My daughter's teacher has informed me that coming up within a month or so, they will be making pasta Indian necklaces at school (before thanksgiving). She wanted me to know ahead of time so I could find a gluten-free alternative for my daughter (she's great, thankfully). The pasta she uses is rigatoni, which I found online, but also wagon wheels.......has anyone ever seen gluten-free wagon wheels???

Tinkyada didn't have wagon wheels, but they did have some spirals that looked fun.

Heres a link to the shapes they offer:

Since there aren't a whole lot of (gluten free) shapes that are able to be threaded onto a necklace, maybe check out the craft section of Wal-Mart or go to Michaels for some wood beads so that she has a little variety to add to her penne pasta necklace. You could also dye some of your pasta different colors ( Open Original Shared Link )

. . . and sorry, I haven't seen gluten free wagon wheels.

If I couldn't find the pastas I'd send plastic beads from the hobby store. And really the school should be supplying the gluten free pasta or substitute. They just do not want to spend the extra money. And I don't think it should be coming out of the teachers pocket either (have friends who teach and I'm appalled at what they pay out of their pocket for their student's supplies)

My dd has a brain injury. In one class I took, given by a lawyer, he warned us not to allow a school to "pass" a brain injured child along. Schools will tell the parents that they will "let" the child graduate with their class. It sounds so nice but really once the child is out of school they are no longer required to provide extra training/tools that might really be needed because of the brain injury. So the child is pushed out of the system. He also said the educational system is suppose to provide for their needs even if it's at an extra cost.

Not that I'd mind buying the pasta for the craft but they do need to provide a safe environment for your child.

We have a 504 plan that states that wheat based products must stay out of the classroom, except for at snack time under controlled circumstances. (the kids bring their own snacks) Even the art teacher must keep all supplies gluten free.

The risk for cross contamination to your daughter would be huge! All she has to do is wipe her mouth with the back of her hand on necklace day and you could have a very sick child.

I'd request that the teacher find a more appropriate non poisonous alternative to pasta for the necklaces.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
