I urge you to try the nutritionist's suggestions. I was bummed about giving up vegetarianism and kind of (ok really) grossed out by meat for a long time. Now I would never...

    I agree with Ursula. Sounds like this one just needs some time. Hopefully the blood tests are conclusive and you can move forward from there. If it is Celiac, it will be easier once they've gone gluten-free. I'm sure he will only be willing one time to watch his daughters suffer for a week from that "one little slice of pizza." I can't imagine any parent...

    LindaLee - I would imagine that your melon one is the same as the kids one at the bottom of the list, just with the movie promo tie-in. Here's the Delphi CoverGirl list: Cover Girl (000.000.0000) (00/00/00) All foundations, Fresh Complexion pressed powder, Extremely Gentle pressed powder, Continuous Color moisture-enriched blush, all concealers, all...

    Lisa B - Here's what the Delphi list says for ChapStick. They also list safe choices from Blistex.

    I ate at the Paradise by me yesterday and it was AWESOME!! I had the strip steak salad. Sooo good! The management company that owns them also own Outback Steakhouse, Carrabas Grill, PF Chang's, and Bonefish Grill, so all of those chains have good gluten free menus and trained, helpful staff. The Paradise near me is actually a Bonefish Grill in the back half...

    I would have included mini bags of Frito Lay snacks (Cheetos, Doritos, Fritos) and marshmallow bars made with Fruity Pebbles or Cocoa Pebbles (in a disposable pan) instead of Rice Krispies on the acceptable list. People feel better about accomodating me when I can "name drop" familiar brands.

    I agree! I used to mostly get hives and migraines. Since going gluten-free, if I do manage to poison myself, my reactions are WAY more severe. It causes my heart to race and I get the sleepy/ foggy head and prolonged constipation along with headaches and miserable hives.

    I LOVE the banana one. I get the chocolate one when my brownie cravings are unbearable. Chocolatey, chewy, does the job. FYI - I called the company that makes ZonePerfect bars yesterday and they said that they have 7 gluten-free flavors. Chocolate almond raisin, chocolate coconut crunch (I like these), chocolate raspberry, fudge graham, mango orange, peanut...

    According to Frito Lay's website, *most* of their recipes are gluten-free. Stax are the only product that is produced on completely gluten-free lines. The other products do carry a risk of cc. I've not personally had a problem with Cheetos, Fritos, Doritos, or Lays. I haven't heard of any butter we can't have. I've read that there are connections betweek...

    I've not had a problem with Wendy's chili. Frito Lay had a pretty extensive list of safe (gluten-free) products on their website. I read in someone else's posts that sausage can be a culprit because the spices can contain gluten and still be listed as "spices" or "natural flavors." I've also read that the guten reaction can be delayed up to 30 days, so it...
