Playing With Playdough

Is it OK for my daughter to play with playdough if she washes her hands after?

Would using gloves be a good idea?

Should I be supplying my daughter with gluten-free playdough? Or the whole class?

I don't let my kids have it in the house at all. My youngest son and the school have been informed that he is not to play with it also. Before he went gluten free I threw away all of his playdoh and replaced it with soyer doh. It was good for a little while but if it gets to warm it gets sticky. It also crystalized in the containers. I am just going to make some from the argo website. Even if your daughter does not put her hands in her mouth and washes them after, IMHO there is too much room for CC to take place from playing with it and having in the house and I would think school would be worse because of the other kids. Luckily my son is in kindergarden and they very rarely play with it. In daycare though he did but that was before he went gluten free.

I was not comfortable with having regular playdough in my son's classroom. Just too many opportunities to have it spread EVERYWHERE! Kids aren't that great at washing their hands, And, my son often puts his hands in his mouth, chews his nails, etc. I volunteered to provide gluten free playdough for the classroom for the year. I am enjoying making the contribution and it isnt' that much work!

Do you have a recipe you could share? I heard from a few other people that the gluten-free playdough they made fell apart and didn't last.

Hi! I had posted this on another thread, so I just copied it and will paste below........

Mix dry ingredients:

1/2 cup rice flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1/2 cup salt

2 tsp cream of tarter

Add 1 cup of water, and 1 T oil, food colouring if desired. Mix well.

Heat a pot with 1 T oil over medium heat (don't get it too hot). Give the wet ingredients a stir and pour into the pot. Stir with a spatula, carefully scraping the bottom of the pot. Should gradually get thicker. After about 3 minutes you should have a lovely bowl of playdough!

_______________________________________________________________________________________

I have never made 'cooked' playdough before, so this was new to me. A few things that I find make it a better playdough- allow the wet ingredients to sit for a minute or two before cooking. Stir just before adding to the pan. If the pan is too hot, it gets really rubbery.

I do find this playdough dries out faster than others. I have added more oil if it is sticky- not sure why sometimes it needs more than others.

Good Luck and let me know if this turns out for you or not.

just another FYI- I am providing the kindergarten class with 3-4 batches every 6 weeks or so. Just recently tried to double the recipe and it worked well, so it is even faster now!

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
