ARCHIVED How To Handle Playdough In The Classroom?
kbdy replied to concernedmamma's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Can you provide them w/the recipe for the home made dough & have them do it as a class? That way they can see how it's made? That might be an option? -
We use Pamela's as well. We buy it in bulk from Amazon. That's the best bread we've found so far, but haven't tried Udi's. We've had the same problem w/Schar's bread. Can't for the life of me figure out how to make it w/o the outside being like a brick!

We recently traveled there & had wonderful experiences in a few places. The first was at Gluten Free Creations Bakery Open Original Shared Link They have THE BEST stuff we've ever tasted & my 5yr old loved all of it!! We also went to Sourdough Pizza Restaurant 7440 E Main St # 1 Mesa, AZ 85207-8300 (480) 985-6658 and they were fabulous...

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Wear A Medical Bracelet?
kbdy replied to lindalee's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My child has one that never comes off, but she's 5 & this is the first time that she's been away & eating without me nearby. In my experience adults don't take Celiac very seriously & I had one teacher say "it's not like she'll die from eating gluten, right?" So yes dd has one & I feel it helps tremendously! As an adult, not sure. -
ARCHIVED What Are The Best Prepared Foods And Where Can You Get Them
kbdy replied to KathyBHI's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You might want to try making sandwiches out of waffles instead. I've found that my kids prefer this over the gluten-free bread! -

ARCHIVED Gf School Supplies
kbdy replied to tpineo's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Does anyone know about ink pads? My dd's teacher called to find out about them & has many different brands. I called one, Center Enterprises, & they said "well, if you're concerned about it, then don't use it" Hmmm, nice response I'm guessing they're not willing to actually look into it for me. I might just have to get a list from the teacher... -
Marecello & Sons is really good, especially the gluten-free pizza!

Thanks I've tried so hard to get this done & have been told that there was no interest or that summer fun was more important than this -

ARCHIVED How To Help Dd With The Pain When Glutened?
kbdy posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dd (5) got glutened today (we think from an ice cream shoppe). Now she's in a lot of pain & is just screaming & throwing up. Is there anything we can give her to help the pain in her tummy? This is a new symptom for her. Before she would only vomit for hours. Now the pain comes along w/the vomiting. What helps alleviate the pain w/o making it... -
I wish I knew how to get it out there more. I've tried all our local newspapers & not one is interested in doing an article about Celiac awareness. I'm really trying to get it out there b/c I've only heard of one other child in our area that has it. If someone has a magical answer, I'd love to hear it

We've gone to 2 different locations & only had issues with one of them. The first place explained that the manager handles all the gluten-free pizzas & will bring it out to the table personally as to ensure no cross contamination. It was excellent. Dd had it & loved it! She was so excited to actually eat restaurant food w/o having to bring...

kbdy replied to g1gg1e's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
We went to MedicAlert Open Original Shared Link I really feel a lot better with her having it on all the time. It never comes off & the reps there are very, very helpful. I highly recommend them! -
ARCHIVED What Happenes When You Are "glutened"?
kbdy replied to SLB5757's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My dd has been glutened a couple of times & within 15 min of eating it she is projectile vomiting for hours on end. The last time it was for about 8 hours & that was from eating about 1/4 of a muffin. She's miserable, poor thing. -
ARCHIVED Betty Crocker gluten-free Mixes
kbdy replied to purple's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We've made the brownies & they're pretty good! I was surprised at the 7 Tbs of butter that it needed but we managed to finish them off pretty quick! -
I'd love to find something. I have no idea on how to start one, but would be willing to help!

ARCHIVED Anyone From Chicago Northern Suburbs?

I have a dd who has celiac & we're in the far NW burbs. I think there might be one or two others here in the forum though. -
ARCHIVED Does Your Child Get Sick Often?
kbdy posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My dd was dx'd 2yrs ago & it seems that she's always ending up in the hospital for one reason or another. She's had 3 kidney infections (has reflux), whenever she gets sick she ends up so dehydrated that it requires at least an overnight hospital stay if not longer. She recently had rectal prolapse & has to go back to see the ped GI... Is this... -
I'm in the far NW burbs & have not found anything close by. There used to be one in Rockford, but I'm pretty sure it's now defunct. LMK if you find something, my dd would be so excited to find someone else that has celiac!
