    As I recently found out when my son did an elimination diet, dairy is hidden in many, many foods. The list of ingredients to watch for is long. Check out this page for a printable list to take with you to the grocery store: Open Original Shared Link Michelle

    Pure maple syrup (no preservatives) needs to be refrigerated, but I doubt it would go bad that quickly...I'm sure you'll be fine...I'd refrigerate it from now on. Refrigeration does not thicken it or slow it down (I refrigerate mine and have no problems with it.) It's much thinner than syrups like Aunt Jemima. Here's what one manufacturer (Maple Grove...

    I have no experience with using silicone baking tins, but have used the silicone cookie sheet liners and absolutely love them...won't make cookies without them! I've found a short review of using baking pans here: Open Original Shared Link Seems that you need to be wary of heavy batters in something like a loaf pan (bows the shape of the pan...

    It should work really well. It's almost the same as the Kraft Peanuter Butter Cookie recipe: 1 PREHEAT oven to 325°F. 2 MIX 1 cup Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter, 1/2 cup sugar and an egg with a large spoon in a medium bowl. 3 ROLL mixture into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Flatten with fork or squish with your fingers. 4 BAKE at ...

    It's nice to hear the Frostys are safe! I had assumed they had malt in them. Michelle

    I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. If anything, she's got age and strength behind her, so she may do really well. My FIL was diagnosed with two kinds of brain cancer last May and, unfortunately, is not doing as well as we'd hoped...one cancer (oligodenderoglioma) was stage 4, and the other (gioblastoma) stage 1, but very agressive. We have not given...

    Some ideas for finger food: puffed rice puffed millet mozzarella cheese sticks/cubes soft cooked carrots sticks raisins (although with adjusted age these may not be suitable) banana slices/cubes Healthy Times has wheat & soy free cookies and teething biscuits, but I don't know if they're actually gluten free. It's been awhile since...

    I know it's frustrating to get to that plateau. With each pregnancy I gained more weight...it seemed my body just wanted to get to a specific (high!) weight during pregnancy. I lost all my baby weight plus extra weight with my first by about 4 months. With my second it took a bit longer, but I was down to my lowest weight since high school. With my...

    You're only at the 3 months mark at this point. Regardless of celiac, your body will want extra calories for producing milk, and will demand more as your baby grows bigger. As others have said, this is not the time to be worrying about weight loss. Remember that it took 9 months to put weight on, and it will probably take that long, if not longer, to...

    Just an FYI for those who are considering using cloth diapers... It is best not to use bleach on diapers, because of the issue of skin sensitivity, and because it weakens the cloth and shortens the life of the diapers. You can simply put diapers in a dry pail (you can get a waterproof fabric liner for the pail) and wash frequently (ever other day) with borax...

    Foil can be good for some things. I wouldn't bake cookies on it though...it has a tendency to rip if you use a spatula on it. Michelle

    It could be a factor in cc. However, I doubt that hand cleaner would do the job...it kills germs, but doesn't actually wash anything off your hands. Michelle
  13. Michi8
    What about using a silicone sheet (like a Open Original Shared Link) instead? As long as it's only used for gluten-free cooking, it would make a good barrier on top of a cookie sheet, plus cookies won't stick to it. Michelle

    Welcome, Curious121! It certainly wouldn't hurt to get tested...definitely worth ruling everything out, right? In terms of lactose intolerance there are different levels of lactose in different dairy products. Yogurt and hard cheese have very low to no lactose. I believe butter is pretty low too. Some people with lactose intolerance can tolerate small...

    I'm afraid my list would just be too long! My favourite naturally gluten free meals are: anything with any kind of potatoes shepherd's pie beef stew chili (on rice) indian curry dishes w/papadums sauteed cauliflower, onions and carrots buckwheat with onion and bacon cabbage rolls chicken & corn hash (served w/poached eggs) homemade...

    Thanks, Karen! That's good to know. Michelle

    I wasn't asking about eating it everyday. I was enquiring about whether anyone knows if McDs Canadian fries are gluten free or not. It can be an okay treat once in a while. Thanks anyway. Michelle
  18. Michi8
    It appears that the ingredients in the McDs french fries differs in Canada from the US. Do the Canadian members here know if there is an issue with wheat in McDs fries in Canada? McDs Canada french fry ingredients: FRENCH FRIES: Potatoes, a blend of partially hydrogenated fat and oil (beef fat and cottonseed oil), may contain dextrose and sodium acid...

    This is what Pfizer says about their syrup...lots of artifcial stuff and questionable ingredients (just as with many medicinal products): ZYRTEC syrup is a colorless to slightly yellow syrup containing cetirizine hydrochloride at a concentration of 1 mg/mL (5 mg/5 mL) for oral administration. The pH is between 4 and 5. The inactive ingredients...
  20. Michi8
    Just to clarify: Zyrtec tablets do have lactose, but the children's syrup does not. Michelle

    A lot of people carry Epstein Barr virus and never develop mono at all. According to the CDC, up to 95% of US adults between 35 and 40 have been infected. Michelle

    It's a shame you dread cloth...there are lots of brands that work very well. The Mother-ease Open Original Shared Link ones are very absorbent (terry cloth is the best!) and don't leak, and the waterproof covers work very well. They also keep the skin much cooler than disposables. If you're wary about cleaning soiled diapers, you can use a disposable liner...

    Check out Canada's Best Slow Cooker Recipes by Donna-Marie Pye. The recipe on the cover, Zesty Orange Beef Stew, is excellent. I used potato flour instead of wheat flour when browning the meat and it turned out perfect. Lots of recipes without flour, or easy enough to substitute for ones with. Michelle

    Yes, he could be allergic to diapers. My eldest child wore cloth diapers (mother-ease terry cloth, one-size) and did really well with them. When ever he worn disposables (any brand), he'd get a horrible rash. Pampers were the worst for us...even I would get sick from the perfume! You can get cotton disposable diapers that may be better for him...they...

    Recovery time really depends on how severe the mono symptoms are, and how old you are when you have it. It went through our school last spring, and the really young kids who got it exhibited no more than cold symptoms. My 8 year old caught it and ended up with severe tonsilitis (had to go to emergency for treatment, because of worry about obstructed airway...
