Okay, I know this sounds really gross, but the end result is actually quite tasty. I have a hard time getting my daughter to eat anything nutritious, so I often have to get creative. This evening, I crushed up Cheetohs and used them to coat chicken. I baked them at 400 until they were brown. They actually taste really good. I didn't use milk or egg or anything on the chicken, just dipped it into the cheetoh powder. Not only does she like it, but I do too. I know it's not the most nutritious thing, but at least I finally found a way to get her to eat meat. Normally she won't touch the stuff unless it's processed.

Also, if you have a food processor and a toddler, I highly recommend buying a popsicle tray and making popsicles out of fresh veggies, berries, and juice. They're actually not horrible, the cold really hides the flavor. My daughter LOVES these! I do about 40/40/20, veggie, berry, juice.

I have one of those too, my youngest sean is the pickiest child I have ever come across. Mainly my fault for catering to it for so long. Were trying to introduce new things every day now cuz its just getting old. How could he choose a hot dog over a NY steak? :blink: The cheetoh crust sounds good to me, kudos for your creativity.... :D

That sounds really good. I tried the same thing a few weeks ago with Cool Ranch Doritos, and they were so bland I was shocked. You'd think that something as strongly flavored as Doritos would have the same thing come through as crumbs. But no, not at all.

Thanks for the recipe!

Nantzie, try adding some ranch dressing powder mix to the crushed doritos... See if that enhances the flavor. I may just have to try that. Sounds delicious.

When I contacted Hidden Valley, they said that their powdered ranch mix has traces of gluten. I was such a Hidden Valley fan before. Are there other brands of powdered ranch mix? I haven't even looked yet.

Someone on here has a recipe for powdered ranch dressing, maybe Elonwy. I don't remember. Maybe they will see this? Or you could put up an ISO post. Either way, that sounds fabulous with the ranch chips. I'm going to have to try it.

      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.
