    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I tried making it with some store bought rice bread (yuck). The texture just wasn't the same. Can't wait to try using the waffles now.

    I guess I have the same question. My kid's father says he has found info that the tests are invalid for children and want to have a biospy done. I tested negative for both the biospy and bloodwork but was found to have the celiac genes through enterolabs. My one child's test has shown the celiac genes and the other gluten intolerance. All of us have responded...

    Does anyone know if their mashed potatoes still contain wheat (refridgerator)? My girls came home on Monday from their other home and haven't felt right since. My youngest asked about the Bob Evans and I can't find anything else on-line.

    Right there with you. We won't be using it in our house anymore. I'm getting so tired of playing Russian Roulette with food and meds. Try to be so carefu, but....

    So sorry you are going through this. It definitely sounds like the playground to me. I teach kinder and have celiac myself. This year we took snacktime out of the day which helps. No playdoh (unless I make it) and same with the pasta stuff. As careful as I am, I've used my anti-spasmadic med more times than I should have this year and spent many days itching...

    I spoke with someone from Nasonex today. What they told me is that they don't add any gluten and the ingredients they use don't contain gluten. That being said.... the ingredients come from other places and they have no guarantee of cross contamination from those sources. So they won't state that their products are gluten free. Most likely you won't get a...

    I use La Choy Soy sauce. It's made with water, salt, hydrolyzed soy proteing, corn syrup, caramel color, and potassium sorbate. I've never had an issue with it.

    We got stopped last night coming back from Florida in Tampa. Had a lunch bag with 3 ice packs, applesauce, carrots, and mixed fruit cups. Security took 2 of the ice packs because the stuff in them is toxic? I guess he didn't see the 3rd one. We didn't get stopped on the way down with them though. Kinda funny how things are different from airport to airport...

    I'm sure this has been a topic before but had to give Kudos to Disney myself. We just got back from Fl and what a great trip. As my girls stated the best trip ever and they never had to worry about their food. The restaurants on the property were wonderful and the chefs always came out to meet us and gave us plenty of options. I am a veggie and even had options...

    DH and I were driving home from church today and looking at all the hay rolls. Made me wonder how safe hay rides are. Is this something my girls and I should avoid?

    Thanks for the suggestions. We'll try 1/2 the capsule, I was giving her a full one the last day or so, but she's been complaining of stomach cramps. Hard part is she's 12 and has anxiety. I can't tell if she's eaten something she shouldn't have, if it's the anxiety, or if it's hormones. We'll try the fish oil capsules as well. I'm vegetarian, but she loves...

    Just got my daughter's results back from Enterolab and it's official. With the fecal fat score being elevated, should I have her take digestive enzymes and probiotics like I do to help with the absorbtion. Our house is completely gluten free and she hasn't had anything (that I know of) since April minus one slip up. She's quite disappointed with the confirmation...

    I'm sure you can get too paranoid and I'm probably one of those people That being said my little kindergarteners got me good with the playdoh. I thought for sure I'd be fine with them playing with it in the classroom and not going near it myself. Learned my lesson after 2 days of itching and another of D and migrains. I guess I didn't think about the fact...

    Right there with you on the nerves. We are going to Disney in August with my parents and though there plenty of options in Disney, I still get nervous about traveling. Since you have a kitchen that will help bunches. I start most days out with Brown Rice Cream cereal. I add a bit of cinnamon and sugar for my sweet tooth. You could bring a blender and make...

    I'm O+ but am a vegetarian. Never handled meat well and now it just grosses me out. Of course I haven't had it since I gave up gluten, but I sure do enjoy my veggies! Not sure about my girls blood type, the older one loves meat and the younger could care less. Interesting theory.

    I would still completely avoid any wheat. Have you tried adding ground flax seed to your diet, I have some everyday in my rice cereal and it makes all the difference. Cranberry juice and other fruits help as well.

    I would definitely go off the gluten. Over a year 1/2 ago I tested negative both through the biopsy and the blood test. Tried other diets, even going Vegan for awhile. Ended up having my gallbladder out and then I tested positive for gluten intolerance through a stool test. Now when I get just the slightest bit of gluten I start itching all over and a few...

    I've had similar issues with my girls. Neither one is happy with the diet and one daughter has been positively diagnosed with gluten intolerance through enterolab. They are following the diet when they are with me and claim they don't see a difference. The one has had stomach aches daily for years and severe constipation while the other has a rash that just...

    So glad you all posted something. I've had horrible cramps for years, they thought endo, but never found any cause. Would take 3-4 darvocet a day for them. Over the past few years the periods got much heavier as well. My gyno put me on Prozac last summer for the PMS/PMDD. I've been on 4 different pills including NuvaRing and now Lybrel to end the periods...

    Had my daughter at the allergy dr. today to get food testing done. She's had a mysterious rash on her privates for almost a year now. I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance in December and she was about a month ago. The rash still isn't clearing up, but hoping it will with the diet changes. We've tried several creams. The doctor said I should get her biopsied...

    When it comes to my classroom I do have a choice as to whether food treats need to be involved or not. For birthdays, my students can bring in a non-food treat to give to their friends if the parents choose to do so. Simple enough to do-pencils, stickers, etc. I had a parent send in food once, and I sent it back home. I have found several ways to make...
