Plaster Of Paris Hand Mold Project

My dd's preschool teacher asked if it would be OK to let her make a hand mold using Plaster of Paris (they're making them for Mother's Day). She showed me the container and I read the ingredients which seemed OK. But I remember hearing that drywall was an issue, that the dust and plaster contained gluten so I wasn't sure if we should let her do it. I could not find anything specifically about "plaster of paris" though. She has never had any of the skin issues when exposed to gluten, so I wasn't sure if maybe it would be OK as long as she washed her hands really well after......what do you guys think?

I let my kids participate in projects. They don't have topical reactions. Stressed the importance of hand washing.

In pre-school I volunteered when I was able and concerned about craft ingredients. Sounds like the teacher is caring and concerned and opened up communication for your dd. :D

Totally different things, plaster of paris and drywall. I'd let my kid do it.

If you still a little nervous you could try putting her hand in a very thin plastic bag first. I think if she or the teacher hold it so that it is tight against her hand, not wrapped but just holding it from above, she could still get a good print.

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.
