Disneyworld is absolutely one of the best places in the world to eat gluten-free. Practically EVERY restaurant there can do gluten-free. Call the Disney dining number (you can look it up online) and talk to them about it. richard

ARCHIVED Ratzinger--not Good For Celiacs
lovegrov replied to celiac3270's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This issue highlights why I generally stay away from religion on these boards (although this religious issue DOES pertain to celiac). Catholics believe the host absolutely must have some minimum amount of wheat or it's not the body of Christ. Baptists believe you can substitute grape juice for wine. Episcopalians and others think a wheatless host is OK. Everybody... -
Malt CAN be made from something other than barley but it almost never is. Rice and Corn Chex cereals are not gluten-free. You can sub Rice Crunch 'Ems and Corn Crunch 'Ems. I find them at our natural foods store and at some Krogers. Of course there's no real substitute for the Wheat Chex. If you need a recipe I'd bet you can find one easily by searching...

ARCHIVED How About Raspberry Extract?
lovegrov replied to Donna F's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My understanding is that extracts were considered a possible danger only because of the alcohol used in extraction. It could be alcohol made from wheat. But since this alcohol is distilled, most people I know, no longer worry about this. I have yet to find vanilla or vanilla extract with gluten. richard -
ARCHIVED Teriyaki Sauce
lovegrov replied to mrsfish-94's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Angostura teriyaki sauce wasaGF as of a couple of years ago but you'd need to check it again. richard -
ARCHIVED Preschool Art Supplies
lovegrov replied to lbsteenwyk's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
At last check Ross and Elmer finger paints were NOT gluten-free. Crayola dough was not gluten-free. All other Crayola and Elmer products were gluten-free. All Palmer Paints were gluten-free. richard -
ARCHIVED Best Gluten Free Bread

I've also given up on bread. It's just not worth the money or hassle. richard -
ARCHIVED Cured Of Celiac
lovegrov replied to magaka's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
" If the symptoms lesson during puberty, does the damage also lesson?" I don't think anybody, even an expert, can guarantee anything on this. I think it stands to reason that if symptoms disappear and tests come back normal or nearly so, the damage would be less. But are the heightened chances for all complications reduced? I don't think anybody could... -
ARCHIVED Does Anyone Know If There's A Link?

Never heard of a link. richard -
ARCHIVED Vinegar
lovegrov replied to sdore's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I would avoid the chepaer stuff simply because it tastes awful and isn't worth buying. Still, I've never heard of a balsamic vinegar with gluten -- caramel color or no caramel color. richard -

ARCHIVED Products No Longer Gluten Free..

You really should erase the link in this thread. That list is years and years old and very inaccurate. richard -
ARCHIVED Ouch! Now What Do I Eat?
lovegrov replied to trying4faith's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
"There is a brand of soy sauce (for the life of me I can not remember the name) that I have found in every grocery store I've shopped in (Giant, Kroger, Food Lion, Meijer) and its a blue label. " LaChoy. Also Kroger (last time I checked) and San J Wheat-Free tamari. richard -
ARCHIVED Ouch! Now What Do I Eat?
lovegrov replied to trying4faith's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If you are in the U.S., the Lea and Perrins worchestershire sauce is gluten-free. If you are in Canada, it is not gluten-free. Teriyaki sauce usually does have wheat in it, but not always. It depends on the brand. I'm not absolutely sure which brands are gluten-free (Angostura might be) right now. You can also do a google search and find a recipe for making... -
ARCHIVED Hydrocortisone Topical Gf?
lovegrov replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Although I personally wouldn't worry about whether or not ear drops have gluten, it would appear this is the phone number for the company that makes them. I found it with a google search. Questions or Comments? Call 1 (800) 757-9195 As for the cream, you'd have to get the name of a particular brand and check on it. . richard -
I had DH for more than 20 years and skin contact with gluten has absolutely no affect whatsoever on me. richard

Other than obvious flavors like cookie dough or Oreo, nearly all ice cream is gluten-free. My bet is just about everything they have is gluten-free, they just don't know it yet. richard

ARCHIVED Prescription Products/gluten-free
lovegrov replied to bmh1049's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I'm sure it's be better if you can find a compounding pharmacy locally, but if you can't, here's one you can check out online. www.stokesrx.com/ richard -
ARCHIVED Dh Vs Bullous Pemphigoid
lovegrov replied to lbsteenwyk's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I don't know anything about the other condition but do know about DH. After doing a search for bullous pemphigoid it does look at least somewhat similar. You also need a biopsy to confirm that one. The blood tests for celiac disease were not valid, of course, because your father had been gluten-free or nearly so for a few months. If the dermatologist didn... -
ARCHIVED Prescription Products/gluten-free
lovegrov replied to bmh1049's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Don't ask your doctor OR the pharmacy what's in a medication. Get the number of the manufacturer and call them. You can also look for a "compounding" pharmacy. A compounding pharmacy can make medications using the active ingredient but leaving out the stuff that you can't have. richard -
Every Outback I've been to has the brownie. It's a standard part of their national me4nu and it's gluten-free at every Outback. It's not called a brownie in the title but Chocolate Thunder from Down Under. If you go to the Outback web site and click on the menu, it will tell you to put in a city and state and then it will show the menu for a specific location...

ARCHIVED The Food Bill
lovegrov replied to Knude's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
There is no "cheap" place for gluten-free food, at least not for specialty gluten-free food meant to replace bread, cookies, pasta etc. It's all expensive compared to the non-gluten-free stuff, especially when you add shipping. You'll find sales where you can save some occasionally. My solution is to avoid buying that stuff (especially since I think gluten... -
ARCHIVED Natural Flavorings Etc.
lovegrov replied to jenvan's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Some yogurts use a little bit of distilled alcohol to extract flavors and so warn there could be some gluten. I think all distilled alcohol is gluten-free so I don't worry about the ones that warn about this. richard -
ARCHIVED Mission Corn Tortillas Upc

If you succeed at getting the Mission corn at your Kroger let me know. I tried here where I live and failed. richard
