    lately we have been buying the hersheys chocolate and just melting it in a double boiler and pouring it into the molds, because we are lazy I guess it is kinda fun to have chocolate that is shaped like flowers LOL

    I watched it once, they put bleach on cotton balls and then stuffed them into that little ledge thingy where your bathtub meets the tile to get rid of mold, I do that now, it works great.

    He can have hershey's bars, Mr. Goodbar's, Almond Joys, Mounds, and I believe Snickers, but you will want to check everything out first, just like you would everything else. My girls enjoy making our own candy, that way we know it's not cross contaminated and stuff, also we like making little chocolate shapes (roses, butterflies, ect.) I am thinking your...

    I am going to say 6 months, since like nini said it could take you a while to get all the bugs out of eating gluten free. You could tell a difference sooner, but stay on it for at least 6 months just in case you are a slow healer.

    awesome tips Robbin! some I found out today........(yeah I had a rough day) rubbing alchohol takes sharpie marker off walls if your dog stinks you can wipe him down with a dryer sheet and he won't smell so bad ( not that he smells good, but I can bathe him tomorrow LOL) hairspray can stop a run in your pantyhose if you can't find clear...

    after talking to my husband he reminded me that I did have some pain the day after from the gas bubbles re-absorbing, I don't remember it, but he said that I put a heating pad on my tummy for a while and it was better. I do know that the day of, I slept a lot. I didn't need the pain pills they sent home, though.

    I had mine removed last June. It had just quit working for no reason whatsoever. I had the lapriscopic surgery done, I got to go home the same day and the next day I was back to normal activity. It didn't hurt too bad. *although I should mention that when I had my c-sections I was back to normal activity minus heavy lifting like the same day, so my...

    it really is true. My husband and I were talking the other day about how people are unhealthy and overweight and depressed all the time now, and most of them eat gluten for breakfast lunch and dinner. You can tell when my girls get glutened, the first thing that happens to them is emotional symptoms, they are like different kids all together.

    My youngest was diagnosed at 12 months, she could eat a lot of the jarred Gerber baby foods, she enjoyed rice cereal, and Mi-Del animal crackers. Also she ate mashed potatoes, apple sauce, yogurt, and bananas. Amy's makes some really good gluten free microwave mac and cheese.

    It has occured to me recently that there are a lot of pretty intelligent people on here. I thought maybe everyone could share a hint or two that may make someone else's life a little easier. me first * in addition to your emergency kit in the car (you know the one with bottled water, jumper cables, a blanket, ect.) every woman should have an...

    I like to bake a dozen or so cupcakes and freeze them (individually) then if a friend's b-day sneeks up on us we have a serving of gluten-free cake ready and then we just frost it that day, the girls like to pick out what color they use (food coloring) I will try that recipe thanks. Oh, we use Miss Roben's cake mix, people not on the gluten-free diet...

    I am going to have to go with diabetes too, you should have them do a glucose test (they aren't that bad, drink some stuff check blood sugar, wait an hour, check blood sugar, eat lunch, check blood sugar) I read somewhere that celiac disease and type 1 diabetes are related or something like that, like if you have celiac you are more likely to get diabetes...

    wow, thanks. I didn't know about the bandaids, looks like I am going to have to pay attention next time we buy some instead of get what's cheapest (don't worry we have bandaid brand now)

    I know that the ink my daughter's AWANA group uses for handstamps has gluten in it. I hear that stickers are okay, but like if they have the lick and stick kind you need to check them out, oh and also maybe crayons and markers.

    I was thinking of making the girls some puffed rice marshmallow treats, does anyone think they would freeze well? My first inclination is "no", but maybe I am wrong.............

    When my 2 year old was new to the diet, I took her out to eat, I made sure everything on her plate was gluten free, real eggs, fresh fruit, cottage cheese........I forgot to check her chocolate milk though, she was halfway through the second glass when my husband picked up the little carton to look at it, and in bold letters it said MALT, I felt so bad
  19. Smunkeemom
    hey, I have asked some really really dumb questions on here before, your question actually made sense and was something that it made sense to be worried about, don't feel bad. I still don't feel bad when I ask crazy celiac questions, you gotta learn somehow, and where else would I ask?

    My girls eat the nut-thins with meat and cheese (kinda like lunchables) and then the Ener-G crackers either plain or with peanut butter. I use the Ener-G in cooking too and they work fine for meatloafs and also like in soups and chili. They are unsalted though.

    Below are companys that won't hide wheat in thier items, if it says modified food starch it will say WHEAT after it if it's got wheat in it. Not all of thier items are gluten free, but it's easier to check these. Aunt Nellys Balance Baskin Robbins Ben&Jerry Betty Crocker Blue Bunny Breyers Campbells Cascadian Farms Celestial Seasonings...

    vans gluten free waffles (give them to the kid frozen and let them gum it ) also there are gluten free animal crackers (I can't remember the brand) but they get all gooey too since they are arrowroot, they work well for gumming.

    I have never heard of diapers having gluten in them. Baby wipes have the ingredients on the tub, I haven't found any with gluten yet, and I switch brands often.

    I homeschool my children, mostly because I don't like the schools in the area, but the fact that they weren't sticking to the gluten free diet was just the icing on the gluten free cake....LOL you can PM me if you have any questions. I have a lot of friends who homeschool, we belong to a co-op, and a few other "social groups". I personally am unschooling...

    At church there is the rule of "Don't feed Joey's kids anything!" which the more regular teachers interpret as anything unless I brought it for them, but the sub.s just read "don't feed anything" and it keeps my kids out of a lot of trouble. My 2 year old has been gluten free since May of 2004, so she pretty much has the diet down pat, she will tell you...
