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.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
