My children just changed schools and the new school has been very supportive and interested in learning what they need to do for my son regarding celiac disease, but they asked me if I could get gluten-free recipes for paper mache' and playdough for the art teacher to use.

Anyone have recipes for either of these?

Thanks for any help.

Just found this--

For 1 to 1-1/2 cups of paper mache paste, mix together:

1 cup original Bette Hagman flour mix

1 tsp xanthan or guar gum

1 cup lukewarm water.

Continue adding water (about 3 cups), mixing well in between, until all the lumps are gone. Bring mixture to a boil in a saucepan & cool completely. To make paper mache pulp, place several sheets of junk mail or newspaper torn into tiny pieces) into a blender or food processor with some water & blend well. Strain the pulp using a colander or sieve. Mix the pulp with one Tbsp or more of white glue if allowed based on food allergy. For projects that require strips, tear newspaper into long thin strips. Dip the paper into the paste mixture above & scrape the excess off with fingers. Layer the paste covered strips onto your project.

All of Elmer's products are gluten free except for some finger paints. We did a paper mache project with my son last spring and just used elmer's glue that was watered down. My "recipe" which I got off the internet, was 2 parts glue to 1 part water. I did not measure anything, I used a little more water than they said, and the project turned out fantastic.

Thanks guys!

I really appreciate your help. I finally got a school that is willing to work with me, and I didn't want to let them down right from the start.

Thanks again!

All Crayola products, except Playdough, are gluten free. So all the clays are gluten free. You can also buy gluten free playdough that comes in colors here:

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
