Ok, I got the link to work once by removing the space between 'gluten' and 'free'.

I have had trouble several times getting their links to work on here. Cruelshoes knows how to do it. Something about a tiny url.

I made another candy cane recipe -- it really came out great. Here's what I did:

10 ounces chocolate chips

1/4 tsp. canola oil

8 regular-size Spangler CHERRY FLAVOR Candy Canes (14 gr each, they came in a 9-ounce box that holds 18 candy canes) - or use flavor of your choice

Pam

Melt 10 oz. bag choc. chips in double boiler. Add 1/4 tsp. canola oil for ease of use.

Note: I used Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate chips, which are free of gluten, soy, nuts, and dairy. They are made in a dedicated nut and gluten-free facility. (For those super sensitive to dairy and soy, the plant does process dairy and soy, although neither are in the chocolate.) If you've never had them, these chocolate chips are amazingly delicious. Everyone will think you're using the finest gourmet chocolate.

On the back of the bag of Enjoy Life Choc. Chips is a recipe for Chocolate Bark that calls for nut-free trail mix. I used the recipe as inspiration then used candy canes instead of trail mix to make a Chocolate-Cherry Crunch Bark.

I peeled the wrapping from 8 Spangler Cherry Flavor Candy Canes, put them in a zip lock bag and used a rolling pin to crush them into small pieces - it looked so pretty, like pieces of glass. I added the candy pieces to the chocolate. You could of course use more or less candy cane, to taste.

I lightly greased a glass dish with Pam and poured the chocolate mixture in and spread it to the thickness of chocolate bark -- maybe a bit thinner. (Next time I might try using wax paper instead).

Stick it in the fridge until cool, break into pieces and enjoy. OH SO EASY! The crunchy cherry "bite" with the chocolate was soooooo good! Of course, peppermint would be wonderful, too. Note: The recipe on the bag says to melt the chocolate in a microwave. I think a double boiler works better, but do whatever is easiest! :)

If anyone tries this, let me know. I hope you enjoy it.

      Curious if I should quit my job

      Curious if I should quit my job

      By ohmichael · Posted

      Thank you both for your input! trents: yes I completely agree, it's simple anatomy. The walk-in doctor I saw even said to me, "you cannot get exposure or get sick if it only got in your respiratory system" to which I replied, "If I inhaled it, it's in the mucous I swallow that leads to my gut." I was honestly baffled I had to explain that to her. Thanks for your comments! Scott Adams: Thanks for your advice, yes I agree I think that's ultimately what I have to do especially while times are getting tougher in this current economy! Hopefully I find something new and equitable or better, in a quick manner! Please send prayers and best wishes for me to find a new job quickly, I wore the N95 masks today and it seems like I'm gonna be okay but I literally have to hazmat wash my clothes and myself when I get home. I think my current exposure will have time to recover while I'm wearing the masks at work. Thank you all again!

      Advice please

      Parent-to-parent, I hear your exhaustion and worry loud and clear – what you’re describing goes far beyond typical toddler troubles. Your daughter’s screaming night pain, terrible bloating, stalled growth, and constant infections are textbook red flags for celiac disease or another serious gluten-related condition. While her blood test came back negative, there are critical reasons not to rule it out yet. First, celiac tests are notoriously unreliable in kids under 3 – their tiny immune systems often don’t produce enough antibodies to register on standard blood work, especially if she wasn’t eating consistent gluten beforehand (which you mentioned was a struggle). Her iron deficiency alone is a glaring clue, as it’s one of the most common signs of undiagnosed celiac in little ones. The fact that she’s already dairy/soy-free yet still suffering suggests something bigger is at play. It could still be celiac (a pediatric GI should consider an endoscopy with biopsies, the gold standard for diagnosis), or possibly non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) – which doesn’t show up on tests but can cause identical agony. Her recurring mouth ulcers and infections also hint at the immune dysfunction seen in celiac. Until you see the specialist, I’d quietly start a gluten-free trial (after documenting her current symptoms carefully with photos/videos of the bloating and pain episodes). If you see improvement in 3-4 weeks, that’s powerful evidence to bring to the doctors. You’re not being dramatic – you’re being the exact advocate your daughter needs. If the pediatrician brushes you off, look them in the eye and say: “What else could explain ALL these symptoms together? If it’s not celiac, what’s our next step to stop her suffering?” Keep pushing – moms’ instincts are rarely wrong about this stuff. For now, focus on small wins: snap daily pics of her belly to show the distension, ask for a fecal calprotectin test (checks gut inflammation), and know this internet stranger is rooting for you both. She’s lucky to have you fighting for her.

      Can you post what blood tests were done specifically for celiac disease, the results and reference ranges if available? If her gluten intake was reduced prior to the blood draw it certainly could result in false negatives on some tests. There is also the possibility that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).
