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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
