Hi, My daughter is having her tonsils and adenoids out on Wednesday and her celiac diagnosis is new to us. Can anyone tell me what popsicles, puddings, ice creams, juice bars are safe for her? Also, how worried should I be about the popsicles and juice that they offer her at the hospital containing gluten. I told them that she has celiac, but I'm having a hard time trusting ANYONE to give her food or drinks.

Thank you!

As for pudding cups-Kraft will put all gluten on the label so if you don't see the words "wheat" or barley" anywhere on a Kraft label, it is safe. Most flavors of pudding should be fine. You can take juice and freeze in popsicle molds from the dollar store and make your own popsicles. Same with gelatin-use the unflavored Knox gelatin and juice. However most, if not all gelatins should be safe. Same with many popsicles-most are just sugar, water and coloring, or juice and sugar. Many icecreams are gluten-free, the waters get muddier with the more complex flavors-and the obvious cookies and cream etc.

Hi there,

Jello pudding is gluten free, I believe the Kraft is also; when I was looking at pudding cups for my daughter whose camp was serving it as a snack, I was surprised that most all of them, even the store's generic brand, did not have any gluten in them.

I've also yet to find a popsicle with any wheat flour or malt or any other gluten containing additive, so you should be ok there. I believe we usually buy the Popsicle brand. Those freeze pops that come as liquid in the store and then you freeze them at home are usually ok too. I think you'll find at the stores that in the pudding and popsicle dept, you'll have a lot of options. Good luck with her surgery!!

When my son had wisdom teeth out, he was hungry but couldn't chew. We made milkshakes in the blender with vanilla or chocolate ice cream, milk & peanut butter. Smoothies might work to - 2 cups frozen fruit, half banana & 6 oz of oj or container of yogurt.

Freeeze juice or pop in ice cube trays. Pulverize in blender with a little extra juice or pop. Lemon or lime ade with Sprite for the juice. Also, lemon & lime jello made with Sprite for the cold liquid is fun & tasty.

Thank you so much to everyone that has replied! Does anyone know if Hunt's snack pack pudding's are safe as well? Also, do I need to worry about natural and/or artificial flavorings or any of the coloring additives?

Thanks again!

Although pricy, we love the So Delicious and Rice Dream frozen treats, most of which are gluten-free. The gluten-free products say gluten-free right on the lid so it is easy to tell which ones are gluten-free. Also, Trader Joe's sorbets are gluten-free.

One more thing, the So Delicious Popsicles are sweetened with agave so they are also less glycemic and do not cause the crash that sugary Popsicles cause...if this is a concern for you.

I would emphasize the popsicles (or anything frozen) at first (over pudding). When my daughter had her tubes and adenoids done, they really wanted her to suck on a popsicle because the iciness would help reduce the swelling in her throat. Due to her sensory issues, popsicles were not going to happen, so we switched to ice water. Hope you find some yummy ones!

      Ibuprofen

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
