i had some wonderful replies, from urls to people's personal recipes,
which i will be happy to forward if anyone would like them.

the urls that were suggested are:
   http://soar.berkeley.edu/recipes/ - has a great gluten free section
   http://home.sprynet.com/~bchefer/main~1.htm - has salad dressings that
you can order (too bad they're not in stores!)
   http://geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/4003/gf-dressings.html - there is a
problem on this web page, which i will explain later
   http://www.cook-books.com/dblogin.asp - you provide your email address
and they will send you a number with which to register

i was also given an address to get a comprehensive list of gluten free
products, the list costs 8 dollars; i was referred to New Organics
dressings which are all gluten free, but i haven't found that one in my
supermarket, i'll try at whole foods; it was suggested i email Lipton
and get a list of all their gf salad dressings, as well as calling
wishbone's 800 number and getting a list of thiers as well.

but here's a little story that just shows in graphic detail how even
dieticians don't know everything:

i went for supper to my father in law's a while back. he is very careful
about my diet, and cooks chicken for me without any bbq sauce, and makes
sure there are plenty of gf things for me to eat...he's very
contientious that way. we had a salad, and i chose  wishbone blue cheese
for the dressing after reading the ingredients and determining it was
gf. i got very, very sick that night, and was wracking my brain trying
to think of *anything* i could have ingested. it was very discouraging,
here my father in law went to so much trouble to ensure everything was
gf for me and i got sick anyway.

then i was doing research and came across this webpage:

http://www.celiac.com/forbiden.html

it told me in plain ol' english that the mold for blue cheese has been
made with bread and is therefor NOT gluten free.

and yet wishbone's dieticians state it is, as i have found it on gluten
free lists elsewhere.

i guess the lesson to all this is to be ever vigilant, and remember,
even dieticians can be wrong...they're not the ones who are gonna be in
agony if you slip up.
