    What are some good BBQ sauces to use? We love to bbq and last night we double checked some of our bbq sauces and couldn't tell if they were gluten-free. They ahd some iffy questionable ingredients and the place was closed so I couldn't call. so we decided to go for it since the product was made in the USA. Hopefully the ingredients were too! ...

    Cool /corney story about Boar's Head. Mybest friend was riding in the car and heard a Boar's head add and in the add they actually said they are gluten free. She got so excited because she knows my DD was just diagnosed so she called me as soon as the add was over from her car! LOL Of course Boars head is hard to find where I live but it was still cool...

    Hey if she isn't ready she isn't ready! You know her better than any one and you will do what is best for her! My son who isn't celiac just started K offically today bus ride and all. His last yr teacher said he wasn't ready on the last day of school mind you! She said academicly he was great but maturity he needed to develop esp since he was a summer...

    When my 5yr old had his tonsils out a few months ago they gave him the 'goofy juice' and it was great!!! He was a trip on it it made us laugh the whole time and lightened the mood before they took him in. We also had the numbing cream for the iv and it was great our dr even used theat when doing his allergy testing! With my DD's scope they gave her the...

    I am so sorry to hear the 1st 2 wks of kindergarten was so rough for your dd! Poor thing! My dd is almost a week into her new lifestyle of gluten-free and is doing great. She actually told me her tummy feels better which I think is helping her adjust to the new life better. If it makes you feel any better last yr when my dd was in1st grade they...

    Hi I am right next door in Woodstock! I was suprised to see McHenry in the thread title! There isn't much out here LOL I am very new to this Celiac thing my daughter was just officaly diagnosed last week. so i am not sure I would fit what you are looking for in a support group but i do wish you lots of luck with everything.

    what age group is the Emily book for. I looked at it online but it looks a bit young for my dd. She is 7 going on 37! We have been very homest with her about everything that is going on and she has been wonderful, I just don't want to make it too simple for her. It might be a great book to get for my 5 yr old to help understadn why his sister can't...

    Texas De Brazill said all their meets were gluten-free when I called last night. they told me that when I come in just to let my server know and the chef would come out and talk to us and tell us everything they had that was gluten-free. It is a bit price but my 7 yr old daughter (who is gluten-free) loves that place. Yes I know a 7 yr old who loves...

    Thanks! I figured I would at least try the lunches and even at worst case all she gets is the yogurt then that is fine she loves yogurt! LOL That i will also know is safe. We have already been talking about ideas for lunch for her and so far she is ok with it. I just know last yr she loved getting l;unch at school so I have to at least try you know...

    Thanks. It breaks my heart because she is only 7! She has only lost 6 teeth so maybe those baby teeth can hange on for a bit longer and we can heal the big teeth. When her allergist asked me if she had ever been tested for Celiac after I had her ttested for milk allergies and she was fine. I went home and read about Celiac and the yellow teeth for me...

    My 7 yr old was just diagnosed and she does have the loss of enamal in her teeth. Sad her brand new adult teeth are yellow from Celiac! It breaks me heart. Well the enamel come back in time as she heals?

    My DD is only 7 and she was just diagnosed she only showed symptoms once in awhile. She may have a bout here and there but nothing reg. I had seen little signs all her life and even said when she was a few months old that I bet she is going to be the kid with Ulcerative Colitic like my DH had. Well thankfully she didn't ahve that but she does have Celiac...

    thanks ALL! I think I will save that syru for the rest of us and go get my DD real syrup when we go shopping then once the Mrs Butterworths is gone we can all use the real stuff. We always liked the real stuff better but we were too cheap to buy it for every day syrup. LOL
  17. Nikki'smom
    What a great idea! Good luck! We are only 3 days into my dd's diagnosis and her bday isn't until November but I am already teary eyed about her bday cake! Does any one know any of these kinds of bakery in Chicago or the suburbs of Chicago?

    Yesterday i met with my Dd's school nurse to talk about al of this fun new gluten-free stuff and Celiac with her. She was WONDERFUL! She said this is the 1st time she has dealt with a Celiac child but said we can learn together! She brought in the head of the cafiteria and she was also great! She said she already put a call into her director to find a...

    Thank you so much for these lists! since we are in day 3 of gluten-free and planning on doing a big gluten-free food shoping today or tomorrow this is invaluable to me!

    Sorry about the distance for you. We live about an hour away for any Whole foods too. so I think we have decided to make the trek there at least once a month and just stick certain things in our deep freezer so they don't go bad. I know you said you didn't want to buy frozen stuff but fresh frozen by you personall;y I think is better then 'packaged...

    Thanks! I don't ahve a Kroger around me anymore but my family in GA does so now we know when we are visiting where to go! I wish Coastco (Kirkland brand) would do the same! I called them yesterday because we are HUGE Costco fans and they said they don't ahve a list and won't tell me any product they make that are gluten-free! They said they never know...

    Thanks every one! The dr called with the 'ofical offical ' results and the biopsy came back as we knew it would. Thakfully I prepared myself and the rest of my family including my dd so yesterday was pretty good for a start! ShayBraMon, I turely believe in a mother's intuition! Mom (and dad's have it there is no doubt! I went to her school...
