    ARCHIVED Vegiac

    mandasmom replied to Suzanne M.'s topic in Publications & Publicity

    My daughter is also a vegiac--she was already a vegetarian when she was diagnoses. the only real challnge she has noted (in additionn to the obvious) is eating out. Many celiacs will enjoy restaurant steak house type eating--steak salad potatoes--that sort of thing. Its much more difficult as a vegiac---not too many restarants have awesome beans!!!! But I...

    I think its a mistake to assume that every bad mood or bad behavior is related to gluten--some probably are but just as many bad moods and bad days are due to something else!! Id beware of allowing Celiac Disease to define everything in your childs life---they have a lifetime of coping to due in a gluten filled world and they need to develop the skills necessary...

    Welcome--I do feel compeled to mention that many celiacs--me included- do eat products that are made on shared equiqment and in shared facilites--there are a variety of opinions on this issue. You guys will have to make those decisions as you go along...there is definetly a spectrum of choices. Some celiacs never eat in restaurants and others do so nearly...

    We have Jamba Juice all the time!! The stores list all ingredients and most of them are pretty good about clean surfaces...I for one, have never had a reaction to my JJ and they go down really easily---even on days when my stomach is a bit off!! My fav is the strawberry whirl--fresh and yummy breakfast!!

    Have you tried quinoa---an excellent and tasty source of grain..as is kasha..I believe that both of these are low on the glycemic index chart..

    I always bring deviled eggs!!~ Substantial, inexpensive and yummy...coctail meatballs work well to but not as convenient to bring along...have fun!!

    Malitol makes food taste great but causes huge GI symptoms in many folks--celiac or not!!

    Do you live near a major Celiac Center? They are much ore lilkely to take your concerns seriously...it may be worth traveling to one just to get a firm diagnosis..

    Just want to remind folks that live in communites where there may be significant Jewish population---it is Passover season and many stores in those communites are loaded with unique gluten free items--lLeiber and Gefen are two brands that have a number of unusal products identified as gluten free!!

    Im not sure that it is realistic to expect all fmaily memeber to "get it"...as celiacs we are always faced with a gluten filled world..we need to fuction in it inorder to reach our fullest potential as human bings and that means learning to live with people and their crumbs. Its never thoughtful for her to bring brownies to your birthday dinner--a fruit salad...

    What about Dannon--there web site is a bit shaddy--but the ingredient list looks totally fine to me??
  13. mandasmom
    Does anyone eat Dannon light and fit yogurt smoothies? The ingredients look okay to me, they taste yummy and I havent reacted to them at all. The Dannon website has a sort of "CYA" kinda of attittude about the product...just wondering!!

    It is difficult but not impossible to be a gluten-free Veggie--you really need to be sure that you are nutritionally sound. I would highly recommend a meeting or two with a skilled nutritionist with experience in GI issues. Gardenburger does make a gluten-free burger (check the packages -only one or two of their selections are gluten-free) and a gluten-free...

    We have been eating them for quite some time--without a problem--but I think it is another one of those situations where you have to weight your indiviual tolerance for risk

    Thanks--I think I am going to try to crush some of the MIDEL animal crackers and see if that works!!
  17. mandasmom
