* Gluten un-friendly
- As are Jack In The Box tacos, but oddly so do their regular french fries. This may all be because of fryer cross-contamination.
* “Safer” Fast Food
- But hands down my fave is Burger King, because of their BK Stacker sans bun (large patties with cheese and bacon!) plus their fries DO NOT have wheat. (Their breakfast hash browns, however, are listed as having  wheat.)


// RESTAURANTS
* Red Robin
- We went to our favorite Red Robin one night expecting to have to eat our burgers without buns. The manager informed us that they now have a gluten-free bun option!  It is apparently a brand-new option and participation may vary. (It is not yet listed on their regular menus, so be sure to ask for them.) They do have a full gluten-free menu sheet as well if you ask for it, listing what is safe to eat.
- Also our waitress let us know that the seasoning on the fries should not be used when avoiding gluten. This is the same seasoning they have at the tables and I didn’t see anything in the ingredient list that might contain gluten. (It does have soy though, so I try to avoid it.) Since they recommend we not use it, we took their advice. We felt like they were aware of gluten-free requirements and were able and happy to help us.
- The gluten-free buns are a dollar extra, but if you are like us and are tired (already) of eating a burger with a lettuce wrap, or worse, with cutlery, then just for the illusion of normalcy, they are worth it. And, frankly, quite tasty.

* Picazzo’s
- Pizza and Pasta! (Just not their lasagna and ravioli.)

- Only in Arizona though, folks.

// AMAZING DISCOVERIES
* WalMart is bringing in GF items
- We found GF Betty Crocker chocolate and yellow cake mixes for the first time, plus GF penne and spaghetti. Some even have GF Bisquick.
- The WalMart on Pima and Chapparral have a whole section dedicated to GF, plus also have Udi breads!

* Our go-to dessert are Gluten-free Brownies!

// FAREWELL
* Our intro music is “Enter the Party“ by Kevin MacLeod’s Incompetech.com.

My name is Dan Shaurette. I have a love-hate relationship with food. I love it, it hates me.

Correction… my body hates me. This is not self-loathing, vanity, or any such malarkey. (I’ve always loved that word, malarkey.)

I suffer from a good many ailments, mostly digestive in nature, some pre-cancerous, though allergies and intolerances play a huge part. I’m a foodie though, and I’d like to think I’m a pretty damn good cook. So I suffer for my epicurean tendencies. (That should totally be the name of a soft rock band.) I’m very good 90% of the time in avoiding what I must and what I should. But some times, like the holidays, I suffer the most.

Welcome to 2012. I resolve to suffer no longer, or at least, lessen my suffering.

Based on conversations I have had with friends, family members, and many, many doctors, I am trying a new experiment: a gluten-free diet. No doctors have directed me this way yet, for the record. None have diagnosed me with celiac disease. Yet. I’ve had enough tests that should have shown indications, but I’ll add it to the list if that day comes.

But for at least a week now I have been learning all I can about gluten, celiac disease, gluten-free diets, and I’ve come to a realization. Everything I’ve heard and read says my body hates me for loving gluten. I’ve made sacrifices before. This is a hard one, but not impossible. Not at all.

I’m going to share what I learn here. For good, bad, or ugly, if I learn something, and it can help someone else, I’m damn well going to share it.

I’m not a doctor and I’m not dispensing medical advice. I’ll be linking to other websites and they will have even bigger disclaimers.
