    Yes! And if you stop by the booth and talk to them, in the past anyway, they have a wheel to spin for some coupons! And they generally hand out coupons any way I think. I had forgotten about it, so thanks for posting this!

    Hello! This is my 3rd Minnesota State Fair being Gluten Free, though I missed last year. I have never gotten CC'ed, but never chose the options where it seemed likely to have that happen. There are gluten free (Udi's bun and all!!!) Chicago Style or State Fair Style Hot Dogs this year!!! And some gluten free Risotto Poppers! Yum! I cannot wait to try them...

    It seems as though gluten hides everywhere, even licking an envelope to seal it has glutened me (little did I know....). I have been gluten free almost 2 years and look at every label, everytime, and still get glutened occasionally from cross contamination. Hope you figure it out! Good luck!

    My boyfriend is not gluten-free, but since I am the chef of the house, he is forced to eat anything I make He happily does it, but in the beginning he did say it made him feel weird. Never went farther than "weird", but now he never complains...maybe it's just introducing something different? I dunno..according to Dr. OZ 99% of us have some kind of gluten...

    I haven't had a reaction, but there could be CC, and you could have been very unlucky. I ate multiple kinds of Lay's chips that were "no gluten ingredients, but processed on the same equipment blah blah blah"....I was fine probably 20 bags in, I got glutened and will not eat them again. All it takes is that one time to ruin it M&M's and Reese's...

    Yay!!! I went off dairy for about a week after being diagnosed, so good job on the waiting!!! It's hard enough going gluten-free, so good for you!! Worth the wait I am sure...

    Wow, thank you everyone!! Lots to think about. My cousin is a dietitian who happens to specialize in Celiac, weird huh? Maybe I will speak with her and see what she says. I just want to feel good! Tired of this crap....literally...

    Thanks!! Glad to know I am not alone. I hate the thought of cutting anything else out...but before I was diagnosed I couldn't imagine cutting out gluten, yet here I am very confident about eating and cooking gluten-free. Are there blood tests my regular doctor could do to see if I have other food intolerance? Of course I am going out of state this weekend...

    My posts are always so long...I just try to be detailed. Thanks to anyone who reads this and has advice! I still can't believe I lived so long with my bathroom issues I had before getting diagnosed, and that's why I am trying to figure this out NOW. After finding out I had Celiac Disease, and went gluten-free, I couldn't believe how much better I felt...

    February...BUT, I was born in New Mexico, a warmer climate maybe? I dunno lol

    I agree about the 100% gluten-free restaurant...I have this dream as well! My whole family says I should, too bad it's a lot of money to get that kind of thing going. There is ONE that I found in Asheville, NC called Posana Cafe Open Original Shared Link We drove through there on our way to the East Coast and I was SO excited to eat there. There must have...

    I agree about Redbridge! I drink it all the time, and they have it at our new Twins Stadium here in Minnesota! I was so excited, I ordered two as they are only at a few locations around the stadium. I had been drinking them out of the bottle the whole time, and at the game they poured them into a cup. They tasted like real beer!! I actually had three of the...

    In the beginning as your gut heals you can have a harder time processing dairy. I had the same problem, I just laid off the dairy products for a few weeks and it went much better. Slowly introduce it back...I did hear some people say they stayed off of dairy for months, so it all depends on your body. That's the advice I got on here, so hopefully it helps...

    I haven't had a another endo, but I had the blood tests and they all came back normal (no antibodies). I still have bathroom issues occasionally, I am wondering if there's something else my body isn't tolerating...afraid to find out :\ But really the joint pain in your shoulders and thumbs you mentioned stuck out to me. I don't get really bad pain, but...
  15. glutenfreeinminnesota
    I have been fine every time for almost 2 years...but now I am afraid to eat them! It's like playing roulette with my gut. Not a game I like to play.
  16. glutenfreeinminnesota
    thank you!! Glad I'm not the only one.
  17. glutenfreeinminnesota
    Oh I didn't mean to make it sound like I get defensive. I am far from mean or angry about it. I just simply tell people how it affects me. That's all I was getting at Thanks for the other post though!! We have so many weddings coming up to go to.
  18. glutenfreeinminnesota
    Thanks for the info!

    It's great for pizza crust, too!! Pretty sticky, so just keep your hands wet with water while flattening it out. My gluten eating boyfriend loves this mix the best of all the others...the others are "too thick" for him, but this he doesn't complain about

    I still occasionally have bathroom issues. I was ok at first...maybe the first year, and I KNOW when I get glutened as I get the bad pain/sweating/headaches/D and so on. There are days that I go to the bathroom 3-5 times with no pain or D related to it. It just becomes "urgent" and I have to go. I really don't think I am driven enough to do an elimination...

    I have never really had a high stress life...but I will say when we moved 1300 miles (New Mexico to Minnesota, huge change) from the place I was born at 14 years old (right before high school ) I got sick and missed months of school, and was ultimately homeschooled due to bad stomach pain. They never said a word about Celiac Disease then....the only thing...
  22. glutenfreeinminnesota
    Sorry to hear people are not supportive! I am lucky to have family who saw my pain pre-diagnosis and realize how much better I am now gluten-free. BUT, my out of state best friend couldn't understand why I couldn't just eat gluten this one time for her big day. I flat out told her...If I ate one bite of her wedding cake, I would have to leave the reception...

    Too bad, the other one's are so delicious. Haven't tried STAX, but I will!
  24. glutenfreeinminnesota
    I have been gluten free almost 2 years now, and it seems as though I am still learning. So frustrated!! This whole time I have been eating the "gluten free" Lay's chips (many different flavors) as they claim to be one of the brands to label wheat on their packaging. Don't think I have had a problem with them in the past...but maybe when I couldn't figure...
  25. glutenfreeinminnesota
    Hahaha!! Yes...I just scraped off the burned nasty-ness It costs too much to throw away!
