My 5 year old has a new best friend in her kindergarten class and today was her friend's day to bring in the snack for the class... This very thoughtful and sweet little girl told her parents that she HAD to get a snack that my daughter could have too, so she brought my daughter's most favorite snack in the world, Frito Lay's Funyon's!

It is so heartwarming to see that she has a friend that cares enough to make her feel included! I have sent in a supply of gluten-free snacks that they keep in her classroom for snacktime because most of the time the snacks that are sent in are not gluten-free.

Aww that was so sweet of that little girl. Simple things like that - that people do to show they care really are special.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm thinking the same thing. I didn't know Funyons were gluten-free!

Guest nini

yup, Funyons are Gluten Free! They are listed on Frito Lay's list of Gluten Free products... Chey never has any problems with them. Of course I don't let her eat them ALL THE TIME because they are junk food, but as a treat they are ok. And, yes, they are gluten free!

My son has a classmate with really severe celiac disease and all of the kids understand it and look out for him. It is the dopey adults that don't get it.

That is so sweet! Kids are awesome......it is so amazing how kids really get it . We went to a new church the last few weeks, and before dh or I could get a word in edgewise to Emmie's teacher, Jack pops his head in and says "She can't have ANY gluten, she has celiac disease!". I just wanted to cry, as much as they try to kill each other at times, they really do look out for one another!

Congrats on the new best friend, and good luck on your kindy adventures!

Thank you! I was telling her Godmother and her Nana the story today and I got all emotional talking about it! I thought it was just so sweet!

Kids are indeed awesome!

That is a really cute story. Hopefully your daughter will always find friends like the one she has now in kindergarten. :)

Guest Viola

That is so wonderful! It's this generation that is going to make Celiac disease well known and easy to deal with! Three Cheers for those children! :D

      The pharmaceutical industry (including BIG PHARMA! 😉) is very good about cleaning procedures before different drugs might be made using the same machinery. I don't believe cross contamination would be something to worry about, otherwise people with serious allergies, for example to antibiotics, would have serious issues with prescriptions drugs.

      Thanks for sharing that site! Do you know if that site has any information about manufacturing/possible cross contact on it? I can't find it. When I have called manufacturers, most of them say they can't guarantee no cross contact in manufacturing (except Lannett, Mylan and possible Amneal, which aren't available near me).

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked
