Hi,

I don't have a list, but I do work in an art supply store, and have been working with all kinds of supplies for over 35 years.

Let's see....you should be safe with almost any tempera paints (check individual brands but most if not all should be okay), and also with almost any acrylic paints - those are just essentially pigmented polymers, nearly all synthetic with the exception of some cobalt or cadmium pigments. Oil paints are safe - if you want to expose your child to the toxic fumes - - better used outdoors or in a well-ventilated room - but do consider the mess! [i taught art for three summers to children and would only use water-based mediums.] Watercolors and gouache are definitely safe - largely just pigment and gum arabic. Crayons, felt pens, colored pencils. chalk and oil pastels - - all safe.

anything else I can help with? :) Are you wondering about anything specific?

I think that Elmer's glue in gluten free. Crayola addresses the gluten issue on their website. Off of the top my head, I think the only Crayola product that contains gluten is their dough.

Crayola and Elmer's have gluten statements online. Moon Sand is gluten free. If yours is still into Play Dough, look online at Discount School Supply, they have gluten free play dough, I think it's made by colorations or something. It's clearly labeled as wheat free.

If your dd is in school, you also need to be aware of certain projects they do in class. Your dd shouldn't make the "macaroni necklaces" or anything w/ regular noodles. Floam is NOT gluten free. Moon sand is gluten-free, and my dd's LOVE it!

It is late and that is all I can think of off the top of my sleepy head!

I thought the company just wouldn't confirm FLOAM's gluten status.

When I called Floam a couple of months ago I got the beloved "what's gluten?" response. I asked the girl to read me the ingredients and it sounded fine. It's just made out of Styrofoam balls and highly processed organic compounds. Nothing in the ingredients caught my attention.

So FLOAM probably is gluten free, they just didn't know what gluten was, right? Argh... These companies that don't know what's in their products...

Moon Sand is gluten-free. You can find all over and makes a great replacement for playdoh since it never dries out.

You should check out www.bluedominoes.com. They carry gluten-free playdough that has been certified by the celiac sprue. The play dough has also been accepted by Feingold and when I googled that it means it doesn't contain any artificial colors. Also doesn't have soy, nuts, dairy and other stuff. I emailed them and they are going to be adding more products so I guess I'll check back in awhile and see what else they have. I ordered the dough. Here's the link: Open Original Shared Link.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
