Hey everyone, I just wanted to write and see if anyone else knew that the Reese's Peanut Butter 'Bells' contain wheat flour? I feel so stupid and upset, the peanut butter cups are my daughter's favorite candy, and have been wheat free for as long as she has been Celiac. I didn't even read the label ingredients because it was just the peanut butter cups...

Hey everyone, I hope you all are having a good New Year! I just wanted to see if anyone on the board claims their gluten-free food purchases on their tax returns. I KNOW that it is hard and time consuming, I've heard some people say they don't think it is worth it, but on our low income, it will be to us, so only helpful replies please. I have seen someone...

Hi Megan! I just got a chance to look at this board, it's been a long time! I also wanted to check on you and Taylor, and see what the results were from everything. I hope you are both doing well, let me know how everything is going.

Hello everybody! Well, my daughter's blood results came back and showed that she is still getting gluten somehow (she has been gluten-free since February 2004), so we immediatly took her out of her daycare and are starting her at a new (much more expensive) daycare tomorrow. I know that someone had a post awhile back on a doc. that could be given to a...

My daughter began having intussusceptions in her small intestine (like an old fashioned telescope closing in on itself), and that was what made her vomit. The damage done to her intestine bc of having celiac and not knowing made her intestine weak and thin. She had to have 3 emergency operations to fix the intussusception. Does you daughter ever cringe...

Megan, That is so great that you are getting Taylor into the Pediatric GI. Best of luck, keep in touch with her results!!!

Molly, As if my story doesn't make me cry enough!!!I am so glad that you were finally diagnosed and I am so glad that your mother must be as relieved and grateful as I am to have a healthy child. Thanks so much for sharing your story!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to say hello, I hope everybody is doing well. I wanted to also share with you the newspaper article that the Flower Mound Leader did on my daughter (Kylie for those of you who don't know us). This is a local paper here in Texas, and I am really happy they took the time to listen to our story and wanted to publish it. You can...

Hey there! I am also agreeing with Rian, we use Velveeta all of the time! And litehouse ranch is good, but we use just regular Kraft ranch in case you cant find litehouse. We also use Kraft american cheese slices, as well as some of the shredded cheese. A lot of them are gluten-free, just beware of the mixed ones like the Mexican blend. Also, I am pretty...

Hey everyone, I am looking for a gluten-free frozen pizza that I can actually cook correctly. We have tried some rice crust frozen pizzas from whole foods, and every time I cook them, I can't get the bottom of the crust to cook right. I've tried 4 times!!!! Each time the top of the pizza cooks, then over-cooks, then burns because I can't get the bottom...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has or knows of a Gluten Free gravy mix, we really like that old country style white gravy for buiscuits and country fried steak (gluten-free of course). I used to buy regular mixes before Kylie was dx, and now she cant eat it, so I need to find a mix that is gluten-free. And don't even say home made, because...

Megan, Well, I am sorry to hear that you may be a little more confused after your doctor's visit today. I have to tell you my daughter's GI doc. also tested her for Cystic Fibrosis as well...Thankfully she doesn't have it, but he just wanted to make sure...And you are right that there is still no explanation for the abdominal distention, undigested food...

Amen, Amen, Amen... I just have to say that I had a rough day at work but that all changed when I came home and found out about this. I think there is going to be a lot of smiling Celiacs today....

Hi Megan, Wow, your post almost made me cry. I think you definitly came to the right place for support. From everything you said about your daughter, it does sound like Celiac. Even down to the part of the projectile vomiting at birth. I had actually forgotten until your post that my daughter also went through that, and we kept switching her formulas...

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I hope you get things figured out. Almost everything you said about your daughter is a vivid memory for me with my daughter. The tummy aches, diarreah, late teething, trouble sleeping at night, etc. I don't know what to say about her tests being inconclusive except that you are her mother, and a mother's intuition...
