    The convenience foods that we like are cheese quesadillas (made with corn or brown rice tortillas), peanut butter on gluten free toast or Glutino crackers, cream cheese on the large Ener-G crackers, Kettle chips (most are gluten free, check the label), pizza with Kinnikinnick pizza crust, Trail mix made with Health Valley corn crunch-ems, craisens, marshmallows...

    I think it was after 100 posts.

    WOW, that was fast! Thanks for the quick response! I'm in the middle of slow roasting a barbecue chicken and I just ran out of the original flavor and all I have is the hickory flavor in my pantry. Thanks again.

    Could you please refresh my memory, are all flavors of Sweet Baby barbecue sauce gluten free? I bought the hickory & Brown sugar flavor and I need to know in a hurry! Thank you!

    Well, I have no idea what a fruit pizza is, but you could probably make it like before but substitute gluten free flour and other gluten free ingredients. I often use this mix in recipes to substitute wheat flour: 3 parts white rice flour, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch/flour & 1 tsp xanthan gum for each 1.5 cups flour. Another flour...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I admit I did get into a bad habit of letting him decide what to have for breakfast after diagnosis. I also thought he was reacting to eggs and I didn't know what to feed him. I do also give him gluten-free frozen waffles (he doesn't like the ones I make), peanut butter toast, pancakes (he will tolerate them sometimes), or...

    Well, I learned in a first aid class that putting anything on a burn, even a sunburn, is bad because it keeps the heat in. That being said, I have always used aloe gel. It's cooling and soothing. If the sunburn is severe then I would use a pain relieving spray like Dermaplast. Hope you feel better.

    I am looking for recommendations for gluten free cereals that are healthy and kid-friendly. My son is really picky, which seems to be a trend around here. When we first went gluten free I bought some Perky-O's and some Envirokids cereal but I don't remember which one. He refused to eat both of them. Ever since he's been eating Trix, Dora stars, and most...

    Any chance I could get your chocolate cake recipe? My son's birthday is coming up.

    Dannon may use gluten as a stabilizer in their products. Yoplait yogurts are mostly gluten free (except for obvious flavors) and will list their gluten. There are many companies that will fully disclose gluten on their labels. If you're not dealing with one of those companies then I recommend that you call the company directly because they are your best...

    My son was diagnosed nearly 4 months ago by blood work alone. I plan to get him retested at 6-12 months to be sure that his blood levels are coming down. At that same time they can also screen for many other things. Some of the things that I plan on requesting are tests for tissue antibodies, such as liver, pancreas, gall bladder, and thyroid. I've read...

    We're invited to my boyfriend's father's house and they don't go out of their way to accommodate my son. I understand that no one is obligated to go out of their way, but I don't want him to have to feel different around family. That's a whole new topic... They usually serve traditional barbecue food like hot dogs and hamburgers. I am going to bring...

    I actually have one of those mixes that I have not tried yet. If it's that good, maybe it's worth the money. There are about 30 guests invited. Thank you for all the replies. As always everyone is so helpful.

    My son's Birthday is coming up in a little over a month, and I plan on having a large party. I would like to make a cake from scratch because the mixes are so expensive and usually make a smaller amount than a normal cake mix. I am going to make a cake using a race car mold and also some cupcakes. I need a cake that is not too finicky because it can't...

    I don't think that blood tests are reliable until after 24 months of age. My son was 3.5 years old when he was tested and he had very high tTG levels, but he was also a carb junkie. If you think that your infant is reacting, you could try contacting enterolab or go gluten free until the child is old enough to be tested and then do the gluten challenge....

    I've tried the Lundberg risotto. It's ok as an occasional side dish, but I couldn't eat it as a meal. For a quick side dish I also use Walmart brand scalloped potatoes. They're ok in a pinch.

    Well I usually convert old recipes to gluten free by using the following mix: 3 parts white rice flour, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch/flour and 1 tsp xanthan gum per 1.5 cup flour. This mix has not failed me yet. When recipes call for you to coat meat with flour I use cornstarch. Here's a link to a great bread recipe: Open Original...

    Kraft and General Mills will list their gluten. You should check their websites to see all of the brands they produce. ConAgra has never given me a clear answer, and it has changed every time I have called in the past few months, so I personally avoid ConAgra. I figure that if their employees don't know what they're talking about, then they must not have...

    This bread seems to be a favorite of everyone who's tried it. There's at least one 17 page thread about it. I have a loaf rising in my oven right now. This time I am cutting the milk in half to see if it stops the top from sinking while it cools. Whether it sinks or not, the bread is delicious. My very picky son will even eat a peanut butter and jelly...

    I came across this recipe a while ago, but I just made them for lunch. They are so simple to make and my VERY picky son loves them. I made extra so that I can freeze them and send them to daycare. Here's a link to the recipe: Open Original Shared Link

    Wow! Thank you. I was just thinking that I need to try another recipe. My son's first B-day party since the diagnosis is coming up in six weeks, and I'm trying to find the best cake recipe! The gluten-free mixes are so expensive and you usually get less than a regular mix.
  22. JennyC
    Yes, they make the Trix, Dora, Mickey Mouse club house, and the Little Einsteins cereals. I give those to my son, but as with anything made in a shared facility there is always a risk of cross contamination. It's a personal decision.
  23. JennyC
    I will check! Maybe they can order Bell & Evans & Kinnikinnick too!
  24. JennyC
    I looked it up on the General Mills website, and the ingredients looked fine. When I contacted general mills they said that they will clearly list their gluten. I would trust it, but you can always call them to double check.
  25. JennyC
    There's a recipe with really good reviews on either allrecipes.com or recipezaar.com, my standbys. Just do a search for gluten free pizza crust under recipes.
