Play Dough - gluten-free, Have You Bought It?

The first time, I thought it could not have been from the play dough. But the second time, months later, I know she was glutened from it. It must be from not washing her hands and putting her hands in her mouth right? I don't think she's sensitive to it through her skin, but I guess I don't know since she's not handling wheat or anything.

I saw the gluten free dough from discount school supply. Has anyone bought that? Is it worth the cost? Have you bought anything else you like or made any that you like?

Thanks!

Someone just published a gluten free play dough recipe on Recipezaar.com. I've never tried it myself but it's the same recipe I've seen before and others have said it works well.

Our pre-k teacher tried the gluten-free playdough and I also made my own for her on occasion. The homemade one was better...and definitely safer. I've also tried the Crayola modeling clay which is claimed gluten-free. Ours was not. I called Crayola and they told me that it is made on shared equipment so it may have cross-contamination issues despite their efforts to clean equipment.

I'd recommend making your own. If your child is really sensitive, it's the only way to be truly safe. And it really doesn't take that long to make.

Good Morning

I bought gluten-free Play Dough from this website and it is AWESOME!!

I am in Canada and had it shipped to a friend in the states and then had it shipped up here. It was worth it. My 3 1/2 year old lil girl loves it. It is just like regular play dough. She got it for Christmas and it never dries out, fun and SAFE!!

I make gluten-free playdough for my 5 year old son's class. It's very easy ... I double the batch and only make it every 2 months.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
