Hi,

My 10 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac. She is an AVID user of play doh. I see that there are several gluten free options out there. I am delighted since I do not have time right now to try and concoct any. I am wondering about your experiences with them. Do your kids have a favorite brand? I was intrigued by the naturally scented ones also. Does any one know if they are they strongly scented?

I would appreciate your opinions/thoughts!

I've only tried the Soyer doh. It was really sticky. If it sat in the containers any length of time it started to crystalize. I ended up throwing it all away. My youngest son is bugging me for some more. If I ever get around to it I'm going to try the recipe from the Argo cornstarch site.

I decorate cakes (gluten free of course). I always have a bunch of fondant and gumpaste on hand. When my kids want to play with playdoh I give them a little hunk of fondant to play and mold with. It works for us because I always have a bunch on hand, but it would probably be more expensive than other options out there for most people.

Fondant seems like a cool idea.

We use the gluten free dough from Discount School Supply, and it was well liked at the school when I sent it in for my girls' classes. We have all gluten free dough tools as well. I did look at a few gluten free doughs in the beginning, mainly because I wanted to figure out if any of them would test negative for gluten with a home test for gluten. None tested negative and at some point I realized that I tested them further just to confirm that there was not a high positive for the doughs we wanted to use. So, we do have rigid cleanup protocols in place for when we bring out "gluten free" dough, as we are of the more sensitive variety here. We have also used clay.

I appreciate the suggestions. I had not thought about the "gluten free" dough still testing positive for gluten. Gosh, we have just started down this road and I see that I will have a lot more to think about than I initially thought!

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
