    I'll add to this thread for now... My DD had Dippin' Dots a few weeks ago at the Pepsi Center in Denver. They had just put the packaging in the trash so my hubby read the label and gave it the go-ahead. She got "plain" ones (i.e. not the cookie or candy types) and did not have a reaction (and any amount of gluten gives her a reaction).

    I was under the understanding that distilled vinegar was safe (unless flavors containing gluten are added in after the distillation process). So it's possible vinegars may not be safe at all? I could totally see how that would have happened. The girl loves pickles (especially bread and butter pickles). Eeeegaaads this is hard sometimes.

    This isn't really much help since it's a different kind, but we eat the stuff in the tube 1-2 times per week. We slice it up and saute it in olive oil with garlic and onions. Then we make pattys from gluten-free italian sausage and serve on top of the polenta rounds. Top with parmesan (if you can) and Classico spag sauce and we usually serve it with fresh...

    I can share my daughter's story which isn't TOO exciting, but we had a very positive diagnosis experience (she was diagnosed in a little under 2 months with biopsy and blood tests and has responded amazingly to gluten-free diet). Things were all fine and good until about 3 years ago when she first started complaining about tummy aches, sinus troubles...

    EEEEK!!!! I glutened my DD twice this weekend, thinking Emeril's Smooth Honey Mustard was gluten-free (as listed here: Open Original Shared Link ). Maybe I'm being rash, but the meal she had that day was: Tapioca bread grilled w/ Promise spread Jif Peanut Butter Welch's Grape Jelly Glutino Pretzels Emeril's Smooth Honey Mustard Any ideas or...

    There is also a Noodles downtown and my DD has eaten there several times ordering the rice noodles, buttered with parmesan. We usually go to the one near our house and haven't tried the downtown location. There is also a Chipotle. Technically you could order just about anything there, but for some reason I can't seem to get the employees to change their...

    My daughter is 9 and she has eaten successfully at PF Changs (although we've never eaten at the downtown location) and she has enjoyed the original ribs and corn on the cob at Chilis downtown (we went when it wasn't very busy). I work in downtown Denver, if you're really in a pinch, I'm happy to pack an extra gluten-free lunch that day (our whole house...

    My DD noticed a change with every single meal. If it was a gluten-free meal--she didn't get a tummy ache or reflux symptoms. If it was gluten-y, she'd get reflux. Every single day. So, pretty much from day 1 of gluten-free she has felt better. I will add, though, that she had pretty mild symptoms compared to some to begin with.

    My DD who is 9 is having similar woes at volleyball camp (it's a day camp). She is definitely a drama queen--she'd much rather be on a stage than playing any sport, but happened to take a liking to volleyball. She is also already a diagnosed Celiac. I think her main issue is that it's HARD. Those camps keep them busy and working and active the whole time...

    Duh! I should probably add some of the meals I prepared for her. Spaghetti ala Tinkyada (one day with gluten-free marinara and another day with just butter and parmesan) Penne ala Tinkyada (mixed with Kroger NiceNEasy cheese into Mac N cheese) Ground steak made into taco meat Taco shells All condiments (sauces, butters, cheeses) Pamela's pancake...

    Last week my daughter was away at a 6 day overnight Girl Scout camp. From everything I had read, I wanted to send most of her food and just have them warm her meals instead of them cooking anything from scratch for her. I have nothing but good things to say about her experience! This is what I did: Called the camp in advance to make them aware of...

    You're very brave to even TRY eating at an airport. My daughter has Celiac and I haven't had to face that yet. The thought of anyone making her food but me scares me to no end! I have had a positive experience at the Chili's in downtown denver. I looked at the web site before I ordered (to-go) the original ribs and corn on the cob for my daughter. It was...

    I don't have much to offer than I hope your DD feels better soon and you can get her tummy worked out. I know it's a tad early, but maybe offer some rice cereal to help with weight--of course check with your dr. first and keep breastfeeding! My daughter gained weight well as a baby, but she had the same problem with fiery stools and burning butt. At every...

    It's been all gluten-free talk all the time for me, that's for sure. Yay for 'lil girls feeling better! I finally got the "Ya know mom, gluten-free isn't so bad" response from her tonight. The tummy feeling better is sure paying off! On another note, I talked to my daughter's camp director (girl scout camp) today. It's going to be tricky, that's for sure...

    I am so excited to get the laptop lunchbox! I am dreaming up the possibilities of what lunch holds for my daughter, just when I thought all hope was lost. Her usual lunchbox crapped out on us last week (it's holding together via safety pins). It had a pretty good run...two years and I just started looking for a replacement (she goes to a day camp during the...

    I was speaking with my mom today and she goes to church and is good pals with a lady who also is also celiac. They got to talking and my mom's friend offered to take my daughter out to dinner with her (to PF Changs) where she often goes out to eat and has eaten there gluten-free successfully several times. I can't even describe how excited I am! First of...

    Hi there---I think we have the same daughter. My kiddo's symptoms started with acid-reflux type things...burping fits but she too had always had a dry cough, sinus troubles, and sore throats. We went to the ped. about 2 years ago and were told to take Zantac. Didn't help much, if at all. Finally went to see the peds. at Children's Hospital as the reflux...

    Hi there. I live in Denver, and although I've never been to the 9th Door, it's a pretty classy, upscale place. I bet if you were to call the chef they would willing to accomodate you if they knew when you were coming. I'm no expert and I'm extremely new to this (my daughter is celiac) these are some menu items that "look" to be safe or could be with minimal...

    That experience practically sums up what my daughter (who is also 9) experienced for her endoscopy as well, although my daughter was mildly symptomatic. My main suggestion would be to try and have the procedure earlier in the morning rather than later because there's no food after midnight the night before. That would make for a very cranky 2 year old...

    Wow. Thanks so much! We usually shop at King Soopers (which is a Kroger store) and I'm waiting to hear back where I can see the ingredients for all the Disney Magic Selections products without having to spend hours in the grocery store doing so, because I've heard quite a bit of that stuff is gluten-free. I will definitely have to check out WalMart though...

    I think Dr. Hoffenburg did the endoscopy, but we've been seeing a PA in the GI office named Stephanie Petersburg. I think she was surprised it was Celiacs, but she was certainly diligent and prompt throughout the whole process. DD had so many of the mild symptoms, I could see how it could have gone undiagnosed for years and years.
  22. buffettbride
    I figured since there are so many bad stories about doctors and missing diagnoses of celiacs, I'll add my POSITIVE experience. My daughter had been having tummy symptoms and acid reflux for about 2 years when we decided it was time to see a specialist. We went to Children's Hospital in Denver (near where we live) and within two months we had the diagnosis...

    We picked up a box of the peanut butter Envirokids (she has a thing for Pandas, and thankfully no nut allergy!). She really likes them. She'd love the "Almost Chex Mix"...I see that becoming a total staple at our house. We also made polenta this weekend and it was simply delicious!

    Thanks so much for the warm welcome everyone! The last week has been a bit overwhelming, to say the least, but so far so good and my daughter is already starting to feel better because of limited gluten (we're not going officially gluten-free until Wednesday after we meet with the nutritionist) but she's only had maybe 1-2 foods a day that contained gluten...

    Hello everyone! My 9 year old daughter, was just diagnosed with Celiac Disease. What started out as inexplicable acid reflux, tummy aches, sore throats, recurrent sinus infections, headaches, and hypersensitive emotions two years ago finally has a name. After Zantac wasn't working to treat her acid reflux, we went to Children's Hospital of Denver (where...
