    If the child has Celiac or gluten intolerance then the testing the school does is not going to help the child one bit. They will recommend the child see a doctor for ADD medication. The doctor will prescribe it and it's possible that all of his issues will go away, for now at least. However, the damage will continue to be done to his system and it will...

    Why corn free? I've heard issues with high fructose corn syrup but not with corn it's self. Try this link Open Original Shared Link I ran across it on Twitter last night. I think it's important to not just throw everything and the kitchen sink at the child because you'll never know for sure what actually helped and what didn't.

    I agree with a food journal. I didn't know what to buy and wished someone would tell me what to buy for my husband. I found out just because a bunch of people like doesn't mean we will like it. Before buying in bulk make sure the savings are worth it. I was going to start buying my flours online in bulk until I figured out that I was only saving $2...

    I bought the clan Thomas for my computer and for my smart phone. The computer version let me look up not only brands, types, but all ingredients which let me rule out what I already had and become familiar with good things and bad things. Now I have a set list of brands for the things I buy all the time.

    In larger schools it would work I am sure. I work in a district with one teacher per grade level usually. The majority of teachers have no issues with 504s or any other paperwork for the kids. We have had a couple that just don't want to sway or change anything for anyone. "This is the way I've done it for twenty years and that's the way I'm going to...

    I can answer this question probably from a different angle then some here. My husband is the celiac here but I work in the school system where 504's, IEPs, ect are part of my job. I'm all for having a 504 plan for Celiac children, though we have yet to have one in my tiny district. But this may be because I understand what Celiac really is. It isn't...

    The Hy-Vee's in Kansas have the same. There is also a brochure on one of the end caps with each isle broken down with what is gluten-free of their brand products and usually a three ring binder of national brands. If they don't carry something ask them about it.

    Their kidney beans now carry the same warning. After making chili hubby had that same feeling just not right but not full blow gluten attack either. More of my money will be going to Hy-Vee now.

    I failed at gluten free baking too until I made this Open Original Shared Link they turn out like regular

    We eat Hershey's chocolate syrup all the time and have never had a problem with it.

    I've never had an issue with their lipstick. When I wore Avon lipstick hubby would have gluten attacks, when I switched to Arbonne, he hasn't had one since.

    I'm sorry I got my percentage rate confused, but it felt like he was diminishing the amount of people that are truly effected by gluten. I'm not gluten-free don't plan on becoming gluten-free. My husband is though and I've seen the suffering that he has gone through and the way people look at him funny when he explains it. Like he is talking in a foreign...

    It gave false stats, more than .75 percent are affected, that is more likely the amount that have been diagnosed. The comments to the article just show what this type of article can do to the gluten-free community.

    Open Original Shared Link They are doing an online event today discussing this very issue. They may be able to help you even more.

    My best friend is non-Caucasian and has Celiac. At one time there was a belief that only certain Caucasians could/would get it. I have not seen that kind of information in a very long time though.

    Can I ask why they put you on the medication? Your symptoms and the medication do not go hand in hand. I know the medication very well and yes it is 100% possible that they would/could put you in the hospital to make sure you take it. It's a safety measure. Also depending on what state you live in, you are still a minor meaning that your parents would...

    I'm not a New Yorker but mozzarellis nyc tweets their gluten free food everyday on Twitter. @mozzarellis is their Twitter name.

    I use either Rachael Ray or Kitchen Basics chicken stock, both are clearly labeled gluten free.

    The Clan Thomas has taken Pace off of their gluten-free list. So we no longer eat it.

    I find Xanthan Gum to be a must. My grocery store carries it, Hy-Vee, it runs about 8 dollars and if you put it in the fridge it will last a long time. Red Star yeast is fine, if you look on the package it states it is gluten-free. Some yeasts have grains added to them. Red Star is what I've always used but check your package if you have a different brand...

    I use a stand mixer with the exception of some mixes that aren't big enough to put in the stand. I have the biggest Kitchenaid that they make, I'm sure a smaller one would be fine for most people though. For those few things I use a cheapy hand mixer so when it burns up I can just replace it.

    We regularly eat at the Hu-Hot in Topeka, KS. My husband is Celiac and has never had an issue, my father-in-law is vegan and never had any issues either. They clean the grill as well as any other restaurant. The place that they cook their food on is spotless, they each get dedicated cooking utensils and are offered to have fresh sauces brought out just...

    My FIL is a vegitarian and my hubby is a celiac so I always make dishes for the two of them when we do family dinners. That way they have items that are special just for them. My husband is not so sensitive that he has to worry about a spoon or something bumping into a gluten product. I have gotten used to making sure his dad's food doesn't touch the meat...
