    It takes quite a while to heal, and even longer to "get the hang of" the diet. If you would like feel free to post what your daughter has been eating and the folks here can look for hidden gluten. It is easily missed. Include brand names of items, medicines, vitamins, toothpastes, anything that goes into her mouth. Sometimes it is something simple that has...

    Here is another article on the Westport student. I thought I would share it. -Jessica Open Original Shared Link

    I make sure to label my containers of butter, jelly and such. I just use a magic marker and put my name on them or something silly like "NO GLUTEN ALLOWED". At my parents house I also get one of the drawers in the fridge to put "my stuff" so it doesn't get mixed up with everyone elses. -Jessica

    *Veggies and Ranch dip *gluten-free cookies (I like glutino better than pamela's, but they are more expensive) *gluten-free mini waffles and syrup *pudding cups and plastic spoons * Chips and salsa *nuts *fresh strawberries and reddi whip -Jessica

    Well I can't say that you will ever have to stop reading labels. I also can't say that people will ALWAYS get it. But you will become more accustom to reading labels and more used to putting up with "stupid" people!! ha Here soon you will learn to rattle off a speech to them so that they can become educated on Celiac. You won't even think twice when...

    I agree, Kraft is awesome. I feel very safe when I pick up their products. I don't have to second guess them. I LOVE KRAFT!!! -Jessica

    Hang in there. Are you having anxiety just from not being sure of what to eat?? Do you have stress somewhere else in your life right now? I guess I am not sure what you mean by anxiety..... My great grandma always says "this too shall pass". Keep your chin up. -Jessica

    Oh gosh, yep definately NOT a good idea. The gravy contaminated the chicken, but who knows if the chicken was gluten free to begin with?!?! Many of those type of things are marinated to make them tasty. Most frozen dinners from the regular grocery store are not safe for us. Amy's is a great brand to buy. It is usually found in health food stores, but...

    That's hillarious that "yes dear" said that on their show, a year or so ago they made fun of gluten intollerance. They had a play date with a child who was gluten intollerant and didn't want to go because of that. I'm almost certain it was Yes Dear. Maybe someone else can help me remember for sure. I hope that your Oprah letter works. We had a huge letter...

    Gluten Free Pantry also has a taco seasoning mix. It comes in a shaker bottle. You can find it here: http://www.gluten free.com/glu/showdetl.cfm...Affiliate_ID=92 -Jessica

    Also, Nutballz was the company who purchased the Elvis cup "tour". In Jan they did a fundraiser for Celiac disease research and had "pictures with the cup".HA Open Original Shared Link She has a good company going and is doing a lot twards research, awareness and such. -Jessica

    celiac3270- Kayla the Nutballz lady used to post on here and is a member of my group. She has her company in colorado. I have tried their meal bars and cookies. I like the bean and cheese meal bar, but it needs to be warmed up. The cookies are OK, but something I can make better at home. -Jessica

    I found this article this morning. I found it interesting that "one in 20 patients waiting for liver transplants had undiagnosed coeliac disease." Which after diagnosis led to normal liver functions. That is wild. -Jessica Open Original Shared Link

    Williams taco and chili seasonings are gluten-free. -Jessica

    If it is celiac disease, then it will not be outgrown. It is a genetic disorder which he will have for the rest of his life. Symptoms may disappear during puberty/adolescence age, but that doesn't mean that the gluten free diet can disappear with them. He still has celiac and needs to keep eating gluten free foods. Just be thankful it is not something...

    I like kinnikinnick flavor, but the hamburger buns are SOO thick, can hardly get your mouth around them with a burger inside of them. I have heard of people who slice them into 2 buns (4 pieces) and it works much better. I haven't tried that yet. I kinda gave up on the prepared bread issue. I do sandwich wraps with lettuce or just roll up the lunchmeat. ...

    You are all very welcome. I just wanted to add one thing that the paper said at the top of it that I forgot to type. So basically, still keep reading labels, and call if something SEEMS gluten free but isn't on the list. -Jessica

    Maybe the camp would furnish or allow you to have a small refrigerator in your cabin/room. Then you could buy things like gluten-free lunchmeat, cheese, some amy's meals to eat. If they won't go for that, then possibly they would allow you to have a small portion of the fridge in their big kitchen to keep some perishable items. Otherwise things such...

    Exactly, and this has NOTHING to do with you being a bad/good parent, or the child "learning what to put into her mouth" it is about COMMUNICATION!! Thank you for posting, this has been exactly my point from day 1. It is for the safety and health of the child. I hope you get things worked out with your school. Let me know if you need anything. I can...

    Most mcd's employee's are high school students, or people who are of lower education levels, sometimes even mentally challenged workers. They work for minimal pay. For someone not to understand the term "dedicated fryer" isn't really suprising. Try explaining what dedicated fryer means after you say that or say something like "do you fry your chicken nuggets...

    They are part of the team if they choose to show up to the team meetings. That is yet again their choice. The meetings many times go on without parents. Yet again, it's not a matter of "teaching kids what to put into their mouth". It's a matter of a safeguard. To make sure that your child is safe at all times during their school day. To make sure...

    Deby- A 504 plan does not take "parenting" away from the parent. It increases communication and understanding between parents, school, teachers, support staff, and child. In many schools the "case workers" or members of the "team" are the teachers, parents, support staff and child. They all sit in on meetings together and decide what steps need to...
