Jelly beans, gummy candies, M&Ms, and marshmallows are usually gluten-free, and I think gum drops are also.

For homemade desserts for kids, perhaps peanut butter cookies or gluten-free brownies would be good. Tapioca pudding is yummy, but if the kids are having too much fun that might get a bit messy. Homemade "crackerjack" type stuff is easy to make, and kids generally love that. Popcorn and melted chocolate (and maybe peanut butter) formed into squares or balls sounds good to me.

you can make a flourless choclate cake. Its thicker then regular cake but you don't have to worrry about reading ingredients and stuff. Here are some recipes i pulled off the internet..

Only tip for these recipes is if you add vanilla extract make sure it alcohol-free because the alcohol in vanilla has gluten in it. The gluten free vanilla will be alot thicker but it won't affect the cake.

Also, watch out for some gummies because some companies that make things like swedish fish use flour....so my only advise about the candy is just read the ingredients carefully.

we always make our own "jello". the gelatine packets here each gel 2 cups of liquid, you dissolve it in 1/4 cup water, add 1/4 boiling water until it's all dissolved (stirring), add 1.5 cups pure juice (non-acidic, we primarily use purple grape juice) and put it in the fridge to set up overnight. I usually make closer to 4 packets at a time to about 6 cups of liquid. very good.

sarah - when you say gelatine packets, is that some kind of a powder? I have gelatine that looks like see through sheets...do you think that is gluten-free? I am finding that the lables are so incomplete for us...

Can I use the peach juice from canned peaches for the juice?

Thank you!

Hi Alison,

I've never made gelatine using the sheets, but I believe that is just another way it is available, and should be pure.

Open Original Shared Link

had some chit chat about leaf gelatine, and suggested 6 sheets to gel 2 cups liquid... this must depend on the size of the sheets.. I've never seen sheets in stores here.

as for juice, if the peaches are stored in pear juice (usual here) then it should be fine. Pineapple and orange juice are too acidic as far as I understand. We have only ever made it with apple cider/juice or purple grape juice, and never with fruity bits in it. Maybe have trial go with your gelatine before the party, people (esp. adults) here can't seem to resist gobbling it up, even if they'd been teasing me for making it the day before..

I imagine Portugal must make up for it's poor labelling with good wine and warm weather - cheers!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
