ARCHIVED Food For Life Bread Products
cruelshoes replied to stolly's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I personally do not care for any of the FFL breads. I think they are much too heavy and dense. Their brown rice tortillas, however, are fabulous. -
ARCHIVED Everyday Minerals - Great gluten-free Mineral Make-up!
cruelshoes replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think GBB sounds really nice. I can't wait to get my order! Mojave sounds like a lot of fun in moderation, too. My DH is doing the same thing. He keeps asking "are you sure there's nobody else?" I think he's (mostly) kidding. I keep saying it's all for him, but what I really mean is that it's all for ME!!! I love... -

ARCHIVED Feeding An Extremely Limited Child
cruelshoes replied to jillflip's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My kids have always been much more willing to try new things that they had a hand in preparing. We have a garden every year,and always try to plant a few new things. They are more willing to try them if they planted the seed, watered it, harvested it, etc. There are some great kids cookbooks out there, some even geared to younger kids like yours... -
ARCHIVED Waiting For Biopsy Results While My Daughter Suffers
cruelshoes replied to clemrobey's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You've made it through the hardest part. Now that she has had the biopsy, there is no reason to continue gluten. I hope you see positive changes on the gluten-free diet. -
ARCHIVED Everyday Minerals - Great gluten-free Mineral Make-up!
cruelshoes replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
WW340! You look so great in your picture. I am still not brave enough to post a picture of myself, no matter how good may makeup looks. I found a new combination that looks great today. Good china all over, snowflakes on the lid and mystic night as a liner. Very hot, if I do say so myself. The DHL site says my order is projected to be delivered... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free And Spelt
cruelshoes replied to Annaem's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Spelt is an ancient form of wheat. It can sometimes be tolerated by people with a wheat allergy, but it is not safe for those on a gluten free diet because the molecular structure is too similar. It is often marketed as "wheat free", but it is not gluten free. Open Original Shared Link -
ARCHIVED Chuck E Cheese Parties?
cruelshoes replied to dandelionmom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
This is exactly why I would let my son go to a chuck e cheese party. I always tell him he has a choice with this disease - to avoid situations because there will be gluten there or to go do the things he wants to do and make modifications where necessary. I think kids as young as preschool do know when they are being left out of the party. But if... -
ARCHIVED Everyday Minerals - Great gluten-free Mineral Make-up!
cruelshoes replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Woo Hoo! Another member has been added to the collective. Resistance is futile. 1. Like Donna said, EM doesn't have a mascara yet, but they are working on one. I use one from Avon because my Mom's avon lady knows she is an easy target so I always get loaded up on Avon crap. 2. I take off my eye makeup with baby oil because I... -
ARCHIVED 6 Weeks On Cf Diet With No Changes
cruelshoes replied to cruelshoes's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
We have introduced some soy cheese, but that's about it. We have been using rice or almond milk for drinking and cooking. I will definitely ask his neurologist about soy when we go back in for our appointment next week. When you removed soy did you re-introduce dairy? I don't think I can deal with gluten, dairy AND soy. Losing dairy has been a tough... -
ARCHIVED Going Gluten Free Without A Diagnosis
cruelshoes replied to Nic's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Open Original Shared Link Celiac is considered a disability under the Rehabilitation act of 1973. If you decide you want to go for a 504, the process will vary by school district. Some will have you contact the school directly, while some will require you to begin the process with the district Special Ed office. You should be able to ask in your... -

ARCHIVED Brown Rice Crispy Treats
cruelshoes replied to sickchick's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Sounds yummy. I bet it would be really good with almond butter, too. Be careful about your brown rice syrup, though. Much of it is made with barley. Open Original Shared Linkis safe, but there may be other safe brands too. -

ARCHIVED Using Old Drugs For Art, Does Anyone Know...
cruelshoes replied to ravenwoodglass's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Good luck on your painting. I think we all have different ways of working our way through things. Just one bit of advice, though. If you do decide to use the real thing, make sure it is well out of reach of kids. My Uncle was a Narcotics detective when I was a kid. He had a large board on which he had mounted real meds next to pieces of candy to... -

ARCHIVED Everyday Minerals - Great gluten-free Mineral Make-up!
cruelshoes replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think we all need cute little pink handbags to carry our brishes around in. Kind of like the starlets in Hollywood with their little lunatic dogs. I'm pretty excited about the new colors. I have gone back and tried a few things I originally thought weren't for me and I like them. I originally thought Text Message was way too dark for... -

ARCHIVED Cadbury Cream Eggs- Now With Wheat :(
cruelshoes replied to SuperGina's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I do not like Cadbury Creme eggs, but it appears that Glucose syrup, even if derived from wheat, is a gluten free ingredient. I think it will be another decision we all have to make like the one on McDonald's fries, but below is information on this ingredient. I suspect that there has been no change to the ingredients for the creme eggs, only that the... -

ARCHIVED 6 Weeks On Cf Diet With No Changes
cruelshoes replied to cruelshoes's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Really? 3 months? That seems like such a long time. Oh, well, if it does turn out to be 3 months at least we will be more than half way there. Believe me, Ice cream is definitely on the agenda after our next appointment. I have been careful to tell my son, though, that we have to get the doctor's OK first. Not trying to promise that...
