    Here's some sad news. The lady that made all their gluten-free bread and treats is no longer doing it and they don't have a new supplier. If I wasn't so swamped at my new job, I'd probably start my own business. they just have a big sign up that says that they no longer have gluten-free baked goods. They have no plans to start stocking them again. I...

    Hi there, A lot of us parents have been down this road. Our case is a little different, because my son's blood work was pretty conclusive. (4 tests in the ELISA panel, and not one of them was remotely within normal ranges) But the first GI we saw insisted that the hospital would not "treat" for celiac without the biopsy. By the time we saw the first GI...

    Elephant Walk is a bit pricey for this event. I'm just grumpy that Redbones hasn't returned my calls. In 2004 their meat was gluten-free, and now they say that it's not. Grumpy....

    Does anybody know any good restaurants that can cater a gluten free event in the Cambridge/Somerville area. I thought Redbones in Somerville was gluten-free, (at least most of their meat) but I just called them and they're not!

    If you're looking for something high end, Origins says their shampoos and conditioners are all gluten free too. Haven't try them, but if they're anything like their skincare line (also mostly gluten-free) they would be awesome. -Margaret

    Anybody know any good places to eat in Southern CT/Fairfield County area? It would be really nice to find someplace that serves gluten-free pasta.... thanks!

    It's the TTG test that is the most accurate for celiac. I think TTG is short for transglutaminase. If you go through his test results, can you find a line item for that?

    First of all, congratulations on your new little son. He is so lucky to have a mom like you! Have you tried gluten free pasta? It's made with brown rice and it's good finger foods for a little guy. My kids love it. Actually everybody in my family loves it. You can get it on Amazon in bulk if you can't find it locally. The brand is called Tinkyada. My...

    My son digs in his heels and will not try anything new most of the time. But he is very slowly adding things into his diet. He helps me cook all the time and has NO interest whatsoever in trying anything that we make. But sometimes he surprises me with what he'll try. However, his picky eating is really a blessing in a lot of ways. He never wants...

    With the new labeling laws it's fairly easy to read labels. Most major brands won't hide gluten. If it has wheat in it, they have to label for it, and barley, rye and oats are listed 99% of the time. Barley will often appear as "malt" or "malt flavoring." Basically if it has malt, it's got gluten. Although federal labeling laws don't require barley to...

    maybe ask them to pull the play dough completely. We had to do that in my preschool son's classroom because it would get all over every toy as the kids moved from station to station after using the playdough. He's terrible about putting his fingers in his mouth, so he was getting sick every time the play dough came out. They got gluten-free playdough...

    Kickass cupcakes hasn't gotten good reviews in general. Their cupcakes are small, dry and expensive. But I'm kind of psyched that there is a place to get gluten free cupcakes though! Although with the cc issue, I doubt I'd let my son eat them. I'd love to develop recipes for a gluten free bakery... But I'm not the type to get up at 3:00 AM and start...

    If you've ventured into gluten-free pie crust, I'd make quiche. gluten-free Pie crust is great. It never gets soggy. Also, angel food cake uses about a dozen eggs and is low in sugar. I know there are gluten-free recipes out there for it. But I haven't tried them.

    I tried the new TJ's brownie mix and it was really good. I used melted butter instead of canola oil (turns out butter has LESS calories, so why not?) I added about a cup of Ghiradelli dark chocolate chips. I cooked on convection bake for about five minutes less than the recipe called for. I'm sure it would be fine without the dairy. It's CF too if you make...

    Try the Envirokids Peanut butter Panda Puffs. They taste a little like peanut butter Captain Crunch, but not quite so sweet.

    I've tried 2 eggs in these and it made them slightly less dense. But I definitely prefer the richer 1 egg texture. But try them with almond flour guys! You can get almond meal at Trader Joes or whole foods! -Margaret

    Tinkyada makes a pasta called "Little Dreams" they're fun shapes. It's not canned, but it might do the trick. Bob's Red Mill makes an amazing pancake mix. You can get them both in bulk at Amazon. Publix would probably have an Asian section where they would carry rice noodles. Other people could give you a much better rundown of what Walmart has, but I...

    I'm SO sorry! These do have 1/2 cup sugar in them. One time I made them and I forgot the sugar until I was just about to put them into a muffin tin. Been a little hazy-brained lately.

    You've got nothing to loose by making them do the celiac panel. It's very accurate when it's positive. It's one blood test and if you get it done ASAP, you won't have to put her back on gluten to do it. Your primary care doctor can order it. If it's positive, that plus her response to the diet will tell you what you need to know. My son's appetite tripled...

    It's possible (In some states) to get your kitchen certified to sell things at local farmers markets. Maybe you could start there this summer? A friend of mine went through a whole nutty certification to sell jam at a farmers market in MA. But she didn't have to make it in a professional kitchen. So, it might be possible. you could advertise at health...

    cocoa pebbles and Trix are gluten free. There's another one called Dora Stars or something like that. Some stores carry Health Valley Rice and Corn Crunch 'Ems. They're basically gluten free a substitute for Chex. I've never been to Walmart, but a lot of people shop there and find a lot of gluten-free things there. Just make sure to read labels frequently...

    This is my version of an Annalise Roberts Recipe. I liked the original, but it needed more flavor. I'm always trying to figure out how to add some protein into my son's diet. I added the almond flour and it gave them a slightly more complex texture and a bit more flavor. Enjoy! Dry Ingredients 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup cocoa powder 1 cup gluten free...

    Just thought I'd give you all an update. He's been on Miralax and Probiotics for a couple weeks now. He is still complaining of stomach pain, but he's EATING again. So, I'm not sure what made the difference. The Miralax didn't make much of a difference in his BM's. He never seemed particularly constipated to me, but the Doctor wanted to try it. But...

    For those of you who live in Greater Boston, you may be familiar with Rosie's Bakery. They have the best brownies in the world. I own Rosie's cookbook and used to make them all the time before my son's diagnosis. I had been dreading trying this recipe out with my new gluten free techniques. I was really afraid of producing a dud. I LOVE the original so...
