My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac two years ago. :o We have tried a few products, but she is very picky. I am leary to purchase several brands and they go to waste. Several things we have purchased her response is YUCK! I need help. She beginning to lose weight because all she will eat is some fruit, vegetable and meat. She needs good gluten-free carbs. Help Please.... :(

How about mashed potatoes? Sweet potatoes? Rice? gluten-free hot cereal?

Namaste has good baking mixes.

Van's gluten-free frozen waffles with syrup.

Bob's Red Mill brownies

Cause Your Special Mixes (all that I've tried are really good)

Glutino Cinnamon Raisin Bread

www.glutenchallenge.com has some good ideas for kids

Kids seem to like Wellshire Farms chicken nuggets and Ian's frozen meals (the tv dinner-type ones with fish sticks, gluten-free brownies etc).

gluten-free pancakes

Run a search for "gluten-free" on recipezaar and do some baking :)

Sorry, those aren't the healthiest suggestions, but oh well B)

I am thinking like the others, rice and potato products as well as corn and legumes.

Have you tried the rice pastas?

Kids love the Cascadian Farms Spud Puppies (like tator tots).

Alexia Jullienne fries are an option too.

You can make your own oven fries by just cutting potatoes in strips, tossing with a little olive oil and salt, and then baking them until tender and brown.

Bobs Red Mill has a corn bread mix, and there's popcorn, corn chips, and corn tortillas to use in casseroles.

Refried beans or plain canned beans, or make your own fresh, frozen peas and corn, corn on the cob, winter squashes, sweet potatoes are other healthy sources of good carbs.

If she likes hot cereal Erewhon has a cream of rice cereal that is super easy to mix up in the morning. I stir in a little almond butter and top with sliced bananas and berries but you could add in whatever she likes, yogurt, fruit, etc.

I found this link too that might give you some ideas:

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
