    I'm going to answer my own post! It turns out that "Westwood" was a typo. The correct name of the company is West-Ward and their Prednizone is indeed gluten-free. Also gluten-free is the brand Mutual, and lastly, as I stated in the previous post, also gluten-free is the brand Roxane. Cheers!~

    Hi there, I am trying to determine what manufacturers (if any) carry Prednizone that is gluten free. So far I have found that Roxane Laboratories certifies that its Prednizone is gluten-free, however, there is not a pharmacy in my area that carries it. Another pharmacy carries Westwood brand, but it contains sodium starch glycolate and the source is...

    Hi, My daughter wants to get modelling clay for Christmas - not the kids stuff like play dough. Does anyone know if there are any gluten ingredients added to professional modelling clay? Or are there so many different kinds that I'd have to call around? Are the ingredients always the same? Thanks~

    Good to know, thanks, b/c the manufacturer of the multi I used to take went out of business.
  5. Donna F
    Yeah, I haven't considered that enough (organic foods). I really ought to start doing that.

    I could definately add some variety to those things. I'm such a scheduled person - I like to have the same things every day, every week. Probably not healthy though. What is turmeric like? What do you use it on? I have to be careful about sugar b/c of my low-blood sugar problem. I pretty much avoid it aside from an occasional bit of fruit before...

    Mtndog, that is so true. I wish I had more time on my hands to do that. I miss convenience foods like canned soups and microwave meals. I need lots of protien too and I tend to eat a lot of lunchmeat, jerk and nuts between meals. Love tomato juice, but I think Campbells is not as good as V8. I get hungry between meals a lot (I have low-blood sugar issues...

    Hi everyone! Guess I've been away a while. Nice new look to the board! I'm just curious what kinds of supplements people take that may be beneficial for Celiacs. I only take Calcium and Vitamin C and occasionally I drink 8 oz of Aloe a day (when I can afford to get it...). Just curious what other people do. My main concern is with future possible...

    Looked for the Dora cereal this weekend and couldn't find it yetl. Haven't checked everywhere though. I won't try the Kix for the same reason I never have him the Gorilla Munch: Worried the little balls will get swallowed without being chewed. Amazon has the Dora cereal but I don't want to buy 12 without even trying 1. Btw, I did find confirmation...

    LOL! I see.. Well, glad I read it again
  11. Donna F
    OH! I didn't see that part. Never thought about soaking them. That might do it - thank you!!
  12. Donna F
    Yeah.... they are yummy and I like them better too! But not so good for baby....
  13. Donna F
    Ah ha. I do believe that is the first one I tried and they were just too hard for him. Cheerios break apart easily when you bite them. But thanks for the suggestion!
  14. Donna F
    Honey Kix? Like, regular (not specialty gluten-free) brand? It's gluten-free? Never tried it. and the Dora is gluten-free too? I had no idea there was anything gluten-free at the regular market. I need to come by here more often! Thanks! Now, neither of them are too crunch? They break up fairly easily?
  15. Donna F
    Hmmmm.... I thought I tried that one, but maybe not. It's not real cruchy? It has to break up easily like a real cheerio - he chokes easily.
  16. Donna F
    Hi everyone, I used to give my son Perky-Os unflavored cheerio-like cereal but it is discontinued at our store and maybe everywhere (can't get it through Amazon lately either). Anyone know of a good alternative for a baby? He's only 1 and has trouble with many of the gluten-free versions b/c they are too crunchy. Does anyone know of a brand that isn...

    I haven't read everyone's response here, but just wanted to tell you that I have 5 children and none of the have Celiac disease. In fact, no one in my family has ever had it either. But even if they did, my own personal experience with Celiac - having recovered so well and feeling great 99% of the time - I wouldn't hesitate to have children b/c they might...
  18. Donna F
    Will do! Thanks! I ran this by my mom today and said it sounded good, so - something different this year! Thanks4giving it to me

    How many pounds of turkey do you cook for that long? Does it matter? I'd like to try this, This is my first turkey and 1st Thanksgiving I've ever done.

    I am all about convenience right now, so no bowl-licking for me.... I forget there are overweight issues for some people with Celiac. I've always been so thin and attributed it to the Sprue, but even after more than 4 years on this diet I am still thin, so I guess the issue isn't gluten. Wish we could do an online transfer - I'd love to put on...

    So you haven't yet been blood-tested for Celiac? My symptoms were mainly neurological for many many years. Headache and fogginess were big symptoms for me. Years ago a doctor swore I had MS b/c of the symptoms I was experiencing: numbness, lack of coordination, weakness, pain, twitching, etc.. Then it started affecting my blood sugar. I was crashing...

    If you or a loved one live with a gluten-ivore (or eat in restaurants), wipe off the bottoms of the salt/pepper shakers before you shake them over your food! We keep the shakers on the table and just wipe around them. Inevitably some crumbs linger around them in the middle of the table. I supposed I just shouldn't do that, but I know many people who do...
  23. Donna F
    Awesome, thanks! I go to Walmart almost every week, so that'll work nicely too.
  24. Donna F
    Ok, I think I can find these at my grocery store. Thanks!
  25. Donna F
    Ah, and I imagine the 365 ones are probably a little less expensive (?) I'll have to stock up once a month. WF is quite a ways from here.
