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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
