Mags, I am drooling here. Can't eat mushrooms or any of the other goodies you mention but soy motzarella cheese and maybe some chicken chunks on pizza dough might almost make me think I'm alive again. Thanks for the pizza idea.

A couple of days ago I saw the Amy's Soy Cheese Pizza at the store - BUT the ingredients had milk protein - I was bummed and put it back.
Another thing about the fast food. You can go to Taco Bell website - it's very cool. You can get nutrition facts on each item but then customize it i.e. Chicken soft taco No Cheese and it will tell you how many fat grams etc.
I printed it out once and figured there were about four things that were 5 - 7 grams of fat and didn't have anything obviously bad. I haven't actually eaten there yet. Makes me nervous that there's hidden stuff i.e. msg in the chicken or whey in the tortilla. Who knows???
The only two places I know are safe for me are:
El Pollo Loco - I get a boneless/skinless chicken breast and flour tortilla and have never gotton sick.
Pick up Stix - House Chicken with zucchini and water chestnuts on steamed white rice. They use very little oil and I have never gotton sick there either.
Hope this helps,
Leigh

I cheat a little on the weekend. It is the only time I see my boyfriend and I don't want to stay at home all the time! I admit that I go to McDonalds and get a Grilled Chicken sandwich. I have them put it on the regular bun (with no sesame seeds) and I have them take everything off of it. Then I ask for the low-fat mayo they have in packets. So far...I have not gotten sick eating this. I am sure a lot of people would have problems though!

Is there any way to determine if it is dark or light meat chicken?

Hello,
My boyfriend actually worked at Taco Bell for a little while, and he says that they use white meat...grilled with some seasoning to give it more flavor.
We live in Canada, so I don't know if it would be the same in the US, but it's light meat here!

At least now, I feel that its okay to ask for these things. Before I didn't want to seem out-of-place due to my diet restrictions, but now I feel comfortable doing so thanks to everyone here:)
Good for you, Lilybear!! You ROCK!!

I don't know about the turkey pepperoni specifically, but some people have issues with turkey (esp. processed stuff) as it can be higher fat and harder to digest than chicken.

When I eat Chinese I always get the same two things: a bowl of plain white rice to start and then veggie lo mein (you could probably try shrimp or chicken, too) and I've never had a problem.
My local Pizza Hut has told me they'll be glad to make me a pizza without cheese, but I haven't tried it yet.
Watch out for Boboli. I read the list of ingredients and there are 2 or 3 dairy items in there. They list them in boldface - I keep meaning to write and thank them for that.
I use the Pillsbury Classic Pizza Crust in the refrigerator tube. No dairy. It fits on a medium cookie sheet (about 15 inches by 10 inches). And Heather's mushroom/rosemary and BBQ chicken pizzas are great. I use the Pillsbury crust and follow their cooking directions, but use Heather's toppings.
