    One of my daughter's primary symptoms were awful growing pains in her legs and hips. It flares up when she is glutened. It cleared up completely when she went gluten free. She would wake up nights screaming and crying because her legs hurt so bad. It's one of those things as a parent you feel so awful about because there is so little you can do. Its one symptom...

    We stick to the chili, baked potatoes, and frosty's at Wendy's. I've seen most Wendy's put chix nuggets right next to the fries to keep them warm.

    I second that. I've never been there, but several articles have been written about the gluten-free goodness of Risotteria.

    My super-sensitive Celiac also eats Kix without problems. We like the honey Kix, too. Never have been able to find the berry ones.

    Our family has not had good luck with Amy's products, so we avoid them, but that's just us.

    my daughter had ridiculous sinus infections before she was dx as celiac. when she gets glutened, she'll end up with a sinus infection about 1-2 weeks later. never fails.

    I forgot a couple: Garlic Jim's (pizza in Highland's Ranch) and they DELIVER! Beau Jos (locations around town)

    In the three years since my daughter's dx, there has been an explosion of options. There are several places we eat regularly including Udi's (with several locations/variety to choose from) Ling & Louies (real breaded and fried sweet and sour chicken that is gluten-free) Noodles Chili's (no longer on our faves list since they changed the bbq sauce...

    Three times we have eaten at an Udi's successfully. Twice at the location in Denver/Stapleton and once (tonight) at the Arvada location. I can't tell you how enjoyable this is. Delicious sandwich fare at Stapleton with fries!! Real french fries. I eat gluten and I ordered a gluten-free sammich just to see how it measures up. Honestly? I was worried that they...

    My daughter had ridiculously weak teeth before she was diagnosed. Now they are white and beautiful.

    It's the crouton-removing type people who make Celiac that much more difficult for the rest of the Celiac population. (And undereducated doctors)
  12. buffettbride
    Your description is FAR more accurate. You can't be "sorta pregnant" so it's spot on. You can't be "kinda Celiac."
  13. buffettbride
    There's no such thing as a "mild form" of Celiac. If you have a diagnosis of Celiac disease via blood test and/or biopsy, you must refrain from wheat, barley, rye, and most oats for life.
  14. buffettbride
    Tests on kids, espec. that young, can be unreliable. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't pursue testing unless they started to exhibit symptoms and/or when they were at an age when the blood tests are more reliable, so that you are not overlooking Celiac that may be asymptomatic. Of course, now that you will be gluten-free, they will probably consume...

    My best friend has Crohns and has similar problems with her job. She was recently approved for short-term disability after having to have emer. surgery for an absess in a not-so-fun-place. Is short-term disability leave an option for you? It might give you some time to let your gut heal and release some of the stress from work in your life to focus on...

    Thanks for sharing! I love finding articles like this to share with my Celiac teen--to show her great things abound, even w/ coping with the day-to-day of being gluten free. :-)

    You will also want to make sure that you are not baking your gluten-free bread in the same breadmaker/pans where gluten bread is being baked. Sounds like the barley was the bulk of your problems. Barley (including malt flavoring) and oats are kind of the buzzkill of the gluten-free world. You'd think wheat-free would be good enough, but nooooooo.
  18. buffettbride
    Strongbow is a gluten free cider as well.
  19. buffettbride
    There's some really great junk food out there for Celiacs! I have a 12 year old 7th grader. She loves Fritos, ice cream (most is safe unless it has the obvious cookies, dough, brownie, pretzels, etc), Corn Nuts, Cool Ranch Dorritos.
  20. buffettbride
    I honestly don't think it's safe. Obviously, there's nothing to eat there, but all that gluten. Everywhere. I'm so thankful my DD was diagnosed after the era of Chuck E Cheese b-day parties because we never had to worry about it.
  21. buffettbride
    Chances are your GI will be more knowledgeable than a regular doc. My experience is very few regular docs are familiar enough with Celiac to give correct information. The reason for this is doctors practice MEDICINE, so they are apt to treat your ailmeints with medication. Since Celiac requires no medication, only diet compliance, it's very hard for doctor...

    In theory, fly lady is helpful---but I am not a stay at home mom so trying to fit all that cleaning in one day is nearly impossible. My daughter wants to be a stage performer/actress and is well on her way, so she's definitely picked a profession that won't require a lot of early rising.
  23. buffettbride
    Lol. I'd be afraid my daughter would lose the machine. It's not funny--but it would totally happen.
  24. buffettbride
    I crush them and use them as breadcrumbs for gluten-free homemade meatballs.
  25. buffettbride
    So does my daughter.
