    Most pasta sauces are gluten free. All classico red & white sauces are gluten-free and Newman's Own has a gluten-free list on their website under FAQ. As for quick side dishes Most Lundenburg boxed side dishes are gluten free and do are many of WalMart's boxed potato dishes.

    Since you have celiac disease, I'm sure that you understand the diet well so I'll list off some of the gluten free foods that my son likes. He likes the Glutino ritz shaped crackers with Peanut butter, the large Ener-G crackers with cream cheese and lunch meat, Ener-G Seattle crackers (similar to wheat thins), and the Blue Diamond Nut thins. He likes popcorn...

    Koolaid is made by Kraft, so any gluten would be clearly listed.

    Bell & Evans make the best gluten-free chicken nuggets...BY FAR! They taste just like the Tyson nuggets. My son wouldn't touch the Ian's chicken nuggets. Not to offend those who like them, but they taste similar to someone wrapping a stale corn tortilla around a piece of chicken.

    They don't contain gluten in the ingredients. Walk over there and get some! Here's a link to the Frito-Lay gluten-free list: Open Original Shared Link

    I've bought it at Fred Meyer/Kroger and Safeway. The background color of the label is white. I hope you can find it, it's really good.

    My son's poop was always sandy before going gluten free as well. Thankfully it's gone now. When he gets glutened he has the gross floaty loose stools. I don't think that's much better though.

    The information that I posted was correct as of 5/14/2007.

    Duncan Hines creamy style frostings are also gluten free except for the coconut pecan flavor!

    Soy flour is icky! It seems like it is a major component of Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Flour, so you may want to avoid that as well. The flour mix that I just posted works out well in cakes, but I think that I might try experimenting by adding a bit of a heavier flour in the mix sometimes.

    I use this flour mix for pretty much everything: 3 parts white rice flour, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch/flour, and 1 tsp xanthan gum per 1.5 cup flour unless otherwise noted. I also use amaranth flour and almond meal quite a bit. Sweet rice flour has a higher starch content than regular white rice flour, so you may not want to use it in...

    Many gastros consider the blood tests as a screening tool for those who need the biopsy. Many believe that the biopsy is the "gold standard" for diagnosis. In order to get an official diagnosis you usually need a positive biopsy. This is slowly changing, but unfortunately many doctors are stuck in their ways.

    Here's a link to a Gluten-free Casein-free hot dog bun recipe made by the same lady who made the famous bread recipe. You should be able to turn it into hamburger buns. Let us know how it turns out if you try it! Open Original Shared Link

    I'm not sure how long it usually takes adults to feel better, maybe others can chyme in. I would just be sure that you have been on the diet long enough to heal first. If the gluten-free diet is still not helping you then I would try the gluten challenge. If you do the gluten challenge you can always get retested at a later date if you do not find a cause...

    I'm just curious what others plan to do when the codex definition kicks in January 2008. Will the gluten free label be good enough or will you still continue to call those companies to get more information? I'm also curious how many gluten free labels (such as Wall Mart brand) will disappear in Jan. 2008. Just curious of others' opinions.
  16. JennyC
    I would get white rice flour, tapioca starch/flour, potato starch, xanthan gum, and flax or almond meal. I'm experimenting with amaranth flour right now and it's pretty good, try it if you're up for experimentation. I would also load up on Tinkyada pasta. Bell and Evans chicken nuggets and Dr. Preager's (sp?) fish products are really good. You may also...

    I too think that it is an addiction thing. As I mentioned in another one of my responses my son also lived on carbs before diagnosis. Now he is opening up a bit on what he will eat. Now he loves white meat and hot dogs. He also will try more fruits and veggies. He will now eat rice, but still no potatoes except french fries. We do eat a lot of gluten...

    That is absolutely horrible!!! They should pay for more than the second test! You should be able to request/demand that they give her gas (nitrous oxide?) before they insert the IV. She will be totally out and will not even feel the IV. Since she will be asleep an anesthesiologist will need to be present. They should have no problems accommodating your...

    Here's a list that I got from Tylenol a couple of months ago: In reference to your inquiry concerning the gluten content in our products, I have listed below the products which have been tested and do not contain detectable levels of gluten. The following McNeil products have been tested and do not contain detectable levels of gluten: Children's...

    Earlier this year I was in your exact situation!!! My son had very high numbers from his blood work also. His pediatrician called me and told me that he has celiac disease, start the gluten free diet, and gave me a referral to a pediatric gastro. I followed her advice and started him on the diet. I cleaned out our home before I picked up up from daycare...

    Thank you for the link! I hope that the instructions are E A S Y T O F O L L O W! I bought tips because I was going to try to make his cake last year, but I backed out last minute. Maybe I will start practicing now. I will definitely order one of those pans. I will do one of those cakes plus cupcakes since I tend to invite the entire state to his...

    I live in Portland Oregon and the story was on our local news. It is horrible. It's sad that one's socioeconomic status has such an impact on how one is treated--especially in a life and death situation. I hope that there are severe consequences for those involved, and a massive training session in humanity.

    I basically followed the directions. I used regular milk, but I bet buttermilk would be great! You could also use soy milk if it needs to be dairy free. You should be able to make soy buttermilk/sour milk by adding a little bit of vinegar to the soy milk before adding it to the batter. I did go with the 1 cup of boiling water, I added some instant coffee...

    I'm sorry that you had that experience. I understand where you are coming from though. It is heart breaking to see your child upset about not being able to have food. We have taken our 3 year old son to one B-day party so far and we brought a cupcake, but he still freaked because the cake was Disney's Cars theme and was beautiful and looked delicious....

    That sounds interesting! I made brownies with very little flour and used almond flour/meal, and they turned out great! In general, how are the recipes? I might buy that book too. Thanks.
