Thanks! - Kelly

Very cute, Kelly! - Anne Bouey

Very nice indeed. - Mary from iPhone

I love it when Kelly blesses us with her presence every time she gets her hair done. - chrisofspades

There are many more gluten free options than before. I'm sorry to hear that. - Shevonne from iPhone

Yeah, there's definitely more available than there used to be and the Bay Area is an epicenter of that availability. There are a number of folks here on FF who have gluten allergies and could offer advice. I wonder if there's an FF room for it? Shoot a note to RAPatton, too. He's an expert at making goodies that are gluten-free. - Spidra Webster

We're here for your Stephen. Both Janine and I have celiac so the house is gluten free. Just let me know what you need to know. It's not that bad once you figure out the logistics. You can eat all fruits, vegetables, potato, meat, rice, non flavored chips and once you know where to shop you can make almost anything. Hardest part is being smart eating out but even that's easier than ever. On FF you can ask me, Lix, or RAPatton for advice. - SteVe C

Thanks so much! - Stephen Mack from iPhone

I have a couple emails to send you with local options but I have found that quinoa pasta tastes best (at least to me) and I have a favorite glutin free pasta sauce I'll double check the name for you. Also Mexican food has lots of glutin free options. - Rachel Lea Fox from iPhone

Thanks Rachel! I made him some rice pasta mac 'n' cheese the other night. It was awful. He hated it. (Although Sophie liked it okay.) - Stephen Mack

Yeah I never liked the rice pasta either. You can get quinoa at most super markets. I don't need glutin free in everything but I still make it sometimes. - Rachel Lea Fox from iPhone

My mother-in-law has celiac as well, so we're pretty well-versed on travelling with it as a consideration, where to shop, restaurants that are accommodating (and I imagine that like Seattle, your area has a lot of them). I also agree that the quinoa pasta tastes best and has the best texture. I also have a lot of recipes for cakes, etc. - joey

Stephen, my favorite pasta sauce is Mezzetta Napa Valley Bistro. I love the Creamy Vodka Style Marinara but all of their sauces have been good. I also sent you an article about the all gluten free store in SF but here it is again: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin... - Rachel Lea Fox

Got the e-mail, thanks! So far with Sammy, I've learned he really likes simple. I tried two different gluten-free bars, and the one I thought he'd like with caramel was too much, but the straightforward rice puff and peach one he liked a lot. (He's still not big into sauces.) - Stephen Mack

Oh and there was a discussion on here about a particularly good gluten free brownie mix. But now I can't remember if it was from Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. I'd know if I saw it. Can anyone chime in with the answer? - Rachel Lea Fox

I think the most challenging thing about this is that he's a picky eater to begin with. Plus he's allergic to nuts & peanuts, And plus he's saying he wants to be a vegetarian... - Stephen Mack

Rachel is it this discussion? From that it looks like Trader Joe's is recommended. http://ff.im/R6oEy - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Oh goodness that is difficult. I just know when I was experimenting with gluten free I was surprised to find that pasta sauce had gluten in it. I never would have guessed that. Turns out it was good that I did since it seems I have no gluten allergy but in tomato products they must remove something else, likely a preservative, that I have huge issues with. So all my pasta sauce has to be gluten free. - Rachel Lea Fox

Jimminy, that wasn't the original discussion I saw but I think you are right. I just remember discussing the brownies on here in the past and getting a box and trying it and really liking it. I think the original discussion is so old that it is no longer in the buffer on here. :( - Rachel Lea Fox

Kristine is gluten free and no doubt can help, Stephen. - Louis Gray

Williams-Sonoma carries gluten-free flour and other mixes from Bouchon Bakery: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/search... - Anne Bouey

Betty Crocker now has gf cake and brownie mixes in regular stores both excellent too. How old is Sammy? Just wondering age range to send ya food hints like tequila vs gluten free rice krispies? - SteVe C

Steve, he's 6. Tequila is a ways off. :) - Stephen Mack

How did you get the diagnosis? Our doctor wants us to test Wade to rule out celiac disease. We have to get a blood test, not looking forward to that. - Laura Norvig from iPhone

Laura, blood test from a pediatrician recommended by his teacher. - Stephen Mack from iPhone

Any tips for making the blood draw go smoothly? Wade is not particularly stoic. - Laura Norvig from iPhone

ask the tech to use small "butterfly" instead of needle. Much easier stick - WarLord

Laura: Lorazepam - Brian Johns

Oh man! Sammy is a bread and butter kind of kid so this sounds like tons of fun. Let me know how I can help! My good friend Angela has a son sammy's age who has a wheat allergy so maybe I can get some tips from her. *hugs* - Yvonne from FFHound!

Head out here to Sac one of these weekends and check out Gluten Free Specialty store in midtown - all sorts of food items that are gluten free. I have become friendly with the owner and if she is there she will gladly give you advice and suggestions. I'd be happy to meet you there if you like. You can also like the store's Page on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/glutenf... - Corinne L

Elana has young boys, at least one of whom has celiac (as well as Elana herself), so I expect her recipes are kid-friendly. - Ruchira S. Datta

So far King Arthur Flour has my favorite mixes as far as cookies, cake, bread, and brownies go. I have some Cup4Cup, but I haven't given it a whirl, yet, and Better Batter isn't available around here. This is my favorite pasta: http://www.bionaturae.com/gluten-... - Lix

i'm more impressed by the biking naked - SteVe C

What's the difference between this and resistance settings? - Mo Kargas

Not much - Johnny from iPhone

Surely ankle weights would have little or no effect on the effort expended on a bike? You know, because the one pedal is directly connected to the other, so the weight on one leg is counterbalanced by the weight on the other leg. If anything, I'd say the weights would give you a slight assist. - Slippy

My thighs respectfully disagree :) - Johnny from iPhone

It works as an opposite. While yes the extra weight would help on the down stroke, I still have to lift my other leg with the weight on it. I eaither have all that weight on the up pedal whicj means I have to push it up on the down stroke or lift my leg with the weight on it. Add to that I now have 2Kg strapped to each ankle, that forces me to adjust my balance, working my core. - Johnny from iPhone

Might get some and see what a difference it makes - Mo Kargas

I can get that, and I'm not going to argue with your thighs, obviously, but the weight on your left foot on its downstroke is assisting the right foot in its upstroke. I think. My physics-fu is rusty from years without training. Of course, if you lift off the pedal on the upstroke, you're making both legs work at the same time, increasing the workload throughout. - Slippy

buuuut also increasing the chance you'll fall off the exercycle. - Slippy

I think Slippy is right. All the work is on the downstroke, and that is alternated between the legs. While one works, the other rests. That's how you ride a bike. - April

for the record, Johnny is also wearing nipple weights. But we aren't sure why - Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce
