    We've been gfdfsf for 2 years now. The best advice I can give for packing lunches is to make a menu, or at least a list of ideas for those mornings where you just can't think of anything. Last year, I tried writing up a month-long school lunch menu, just like the other kids got for hot lunch. It was a huge hit with the boys, but I got lazy about it after...

    I make a "hot pocket" type calzone using a biscuit dough. Smoosh it between two sheets of plastic wrap to about 1/8-1/4" thick, spread a little pizza sauce over half of the circle (stay back from the edges a bit, though), then add the pizza toppings. Fold over and crimp shut. Bake the same as a biscuit, I believe. Maybe a few minutes longer.

    I just made our Easter chocolates with the Enjoy Life chips. They turned out pretty good! I used molds to make pb cups and truffles, and then used large silicon molds to make large, hollow eggs that I put a little trinket into. Besides that, I'm doing Peeps and Starburst Jellybeans.

    I've been concerned about my calcium levels, too, since I've gone DF. I'm making a conscious effort to get enough every day. Best sources I've found are: hemp milk (something like 46% of the RDA for calcium in 8oz), fortified orange juice, and Citrical w/vit D.

    Don't know if this is what you might be dealing with, but I've (seemingly - self-diagnosed) dealt with chilbains the last few years. Open Original Shared Link Haven't really found anything that helps - they come and go during the cold months. Good luck figuring it out!

    Just wanted to chime in that I have the same symptom of sloshing (definitely sloshing, but I get the gurgling too). It's pretty much gone away since I went off gluten (and dairy & soy). You've gotten a lot of good advice so far. Don't hesitate to come back and ask tons of questions - this is a great place to learn and get wonderful help.

    Oops, that was me, needing documentation for my son's school, but I haven't followed through yet, so nothing to report. I'll post if I do find something out that may help though.

    Yeah, well, unfortunately we're casein intolerant as well, so that knocks out most of the gluten-free choices. :-( Dh is the only one in the family who eats "normally" any more. The kids do, fortunately, like salad, so that's one choice.

    I know, I know. But, actually, it's one of the better fast food places here. (Not that any fast food place is healthy.) And, I used to work there ages ago & still know the management and they run a pretty decent place. I didn't like to eat at McD's before and it was rare that we did, but in the interest of finding a few options for a quick bite...

    Since my kids have been diagnosed, I've had more reason to look into finding any restaurants that might be safe. So, I'm going through the short list of restaurants in my town - looking at websites, then emailing if I don't find sufficient information. These are the responses I just received from McDonalds and Jack in the Box, in case anyone is interested...

    I modified this recipe last week, with good results. They're fairly bland & could probably do well with some extra seasonings added. Millet, Onion & Black Pepper Diamonds modified from Creative Cooking with Grains & Pasta 1/2 c. millet flour 1/2 c. flour (I used 4 flour blend + 1/2 tsp xanthan) 1 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. black pepper...

    I'm gluten-, dairy- and soy-free as well. I can search my recipes for ones that do not contain rice - if there's something in particular, let me know. What flours do you have on hand? Peanut butter cookies 1c. peanut butter 1 egg 1c. sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 c. chocolate chips (optional) Mix the first 4 ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips, roll...

    Teff is delicious! I just ordered some through Amazon. Prior to that I'd purchased some at a co-op in a city I traveled through, so you may find it at a local store. This was the first brand I found - Open Original Shared Link Let me know if you need any recipes once you find the flour (oh, and btw, don't make the mistake of thinking you can grind the...

    Thanks for the suggestions about camp. I'm sure boy scout camp would be a nightmare. Thankfully, we won't have to deal with that this year - ds just decided to stop going to boy scouts. But, I will look into the celiac camps. That sure would be easier.

    Ooh, I just had wonderful luck converting a recipe from The Fannie Farmer Cookbook. They turned out very moist. Chocolate Buttermilk Cake makes 2 eight-inch round layers of one 9x13-inch cake (sorry, I can't remember how many cupcakes it made) 1 2/3 c. flour (I used Bette Hagman's 4 flour bean mix) 1 c. sugar 1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa 1 tsp baking...

    Thanks for the replies. I just might try contacting Enterolab and see what they say. That would sure make things easy. I had such good luck with the doctor I was seeing (but I don't know that she sees kids). When I talked to her about wanting to try the Enterolab testing (we had exhausted all of her ideas), she looked them up online as I sat there in...

    I recently got the Enterolab results for my 8 & 6 year-olds - both showed gluten and casein intolerance, so we've eliminated both from their diets. However, my 8yo is crushed by the thought of never having hot lunch at school again, so I started looking into what it would take to get the lunches modified for him occasionally. The school requires a signed...

    I made the Bette Hagman's french bread last week & it turned out quite good. AND, I baked it on a cookie sheet (my trick was that I "piped" it onto the sheet through a hole cut in the corner of a plastic bag). After that it remained shaped just fine (it wasn't quite as soft a dough as some of the gluten-free breads, though).

    I just came across this in Saveur magazine. It's by De Vries Chocolates Open Original Shared Link Sounds devine although I haven't tried it yet. It's spendy, but I plan on ordering some one of these days... Anyone tried it before? Is it worth the cost?

    I just toss together whatever I have on hand - most often a mix of nuts (peanuts, cashews, pecans, almonds, sometimes walnuts or pistachios), dried fruits (usually just raisins, but sometimes cranberries, apricots, prunes, dates), sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds (pepitas), occasionally some chocolate chips too.

    I just saw these on allerygrocer today. Open Original Shared Link Says they contain no gluten, corn or soy, BUT they are on shared lines...

    Huh. I never made a ganache before, but when I read your post I thought the filling to a cookie I made would probably be good. I looked up what a ganache is, and lo & behold, that's pretty much what my filling was. The site I checked for ganache said the basic recipe is 1 part cream to 2 parts chocolate, so you may have to tweak it a bit if no one else...

    I just switched to Friskies Signature Blend. It doesn't appear to have gluten in it. I'm sure it's not the best food out there, but it's better than what we were using & the price is still reasonable.

    Sorry I didn't get the rest of them typed up - ran out of time & packing/leaving today. I would think you could sub any flour mix. Some I used the 4 bean flour mix, others I used a rice flour mix...but I've only made each recipe once, so haven't had time to experiment. Hope you have good luck with them!

    Glad to hear the pb bars turned out! They sound good! Here are my recipes... Coconut Macaroons (modified from the Baker's Coconut bag) 1 pkg.(14 oz) Baker's Angel Flake Coconut (5 1/3 cups) 6 Tbsp arrowroot 2/3 c. sugar 1/4 tsp salt 4 egg whites 1 tsp almond extract Mix coconut, sugar, arrowroot, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in egg...
