I don't use a toaster at all. I've been gluten-free for 3 years now. I have a ritual I do with the microwaving, where I defrost a slice or two of gluten-free bread and then cook for 15-20 seconds. I also fry the frozen bread in a pan with butter or spray butter, on recommendation of someone in my support group and it is DY-NA-MITE!

My favorite gluten-free products are Glutino pretzels, Kinnickinnick breads, Mrs. Leepers and Tinkyada brown rice pastas, Gluten Free Pantry Croutons, The Cravings Place pancakes (add an egg), and crackers and anything by Schar, Pamela's walnut choc. chip cookies, Rice Chex cereal, and simple chips that are made from corn (or potatoes) salt, and oil.

An adventurous spirit (for learning to cook gluten free)

A thick hide (to handle all the questions and comments about living gluten free)

A joyful outlook (to carry you through the bad moments--and there will be some)

A palate willing to try new flavors

Good eyesight and a chemistry degree (for reading all the minute printing on the food labels) :lol:

This gave me a good laugh! It is so true. I would add to that....a good glass of wine. My husband always poured me a glass when I said I was going to try a new bread or pizza dough, lol.

Julia Child! Love her.

We use plastic cutting boards, and I've put them through the dishwasher - is it necessary to get new ones, or do I only need to if they're wood?

      Rosacea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You may want to go to a dermatologist to see if it might instead be dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin version of celiac disease. Here are some articles on Rosacea and CD:

      Iron supplements - Bowel upsets

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning dosage, I found this: https://patient-info.co.uk/sodium-feredetate-190-mg-5ml-oral-solution-88092/summary-of-medicine-characteristics Age 6 – 24 months: 12.5 mg Age 2 – 5 years: 20–30 mg Age 6 – 11 years: 30 – 60 mg   But these dosages are in mg, not ml.

      Iron supplements - Bowel upsets

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. I’ve also just looked on the NICE website and it recommends a much lower dose for her age. She’s currently take 7.5 ml in total a day and the recommendation is 4ml and if not tolerated she should try alternate days. It may explain why she’s has such a loose bowel. I’m not concerned about the black poo, but more the frequency and consistency. It’s not fair on her. She has been saying she feels a little sick today so that may be a side effect… I never know with her as she had such bad tummy pains and issues before she was diagnosed. Her levels were at the highest possible and she was vomiting regularly so she often talks about sick.

      Iron supplements - Bowel upsets

      By trents · Posted

      It is "chelated" to improve absorption but not buffered from what I can tell. What she is taking is an appropriate pediatric iron supplement product. By the way, it is normal for iron supplementation to turn poo black. That is not a worry per se. But iron supplementation can cause an upset tummy. Iron can irritate the mucosal lining of the tummy and the gut. Is she complaining of pain or discomfort? The irritation is probably causing her to frequent toileting. Check with your physician about a buffered iron product for children. "Slow iron" products (you can get them over the counter) are buffered and help reduce irritation. Not sure if they are appropriate in dosage, however, for children and if you cut them you destroy the buffered coating. But I certainly would get her B12 levels checked if you haven't.
