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.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.

      No they did not run a total IGA. But wouldn’t the DPG-IGA also be negative also if I was IGA deficient? They did also run a TTG-IGG and a DPG-IGG and they were also negative.

      The DGP-IGA is valuable when celiac is suspected but the person being tested is IGA deficient. Were you tested for IGA deficiency. In other words, was there a test known as "Total IGA" ordered? Here is an overview of the various blood tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease:

      Has anyone ever negative blood work except for the DPG-IGA? Mine was 42 (reference range negative is >20. The TTG iga was negative. I have always suffered from bad gas issues and lately have been having bouts of diarrhea and constipation. I also have a bumpy rash that comes and goes below both elbows. i have an endoscopy scheduled in May but I was just wondering if anyone else had bloodwork like this and what was the end result?
