    What's the problem with serving regular beer? It's not going to be a problem for us. There's no cross contamination with a bottle of beer. So, what if I bring a family member, or friend to eat there, and they want to have a regular beer? How is that a problem? best regards, larry mac

    Happened to in Kroger and remembered this thread. So I checked and there weren't any gluten ingredients in their rotisserie chickens. Same for Walmart. Walmart rotisserie chickens used to have bread crumbs in the rub, but that was years ago. We practically live on those Walmart chickens. Ours doesn't have any disclaimers on the rotisserie chicken "thingy...

    I've used starches that are years past the expiry date. And weren't even refrigerated. No big deal. best regards, larry mac

    I've bought Kroger rotisserie chickens before. Don't recall any gluten ingredients. Did I miss something? best regards, larry mac

    ARCHIVED Five Guys

    At the risk of bringing grief on my head, I'd like to express an opinion. I'm well aware of the "heebie jeebies" one can get in an eating establishment, bordering on feeling like a panic attack is imminent. Once you get that "unsafe" feeling, and just know that you're gonna get glutened if you eat there, it's impossible to ignore it. However, for...

    Had one last night. It was fantastic. Crust was thin and very crispy, real pizza crusty. Extremely tasty. Just like real pizza. Absolutely no gluten free hideously tasting bread flavor like all the frozen gluten-free pizzas I've had. Didn't have any reactions. I've eaten hot wings from pizza places before. And Subway gluten-free subs. Talked to the Dominos...

    Aha, it was in new content with new posts, so I didn't notice the OP was old. Darn! Thank you Patti. best regards, lm

    IMO, I doubt if there was enough wheat contamination, if any, to cause much, if any, damage to your small intestines. I wouldn't worry too much about it after the fact. You didn't say if you were diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are self diagnosed with gluten intolerance, or what. That could make a difference also. Celiacs can have long term accumulated...

    As the leading salty snack food company (no other maker even comes close to the number of products or market share), this is a big deal. I recall trying to learn which chips were safe to eat when I was diagnosed. Frito Lay should be applauded for this major step. They are a top notch company. Their products are of very high quality. I say that not only as...

    I was sick for two years before I finally found a good GI. About six months later I broke a metatarsal accidentally kicking the kitchen table leg (another story). As my personal physician and I were looking at the x-rays of my foot, she say's "Look at your poor, pitiful bones"! I love my doctor dearly, but really, is that funny or what? I had one...

    I never do gluten-free. I let the crowd pick what they want, and go get it. Usually it's pizza. Sometimes fast food like Arby's, etc. I'm the only Celiac. We do have a couple of Diabetics in the bunch, which complicates deserts for everyone. I usually just fix myself something (gluten-free of course), and hardly ever have desert. My home is not gluten...

    Not much to go on. What are the details? best regards, lm

    Nobody's mentioned how it tastes! Can't stand Redbridge, and can't get Daura here. Will try it soon as I can though. best regards, lm

    The first thing I do in a case like this (outlandish claim) is see what they're selling. It doesn't take long. Sarah the healthy home economist is selling product links and advertising. "Please contact Sarah at thehealthyhomeeconomist.com for a Media Kit. Please Note: The Healthy Home Economist is part of the Real Food Media online magazine. We have...

    Our Subway had had gluten-free subs for quite a while. They are actually pretty good. As soon as you say gluten-free, they wash hands and put on fresh gloves. The same person handles your food from begining to end. The bread and knife are indivudually wrapped. There's a gluten-free ingredient list at the start of the counter. I think the bun is from French...

    Why would any chocolate milk contain wheat, barley, or rye? I've never seen any. And the only chocolate milk mix I've seen that does is of course regular Ovaltine and Carnation malted. I use Ovaltine Rich Chocolate all the time. best regards, lm

    I've been doing this for five years now, and haven't had a single glutening incident at a holiday dinner. My plan is simple. I don't eat anything that obviously has wheat, or that looks complicated (too many ingredients I can't identify). I eat turkey, ham, brisket, or any meats not fried or covered in gravy. Mashed potatos, corn, or other simple vegetable...

    Threads that start with the declaration "fill in the blank" is NOT gluton free, with no more justification than "it had to be because everything else I ate yesterday was safe". And the product clearly contains no gluten ingredients. Another one. "The person on the phone wouldn't confirm it was gluten-free". So it must have gluten, right? best regards...

    No offence, but the loaf of Rudy's I bought was terrible. Took forever to toast, just your typical sucky gluten-free bread IMO. Udi's is the only bread I've found that's palatable (just barely). I would never touch any gluten-free product again if I wasn't Celiac. best regards, lm

    Never had a problem with MSG, nor do I avoid it. I only care about wheat, barley, rye, and of course oats. Although, if I had inadvertently eaten something containing a very small amount of oats, I wouldn't freak out about it. best regards, lm

    The only safety issue I have is "does it contain wheat, barley, or rye gluten"? If not, it's good to go. I've been safely eating it (and guar gum) for 5 years. best regards, lm

    Happy belated birthday RWG! best regards, lm

    This may sound ridiculous, but I mix Corn Chex & Honey Nut Chex when I eat a bowl. Just the perfect amount of sweetness and crunch! best regards, lm
