    Can you ask/convince your brother to get tested for celiac before your daughter's appointment in December? His diagnosis will be the concrete evidence your ped. is "looking for" and it will help your brother too! While your at it...if he does have it, have your other children (at least the 5yo) tested too. There is a great thread about the pros and...

    I found it at a small, local, mom & pop store. However, you may find it at a store near you ... It is labled "Sathers" and it is sold in 2/$1.00 4oz. bags. It almost looks generic, but with a Red & Yellow label. The label on the back says "Farley's & Sathers Candy Company, Inc. Round Lake, MN 56167" PS Mariann was right... they are a bit...

    Thanks for your replies! I found a bag of Farley's Candy Corn today... just in time for my son's school Halloween party. FYI The "Room Moms" (who were soooo good to call me and ask what products my gluten-free son could have!) came up with a great gluten-free Halloween treat. "Monster Claws" (1) clear plastic glove per child .... fill tips of fingers...

    Richard, I just came back to the message board to post my feelings after receiving a call back from Brachs.... and saw your reply. "Ditto"

    Does anyone know if it is gluten free? I called the company, but have not received an answer yet. These are the ingredients: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Salt, Honey, Soy Protein, Gelatin, Confectioner's Glaze, Dextrose, Artificial Flavor, Titanium Dioxide Color, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red 3, Blue 1. I know there are a couple of brands of candy corn listed on...

    At the advice of an allergist, I do not list gluten as an allergen or celiac disease on my children's medical alert braclets. I only list the allergies that cause an anaphylactic reaction. (peanuts, tree nuts, pennecillin, etc.) In case of a medical emergency, I do not want an EMT wondering what gluten/celiac is, and delay administering life saving medication...

    Does anyone know what this is? I'm questioning it as an ingredient in Mariani's Yogurt covered Rasins Thanks

    Pam, Did you go to the Elephant Walk the weekend of the 24th? I was going to make a reservation for my anniversary. Any feedback would be great!

    Sharon, Try this... Open Original Shared Link I think the other may have been an old link.
  12. Ruth
    P.S. Sharon... I forgot to mention, I think you are right about the "loss as a gain" aspect of dealing with this. It does come up sometimes, "Mommy, I wish I didn't have to worry about what I have to eat" or "Mommy, I wish I could have the same pizza as everyone else at the party" .... It's true, we cannot diminish the real feelings of loss, etc they will...

    Sharon, It sounds like you are on the right path in discussing this with your son. After all, you know your child better than anyone else. I took a similar approach with my daughter. All three of my children were screened as a result of my being diagnosed with celiac. My daughter's blood work came back very high positive. We (my husband and I) were shocked...

    Hi Bridget, I was wondering why I couldn't find those Chicken Nuggets! UGH! I did hear that Ian's is coming out with a gluten-free chicken nugget... I'll let you know if I find them. I've never used the Delphi forum list. I'll be printing it out today, Thanks! It is interesting how overtime you find what gluten-free products suit your situation and...
  15. Ruth
    Hi Sharon, My daughter was diagnosed at 8-years old, so I understand your need for a "mainstream" product list. I also use the CSA list however, I find this list even more helpful Open Original Shared Link Be sure to check the latest ingredient lists because sometimes the product formulations change. My daughter (and my 6 year old son) also have peanut...

    This is a delicate issue! While you don't want your gluten-free kid to be jealous of non-gluten-free siblings' food.... you also don't want non-gluten-free kids to "blame" the gluten-free child for what they are missing. I think that the ages of your children will play a big part in how you handle things in your home. I would never expect a child without...

    Wow! This is great news.... I haven't even investigated this since going gluten-free in March of 2003. I always used to use progresso as a quick lunch. Thanks, This good news comes just in time for cold weather!

    Ryebabyo, Where do they have these classes? I have emailed Elephant Walk in Boston (they have a gluten-free menu... and offer cooking classes...) but they haven't gotten back to me yet. Any others in the Boston area interested in cooking classes? Where do you go? Thanks, Ruth

    Dear Taylor's mom, I'm not fully aware of your daughters situation, but please remember... blood tests do not always show if someone has celiac disease! I underwent many tests after receiving a negative blood test for celiac. The other tests were unnecessary (hind sight is 20-20) although I am glad I had them to rule out any other more severe problems...

    Hi, My daughter was tested because I was diagnosed. She had absolutely NO symptoms --- I never thought she would test positive... but she did. (Positive blood test and biopsy) She was diagnosed at eight years old... December will mark one year gluten-free for her. Let me know if you need tips on eating school... friends houses... etc. Good Luck, Ruth

    ARCHIVED Child Magazine

    Ruth posted a topic in Publications & Publicity

    Just glanced through Child magazine last night. There were a couple of references to children with food allergies. The "Recipe Finder" is about "Allergy Free Meals" with a focus on wheat-free recipes for "children with food allergies". It looks like all but 1 of the recipes are gluten-free. I wish they noted that the first recipe for "Wheat Free Chicken Bites...

    Call the Executive Chef at the Four Seasons, Boston. I had a wonderful gluten-free meal there at a charity event. They gave me what everyone else was being served, but prepared it gluten-free. I'm sure they could assit you, and there is a great view... right on Boston Common/The Public Garden... be sure to request a window seat! Good Luck!

    I'm not sure if this will work for you, but try Enjoy Life Foods. Their labels on cookies, cereal etc. say they do not use most major allergens. I know one of the boxes says the product is free of nuts, soy, corn, yeast, dairy, and gluten ... not sure about rice though. It's worth a call/visit to their web site. Good Luck!

    I was also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia....in 1999 after my second child was born. After three years of pain, I was diagnosed with Celiac... b/c of my anemia... and after about 6-9 months gluten-free my fibromyalgia symptoms went away completeley. The doctors say this is a coincidence.... I definetly know it is related to gluten. I was diagnosed with...

    Just wanted to let everyone know of a great new gluten free cookie! EnJoy Life Foods makes double chocolate and "no oats" oatmeal cookies that have won rave reviews from my kids! They are also free of other common allergens: tree nuts, peanuts, eggs, soy, dairy, casein, corn, potato and yeast (as per the double chocolate box) Check out www.enjoylifefoods...
