    I have come across an iPhone/iPod app called Celiac Feed. It's based on user contributions which can detect your location and then suggest restaurants and stores which provide gluten free options. Please consider loading it (it's FREE!) and adding the places you trust near your home. It's very easy to make recommendations, just type in the name of place and...

    You learn from the mistakes and get reminded occasionally about why it's so important! We've all been there!

    Several of my friends told me that the lastest edition of Parents magazine has an article about Celiac disease called, "When Bread is the Enemy". Check it out! Good to get the word out so more people understand!

    Thanks to everyone who has offered their opinion, experiences and ideas. Just to clarify a few things....When we took E to class, we always brought an appropriate snack for her and we would remind the child care worker (annoyingly every time) that she has food "allergies" and that there was a safe snack in her bag. The two specific incidents that occured...

    My nearly 3 year old daughter, E, has Celiac like me. We are also Casein intolerant. Thankfully, we are doing so much better since our diet change. I was super sick with a laundry list of symptoms, multiple vitamin defs, and Sjogren's to boot. My DD's growth was stunted and she has since been catching up. Anyway, my issue is with the children's ministry...

    https://www.icee.com/faqs/ The Minute Maid flavors and Coca Cola product flavors are gluten free according to the above link. Answered my own question after continued search online.

    We are gluten-free/cf. So, no store bought ice cream this summer. We try to be as healthy and organic as possible, but sometimes you gotta cheat, especially when you are away from home and can't make something. Does anyone know if the Cherry (and Coke) Icee you often see at convenience stores, baseball games, etc is gluten and casein free? I would figure...

    I hope everyone had a wonderful Gluten Free Memorial Day. I know we did. My husband and I cooked a yummy brisket, pinto beans and I made some fried okra with organic gluten free corn meal. Oh, and don't forget my homemade strawberry lemonade and my lime coconut custard pie (casein free and soy free too!). Boy, did we eat good! Who needs hamburgers and...

    Recently, I was at Saltgrass. Won't go into the whole story, but when I told the waiter I needed to eat gluten and dairy (casein) free, he gave me a blank look. I then said, should I talk to the manager? He said, "No, we don't serve gluten here." At that very second I looked immediately over at the BEER BREAD he had just brought to the table for the rest...

    Ok, so my 2 yr old daughter and I are gluten and casein free. Gluten free since October, casein free just recently. Our home is 100% gluten free, thus my husband eats mostly gluten free except for some stuff outside the home at work, etc. Well, he's just recently started having some health issues. Actually, I've been thinking for a while that something...

    I just wanted to share this link about the new coconut milk ice cream coming onto the market soon. Here's the link below. FYI - all 5 flavors are gluten and dairy free. Some are soy free too. Supposed to be available at Whole Foods starting in June. Open Original Shared Link TGrand

    I'll answer my own question by sharing that the plain chicken breasts and chicken tenders are are gluten, casein and soy free. Note: This does not include the breaded nuggets which I saw today at Whole Foods.

    Only Dannon's Plain Yogurt is gluten free. Yoplait and Brown Cow are two gluten free brands, as long as you get the ones without granola or grains added - read the label. I also recently heard that Stoneyfield Farm's yogurt is now gluten free.

    Hey guys, Does anyone know if Nature's Rancher frozen chicken breasts are gluten and casein free? I'm sorta assuming they are casein free, but thought that perhaps you could inject the chicken with a solution containing gluten. I bought a bag of their frozen chicken breasts at Whole Foods last week. The bag only has an address with no phone number or...

    ARCHIVED Helpful Tips?

    tgrand replied to tgrand's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    No Costco nearby. I'm not really sure why as we have everything else! I could drive into Houston when I go to Whole Foods, I suppose! Thanks to everyone for the tips! I so appreciate you taking the time. What would we do without this forum and the internet? How did people survive back in the day with out this form of connection and all these great...

    This is a nice hand out from GIG called Understanding Your Student. Open Original Shared Link My daughter is 2 and has been gluten-free since Oct. I have the teachers wash all the kids hands after snack and lunch. Play-Doh has not been a problem yet b/c this particular teacher doesn't like dealing with it, but they may play with it more in the 3 year...

    Ok, so I have been gluten-free since Oct. Doing well on the diet, very motivated to NOT cheat. Found a great new doc in Jan who did blood work and determined that I have Iron, Vit B 12, Vit D deficiencies as well as osteopenia and Sjogren's Syndrome. Needless to say, due to my vitamin levels, I'm still dealing with fatigue sometimes. Thankfully, my doctor...

    We have a gluten free home. My 2 year old daughter and I have a sensitivity to gluten. My husband does not. Thankfully, he offered to support us by being gluten free at home. He is welcome to eat sandwiches and pizza out, but we do not have any gluten in the house at all - ever. It doesn't seem to bother him much. We eat well gluten free and he likes...

    Hey guys, My daughter is gluten free and her class mate at Mother's Day Out is Egg Free and Peanut Free. The rest of the kids are "normal".

They are having a Valentine's party for her 2 year old class soon and her teacher asked me to try to find...

    Thanks for your post. I appreciate you taking the time! Yeah, I know gluten-free food is expensive. Believe me. I told them that from the beginning, but they insisted. I offered to pay them for what they have bought and also to buy what remains, but they are making a thing of it. Our plan all along was to just buy and prepare our own food. They...

    Ok, been gluten-free since Oct 18th. Doing great. Husband is totally supportive and we have a total gluten-free house. It's my husband's dad and step mom! We've ALWAYS had problems with her. They just don't listen and are so difficult to communicate with. She's controlling, an alcoholic and directs everything her way. . Well, we are going to visit...

    Welcome to the club! I have been gluten free for just over two weeks. I also recently read "The Gluten Connection". Over the last 9 months I have been dealing with Sjogren's Syndrome (an autoimmune disorder), plus I have ostepenia. My main symptoms were extreme fatigue, joint pain and stiffness, muscle pain and aches and some other random things. Within...

    Hey guys, I have been gluten free for almost two weeks and feeling great. I was wondering if anyone could point me to any info or articles online that I can give to my family. The holidays are coming up and I'm pretty anxious about traveling. I don't think my family really gets the whole cross contamination thing. Does a little gluten really do that...

    I'm a newbie, just dx via Enterolab. I'm making the transition fine, except for not knowing how far to go with decontaminating my kitchen. We bought many new things, except not new dishes or pots and pans. Do I truly need new pots and pans? What about my old plates, bowls. etc? I want to do this right, but don't want to go overboard as it's causing financial...
