    The Chipotle's in northern CA (Sacramento area) are testing out a (shudder...) tofu burrito so they can appeal to the vegan market. I think it is called a "sofrito." Just an FYI for those gluten free people also trying to avoid soy proteins - watch out for the tofu.

    "Cosmetics don't enter the bloodstream.... ?" Not unless they are ingested, duh ! but the residue is always on your hands and anywhere else it's applied. My one dog got in several licks on my cheek tonight (a sneaky kiss, I don't encourage this) when I was in the car and she put her paws up between the seats and was excited when we started off again. ...

    DE works on the exterior of furry/feathery animals as way to kill external insect pests, like fleas, because it cuts into their exo skeletons and they dehydrate. Animals lick themselves when self- grooming, so it obviously doesn't harm them internally, but I don't think this is going to help otherwise. You have to be careful when applying it, don't get...

    Starbucks serves Tazo tea in their tea bags selections. Some of the Tazo Tea flavors did have gluten per the Tazo FAQ on the Tazo website. The Tazo website has been massively overhauled since the last time I checked it. I am seeing many herbal tea blends listed with the generic "natural flavorings" ingredient. In the USA, a natural flavoring as of 2...

    Some hotels will mysteriously make a room fridge appear if you have a medical necessity. Otherwise, keep them frozen until you leave, then you can slow down the thaw with packing a little ice chest with you, then refilling it there with hotel ice - be sure to bring extra plastic bags to keep the food dry. Don't forget to keep your warming or toasting...

    I responded within a few days of a gradual lessening of the dizziness, but I had complications with my c spine being messed up. Took longer for the vision problems to partially resolve, as my eyes will still cross when I get glutened. But I slowly regained my night vision, so I can see to drive at night (being able to see things at night continues to fascinate...

    Gelato! Husband is making chile for dinner, because we finally ran out of the Indian curries we made last thurs/friday. Our 14 year old microwave is not wanting to start anymore, so we are having to boil water on the stove for coffee.... I managed to set off the smoke alarm doing this. I would like to get a new mic just like the old one, and of...

    This is why we moved to another state finally, so we could just visit cold, and then come home an hour and a half later to where it may frost but seldom snows. It wasn't just the cold, it was the cold, the freezing rain ice storms in November-December that coated everything with a half inch of ice so you had to open every latch and gate with a propane...

    Speechless. Please do not eat anything that causes you to break out in hives or causes facial swelling. Please continue to keep a food diary, unless you have a death wish. Please check this dietician's professional credentials via whatever the rules are where you located, and consider filing a complaint. Please work with a professional medically...

    A GIANT GLUTEN DEFLECTO SHIELD ? I WANT ONE OF THOSE. I HAVE NO FREAKING IDEA WHAT I AM HAVING FOR DINNER. WE NEED TO GO TO THE GROCERY AND IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT AND 7 O'CLOCK ALREADY. BUT WE HAD TACO SALADS FOR LUNCH WITH A SIDE OF BLACK BEANS.

    As time passes, celiacs on a gluten free diet tend to react more strongly to cross contamination or glutenings.

    Something funny..... my topical allergies to hay are flaring up a bit... the other day I carefully wiped out all the dog crates, then pro-actively powdered each dog with diatomaceous earth, because I don't want to hit them with chemicals during the time of year that it's cold enough the fleas die if they go outside. We then took all the sheets off the bed...

    WTF somebody lives in Florida and they come home with, first, salmon,and secondly, glutenoid salmon ? That takes some special kind of talent. Then they put this stuff on the grill as if heat can make the problemo go adios. Is 2013 the Year of Magical Thinking ? You'd better tell him not to show up next with imitation crab

    The problem with making it more elastic in the raw form, is then the finished baked product could be used to make car bumpers or drywall. Because I cannot eat as much pie as I can bake, after performing a lot of experiments that merely resulted in having to buy larger clothes but creating the same pie crust the texture of bamboo floor tile, (tasty...

    You wouldn't mind if I dropped one in ten pizzas on the floor in the restaurant kitchen, then. After all, every meal out is a crapshoot. If Domino's and NFCA think it's okay to randomly expose a few celiacs to low levels of gluten, then the rest of the pizza industry shouldn't feel it necessary to be careful about exposing the rest of the pizza eaters to...
