Making The Whole Family gluten-free?

Thanks again, everyone!

I took the plunge yesterday. I scrubbed my kitchen from top to bottom & completely reorganized it. I broke the news to my kids. My eldest ds and my dh both were a bit upset, but I think they'll adjust. I told them they're welcome to have gluten outside the house, so that eased things.

I scrubbed my toaster oven (for nearly 2 hours!) and had toast for the first time in months - it was DELICIOUS! :) I put a note on it saying "No Gluten Please"... then dh came home and decided on a BLT for dinner. "But, how will I toast my bread?" he pouted. He wound up using the regular oven. We only have a half loaf of regular bread, so I figured I'd be safe scrubbing the toaster now & then not buying anymore "real" bread. Who knew this would be the night dh needed toast. Oh, well.

I'll be phasing out the gluten items as we run out of them (namely, cereal), but I think most of the stuff that would need to be prepared is already gone...

Thanks for all the input and advice!

If it helps, there's a crapload of gluten-free cereal, especially Enviro-Kidz brand, they put a little gluten-free tag in the upper right-hand corner of the gluten free flavors.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
