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:

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      EXACTLY! I was asked yesterday on my LAST video call with Standford and I stated exactly yes absolutely this is why I need the name! One, get proper care, two, not get worse.Im falling apart, stressed out, in pain and just opened email from Stanford stating I was rude ect.I want that video reviewed by higher ups and see if that women still has a job or not.Im saying this because I've been medically screwed and asking for help because bills don't pay itself. This could be malpratice siit but im not good at finding lawyers

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
