Carnival Cruise Line Introduces Dedicated Gluten-Free Dining Options
ronaboat commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Travel
This is fantastic news but when they say “dedicated” do they mean a separate kitchen area, dedicated oil, awareness of cross contamination etc., or just a separate menu? -
Feel really weird on gluten free
ronaboat replied to zentg's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
There are SO many brands now of frozen dinners, pizza, pasta, lasagna etc that I’m sure you will find a fav amongst them. A surprise is the Sam’s Choice gluten-free bread (white and multigrain) which I only found by accident in a Walmart because it is NOT FROZEN but sits with their regular bread choices!!! Who knew? It doesn’t even need to be toasted and m... -
Hofstra Students Petition for Gluten-Free Dining Awareness
ronaboat commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
This is so heart warming to hear about these universities’ initiatives. I had no idea and agree that so much work does need to be done to educate. Thanks for sharing. -
Hofstra Students Petition for Gluten-Free Dining Awareness
ronaboat commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Thanks Elrond for your clarification. I’m Celiac and with 14 years of misdiagnosis my career was seriously disrupted and I just don’t trust others to be as vigilant as I always try to be. Perhaps a residential setting is different in the US. I was always able to microwave, grill on a George Foreman grill or make sandwiches, eat fruit, veggies, nuts, sa... -
Hofstra Students Petition for Gluten-Free Dining Awareness
ronaboat commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Having read more articles about the university experience now, I am more aware that many universities have already added separate kitchens and dining rooms on their campuses. This is a move in the right direction and I love the “food court” idea where each separate station only concentrates on preparing one dish (preparing it well and in great quantities) so... -
Hofstra Students Petition for Gluten-Free Dining Awareness
ronaboat commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
I agree that the University needs to be aware of and enforce procedures that are required for students with Celiac Disease or other allergies but to expect them to have a separate kitchen is perhaps a little too demanding I think. My friend owns a catering company and she has color coded separate utensils to avoid confusion but there are still times mistakes... -
Best Gluten-Free and Gluten-Safe Snacks for Super Bowl LIII
ronaboat commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Slim Fast does a selection of baked potato chip snacks in various flavors which they advertise as 100 calorie snacks. All but one flavor (I think) are gluten-free. I like the BBQ and Sour Cream & Onion flavors best. -
Celiac Patients Are Bad at Judging Gluten Exposure Based on Symptoms
ronaboat commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Latest Research
Gosh I don’t feel sick or have to rush to the bathroom! I sometimes get sharp stomach pains about an hour later but mostly I just feel “off”, foggy brained and very lethargic. I sleep a lot for a few days. Sometimes the symptoms last for a whole week. I often get mouth and tongue blisters immediately after I’ve accidentally ingested gluten or eaten too man... -
These forums help us all continue to learn and brain storm. We always have to read the packaging but more concise labeling would really help. I recently became a cropper of a product I’d eaten for a few years changing either its manufacturing facility or something else. It’s a popular item on our film shoots, a tasty sweet & salty “trail mix with ...

Sour TripAdvisor Review Slams Lack of Gluten-Free Bread at Funeral
ronaboat commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Additional Concerns
I agree they did their best to suggest she bring her own bread. To a Celiac that would have been a red flag that they might not understand enough to supply “safe” food and have a contaminated kitchen so I would have packed my whole meal in order to be stress free. -

Brussels Sprouts with Ham and Leeks (Gluten-Free)
ronaboat commented on Jefferson Adams's article in American & British
Sounds delicious!! Which ham is gluten-free? Used to only be two places you could order gluten-free ham from. Has this changed over the years? I love my Brussels sprouts and leeks!! Yum! -
Also, I actually gained weight when I began the gluten-free diet. I had stayed the same thin weight since high school probably because I wasn’t absorbing my nutrients etc and, since I became lactose intolerant, I suffered badly with constant diarrhea ...so when I started eating gluten-free bread and cookies and food that DIDN'T cause me cramps etc I gained a...

Sarah, I am confused. Have you started a gluten-free diet BEFORE taking your tests? Is that why you are losing weight? It’s my understanding you need to be eating exactly what you always eat (including the gluten) before they can accurately diagnose your condition. In my day it’s why I almost died during the final three weeks of waiting for my endoscopy bec...

Many Naturally Gluten-Free Foods May be Contaminated
ronaboat commented on Destiny Stone's article in Additional Concerns
Well...I think “naturally gluten free” has to be taken in context. If the whole factory is only making naturally gluten free items then it should be ok. Same as you can feel “safe” in a dedicated gluten free bakery whereas don’t even try to go into a regular bakery or pizza parlor where there’s gluten in the air and on all the counters!!
