    Hi All, My daughter is a gymnast and needs to have her hair curled in a ponytail for her meet. I need to use some products to hold the curls as she has straight hair. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Just found these online. I have never tried them but they are small snack crackers like cheez its just not with the fun neon yellow food coloring! https://www.celiac.com/catalog/product_info...products_id=893

    My son LOVED goldfish before dx. He will tolerate the glutino ritz crackers that have the cheese flavor in them. They are not his favorite but he likes them well enough. I hope someone comes up with a goldfish type cracker soon!

    Hi, My ds also has "after" affects of the gluten. I don't know how much help I can be because she just cries and cries uncontrollably. She will be cranky and moody but not aggressive towards us or her brother. Just cranky, usually she just stomps off. We remind her gently that it is the gluten talking and to try to control her words a little better...

    Hi Everyone! Thanks to everyone for all of your replies. I ended up keeping Michael home on Thursday and we are going to bake gingerbread men together at home. He decided to do it when his sister and two friends are with us on Wednesday since he thought that would be more fun. He is such a thoughtful little boy even when he is being left out. When...

    Hi Everyone, I have just read the recent thread about baking in school. Great advice and bravo to the little lady that stood up for herself and the mom who backed her! This is the first time I have had a potential problem with a teacher. So far we have had great luck and amazing teachers. My sons preschool teacher wants to bake gingerbread cookies...

    My heart goes out to you and Ellie. I hope you find your answers to help her feel better soon. Michael was not FTT but was very low on the weight gain charts. The doctors told me to up his calorie intake as much as possible, this is difficult with diet restrictions and picky eaters, both of which he has/is. I "hid" a lot of things in his regular food! Good...

    That's so funny, my husband said the same thing about the beer!

    Hi All, I just have to rant and rave about my daughter's first grade teacher! So I picked Katharine up at school yesterday and her teacher stopped me in the hall. They are reading a book about blueberry muffins and want to bake blueberry muffins at school. So I assumed they were going to ask me to bring in a blueberry muffin for Katharine which would...

    Wow, reading this and thinking back my DD used to be attached to a sippy cup too. Now, not so much. She drinks normally. Interesting...

    We just did a hay ride last weekend. Both kids seem to be fine however the hay was alfalfa not wheat. The farmer there told me that typically if they say "straw" it is wheat. He told me that straw is the bottom of the wheat. Just thought I would pass that along. All of the people we spoke with were so nice about our questions. The first two didn't know...

    For those of you who live and/or use Meijer as a supermarket, I found a link on their website which lists all the Meijer Brand products which are gluten-free along with their gluten-free specialty items. Thought I would pass along the link. Open Original Shared Link Hope everyone is happy and healthy and had good start to the school year!

    My DS had the same problems as your little one last year. He had 7-9 bm's per day, all green or clay colored. Very irritable, rash on the bottom and food coming out comletely undigested dark purple circles anda terribly distended belly. We did the gene test when his sister was diagnosed with celiac and it was positive. His blood tests were neg but GI was...

    I found that we have been getting glutened from Kraft shredded cheese. It is the only thing that my daughter ate regularly to cause her numbers to stay elevated. Anyway the reason I am telling you this is that when I talked to Kraft they stated as always that the clearly marked gluten on their packages but when I pushed further about cc they would not garuntee...

    The ingredients for the Tom Sawyer Flour are as follows: White Rice flour sweet rice flour tapioca flour xanthan gum unflavored gelatin This is the only thing they make so I don't think that there would be a soy or nut problem however it is something you would want to call about to be absolutely sure. 877.372.8800

    Hi everyone, Just wanted to share our joy. Katharine had her GI checkup in June. Her Ttg's came back at 85. I was amazed as I thought we were doing great. But obviously not. She hadn't had her rash or weird bm's or anything but they were up none the less. So here we go again on the hunt for hidden gluten. I made 2 changes as far as food goes as everything...

    Wow, it's like reading about my ds all over again. Michael was having green poop 8 times per day sometimes with completely undigested food in it sometimes not. Sometimes hard sometimes a mess but ALWAYS green or yellow. I heard and was told the same as your first response. Michael like your son was tested very early since Katharine is positive. He was...

    I also love the Tom Sawyer flour. I use it for EVERYTHING and everyone in my family loves it as well. Most of the time when friends come over and eat baked goods they say... "this is gluten free, you can't even tell" I am able to recreate everything I made prediagnosis so the kids miss out on nothing. It turns out beautiful cookies and cakes. My extended...

    Hi All, Would living in a town where there is a large scale factory be a problem? For instance, would gluten go in the air and make Katharine sick?

    The journal idea is key. If you are concerned about glutenings, keep a food journal. Write down what he eats, when, and his bowel movements. After a couple of weeks you will begin to see a trend. I used this to find gluten being the problem with my son. The dr. loved it! I also used the technique to narrow down that he had a dairy and soy allergy when...

    My son's bloodwk and biopsy both came back negative. He had undigested food, rainbow of colors for stool, temper tantrums, mood swings, tummy aches and the list goes on. After all the tests were done, the GI gave us an antispasmadic med to stop the tummy aches. I decided at that point (she had told me that we had run all the tests and to see if this helps...

    Thanks for the reply! We drink milk everyday with no problems. Katharine was lactose intolerant at first but she is fine now. I didn't know about the protein! Thanks again!

    Our local store stocked Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oats. My kids were thrilled as they both loved oatmeal and oatmeal cookies. We tried it and it didn't go well. Within 1 hour Katharine had a terrible rash on her bottom and a stomach ache. Michael's tummy hurt and he had a rash as well. Both of their BM's were almost white the next day. The next day...
