Rice Chex are now GF? Great!

Thanks for the tip, Dee.

Never heard of Panda Puffs. Are they by any chance GF also?

YAY! I didn't know Rice Chex were GF now either!

Panda Puffs are from the same line as the Koala Krisps that Mike noted, they are a light peanut butter flavor, not bad!

here is their link, they are Gluten Free and Vegetarian...

I have 2 questions:

Gloria - do you use rice or buckwheat noodles (or something else) in your soup?

Maggie - You are eating dairy! Are you sure that isn't a cause for your continued problems? I've always thought you were an MI similiar to me - in fact, I'd probably bet that genetically you are a DQ1 like Gloria, Rick, and me. DQ1s take the longest time to achieve remission, and have the most intolerances.......and dairy seems to be one of them, unfortunately.
(I miss cheese the most!).

Love,

Polly

I use rice noodles. I find them in the Chinese section. I don't think I've ever seen buckwheat noodles.

The broth was chicken, but the meat was Boar's Head turkey. I added carrots and parsley and dried onions, I think. I found the 40% B.H. turkey you recommended in another store, but I'm still using up the regular turkey that I bought a while ago. I freeze it in cubes and add it to soups and salads on the fly.
