Do me a favor, when you have some time, check on the box and see if it has a website or number listed to call. Post that for me and I'll do some footwork. Thanks.

Open Original Shared Link is their "where to find philly swirl" link.

-Jessica

Open Original Shared Link is their website. I am in Kansas and we have Philly Swirl here. Good stuff!!

-Jessica

What company makes those? Does their policy only list top 8 allergens?? Most do. Not picking on you, just trying to find out because I couldn't find the "Maker" online after I read your post.

-Jessica

According to the conAgra policy on gluten they only list wheat ingredients.

Here is a quote from their website hope that helps you:

What is gluten?

Gluten is a mixture of plant proteins that occurr in grain. A small percentage of the population have an intolerance or allergy to foods containing these proteins.

Which of your products contain gluten?

We are sorry to inform you that we do not have a source that lists the gluten content of our products. However, our product labels list common allergens; such as wheat, for those allergic to wheat gluten.

I love Philly Swirl. They clearly label GLUTEN FREE I would suppose if Sam's stops then Wal-Mart would stop also. Grrrrr

-Jessica

Did you find this out from the company?? Can you post their letter/response? Just curious. Thanks!!

Amy's Organics makes gluten free frozen dinners. They are also vegetarian.I am not vegetarian, but I love amy's meals.

Also another idea that I use all the time. Put a portion of whatever you cook into a glad/ziploc plastic container and label and freeze. Much healthier than processed food and you know you will like it!!

-Jessica

The Amy's meals are cheaper, but less of a selection than the health food store where I sometimes buy them.

-Jessica

There is a supertarget that I visit on occasion and here is what I buy.

Amy's Frozen Dinners

Envirokidz Cereal

Thai Kitchen Products

Well, now I use mexican tortillas instead, three of them, layered with gluten-free pizza sause, cheese, mushrooms, some other stuff. Bake it in a toaster oven.

I tried this sort of thing tonight. I took a mission white corn tortilla put it on a Pam'ed baking sheet. Sprinkled some cheese over it, topped it with another tortilla, pizza sauce on the top of that one then toppings (hamburger, pepparoni, mushrooms, onions, green peppers) and then more cheese on that. Baked at 450 for about 10 min.

It was REALLY good. It reminded me of a cross between thin crust pizza hut pizza and those little english muffin pizzas I used to make all before the gluten free days.

I would definately try this again, maybe next time with ham and pineapple mmmm

That is a great list for newbie parents!!! Especially the craft info. You put a lot of work into it. Nice job!

It is very sad that the options for a older adult with celiac are so slim. We recently had to place my great grandma (not celiac) into a assisted living facility. I have seen what they eat there, everything is a caserole or has bread, or is breaded. I couldn't imagine putting a person with celiac disease into assisted living and having them be "safe" from contamination.

Have you looked into a private nurse or home health care? Many places offer that service. The person comes in and does some light cooking and cleaning. There are even 24 hour care nurses that pretty much live with the patient. Medicare even pays for some of this if the person is elligible.

Maybe you can start your own gluten free rest home

-Jessica

That is a great idea!!

Gluten Free Living Open Original Shared Link -

Living Without Open Original Shared Link

I like living without better, it's not totally dedicated to gluten free , but has lots of good stuff. Gluten free living is more technical/less fun.

-Jessica

I LOVE kozy shack European Rice pudding!! They are a wonderful company. They state gluten free right on their label.

-Jessica

Wow that's really reliable/professional of them.

-Jessica

I like the doughnuts. They ARE heavy, can double as a paperweight is what I always say. However, I think they taste really good!! If you were a doughnut lover before I think you would like them.

I also like the Ener-G doughnuts holes. They aren't bad.

-Jessica

Manna from Anna has a wonderful bread mix. It is the closest thing to "real bread" that I have found. It actually TOASTS for a grilled cheese!! Awesome stuff.

-Jessica

I can't wait until they hit the stores. I LOVE new things!! I have always been one of those people to try out the new products. I bet that show was a blast!

-Jessica

OR you can just beat them on the countertop until they break up!!

*Hot showers/hot bath (take your time in there, seems to help loosen)

*Pepermints (altoids are gluten-free)

*Vicks Vaporub

*Drink lots of fluids to loosen up mucus

*Eat some spicy food (that always seems to get the nose running)

*hot soup

*hot beverage (tea, hot chocolate)

*heating pad/microwave hot pack on your neck/forhead

Just a few things you can do and things you probably already have at home.

Not sure where ya live Jeepster, but sounds to me like plain ol fashioned seasonal allergies are kicking in. Try the OTC eyedrops, but they also make some presciption eyedrops and prescription meds that are great for allergies.

-Jessica

Gluten free pantry has a great pie crust mix. Not sure if it is Free of all the things you need, but might check it out. We use it for lemon meringue pies all the time!!

-Jessica

I think that I most likely would not take it. I might take it for special occasions or cravings. I would need a golden guarantee that it was working, not just masking symptoms and still causing damage. Also, I would imagine that it would be very expensive (like most prescriptions). I would rather not spend extra money when Celiac disease can be controlled by eating the right foods.
