    Thanks. So far he's doing good. I always make sure that I read labels, but I guess I've started skimming some products. I've definitely learned my lesson.

    I just thought that I would warn everyone that these fudgesicles contain malt. I think that this might be a new change, because I seem to remember buying them for my son before. They are made by Unilever, so I picked them up and read them quickly in the store and I did not catch that they had malt in the ingredients. I was exhausted, and I really didn...

    ARCHIVED Pharmacists

    JennyC replied to Rondar2001's topic in Doctors

    In general, I have found that pharmacists do not have any special information regarding gluten status. They normally read the package insert for the ingredients. It almost always contains natural flavors, so I get the number of the drug manufacturer and call them myself. I have not yet found a medication to contain gluten, but that's not to say that they...

    Fruity and cocoa pebbles are gluten free. The ingredients for fruity pebbles: Ingredients: RICE, SUGAR, POLYDEXTROSE (SOURCE OF FIBER), HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL (COCONUT AND PALM KERNEL OILS), SALT, CONTAINS LESS THAN 0.5% OF NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, RED 40, YELLOW 6, TURMERIC OLEORESIN (COLOR), YELLOW 5, BLUE 1, BLUE 2, BHA (TO HELP PROTECT...

    Wow! Thanks Tiffany! I really appreciate the time you took to write that. Yes we will definitely crate train. We are also going to take obedience classes, but I'm pretty sure that we cannot really afford it until after Christmas. You have given me more than enough information to get me started!

    Bells? That's a great idea! How do you crate-train? I had dogs growing up but they were never trained well. I really want to raise this dog right.

    Thanks guys! I would have replied sooner but I've been busy cleaning up poop. Sorry if TMI.

    Thank you so much for all of the replies! We did get a 10 week old collies puppy last night named Ty. He is great! He is such a lap dog, although I know he will get too big for that soon! I already comes to his name, and seems to understand when I tell him "no." We will also start obedience class at the end of the month. And he's a gluten free dog...

    There seems to be a favorite recipe around here. It's what I make at home and it's great! Here's a link to an earlier thread about this bread! Gluten Free Flax Bread https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=28633

    Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease because your body mounts a response to gluten complexed with your tTG molecules. If you have active celiac disease, meaning that you are consuming gluten, then you may be more likely to get sick since your body is using energy to attack itself, so it has less energy to protect itself against pathogens.

    I love it! I might just try that next time!

    Thank you!!! You all have been very helpful! I am considering a smooth collie. The herding instinct is something to consider. From what I have read, the dogs typically stop that behavior as they mature. I have also read that they are supposed to be great family dogs.

    I am thinking about getting my five year old son a dog. I would like a medium sized dog ( about 20-60 pounds) that is not too high strung. We have a medium sized yard, so the dog would have room to run around. So far I am thinking about a golden retriever, but they get a little larger than I would prefer. I am grateful for any advice!

    I think gluten free crust needs a little help--namely eggs! I use gluten free pantry pie crust mix, but I add an extra teaspoon xanthan gum and it turns out great.

    I was told they quit production in June. Also I was at Whole Foods last night in Portland Oregon and their product is still on the shelves, both the chicken nuggets and the corn dogs. I am really wondering how much gluten is too much? How much can we imagine mainstream food contains? If 200 ppm is 99.98% gluten free I highly doubt many mainstream foods...
  16. JennyC
    Ok. I just got off the phone with Wellshire. Apparently, they only need to comply with the USDA, meaning their products have to be under 200 ppm. In light of the upcoming FDA definition of gluten free, and maybe also the anaphylactic reactions, they are making steps to comply with the presumed FDA definition of gluten free, which will likely be 20 ppm...

    I like Pamela's chocolate cake mix, but not the vanilla. I have been told that Authentic Food's makes a good vanilla cake mix, but I've not tried it yet. I think vanilla cake must be one of the more difficult things to master...

    I am furious! There were rumors about this earlier this spring, so I called Wellshire Kids. I was told that they test their products and they come back as negative. My son eats their dinosaur chicken nuggets all the time, multiple times per week! This may help to explain his high-normal tTG last May. I refuse to buy their products until they get this...
  19. JennyC
    I'm so sorry that happened. I would be furious too. Please don't beat yourself up. Things like this can happen to anyone. I really hope your daughter does not really get sick.

    Also if your daughter ate Cheetos out of a bowl shared with the rest of the party, the Cheetos may have been cross contaminated at the party. We buy Walmart brand Cheetos. They say gluten free on the bag.

    I'm going to try this recipe: Open Original Shared Link

    Last Thanksgiving I made rolls from Pamela's bread mix, using the sweet bread recipe. I did not want to make rolls that taste like the bread I usually make. They were a nice change and they were quite good.

    ARCHIVED More About Dr. Kenneth Fine

    JennyC replied to Gentleheart's topic in Doctors

    lbd, welcome to the board. I don't think anyone here has a prejudice against anyone with "gluten intolerance." We all must navigate the same diet together. I'm sure that you have noticed that sometimes there can be passionate debates around here. That is because everyone goes about diagnosis and the gluten free diet a little differently, and people generally...

    ARCHIVED More About Dr. Kenneth Fine

    JennyC replied to Gentleheart's topic in Doctors

    There is a certain process that scientists and doctors go through in order to communicate their findings to the scientific community and and to start the process of getting their method approved for clinical use. Publishing in a scientific journal is the very first step. It enables one's peers to critique and evaluate one's work. Often first attempts to...

    I love chocolate, and I think there is more than enough cocoa in the frosting. If you did want to add even more chocolate and it got too thick you could thin it out with milk. Also remember to beat it at a high speed until you get the texture you want, after the consistency it right. If dramatically improves the texture. Happy baking!
