    My daughter has been eating it without any problems. (And I like it to even though I don't have celiac) I'm hoping they come out with gluten-free Corn Chex.

    Thank you Fiddle-Faddle! Do you use your old recipes (from before you went gluten free) or do you use gluten free recipes and just sub this flour for the flour and xanthan/guar gum? Thanks again!

    Has anyone been using Better Batter flour? I saw a few posts about it in March, mostly people who had just started using it. How do you like it? Anything you made that you really liked? Anything that didn't turn out like you hoped? How much do you go through...do you suggest starting with a small box to try it, or is it so great, that it makes sense to...

    I love Pamela's pancake mix, but it contains almond meal, and I'd like to find one without nuts. DD 2.5 has celiac, and she does fine with nuts, but our 6 month old will be eating table food in few months, and I don't want to give him anything with nuts for 2-3 years. He doesn't have celiac, but it would just be easier to use something the whole family can...

    My 2.5 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac (by endoscopy, never had DH) about 2 months ago. She's been gluten free since and hasn't had any problems. This afternoon she broke out with a dark pink/red, itchy symmetrical rash on her arms, knees, thighs, and groin areas. She was crying in what seemed like pain, but could have been really bad itching It...

    They don't have a list, but more and more of the products sold at Costco are labeled gluten free. If things aren't labeled gluten free, you can email Costco with the product name and number, and they will check to see if it's gluten free. Here are some items that are gluten free at Costco: Kirkland rotissiere chicken, Kirkland "shortcuts" chicken, Kirkland...

    I'd like to take some food in a cooler aboard the plane for my DD, some for the day of travel, and some for our destination. Do you think I'll be ok to take a pack of cheese slices (about 16 Kraft singles), 10 string cheeses, Perdue shortcuts, and some deli meat through security? I guess I'm most concerned about the cheese since it's most like a "gel" which...

    DD will eat raisins, but no other dried fruit or any nuts...she's still pretty picky, especialy with different textures, but has gotten much better since starting the gluten-free diet. She does like pretzels, raisins, and Chex (used to use use Health Valley, can use General Mills now--yeah!), so can take a trail mix out of those. Thanks so much for all...

    What is the best way to keep things in a cooler cold while flying? I'd like to take sliced cheese, chicken, and deli meats for our 2.5 y.o daughter her to eat the day we travel, as well as extra to have for the rest of our vacation. We bought a Polar Bear cooler--I read on this site that they're great. She doesn't like power bars, peanut butter, so those...

    I keep my flours in quart or gallon ziploc bags in our extra refrigerator. I label them with the date and type of flour. It's inexpensive and saves space. I keep the ziploc bags of flour in a grocery bag so I can grab everything at once if I'm baking.

    Mt 2.5 year old daughter has celiac, so I'd like to make sure my cosmetics are gluten free because I know I touch my face throughout the day. Also wondering about nail polish. I'm hoping to find inexpensive brands that I can find at Target or a drug store. I already switched to a gluten free Burt's lipstick. I currently use: Cover Girl foundation and...

    I bought a box of Milled Flax Seed by Hodgson Mill about 1-2 months ago, but haven't gotten around to using it. Since then I've seen a few threads recommending to grind your own meal, or to be sure it's a fresh box. It looks like the expiration date on the box is 5/2/09, and it says to refrigerate after opening. It's from our regular grocery store, so I...

    What is modified tapioca starch, and how is it different from regular tapioca starch (or regular tapioca flour, which I understand are the same)? Thank you!

    Has anyone had any luck freezing prepared frosting, either bought or homemade? I just need a little bit once in a while to send in a cupcake for my daughter (preschool), and we never seem to finish the whole container. Does it freeze well? I freeze unfrosted cupcakes, and then frost them after thawing. Thanks in advance!

    We just made the recipe Cheri mentioned...Carol Fenster's recipe (minus the Italian seasonings)--very easy and pretty tasty!

    Eggo brand is gluten-free, I called the company a few weeks ago to confirm. Safeway, Acme/Albertson's, and Wegmans are all gluten free as well. Wegmans is labeled as gluten-free, Safeway and Acme are listed on their gluten-free product list.

    Does anyone know if this is gluten free? The ingredients list natural flavors. Thanks!

    We are going to Disney, and they allow you to take food for dietary/allergy reasons. I know Disney is good with preparing meals for people with dietary restrictions, but my daughter eats a limited variety of food (she's 2.5), and only very small portions at a time, but pretty frequently. We just started the gluten-free diet 4 weeks ago, so we'd prefer to...

    Any good suggestions for keeping some of my daughter's food cold while touring all day during the summer? We're going to Florida, will be out all day some days in theme parks where we will mainly need to rely on bringing food for her (she's also picky, so we plan to take yogurt, cheese, deli ham, etc). We can't carry anything too big since we'll be in theme...

    Cheerios also contain wheat starch.
  21. stolly
    Cheerios definitely have gluten. I'm sorry you were misinformed. This website is a great resourse. My DD has been gluten free for 4 weeks, and it gets easier every day. You have to read every label...she can't have wheat, rye, barley, or oats (although that is debated by some, but we don't allow oats for now, and might only consider products labeled as...

    Thank you for your tips! Did you use a 8x4 or 9x5 loaf pan??
  23. stolly
    Pamela's was my second attempt at making bread from a mix. First was Gluten Free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread...flavor of GFP was ok, a little metalic or an aftertaste, but the look and texture were great. I used a 9x5 silicon loaf pan and it expanded...the loaf was HUGE. Now for the Pamela's mix...I baked it in the oven (not a bread machine)....

    For non-celiac parents of celiac kids, how do you avoid CC from your own food when eating out? For example, if you're eating a hamburger or a roll or something, and your toddler needs help with his/her food or needs hands wiped? At home it's easy, we just get up and wash our hands several times during the meal if/when we eat things with gluten at the same...

    We're heading to Florida (Disney, yeah!) next month and want to buy gluten free sunscreen for all of us. I just don't want to risk getting my DD sick if we have a trace of it left on our hands when we're getting her snacks or anything throughout the day. Any recommendations of gluten free brands/types of sunscreen for kids or adults? Thanks!
