    The store lady wasn't really saying it was/wasn't gluten-free, but I'm not sure she would have known completely. It was just frustrating to see someone buying spelt for a Celiac when I know in my heart-of-hearts it is not OK. GRRRR. Just frustrating because people like that spoil it for everyone else! My SMIL has a friend who has Celiac or gluten...

    Hubby wants to get tested for DH because we are thinking that is what on his hands. We do know that when he doesn't eat gluten, the rash subsides. When he eats gluten, it flares back up. He's getting the deer-in-headlights response from places he's called, but he's not exactly a stellar phone communicator. What test should he ask for? Is he better...

    I have a great banana bread recipe, also, and went to Pamela's and barely missed a beat. I've had MANY people comment that it doesn't seem gluten free. One thing to remember about Pamela's is that it has the baking powder already in it, so you may want to adjust accordingly if need be. Also remember Pamela's has almond in it, so the muffins wouldn't be...

    That is awesome! I wish I could keep my son's school from using Cheerios, et. al. in projects. They used oatmeal for a project at Christmastime (reindeer feed or something) and I about panicked! He doesn't have gluten problems, but his sister does and I hate bringing that stuff into the house!

    I was shopping in my favorite local health store yesterday, Vitamin Cottage, loading up on my weekly gluten-free specialty stuff. I really love this store. Now that they are keeping Kinnickinnick pizza crust in stock regularly, I have no need to go to Whole Foods. YAY!!!! Anyway, I was perusing the gluten-free baking aisle yesterday seeing if there was...

    So are you saying the ingredients haven't changed (i.e. have malt flavoring) but are labeled as gluten free?

    The Denver chapter site is no longer running, but I do have a contact name so I'll try there. What a big pain!

    So, we inadvertently discovered Hubby's gluten intolerance when our whole house went gluten-free last May after our daughter's diagnosis. We noticed his GI symptoms (which we didn't realize were symptoms at the time) plus the blistery rash on his fingers cleared up when he would go without gluten for weeks at a time (the non-Celiacs eat gluten when not...

    I've seen the Kraft cheese stuff near the microwave popcorn.

    I can promise you that before my daughter had to go gluten free I was the worst cook ever. In the last year I've learned how to cook just about everything we eat from scratch. Start with the easy things like Pamela's pancake mix, Pamela's wheat-free bread, and the Gluten Free Pantry sandwich bread then work your way up to mixing your own flours (I'm not there...

    One word: Pancakes How? Pamela's pancake mix. My daughter's 10th birthday was a sleepover and I had to make breakfast for 12 girls. I made the pancakes and no one questioned the gluten-free status. You can make them in advance and microwave or make that morning and keep warm wrapped in foil. So so so so good!

    We make what we call "fat eggs" We take a small glass pyrex dish and spray it w/ oil (for no sticking) then lightly beat an egg and nuke it for 35 seconds. It is soooo fast. Sometimes we pre-make egg cups for the week and make a scrambled egg/veggie mix and bake in cupcake tins for single-servings. Also very quick to reheat and eat.

    Hubby is Italian. I am (and my daughter is) mostly English/French/Irish, in that order.

    My daughter eats that, the Chicken/Rice/Vegetable, and the corn chowder with no problem. I think it's ConAgra and they are good labelers.

    Ok. So we'll start with a little background. My husband isn't my daughter's biological father, but he adopted her as a toddler. My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac almost a year ago. She did have skin issues and of course they cleared up right away when going gluten-free. It was always classified as eczema, never DH, even through the Celiac diagnosis. It...

    Thanks so much! (I guess no one is in the mood to discuss 504 plans, and I'm scouring the earth for gluten-free stage makeup!) She had to write an essay on why she wanted to go to school there, and the theme was that as isolating as celiac can be, when she is on stage, she gets to be like everyone else and that performing makes her feel normal and free...

    To see the pics, you can copy just the URL of the pics into your browser and view them that way. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v161/cshelton/eczema.webp http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v161/cshelton/eczema1.webp http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v161/cshelton/eczema2.webp That looks almost identical to the rash my daughter had before...

    Well, this thread is starting with some great news. My daughter was accepted into a local public school with an arts focus. She'll get to spend 90 minutes a day in a theatre class, in addition to a rigorous academic program. She has attended a private, Catholic school up to this point, where a 504 plan would not apply. If it was just a "normal" public...

    We keep our house gluten-free and I'm glad we do. At first I thought we could manage having wheat bread and such around for my son, hubby, and me to use (my daughter is the only Celiac in the house). After researching problems with CC, and trying to think how much gluten my 3 year old could spread around the house to make his sister sick, we decided to make...

    My daughter had eczema prior to diagnosis and it went away completely after she went gluten free and flares up again if she gets glutened. She had tummy aches, headaches, and dark circles as well. All cleared up going gluten-free. I'd say especially since you know it's in the family (YOU!) that there's a good chance she has it as well!

    Before I get into what I *think* are dairy-related symptoms, I'd like to hear from other parents who observe gluten-free/CF and what types of reactions happen when exposed to dairy/casein. For a while my daughter was basically dairy-lite because she doesn't care for most dairy products, but she has taken a liking to Yoplait strawberry smoothies for...

    Finding this forum is probably the best thing you could have done. I would have been lost without it, and I'm just barely going on 1 year of gluten-free from when my daughter was diagnosed! The sooner you can convince your husband the gluten-free diet takes 100% diligence the better. I know it can be frustrating, and no matter how "dramatic" you seem about...

    The Margaritaville in Key West will surely accomodate you. Call ahead. I have heard several good experiences about eating at Margaritaville restaurants around the country. I'm so jealous you get to go! Key West is high on my to-do list!

    The fundamental problem I have with a lawsuit like this, is I fear it will lead to all restaurants not providing allergen-friendly listings and complete lack of accomodation for people with food "disabilities." There is nothing that requires restaurants to provide such dining options and I'm certain there is no way to guarantee a particular dining experience...

    There are a few people who I trust to prepare her meals. Both sets of my in-laws do a great job and have purchased a set of cooking utensils, etc just for when they cook for her and we made them a "high alert" list about hand washing, CC, reading labels as a quick checklist to refer to when cooking for her. My folks keep their house stocked with gluten-free...
