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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
