    Between school lunches and baseball double-headers, my son eats a lot of ZonePerfect bars. They have a lot of protein, so they are filling. Sometimes I eat them for a "lunch" when that's all I have time for.

    That's great!

    One of our staples is Taquitos. Be sure to get the ones made with corn tortillas, as some are made with (wheat) flour tortillas. There are also several varieties of ZonePerfect bars which are gluten-free. My son packs these for lunch most days.

    In our case, it took about 6 months gluten-free to get the bloodwork negative. After my son's bloodwork had been negative for a year (so 18 months gluten-free), his growth rate had only improved from about 1 inch per year to 2 inches per year. But he was already so far behind, he would be lucky to reach 5' at that rate. I'm 5'7 and his dad is 5'10, by...

    We found a great endocrinologist. She did a battery of tests to make sure he was a good candidate. He also tested negative for growth hormone deficiency. Basically he was a candidate because he was so small. The endo helped a ton with the insurance. (This stuff is ungodly expensive). But after a year, our insurance stopped covering it. (I think it...

    My son was diagnosed with Celiac at age 10 and was always the smallest in his class by far (below 1% on the charts). After going gluten-free and getting his bloodwork negative, he started growing more, but no huge spurt and nowhere near catching up to his peers. At that point we investigated growth hormones, and he was a good candidate. He has been...

    We have one in our town, and the reply above is the same one I got, twice (tried a second time after over a year) so I put them on my personal "don't bother" list. If this is changing, it would be great!

    I use Bette Hagman's Featherlight flour for most things - cookies, cakes, bread, brownies 1 cup white rice flour 1 cup tapioca flour 1 cup corn starch 1 tbsp potato flour (not potato starch) I sometimes leave out the potato flour if I don't have it on hand. You need to add Xanthan gum to this, but depends on what you are making - about 1/2 tsp per...

    A staple at our house is Taquitos. I just buy a big bag of them (frozen) and just heat up and serve with salsa and cheese. Just make sure you buy the ones made with corn tortillas and not flour tortillas. We also do quesadillas (corn tortillas), with or without a little diced meat added to the cheese.

    I am a big fan of Bette Hagman. Here are my staples: Pizza Bette Hagman's recipe 1 1/2 cups pizza flour mix 3 tbsp almond meal or milk powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 packet yeast 3/4 cup warm water 2 egg whites 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar mix well on high 3 1/2 minutes very sticky - spread thin with very wet hands smooth onto...

    The .01% is a maximum potential gluten content. It is likely well below that. Also, they recently made them a little smaller than before. It's smaller in diameter than a normal host, and seems to be quite a bit lighter in weight. My son has received these as much as 3 times per week and continues to have negative bloodwork and no signs of reaction...

    I have several Corning and also Pyrex small dishes that I use for buns. I'm sure I got them at Wal-Mart. Whenever I make a loaf of bread, I shape one or two buns and freeze the uncooked dough in my bowls. Then I can bake an individual bun in the toaster oven when I need just one - that way it is fresh.

    ARCHIVED Taco Bueno

    bbuster replied to HollyH's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    The one by us went out of business!

    Yes, two brands that I know are gluten free are El Monterey and Delimex. Just check closely, as they can be made with (wheat) flour tortillas or corn tortillas.

    One staple at our house is frozen Taquitos - several kinds are gluten free. All you have to do is heat them. Tacos are easy too - you can make up extra taco meat and freeze it. Just read the label carefully for the taco seasoning - some have gluten. We use McCormicks.

    I mostly use The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread by Bette Hagman. I second the suggestion about checking out library books to see what you like. After several rounds, I bought this one, and use it routinely. Has a lot of good background info at the beginning besides just the recipes.

    Short stature is what prompted me to get my son tested for Celiac (after many other investigations proved negative). He had no GI symptoms or outward reactions to gluten. He did have a distended belly. He was indeed confirmed to have Celiac (blood test followed by endoscopy). Good luck to you.

    Website shows one Indianapolis location.

    I don't know - you could always ask.

    I heard about this and went to their website (godfathers.com) to see if it was true. Here is the e-mail reply I received. ------------------------------------------------ Dear Customers, Thank you all for your inquiries. We are equally excited about the gluten free pizza at our Corporate location, 108th and Maple St., here in Omaha, Nebraska. Currently...

    ARCHIVED Waldo's Pizza

    bbuster replied to jennyj's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    My son is the only Celiac in the family. We go to Waldo's every time we are in the KC area, usually every 2-3 months. The pizza is really good. Last time we were there, my son also got a gluten-free brownie. After eating something like 3/4 of a 12 inch pizza by himself , we got the brownie to go. It was pretty small and probably equivalent to what...

    That's what I do all the time.

    I have not personally tried this but it sounds good and is on my list of things to try: Substitute for a graham cracker crust: 2 1/2 c. of Rice Chex crumbs 1 Tbs. of honey 1 stick of melted butter grind Chex in blender or food processer add honey and butter mix together; pat into pie plate; bake on 350 for 15 min

    It does some, I just concentrate the batter in the middle (don't fill all the way to the edges) to compensate. It takes a little playing around to get it the right thickness.

    Here's a recipe I have made a few times. It makes a lot - I usually reduce it. Ice Cream Cones . 3 eggs 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup melted butter 2 T. vanilla
