GREAT! THANK YOU SO MUCH! -
ARCHIVED Sunscreen
HeatherMelissa posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just got an email from Hawwian Tropic, they can not safely say that any of their products are gluten-free. Banana Boats website does not give a phone number or a way to contact them, UGH! My daughter is 3.5 and would eat lotion if I let her, so she loves to lick her arms after I put it on. I need to find a safe sunscreen! -
Because my of my daughters special needs, she has always havd a hard time telling us when/where something hurts. So my question is how soon after you eat something with gluten do you have symptoms? She started eating a new food 12/22 (she has a very limited diet) and on 1/7 the stomache pains began. Her "sick time' was almost two weeks. We took her to the...

Just because something is labeld as gluten-free doesn't mean that it can't be cross contaiminated, right? -
ARCHIVED Cows Milk
HeatherMelissa replied to HeatherMelissa's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thanks for all the info. I knew that I read that cow's milk was safe (in terms of gluten) but just didn't understand why. Still having issues today. Not eating. lethargic and not drinking. I pray she sleeps soundly tonight. He doctor is in on Wendesday. We are thinking that she is eating too much dairy. She is not allergic, but her diet consists of yougurt... -
ARCHIVED Cows Milk
HeatherMelissa replied to HeatherMelissa's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Sorry for the confusion. Let me back up..... Gabby is three. I BF from 0-18 months, she stopped when I got PG, When we found out she was anemic at age 2 1/2, I started to pump for her since I was nursing my new baby. Then we found out about the celiac disease, and I eliminated all gluten from my diet too. So now she has Breast milk or cows milk if I am... -
If gluten can pass through Breast milk, it could pass through cows milk too right? Cows eat wheat? Gabby had a horrbile tummy ache last night and ate nothing that has glutern in it, we are 100% sure as she has a very limited diet anyways. We can't figure it out. I usually pump breatmilk and give it to her to drink and about every other say she has...

She's not improving. We are treating her anemia now with IV's if iron. -
We are doing follow up blood work for my daughter who was DX in July of this year. We have a routine physical next week and I want to discuss what tests my DR is going to run on her. I saw that someone mention 5 blood tests. Anyone know for sure? And what are their names? Thank You

ARCHIVED Bread Crumbs
HeatherMelissa replied to HeatherMelissa's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
AH HA! I never would have thought about freezing them!! THANKS! -
I really like the My Favorite Sandwhich Bread from gluten-free Pantry. Could i make my own bread crumbs using this? Silly question, but would they go bad/moldy if I wanted to store them? Anyone every do this?

ARCHIVED Modified Food Starch
HeatherMelissa replied to HeatherMelissa's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thank you so much for all your replies. I really appreciate them. We have been dealing with this (the eating) for over a year now. We truely have tried everything. We give her options, let her play with it, have her help bake, keep offereing and offering, let her feed Lucy etc......everything. She just will not try anything. And it's not a matter of being... -
ARCHIVED Modified Food Starch
HeatherMelissa replied to HeatherMelissa's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I will keep trying other beans......I am getting the Bush's tonight. Thing is if they don't look like what the other ones do, she just won't eat them. Thanks for the other suggestions. I am sitting here crying right now. We are talking about a girl who has never had a bite of birthday cake, eaten cereal in the morning or ice cream at night. She just won... -
ARCHIVED Modified Food Starch
HeatherMelissa posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Well, for about three weeks now, we have slowly been removing the gluten from Gabby's diet. Now, she barely eats anything. Yesterday she had 4 oz of yogurt, 4 oz of applesauce and 3 oz of pudding. We don't let her have her goldfish crackers. Her only other food was (that she ate for lunch and dinner) a bean soup from Campbells. Their food starch is either... -
I am used to making pizza dough ahead of time and freezing it in batches....can I do the same wiht my gluten-free dough. Does the flour mixture make a difference? Just wondering!

ARCHIVED I Am So Proud Of Myself
HeatherMelissa replied to AmyandSabastian's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I am so happy for you! I just made the GL Pantry bread and loved it! I was looking at my box of cornstarch (while I was also cleaning out my pantry) and I saw a quick recipe for a roux "starter" I was wondering if it would be anygood and I was gonna try some homemade mac and cheese. I'll let you know! -
Is it ok to use butter when a recipe calls for shortening or margarine. I just like the idea of using a natural product vs the other stuff.

Are these OK? I don;t have box in front of, but I was just wondering. I guess I don't see why they wouldn't be. -
ARCHIVED Natural And Atrifical Flavors
HeatherMelissa posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
What does that mean on a label? I mean really, if that's the case, just use that for all the ingredients, right? I mean it will either be natural or artifical! UGH! So, we have to be careful with anything that has this in the label, right? -
