    I don't see why you couldn't use almonds. It will give it a different taste, but I think it would still work okay for the crust. To answer your second question, I chop first then measure 1/2 cup.

    I can't help with a recipe, but I do know they are out there! I am not Catholic, but we do celebrate Communion on special occasions. Good Friday being one of them, I spoke to my church about it and they immediately brought gluten free communion wafers out to me. I attend a very large church so the situation has obviously come up before. I hope you find...

    Yes, also gluten free by General Mills is Trix, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Little Einsteins. We like the Dora stars around here as a great toddler snack.

    Have you had any trouble with CC on your stones? I tried to email the Pampered Chef, but customer service referred my question to the test kitchen 5 months ago. I never heard another word so I don't know if that means no, we don't know or we're still testing. I haven't had issues myself, but I don't feed the baby anything out of the stones as she is...

    A friend of mine once told me that she uses Pamela's cup for cup in any sweet goods. I thought I would try it in this one since it has been a family favorite for years. Worked like a dream so I can't wait to try other old favorites with this simple replacement.

    My aunt used to bring this dessert to every family dinner. I made it for Easter, substituting Pamela's gluten free baking mix for the flour in the original recipe. It turned out great-everyone ate it and didn't notice a difference. I thought it was slightly sweeter, but absolutely fantastic! Lush (I have no idea where the name came from, but I have...

    One thing I had to make sure the school knew was to call me right away if DD forgot her lunch (it happens!), though you won't have to worry about that until next year I guess. She would forget her lunch and eat anyway. I had to reiterate that I was too be called as soon as the missing lunch was discovered so I could bring something safe for her to eat.

    My DDs spent the week at my mom's last week. We arrived Friday to join them for Easter and came home last night. Last night both girls complained of a stomach ache and had trouble on the potty. Tonight DD9 has a headache and feels awful. I thought I was careful about their diets yesterday so how far back do I need to be looking? I don't know how they...

    This is one of the things we noticed with DD. I always though "that's just how she is" until things improved dramatically. I can give a good example with her school's math challenge. They are given 100 addition problems to complete in 3 minutes. She would only get halfway done even though she knew the math. The first week gluten free she go about 3/...

    My kids symptoms are all over the map with gluten. They can get a stomachache (older 2-no idea on the baby), headache (DD9), flushed cheeks (all 3), insane hunger (DD4), very tired (DD1) and become generally cranky, mean, angry kids.

    Texas Roadhouse also has a gluten free menu upon request. We have had great success there. For fast food, our favorite is Wendy's. They have a large gluten free menu on their website and it hasn't disappointed us yet!

    I thought I was done every single time! I joke now that the baby is so hard no way would I want to try it again. OTOH, if I can handle her I can handle anything! I'm done mostly because our house is full. One more and someone would have to share a bedroom. Dh wants more though and I can't seem to talk him down. To answer another question, there is...

    ARCHIVED Hardee's

    FeedIndy replied to FeedIndy's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Oh, I know fast food restaurants are a cross contamination nightmare, but when traveling it just can't be helped much. We love Wendy's, but I was looking for something different now and then. Wendy's was a favorite even before gluten free and it jumped quickly to the top of the list. I was afraid Hardee's wouldn't have anything. Dh likes it, but I guess...

    ARCHIVED Hardee's

    FeedIndy posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I cannot find gluten information anywhere on the Hardee's website anymore. I found the nutrition section, but it didn't say anything about allergens. Does anyone know if Hardee's burgers (no bun, obviously) or fries would be safe? Also, the chili cheese fries look great, but I have been afraid to try them without a gluten free menu.

    At diagnosis, DD was also intolerant to dairy, soy and all meats. This makes getting protein and iron somewhat difficult. She can now handle everything except beef. Dh wondered allowed if this didn't have something to do with the "grain fed" part. Is there anyway for gluten to get into the beef this way or is it still a separate intolerance altogether...

    It can take quite some time to feel the benefits of a gluten free diet. Most of us have spent years damaging our bodies so it won't suddenly go away after a few weeks. I noticed some improvement after a week or two, more improvement after a month and then things got a bit worse-cut out dairy and was feeling great after another week. For my youngest, the...

    I'm definitely no expert on DH, but it looks a lot like the rash my DD got when she snuck a box of Girl Scout cookies. (Ugh!) I cropped up on her arm in just one place, lasted a couple weeks and then disappeared altogether until a month later when she cheated again. (The entire house is now gluten free except a few things in a garage freezer for dh to...

    My 17 month old was diagnosed about 7 months ago. She doesn't eat many prepared gluten free products at all. She mostly eats fresh fruit and vegetables. She likes chicken and turkey too so I will grill breasts or make extras at dinner. Gerber has a select few of their Graduates meals that are gluten free if you need something fast to keep on hand...

    I feel nauseous in the bread aisle too, but I don't think it actually causes a gluten reaction for me. I think it is a psychosomatic issue where my body knows there is gluten and what it will do to me if I eat it. I literally gag when I walk by the bakery. I don't have any other gluten reactions and it doesn't last longer than it takes to get away from...

    If she doesn't have a very big variety in her diet, is she taking a vitamin supplement? This was suggested to us a few years ago by our ped since DD at the time would only eat peanut butter sandwiches and apples. She's much better now plus gluten free, but every now and then I realize she is in a rut and pull out the vitamins.

    You may find that you can handle the fruits and vegetables again after the gluten damage heals. When my youngest was first diagnosed she couldn't handle dairy, soy, any meats and some fruits/vegetables. Now she is okay with everything except beef. She eats every fruit and vegetable imaginable, drinks milk, loves yogurt and can even handle chicken, turkey...

    We just dealt with this issue with my oldest. She was sick, but her symptoms were all over the board. She started with stomach ache, nausea and flushed cheeks. The next morning she had a fever and sore throat. The 3rd day the fever was gone. The 4th day it was back, but the stomach ache was gone. We called the doc on Monday (day 5). They said there...

    Today's lunch: 9-year-old: ham & cheese rollups (exactly how it sounds-she rolls a piece of cheese into ham and secures with a toothpick-for some reason her friends all think this is the coolest) Fritos Applesauce water 4-year-old: hot dog (no bun) red grapes cheese cubes milk 1-year-old (okay, not the healthiest-I didn't get hers packed...

    None of us have an official diagnosis through bloodwork and I refused biopsies, but it hasn't been an issue. It was at first, but the improvements were hard to deny. When their doc (and mine) said the gluten free diet was a good idea even without official test results, I simply told family and DD's school that they were recently diagnosed with celiac-end...

    I had trouble with this too, but threatening to come supervise lunch every day cleared it up. I also told her if she hadn't eaten her lunch, she couldn't have snack (I know, I'm so mean) but could finish her lunch. Things really got better after that. At first I thought she was just throwing it away at school so I wouldn't know, but she wasn't as hungry...
