We went out to dinner the other day and I ordered my DD mashed pot. with gravey. My husband said it shouldn't be used as it was probably thickened with flour. I noticed today that there was mod. starch in the pudding pack we had here. *sigh* Are there any premade graveys, puddings, etc that are ok?? And my husband asked about icecream. I assumed that icecream that didn't have cookie or cake of some sort in it should be fine. He wasn't so sure. We only have Bryers here and there isnt' anything in it.

I got hit with a reality check on the MD's fries and started asking about those in resturants and found that one of the places we go to all the time roll them in flour. :( I hate this diet!

Anyone have some suggestions on any of these things?? Or am I at a total lose!!??

I have put together a list of things my son will eat for family members who keep him. I'd be glad to send it to you if that would help. He's 3 and very picky. I'd stay away from anything in a restaurant I couldn't verify was gluten-free. It's overwhelming at first, but it's not that bad after a while. I think most ice creams are ok, but always call the 1-800 # on the package to make sure. Edy's sent me a list last week that has most of their products on it. Most Ore Ida fries are ok (call heinz and they will send you a list), and Hunt's pudding and jello Snack Pack cups are ok. We keep those on hand. Not all starches are bad, but you have to call the company to find out what their sources are. I found some gluten-free gravy mixes at the health food store, but I can't remember the name. it was in a red package. I altready ate it and it was pretty good. You can also make gravies using corn starch as a thickener. I even made biscuits with gravy last week using a gluten-free baking mix and it was pretty good. I hope that helps.

Yes please I would love the list!! mrsnj91@aol.com Just put in the subject what it is. That would certainly save me time!!

See it is the whole cooking thing that is the problem! LOL! I am not a cook. I can but I HATE it! Totally. So we tend to order take out and go out a lot! :rolleyes: Like gravey....I never make it from scratch. Good thing is that when I cook it is a lot of basics. Meat, pot and veggies. But there are some things that stump me! And her being little I tend to have to bring things to much on or find treats,etc that an adult wouldn't have to deal with. Like pudding! ;)

As for the pudding , my son (2 1/2) loves Kraft's pudding, the vanille flavor, and thats gluten-free. We buy 1 or 2 packes a week, and its liek 96 cents for a pack (4 cups) at my Kroger.

"Orgran" has a gluten-free gravy mix that we use as gravy and I also sprinkle on things for seasoning sometimes.

Newman's Own Tomato & Basil Bombolina pasta sauce is gluten-free - my kids love it on gluten-free pasta.

I second the thought of staying away from eating out. It is very hard not to get gluten from restaurant eating. This was very hard for us at first, but now we are used to it. If you are not a cook, you can start out using more of the mixes and convenience foods until you are ready to move on. It is all so overwhelming at first. For the first year, I used more mixes than I do now. Amy's makes some gluten-free food that is microwavable. Check out some of the product lists I have seen around the board for help. I am just now starting to do more "from scratch" cooking. I used to (pre-celiac days) love to bake, but not to cook. Now I am learning to like to cook - I guess necessity is the best teacher! :rolleyes:

Kozy Shack puddings are great. I've had the tapioco, rice, and chocolate. I don't know if they have other flavors. The ones that are gluten-free clearly state it on the package. I hadn't heard of the brand and didn't know if I would like it, but I love it.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
