    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    We use Bob's Red Mill Chocolate Cake mix, it makes a great chocolate cake. We also have Kinniknick (sp?) white chocolate cake mix that's gluten free, but it is much more labor intensive.

    I'm somewhat stuck when it comes to lunches as well. My son just started going to preschool part time Tuesdays & Thursdays from 8-12:30. He has a snack time and lunch time. So far for snacks I've packed gluten free pretzels from Glutino or I'll do a cheese stick or Gogurt. For lunch I pack salami or diced turkey keilbasa, almond nut thin crackers...

    Yes I can't agree with you more, doctors everywhere need more education regarding Celiac Disease. We went through several doctors before finally finding a ped that recommended a specialist three hours away. We went from a local doctor to the pediatrician an hour away and then at the ped's office we headed 3 hours away to Boise Idaho to see a ped gastreoentonologist...

    Here are a few pictures of my son when he was really sick. This was before he was admitted to the hospital. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v172/sar...C-man_fixed.webp http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v172/sar...ss26/Outtie.webp http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v172/sar...ss26/Carter.webp http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v172/sar...skinny_baby...

    Wow! That was a lot of useful information and really pieaks my interest into the genetic testing. My son has Celiac's but my daughter has never been tested. We assume since my grandfather was diagnosed as being a Celiac at the age of 80 yrs old that the gene comes from my side of the family. Can you share the costs of genetic testing? Do you have to give...

    Thank you all for the information on McD's. I saw the link that was posted and was really afriad once I saw the beef stock had wheat! I always feel like I'm being duped when I see things like that after I've been told it's gluten free. I don't want to poison my child. I guess it is a judgement call, I don't know what to do at this point. I'll have to do some...

    Do you have any pictures to share? I'd like to try this project with my two kids. Thanks for the idea.

    I have a question regarding McDonald's I thought they were ok as long as you steer clear of the bread. My son has a plain hamburger patty with nothing on it. Our local McDonald's doesn't use oil containing gluten so he has been ok eating the french fries. My son has a very low tolerance to gluten, he almost died at 16 months of age from celiac disease...

    Julie I can totally relate what you're going through. When my son was released from the hospital at 16 months of age, we had to come home and throw out everything from our cupboards and fridge. It was totally overwhelming and I had no idea what to feed my son. My son is now 3 yrs old and we love the following products: 1. Tinkyada pasta. We order this...

    Oh man I hate to even remember the gluten poops my son used to have. It got to the point where he couldn't even control his bowel movements at 16 months of age. He would have explosive diarrhea and it was bright yellow curdled looking and so foul! It was horrible and smelly. It smelled like rotten eggs and I guess that's typical with gluten poos. What it...

    My son at 3 years of age knows that he can only eat certain things. When people give him food items he is sure to ask "is it gluten free?" or "does it have gluten?". It's actually great to see that he knows or understands that he can not eat certain foods containing gluten or they will make him sick. He has been asking these sort of questions since he was...

    I just wanted to share with you that my son had an endoscopy done to get a diagnosis of Celiac Disease. He was only 16 months old. I was very afraid and thought the surery was invasive but when it comes down to it, Carter was "knocked" out with anesthesia and he was given versaid through an i.v. so he wouldn't be agitated before going into surgery. This put...

    Laura, I just wanted to thank you for your email. It is nice to know that there are other parents out there dealing with celiac disease and food allergies on a daily basis. In April of this year we took Carter to see his specialist and he was amazed at the progress he's made. The doctor ordered a food allergy test to be run on his blood and also ordered...

    Thank you all for the warm welcome. We actually order a lot of our food through amazon .com, they carry the kinnikinnick chocolate chip cookies. We occassionally order directly through Kinnikinnick or go through www.glutensolutions.com. As far as getting the rest of the family tested, we have not done that yet. At some point we want to do that. I tend...

    Hi, I'm new to Celiac.com but not to Celiac's Disease. This is our story of how we became aware of Celiac's Disease. **Warning this is going to be a novel** I'm a stay at home mom to a 9yr old and 3yr old. My daughter's name is Lauren and my son's is Carter. Carter's start to life was a rough one. At around 3 wks old I knew something wasn't right and took...
