A Good Idea

Just thought I'd pass along an idea that worked for us last Christmas.

When kids are invited to decorate holiday cookies and there is no time to bake a gluten-free batch, here's a quick solution:

Purchase a box of Pamela's Shortbread or Lemon Shortbread cookies. Get a tub of Duncan Hines Homestyle vanilla frosting and some Betty Crocker decorating gels and colored sugar. Be sure to pack plastic utnesils for your child to use (and not share!) That's the hardest part!

wow! Great tip. Thanks. I have tried to find mainstream frosting that was gluten free and was unsuccessful before. This makes it so much easier at this time of year. Sandra :D

Duncan Hines "Cream Cheese" frosting is also gluten-free....the most amazing frosting I've ever had! Everyone I know who has tried it has loved it...it doesn't actually taste like cream cheese, of course...I don't really know how to describe it. I never bothered to find out about the rest of Duncan Hines frosting or any other frosting -- I like that one flavor enough to stick with it :P

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles...

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
