Holiday Craft Projects Glutenfree And Dairyfree

Before going gluten-free, we used to make gingerbread houses at holiday time. This is our first Christmas gluten-free but I still wanted to keep some traditions, even if we had to tweak them a bit to keep everyone healthy. So, we made igloos. Sugar cubes and frosting. They came out sooo cute and the kids had such a fun time making them. I told them they can't actually eat them (way too much sugar) but I did allow them to eat a little while they were building.

Just thought I'd share.....

If anyone has any other cute holiday projects, please share. I am always looking for more ideas to keep my little ones busy. TIA!

AHHHH YOU MADE MY DAY!!! So you got me to thinking....this past weekend the boy and I made home made marshmallows and they were easy, fun, not too messy and AMAZING!!!!!! I could use marshmallows to build the igloo too! Now, I think i could use my butter cream cheese frosting that I make myself....but what about candy? I hate gumdrops so that's out. Twizzlers are out. Any suggestions? Are there gluten-free twizzlers or red vines?! I am going to Whole Foods tomorrow so I will look around there but any other ideas? I laughed at myself cause I see my igloo in my head with a snickers bar fence and that's it....HEEEELLLLP!

That sounds really cute! But why did you give up your tradition of making a gingerbread house? We do it gluten-free and dairy-free every year and it's great. There's not really much that needs to be done to modify the recipe. I'll try to find a picture of last year's and put it in my avatar.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thanks but that amount of gluten will def have me in chronic pain and discomfort. My hemorrhoids issues are quite severe. Part of the reason I've abandoned diagnosis.

      Are you exposed to any airborne sources of gluten? We have an older house and constantly fixing something. Cutting into old wall board or plaster can release gluten into the air. Also, the sickest i ever got was from taking care of my neighbor's chickens, they get excited and kick up everything, air filled with dust. Sure enough, their food contained gluten grain.  Any pets? If they are eating gluten, they lick themselves, you pet them .... my pets all eat grain free pet food. If I pet someone else's critters, which I am compelled to do, I immediately was hands.

      For the blood screening test or any other testing, make sure you continue eating gluten every day until all testing is concluded. I'm traveling right now, but hopefully someone else can provide the link on how much you need. I think it's about 4 slices of gluten bread a day.

      The early days are often tricky for the newly diagnosed.   There were times I thought I'd never feel better, but it just takes some people longer than others.   Hang on in there, and keep posting with any questions as they occur or if you need any encouragement.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      Thank you, Scott, for sharing the article. I’ve been puzzled by products with gluten-free certifications that also include allergen disclosures stating the product is processed in facilities that also process wheat. It appears industry has moved on. I have little, if any, trust left in the certifications and labeling.
