    Sounds like gluten to me. I feel for you. Gentle foods, lots of water, and unfortunately wait it out. So sorry.

    Squirmingitch, it actually does add up. Yes, the PPM will still be below the limit, but the amount of gluten you consume will accumulate. However, just because something is less than 20 PPM, it does not necessarily contain any gluten. 0 is less than 20. The test just tests for less than 20. There are also tests that test for under 5 PPM.

    Great response Shadowicewolf! And yes...the toaster must go!

    Five years ago this Christmas. Thankfully, I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility. That flexibility has enabled me to have the time to make breads, baked treats, from scratch dinners, etc. I used to hate cooking and didn't know a thing about my kitchen. Now it's my favorite place to be! I love experimenting and making gluten-free work. This...

    Oh there are soooo many yummy gluten free foods! And gluten-free baked goods can be especially yummy. I highly recommend getting the book "The Cake Doctor Bakes Gluten Free." It has lots of easy and delicious recipes. My son's classmates BEG me to make things from this book - and none of them have celiac! Then make a couple of the recipes and freeze...

    Thanks for the help!! He decided he would use the "hidden speck", plus facts on 20 parts per million and explain it to her again - and then invite her over to bake with me. I see her on Wednesdays, so I'll re-invite her. She and I get along really well, so hopefully she'll feel comfortable enough to come over. Marilyn, I told him about your compliment...

    Ooo, I like the word "hidden" that sounds so much better than "accident" or "mistake." It's so ironic...while my husband and I were waiting to go in and pick him up from the party we were discussing how difficult the dating years are going to be. We had just been out on "date" ourselves and were watching the young couples and it got us thinking. We had...

    My son (13) had a classmate who invited him to a party this weekend and then made him gluten-free cupcakes so he wouldn't feel left out. It was very awkward because she is also 13 and he was nervous about if she knew what she was doing and if there was an cross contamination, so he didn't eat them. He felt terrible, but he didn't want to risk it. I tried...

    My son and I have volunteered at a shetler for a couple years now and not had any problems. He just washes his hands before we leave. He give treats to the dogs all the time, he's just careful. As for "kisses", you wouldn't want to do that with shelter dogs anyway...you just don't know their temperment enough to risk a facial bite. That is what I worry...

    If you're in downtown Seattle, on the lowest level of Pike Place Market there is a new bakery that opened this past summer. It is totally gluten free and very delicious. They have things like cinnamon rolls, pizzelle cookies, monkey bread, and bagettes. She even offers lunch sandwiches like French Dips. Excellent customer service - very nice owner. Highly...

    There are also MANY brands of specialty gluten-free cereals. They are more expensive than traditional cereal, but they come in several different varieties. You can get them cheaper by buying them in bulk (usually 6 boxes at a time) from amazon once you know which kinds you like. On the milk issue...I agree - if it isn't bothering you, don't get rid of...

    A new company named Goodbye Gluten just sent our support group some samples. They are going to give Udi's and Rudi's a run for their money in my opinion. It is the closest thing to gluten bread I've found. Very soft and great texture. Great for sandwiches straight from the bag. Can't wait till it hits our grocery shelves!

    We LOVE this dip/salsa/whatever you want to call it. You could use something other than tomatoes - onions, celery, maybe mushrooms, carrots, depends on your tastes... Equal amounts of chopped veggies -Cucumber -Bell pepper (I use orange or yellow) -Tomato (sub whatever alternative veggie you like) Shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese (combined...

    I swear by the cake cookbook, "The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten Free" by Anne Byrn. I just use Betty Crocker mixes with her recipes. I've yet to have anyone not LOVE the results. My son's friends all beg me to make the cookies and cream one. In fact, he took those to school and none of the kids could believe they were gluten free. We have family members...

    My son was having stomach issues this past spring and after reading posts on here I started to suspect the cinnamon chex where CC with gluten. So much so that I bought the ELISA test strips and kept the box he was eating from. They checked out A-OK!! It turned out to be gastritis that was irritated by certain foods, one of which was the cinnamon chex....

    Gluten absolutely cannot enter your bloodstream through cuts. You MUST ingest it through your digestive system. The only harm would be through touching the cream and then getting it in your mouth, and in my personal opinion, you would have to be eating a lot of it unless it contained a very large amount of gluten (say a paste made from wheat flour and water...

    I've used this recipe to make into dinner rolls: Open Original Shared Link Gravy is easy. Just add a slurry of corn starch and water to turkey juice/drippings. I collect "ends" (heels and last slice or two when we aren't going to eat it before it looses its freshness) of bread throughout the year, cube and freeze them and then use them for stuffing...

    Not pie or oyster recipes, but favorites for us: I promise, NO ONE will know this is gluten free bread: Open Original Shared Link I have gotten so many comments from people about this bread. I've even turned it into cinnamon raisin. PB cookies (again, NO ONE will know they are gluten-free): Easiest Peanut Butter Cookies 1 C. peanut butter 1 C...

    Not what you asked for, but maybe helpful anyway... We eat a lot of crustless pumpkin pies because we like pumpkin pie so much. You just make the regular old Libby's pie recipe and pour it into a pie pan to bake as usual. Once cooled (at least mostly cooled) the pieces come out just like they would with a crust. I'm the only one who likes crust in our...

    We're on our 4th year with Celiac and don't have a 504. I've found teachers to be really helpful and understanding. They sometimes forget things, but for the most part they try really hard. I wouldn't fuss about a microwave or fridge. Kids bring their lunches every single day without them. I'd try the relaxed approach first and go for a 504 if you run...

    I make these every Christmas (and Easter and Mother's Day and, and, and). I make them Christmas Eve (late afternoon) and then just leave dough in fridge until Christmas morning. Bake while opening presents. They are fabulous and really easy once you get past the detailed instructions! INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons butter (or shortening) 1/4 cup sugar ...
