Hershey's is actually a wonderful company. All you have to do is read the label. Things are not hidden, if it comes from a top allergen it will be listed as such.

I feel blessed with my boss and his wife. She always cooks a huge dinner and we have the party at their house. Since my diagnosis she has taken it upon herself as a challenge. She goes over the menu with me and finds out what brands she needs to buy etc. We talk about cross contamination and where it can occur with what she is cooking. I always have something WONDERFUL to eat!!! This year she made buffalo roast, potato wedges, and a huge salad. I did not feel left out at all. I am so blessed

-Jessica

I would also recommend some of those flushable wet wipey type cloths. They are made by several different companies. They flush and you will thank yourself for getting them!!! If not you will be sore and raw.

Very Interesting, thanks for sharing!! -Jessica

Try Looking under the name "Mexican Wedding Cookies" they are very easy to make. I used to make them pre-gluten-free. You could just substitute a gluten-free flour and they should turn out great!!

Here is a recipe, there are TONS out there

Hope it helps

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup butter or margarine

2 tablespoons confectioners sugar

1 cup flour

1 cup pecans -- chopped

1 teaspoon vanilla

Cream together the butter and sugar until light. Add flour, pecans and

vanilla. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Place on greased baking sheet and

flatten slightly. Bake at 300 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes to only a

light color. Roll in additional confectioners sugar while warm. Let

cool, roll again in confectioners sugar.

That is actually not true. Lotions shampoos etc can still get into your mouth. Do you ever put on lotion and then go eat ? Lotion can get on your hands and under finger nails and then on into your mouth. It is an easy way to contaminate yourself. I know most people also open their mouths in the shower, a little of the water with shampoo gets into your mouth and contamination again. It's better to be safe than sorry.

-Jessica

No problem, hope you get to feeling better soon.

If you are eating turkey that was cooked with stuffing inside of the bird, you are asking for trouble.

-Jessica

My bet would go on the turkey that was cooked with the stuffing. CONTAMINATION!!!! Never eat turkey that is cooked with stuffing.

I was just wondering if anyone had eaten at Culver's? It is a burger type place. It has an allergen listing (which is great) however it lists wheat, which is in pretty much every thing because of the bun! ha I wish they would be more specific like "this is ok without the bun etc". Anyways, just curious if anybody had tried it out. I'm sure I could have a burger, but just wondering if anybody else had experiences from there....thanks!

I get those sometimes also. They are like little pimples, except they don't usually hurt. I am a very clean person so I don't quite understand why or how they get there!!

IBS= I Be Stumped

This quote came from a doctor at the NIH Conference on Celiac Disease!!! I thought it was hillarious, just thought I would share.

I too was given that diagnosis for a while. It is just a cover for the doctors not knowing what in the heck is going on with your body.

-Jessica

I picked up some O'berto's today. The natural flavor is gluten-free and I was sooo glad to get some jerky!! I have been craving this stuff!!

Thanks

-Jessica

I don't know about prego, but classico is a good brand to purchase. They have gluten-free info right on their website under the FAQ's section. They have a variety of sauces and I think they are yummy!!

-Jessica

Here is what classico says about their sauces gluten-free status:

Which of the Classico Sauces are gluten-free?

All of the Classico red and white sauces are gluten-free.

It is sold as like a popcorn topping. It is in a small shaker can like parmasean cheese. I know in the local super wal-mart it is in the velveeta cheese section and with the parmasean cheese. The can is a dark blue color. It is less than 2 dollars and is pretty good.

-Jessica

If there is one thing that I miss, it's beef jerky. Does anybody know if there is a gluten-free brand around? I know it is soo hard to find because most use soy sauces I know I have heard of a few, but I can't recall the names now.

I know I could make it, but that's alot of work and trouble!! haha I just want to go to the store and buy a bag. I'm SOOO Craving it!! HELP!!

Progresso makes a creamy portabella mushroom soup, and also a creamy chicken and wild rice soup (pick the chunks of chicken out). They are not condensed soups so you don't add the extra milk like in the campbels soups. They work really well though for those green bean caseroles and company potato recipes!! Always read labels to make sure you have the right soup, they list allergens in bold on the labels.

-Jessica

Actually when I had called about them, they told me that the pebbles WERE made on dedicated lines, both the cocoa pebbles and fruity pebbles.

I work in 2 pharmacies as a pharmacy technician. I would NEVER ask my pharmacist to do the footwork for me. They are WAY too busy and stressed to take time out of their day to sit on hold for 45 min with a drug company to find out ingredients.

It is sooo much easier for everyone involved if you find out the drug manufacturer and call them yourself. Then you aren't getting second hand information. You can also ask any questions you feel are necessary, and it's one less headache for a busy person who needs to do their job.

Just my 2 cents !

I know brach's makes a candy like those (who knows if those are brach's) however brach's isn't a safe brand because they refuse to let us know if they are gluten-free or not, they just pretty much say "don't eat our candy" GRRRR!!

If I were you I would just throw them away and substitue with something else. (Trade the kids for something safe)

I'm headed to a wedding next week in Omaha Nebraska. I would like some help in finding some health food stores, restaurants, etc. I have never been there, and not really sure what they have Thanks for your help in advance!!

-Jessica

Last time I checked Halls Sugar Free Varieties are gluten-free and also Altoids mints make a great cough drop. The peppermint helps stop coughs. Hope that helps you out, make sure you double check the halls though, it has been since last cold season since I checked it out.

As far as I know 3 Musketeers are gluten-free. Milky Ways' are not and they are similiar to the 3 musketeers. (Milky Way Dark ARE gluten-free however). Anyways, I eat 3 musketeers with no issues and the labels seem just fine. Stop panic ing.
