    There is actually a "Gluten free living for dummies" and I really thought the book was helpful! It was a quick and easy read!

    My daughter has been gluten free for nearly 4 months now and there are days where her bm's are lighter in color and much softer. I used to think its because she was 'glutened" but this happens at least 2-3 times a month. I have watched for a pattern and can tall you that when it happens there have been 0 chances of her being glutened. Her GI told me that...

    Wow! I was a teacher before (and I live in Texas too) I had my daughter and I can tell you she just wasn't thinking. I would contact her and ask her if she would reconsider her choices of snacks. Point out that if you daughter feels left out that she will most likely not do her best on the TAKS test! Let see some snacks that I can think of that everyone...

    My daughter was 18 months old when she was diagnosed with Celiac disease and our entire family went gluten free (mostly My husband and I don't worry about being gluten free when we go out but its only 1 time a month so we are really mostly gluten free) I was overwhelmed with information and scared out of my mind that my daughter wast not going to be able...

    I felt the same why when I found out my daughter had celiac disease.... I told my mom I had been poisoning her because thats how I felt! we are 4 months into it and I'm finding it super easy! I have a pantry list on my blog website if you think that will help get you going! Check it out!

    Check out my blog (link at the bottom of this msg) I have a pantry list and once I got stocked up my grocery bills have not been that bad at all! 2 adults and a toddler and dog eating gluten free for about $100 a week

    I am a BIG huge fan and supporter of nursing! (I nursed my daughter for over a year when she cold turkey self-weaned!) Anyhow I can tell you at some point you will need to start to introduce solids because your baby will need more than you have to offer. That being said the age varies with each child! I'm not a Dr. or a nutritionist but I think putting...

    As a former teacher (now a SAHM) I'd recommend looking into a 504 plan for you daughter. This way you can tell the school how they should properly deal with things in guidelines that you feel are appropriate You can include things like giving the school nurse permission to administer "the pinks stuff" etc. Also you may want to talk with your...

    The best guide I have found for understanding Celiac in General is Gluten Free Living for Dummies but you already have that After that this website (celiac.com) and the websites listed in the book have been the most helpful

    I feel your pain and like others have said... I bet EVERYONE here has a similar story. You can also take this "accident" and turn it into a learning lesson for your child (If she's old enough to under stand" talk to her about how you and she always need to double check what is in the foods so she wont get sick! Sometimes our mistakes can be the...

    Wow sounds like a Dr. with the WRONG information... I'd try and new Dr. or have him call my grandfather who started showing symptoms of Celiac at 86 years old!!! I really wish I could be of more help!

    I posted this on the product msg board as well... but a recipe would work just as good! My grandpa was just diagnosed with Celiac (a few months ago) I have been able to help him on a lot of stuff but bread is what is kiling him. Unlike the rest of us we doesnt care what his bread tastes like (because he's old and his taster doesnt work so well... his...

Unlike the rest of us we doesnt care what his bread tastes like (because he's old and his taster doesnt work so well... his words not mine) anyhow he is looking for a bread that has the same texture as before. ...

    Oh I wanted to add this to the list too... not really cookies but they are good treats! Chocolate pretzels! All you need is 1. gluten-free pretzels 2. Hearshey Kisses Directions: lay 1/2 pretzels on a cookie sheet Top those pretzels with a hearshey kiss place in a 350 oven for a few minutes (just till the kisses get soft) take the other 1...

    I just made these and they were AWESOME my husband actually freaked out when I handed one to my daughter because he thought they were regular 'glunteny' cookies! Open Original Shared Link (its a pizza crust recipe but I made cut out sugar cookies with it!) 1

    We just got her bloodwork back after being gluten-free for 3 months Good news! 1. She's gained weight (94% percentile where she was before she got sick) 2. She's grown (85% back to where she was) 3. Her ttg has dropped from a 73 to a 2! And they are waiting 14 months to do her next round of bloodwork (because I asked that all her annual stuff...

    We do a crow roast of pork with wild rice stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravey, gluten free Lefse, and grean beans. Then just a lot of cookies (gluten-free ones) for the rest of the night.

    MY daughter had a sever bought with a blistery diaper rash that just wouldn't go away about 3 months before she was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. (It did go away before the diagnosis but she had more sever symptoms by then) Looking back both my pediatrician and I believe that was the first sign of Celiac Disease, we just didn't know because she is...

    Hey I just sent you with a msg that lists everything I keep in my panrty and a typical day of meals for my daughter (she is 21 months old) My grocery bills were high at first while I was getting stocked up, and trying new things... now its about where it was before we went gluten free! (My entire family is gluten-free except DH he iis gluten light he...

    Small amounts do the same amount of damage as large amounts. Kids however recover very quickly when they go gluten free (my daughter was completely symptom free after 3 days on the diet). Before her biopsy we were told to go gluten light... I fed her 1 saltine cracker a day for 2 weeks and everything else was gluten free. She still had symptoms (lethargy...

    You may have to do some sole searching on this.... my husband resisted a gluten free diet with out having the Biopsy performed on my DD. Even though her ttg was at a 73 (CLEARLY Celiac) So we had it done to please him after all she is his kid too. And I religiously fed her 1 saltine cracker a day for 2 weeks knowing I was doomed for vomits ville....

    If you want a firm diagnosis where the Dr. says "Your son has ______" sadly most Pediatric GI's are going to require a biopsy. My husband wanted a firm diagnosis so our 18 month old had a biopsy. After her confirmed diagnosis my grandfather and my husbands grandmother were both diagnosed with Celiac (they got tested because they decided that might...

    ACK!!!! You'll have to show me where I said it had grain alcohol in it! I have never found a vanilla extract with gluten in it.... I must have typo'ed something to you!
  25. Kibbie
    This will be my first time hosting since DD's diagnosis and going gluten free. Usually I do a quick bread, something savory (for the moms) and fingers snacks. Any ideas?? Thanks!
