  1. My younger daughter also has severe seasonal and cat allergies. When we bought our van we did not know they owned a cat. A good steam vac and allergen reducing cleaner did the job. Her eyes no longer swell when she gets in. Hope this info helps! Amy
  2. Thanks again to everyone, for all your advice. It is much appreciated!
  3. Thanks for the extra advice. To address the addtional allergy topic, she is allergic to eggs(just found out about 3 weeks ago) and has been lactose intolerant since day one. I never thought about dairy in general because when she has done better she was still drinking her lactose free milk. Not sure if we should think about dairy at this point.
  4. Don't be sorry. Thanks for the suggestion! It's just noce to know we're not the only ones going through it and to see what others are doing. Thank you so much!
  5. Her last incident with gluten was about a week ago. Her mood usually take 3 weeks to change after gluten. She just seems to not sleep through the night anymore. Our home is completely gluten free. If she can't have it it's not here. She does seem to be afraid of something, but do to her age she is not able to tell us. She is fine if my husband is in...
  6. Hi, my daughter who is almost 3 is having terrible trouble sleeping at night. Luckily my husband can function on less sleep than I can, so he is the one who gets up with her. I feel terrible for both of them! Long story short, she started having all these symptoms at age two, not sleeping well, diet change, ect. Recently diagnosted with Celiac she emdiatley...

  9. Unfortunatley I am very new gluten free cooking and I have never made a roux before. I also do not have my flours labled very well. I accidently used tapioca starch. I'm not fond of the taste of potato flour, but I never thought about corn. Where can I get that Tom Sawyer flour? Or do you know of any flour combos I could use. Thank you so much for...
  10. I just had a cutastrufy in my kitchen. My roux carmalized on me and stuck to eveything. Does anyone know what kind of flour I should use to make a roux? Any help is appreciated!
  11. Hi, I can agree with how hard it is and expensive for the whole house to go gluten free. My daughter will be 3 next month and our other daughter is 16 months old. I am 23 and my husband is 25. We don't have a lot of money and our grocery bill has increased. My husband donates plasma to pay for our groceries. We decided to go gluten free not only to...
  12. Hi, I'm not much help on the feeding issue. All I can say on that is that my daughter who is 16 months old now has had reflux since day one. It is a big challenge! We tried a lot of formulas that didn't work. We never tried the Nutramagine but we did try Allimentum. (not sure on the spelling) The other thing our doctor did (which you might want to talk...
  13. Hi, My toddler who was recently diagnost was doing great on her gluten free diet. A couple of weeks later I noticed every couple of days she would have tummy troubles again. I figured out that whenever she has scrambled eggs, within 1-2 hours she is sick. She is also lactose intolleract since birth. I'm just wondering if food allergies are common. ...
  14. Trying to clean up and I just wondered if anyone knew what ingredients to look for in cleaners, shampoos, conditioner, soaps, ect.... Any adivice would be a blessing! Thanks!
  15. Hi, My daughter was potty trained in June and diagnost with Celiac about 3 weeks ago. I started the diet about 3 weeks before I got the tests back and she had been doing woderful since then. For the last 2 weeks she has had no accidents and then her church sunday school was not paying attention and gave her ghram crackers! Well, her tummy isn't sick anymore...
  16. Hi, I am new to gluten free cookin. Within the last few weeks. I found a recipe for Italian Bread but it calls for fast rise yeast and lukewarm water. It says to let the yeast and sugar desolve in the water. Am I able to replace the yeast with regular yeast and use water 110*? Also do I need to let it desolve or can I add the yeast and sugar to the...
  17. Hi, My daughter will soon be three and was recently diagnosted. We also have a 14 month old daughter. I guess I'm wondering what other families do about food. For now I have decided to do all gluten free as to not contaminate my kitchen. I make bread, muffins, cookies, ect... We are all eating the bread. I am very new at this and wonder what other...
