Hello - I've written before about my daughter and her test results. We've made the decision to go gluten free for her (she's 11). I guess, since pretty much everything I know about Celiac, I've learned from this board - I'm just looking for advice, suggestions, etc. What brands of foods are the best? Any books that are particularly helpful? Corn and rice are always ok, right? But, then, I know there are other things to watch out for like modified food starch - right? Honestly, just about anything that you could tell me, I'd appreciate...Thanks!

Hi, my son has been gluten free for about 9 months but my father is also Celiac so I am very familiar. Yes, corn and rice are ok. If you see modified food starch and your not sure what it is made of just call the company that makes it. That is one of the first things I did. If any of his favorite foods were unclear I called. I also called all of the restraunts that we eat at and spoke with them about what is gluten free on their menus. This backfired on me though with McDonalds and the whole french fry issue. Some of the companies that are good: Envirokids (especially for cereals, cereal bars, cookies), The Gluten Free Pantry (especially for cake mix, brownies, cookies, etc), Gluten free naturals (pizza crust mix, pancake mix, cookie mix). My son likes Ener-G tapioca bread but The Gluten Free Pantry also makes a good bread mix. If I am going to bake from scratch, I actually just got done making cupcakes, I take recipes from a book called The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy by Bette Hagman. I found that a book called Against the Grain was very helpful with educating myself on celiac. Good luck. If I can be any help let me know.

there is a link in my signature of the forbidden ingredient list from celiac.com, it's very helpful when you are learning what to look for.

My girls really like Van's gluten free waffles, and Ener-G crackers, cornbread, and rice bread. Amy's makes some really good gluten free microwave meals (like mexican dinners, and gluten free mac and cheese) Tinkyada is the best gluten free pasta around (I think anyway) it tastes better than "real" pasta.

get your daughter her own cookware and toaster to help with cross contamination (she might like to go pick out her own cooking spoons and stuff)

Thanks for that list. You named some on there that I haven't checked into yet. My family son, father, and aunt are all Celiac and we agree Tinkyada is the best.

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
