Glad to see you back!

Maybe you have a peanut allergy? I just developed an allergy to peanuts.

I am getting one for sure. I have a severe food allergy and celiac disease.

I think I have missed a lot of the arguing...

Does anyone know if there are any other gluten-free hot sauces?

Welcome

Your tests should be done by now. My previous doctors medical secretary gave me my results over the phone, but I know that this is not normal. If you know the lab that did the testing, you could call and ask them.

I am assuming that they did a Tissue Transglutamase (tTg) blood test, which is highly specific for celiac disease. You can get false negatives with this test if you were on a gluten-free diet and if you are IGA deficient.

I use Vaseline Lotions with no problems. Right now I am using Vaseline Aloe and Naturals Lotion.

I'm glad that your son does not have celiac disease Gluten intolerance is still a possibility though.

I recommend being very careful with his severe wheat allergy though, and you may want to ask his doctor about carrying an epipen if his reactions are really bad.

Hi Carrie,

I also have reacted to "gluten-free" things, and have never had an issue with Frank's Hot Sauce. I've only had the original and Chile/Lime varieties.

I'm in Alberta too and was just recently told to switch over from Epipens to Twinjects because of the reassurance that you have 2 dosages, especially good for travellers. However, they are currently quite a bit more expensive (I don't remember what mine was, insurance paid, but it was about what you paid $140 I believe), anyway it is cheaper than having two Epipens. I expect as they become more prominent (they are a new product) the price will slowly come down, they certainly did with Epipens.

Has anyone had any reactions from Frank's Hot Sauces? Their website says which products are gluten-free:

Q: Are FRANK'S® RedHot® sauce products gluten free?

A: Yes, FRANK'S® RedHot® Original, XTRA Hot, Buffalo Wing Sauce and Chile 'n Lime™ are gluten free.

However, I have reacted to products that are gluten-free in the past because of cross contamination.

Thanks for the info

I'm also between 5'6" and 5'7"

Michelle,

Mine is called a Twinject and there are two doses. I'm assuming that's why it is so expensive! There is one auto injector and one manual needle. They have two in case the first dose wears off before you can get medical attention.

A medic alert bracelet is always a good idea for someone with severe allergies. The bracelet would definately help him away from home. I am thinking of getting one myself now that I have this allergy.

Hi, I am from Nova Scotia. Any more maritimers out there???????????

Good luck! Was your interview last Tuesday or this coming Tuesday?

Sorry you had a bad experience. There seems to be a lot of restaurants that accomodate the gluten-free diet in Calgary. I have only eaten at Splitt though. I like the food there.

Thanks shai76

That price for the Epipen was very high. I bought my sons at the Walmart pharmacy (in Alberta) for around $95-99. Fortunately, for us, the price is covered by insurance. I recommend shopping around for a better price the next time you have to buy one (the shelf life isn't very long unfortunately.)

Wow Good for you! Are you glad that you did your PhD?

I'm sorry I haven't eaten there. I have been avoiding restaurants lately, but I'be been considering going back to Splitt.

2 teaspoons thyme (or more)

1/2 -1 teaspoon cayeene pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried red peppers (or more)

1/2-3/4 cup of Heinz ketchup

Optional: Parsley and basil

Cook chicken, water, broullion, peppers, and all spices in a wok or large pot. Cook rice separatley, sometimes I add a bit of cumin to the rice. Once everthing is done, mix together and add ketchup. Cook for a few minutes and then serve.

*You can add more or less spice according to your taste.

Maybe your daughter could talk to the cooks and explain everything. Maybe they could prepare something safe for her? Or maybe she could ask to see how the food is prepared and see if there are any cross contamination risks in the kitchen.

I heard the Prince Edward Island is beautiful, one of my long time favorite movies takes place there lol
