We spent from Friday night to Sunday afternoon away. For anyone planning a Branson/Mid-Missouri trip this is what I found out. Steak and Shake (Springfeild)--manager(Delbert) greeted me personally after giving waitress my card, told me he had instructed the kitchen to cook mine seperately and "change your gloves so there is no chance of cross-contamination". I had a salad and a hamburger with no bun-very good. Saturday morning Shoney's in Branson. They had a breakfast bar. Had the eggs, fruit, yogurt. Again staff were great. Supper was at Landry's seafood house. Waitress(Heather) very attentive. Manager, Megan assured me that things would be done right and they were--great. Too good to last. Sunday breakfast Bob Evans, Branson. After explaining and giving a card to the waitress--who was suberb--the manager looked at my card and said"I don't know how we can accomadate you here but I guess we can try. We use our grill alot. Waitress(Donna) suggested an omeltte and potatoes. She would put the rest of the family's biscuits in a basket and away from me. The food was good and as of now I feel ok. I did find out after I ate that supposedly some of their places use pancake batter in the omelettes to make them rise but I don't know.

Just thought I'd pass this on.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
