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.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
