Hi Everyone,

My 4 year old was dx in June w/positive blood and biopsy. No external symptoms so we don't know if we are doing a good job keeping her gluten-free...that is really hard.

Can you tell me if Lip smackers are gluten-free, smartie candies (I was told yes by the co. and no by someone on another site), and simple fast easy ways for lunches or on the go ideas.

Aside from fruit and veggies I feel like everything else that is gluten-free is not healthy, the cereals, breaads, etc. Any insight would be great!

I have tried posting here before and maybe I actually did but can't remember. Iam having trouble with passwords. Any suggestions thoughts, etc. would be greatly appreciated!

Oh did I mention I am unorganized and so not a cook! :D

Thank you!

Marcy

Kendra thank you for your reply! I can boil water so she has had lots of the tinky pasta. I just feel like she gets variety. I don't know. I was calling around for school supplies and got so frustrated. The lady at avery said they don't put anything from Goats in their glue! I repeated gluten and WBRO but she just kept saying sorry not goat products! So frustrating. Anyway, thank you for your tips ordering pretels now!

smarties in canada are like m&ms, but unlike m&ms they have wheat starch. just so you know. we call your smarties 'rockets' here.

Hi, Envirokids also makes a cereal that resembles Kixs and also one that is peanut butter flavored. My son likes both. We went to the beach a couple of weeks ago and I was at a loss for a lunch to bring for him. He said he wanted chicken nuggets. I figured oh well, why not. So I heated up some of Wellshire Farms gluten free chicken nuggets and put them him his insulated lunch box. They stayed warm and he ate them very happily. Last year when he was 4 I found it more difficult to feed him things he will like. He will be 6 in November and his willingness to try new foods is expanding. Dinner is the easiest because all meats, veggies, and potatoes are ok as long as there are no sauces or gravies. Just watch the instant type potatoes. Hungry Jack and Betty Crocker are ok as long as you stay away from the flavored ones (if not just read the ingredients).

I got on Nini's website for her newbies list. I can't find the link right now but it was really helpful. She had one for school supplies. All crayola stuff was ok except for Crayola dough. Elmer's products were ok except for finger paints. So we went name brand this year :) . Good luck. The longer I deal with this the more I learn I have been doing wrong. I keep telling myself to learn and do better next time. Kendra

I PMed you the school supply list and here would be where you could get the rest. Phone calls are a pain for me too since the kids always act up while I am trying to get some info. :) Kendra

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
