Does Anyone Have "eating Gluten Free With Emily?"

Hello:

Thought I'd toss this out to see if anyone could lend me this book. Our six year old was diagnosed with Celiac last week, and she will be returning to school tomorrow after a week's break, while she healed. Her first grade class wants to know what's been wrong with Sierra, and the teacher has asked me to come in to speak. I have tried to find this book everywhere....libraries, EBay, Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc. It is back ordered or temporarily out of stock. Amazon says it can get it to me in April.

Does anyone have a copy they could ship? I promise to take very good care of it and return it promptly. I will gladly pay postage both ways, as well. Let me know if you can help us out. It sounds like such a great tool, especially since it's a little girl close to my own little girl's age.

If anyone else knows where I can find a copy in stock, please let me know.

Thanks!

:D Yippee...I found it at a library outside of our county (but still only a 20 minute) drive. They're holding it for me; plus I have it on order from Amazon, so my dd can have her own copy.

I am glad you found it! Are you thinking about taking in samples/examples of non-gluten food/items for a show and tell? The kids would probably like that. I used to have a day care, my own kids are 17/20, but I always think about the little kids out there. I feel for you guys with all that you have to go thru with school. We just started gluten-free last year.

Happy reading :)

We found that book at the library & it was great! My dd brought it to her preschool & they had a great time reading about it & discussing it. It really helped the kids understand what dd has & why.

Not sure how old your child is, but we brought gluten-free food boxes for her preschools "grocery store" & it was fun for dd to have to shop for gluten-free foods at school :)

GL!

We have it and it's a great book. I wish that they would also make a "Eating Gluten Free with Ethan" or something....my 5 yo hates to have to lug around his "girlie" book, lol.

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By trents · Posted

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      I realize I'm super late in the game regarding this topic but in case anyone is still reading/commenting on this one-does anyone who is especially sensitive have their personal observations to share regarding Primal Kitchen brand?  My daughter was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with celiac and within 6 months, her follow up labs were normal and a year later vitamin levels significantly improving, but we are still battling GI symptoms; particularly, constipation, so much that she has been on MiraLax every day since she was 3.  We've managed to get her down to a half cap every other day but without that, she continues to have issues (when she has a known, accidental ingestion unfortunately it takes a lot more MiraLax and additional laxatives to help her).  I was searching for something else and found this and am wondering if anyone has any specific comments regarding Primal Kitchen.  I feel like we are so incredibly careful with diet, logging diet and symptoms to look for patterns (we've had multiple dieticians help with this piece as well), not eating out, contacting companies and of course, there is always room for improvement but I'm running out of ideas regarding where her issues could be coming from.  Even if the Primal Kitchen is contributing, I'm sure it's not the only thing contributing but I can't help but think there must be handful of things that are working together and against her.  The ingredients list distilled white vinegar, but also white wine vinegar and balsamic, then "spices" which I'm always cautious about.  However, after contacting the company, I felt more comfortable allowing her to consume their products but over time I've realized that the front-line customer service support people don't always provide the most accurate of information.  Thanks for reading to anyone that does.
