ARCHIVED Going To St. Thomas, Virgin Islands In May
Daxin replied to VegasCeliacBuckeye's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
We were there in January. We only ate lunch at one of the local places, but it was fine, and I didn't get sick. It was a little place at the Havensight Mall called Delly...something...can't remember the name right now. There wasn't that many places to eat there, so it's easy to find. Also, if you have to take a can anywhere, the rates are set by WHERE... -
We booked a last minute deal to Ocho Rios, and are leaving this Sunday. Has anyone been there since dx and if so, are you able to provide any info? Diet wise is Jerk seasoning supposed to be safe? Are there any MUST do excursions etc? Thanks in advance.

ARCHIVED Going On A Royal Caribbean Cruise
Daxin replied to blondebombshell's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
On St Thomas, there is a place called "Delly...something" at the Havensight mall. They have great food at great prices. I had the ahi tuna ceaser salad. They use an oil and vinegar style dressing, and were more than happy to leave off the crutons. As for the others, I can't say. We jsut got back from a cruise to that area. I found the food on the... -
Well, here's the final report on the cruise! There were only 2 minor glitches that did not result in a glutening incedent. The first night, they had prepared some gluten-free pasta for me for dinner. Brekafast was buffet style, but they had some gluten-free bread on board, and were concious of me needs and used fresh pans etc for all my omlettes...

ARCHIVED Royal Caribbean Cruise?
Daxin replied to blondebombshell's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just got back from a cruise, and it was fine for me to be gluten-free. The only problem arose before we sailed, and I found out we were supposed to send in some form to "purchase" a number of gluten-free items at no cost. Turns out though that there was at least one other person on the ship that was also gluten-free and there was bread for breakfast... -
ARCHIVED Maple Leaf Cookie Substitute
Daxin posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My DW jsut found a recipe for a cheesecake, but it uses those Mr. Christie Maple Leaf cookies as a crust. Does anyone out there know of a good replacement? Even just to munch on? Thanks -
I am SO glad to find other people with this problem. Pre dx, I was 6'3" and almost 200 lbs, healthy etc. By the time the doc figured out my "problem" I was down to 155 lbs and fading fast. I was afraid I would disappear. Since then, I am one of about 4 people that he local dietician has told to actually ADD fat to their diet. It's all supposed to be...

ARCHIVED Swanson's Organic Beef Broth
Daxin replied to wowzer's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Sounds like bitter irony to me as well. But perhaps, to those who are only allergic to wheat, and can tolerate all the otehr silly grains we are unable to eat as well, it may be good. But I can see how at first glance that recipe could be a silly idea. -
ARCHIVED Cheerios Substitutes
Daxin replied to a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
There is a gluten free, almost exact replica of Cheerios called Perky-O's. I'm the gluten-free one in our house, and I love them. The closest I've found to date. -
ARCHIVED Vodka's
Daxin replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Always best to go right to the source...a good russian made vodka, but you'll pay for it. We drink Smirnov or Polar Ice, and we go through about one 40 every month or so....depending on company dropping in, or the odd night ya need 4 or 5 ceaser's Never had a problem with either of those two brands. -
ARCHIVED Anyone Out There Carried To Term After Repated Losses?
Daxin replied to allthingsintime's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
There is hope There are some friends of ours, who despite repeated losses, have carried to term, and now have a VERY vibrant baby girl. So yes, it IS possible. I know that "All things work together for good.." Our thoughts go out to you and your husband on this holiday season. Prayers, -
ARCHIVED Rice Thins
Daxin replied to FrostyFriday's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have been eating them for a while, and LOVE them. Have not had a reaction at all. Even the rest of the family loves them. They have a few good flavours...the original, seseme and the sweet and salty are my favourites though. -
I'd like to add to be careful with the no boil however. The noodles will tkae longer to cook, as does all the gluten-free pasta. My mother made one last time I went to visit, so I will ask her how the leftovers re-heated and post as soon as I can.

ARCHIVED Happy Birthday Tarnalberry!
Daxin replied to jerseyangel's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
This is a little late, but happy birthday Hope you are well. -
I started a similar thread here about a month ago. I'm going in January, and am looking forward to it. The general idea is that mode of the major cruise lines are fine. Did you tell them when you booked your trip? We did for mine and were told it would not be a problem. Call them and ask. When are you going?

Just to add a third option here, my daughter had green poo for a while, and it turns out that sometimes, purple drink crystals can make your poop turn green. I'd love to be able to quote my source right now, but can not remember...if I can find it, i'll make another post with the link. Just though that might be something else to consider.

ARCHIVED Happy Birthday Lisa!
Daxin replied to jerseyangel's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Happy brithday to you. Have a wonderful, special day! -
I let them know what I couldn't eat, and they were more than happy to help me. Clean pan, and glass noodles or rice instead of the other noodle choices.

"The Wok Box" on Albert is good, but more fast foodish than sit down. The menu is all from souther asia, Indian, Chinese, Thai etc. As far as Teppanyaki, save your money anyway. The Soy sauce is not gluten-free. My wife and I went with some freinds for supper, came out over 100 dollars poorer, and still hungry.

ARCHIVED gluten-free In Orlando And Ft. Lauderdale
Daxin posted a topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Good evening, In addition to our cruise, we have a few days in to kill. We will be spending time in Ft. Lauderdale before our cruise, and Orlando after. Besides Disney, can anyone offer up suggestions for keeping me gluten-free on our trip? Thanks in advance, R -
We're going on Holland America, and our travel agent already called and informed them of my gluten free request. They told her it would certainly not be a problem, so I am excited. We're not leaving until January, so I will keep checking this thread from time to time for more information/reviews etc. Thank to all of you who have replied so far. I will...

My wife and I have just booked a cruise for this January, and are very excited. I'm just curious though. Has anyone here been on a cruise? They tell me gluten-free is not a problem, but I'm understandibly cautious.
