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.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
