I am such a garlic fiend and would love to make it out that way one of these days! A friend of mine made some homemade garlic ice cream, but I'm not sure if it compares to Gilroys. One day, I hope to find out. I am envious. I am such a garlic fiend and would love to make it out that way one of these days!

We made Gluten Free Stuffing for 3 years in a row with cheese bread and everyone loved it. Then one year my mother in-lawtold her husband that it was gluten free and although he ranted and raved about how good it was before he all of a sudden said "Oh I knew there was something different". Now I am no longer able to enjoy stuffing and turkey as he says he doesn't like it anymore. :( Heaven forbid people try something different and admit that they like something Gluten Free to possibly make the person with Celiac feel better. So now we are back to the contamination factor as before everything was gluten free except the buns and well now I have to hover to make sure people don't mix up the spoons or eat first which always makes me uncomfortable. I have now resorted to hosting every 3rd dinner so that I can have gluten free sometimes. Although my mom makes Gluten Free dinners and everyone loves it especially me! :) Alison I totally feel your pain!

I've also eaten bananas in a number of different locations at different times to rule out anything other than bananas themselves. Very bizarre. Jacqui, How strange that so many of us get terrible pains from our yellow, fruity friend! Hi Kate, Yip, I tried organic bananas and still get the same pains.

Many bananas are of the same strain and they do use chemical on them. It could be the chemicals that are the problem rather than the banana itself. Have you tried organic bananas?

I haven't eaten at any fast food places since going gluten free. Do places like In and Out & Chik-Fil-A have procedures to avoid cross contamination or do they simply offer customers their meals without buns? Thanks!

It is definitely bananas which cause me the awful pains. I don't eat them at all now...it's not worth it as the pain is that terrible. If I eat more than a small handful of blueberries or blackberries I can a similar pain but not as severe as with bananas. It's very strange but after writing this post I got a lot of feedback from people who can't eat bananas and various other things. I wonder what it is inside these things which is giving people problems!? You say you can't eat fruit with small seeds...how are you with other fruits like grapes, melon, pear, etc? Which veggies are you alright with? I agree, it's not too much of a loss not to be able to eat unhealthy things but we should all be able to enjoy the taste and health benefits of fruit and veg.

I have been suffering for years and years and my list of things that I cannot eat has grown incredibly. Tomatoes are by far the worst, but I cannot eat any fruits with small seeds (berries of all kinds, bananas, kiwi etc) I also cannot have a lot of vegetables (cucumbers, zucchini, squash, etc) also salad dressings oil and cream based and greasy/oily things. I cannot eat foods that are fried (no loss there) or anything with butter. I don't mind the loss of dressings and other unhealthy options, but not being able to eat fruits and vegies is really bad. I know that vitimins cannot be enough. I have had so many tests done with no results. I have never heard of anyone having these types of issues before.
