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.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
