				ARCHIVED Salt And Vinegar Potato Chips
purple posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was wondering if anyone knows if salt and vinegar potato chips are gluten-free. We live an hour away to the nearest store so I can't go look. My daughter wants some and her birthday is next week. I would like to know before I get to the store. Thanks for your input. -

I know a couple of kids that everyone says is bipolar which could be caused by gluten. They can be sooo nice at times and sooo hateful at times. We think one could be allergic to gluten so we are watching her, the other just moved across the country. -

purple replied to hollyres's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
My daughters osteopath diagnosed her allergic to gluten on her first doc visit very similar to this. Months before he diagnosed my mom...I think it was lead in her heart. Anyway my mom (72) is all better now. I thought he was nuts watching him. Then my daughters roommate said she had a doc that did the same thing for another problem. It works. My mom and... - 
	Given your list of edibles, make a layered bean dip. Mashed beans or refried beans and mix in some leftover rice, layer on some peppers, veggies, and whatever else you can have. Serve with corn tortilla chips if you can have them or Riceworks chips or scoop it up with celery stix. Best part- no cooking I feel bad for you, my daughter is almost 20 and...

purple replied to Lorna Doone's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Tried something new. Make a batch of muffins. I made jumbo sized banana. Fill the tins. Then in each tin put in your favorites to make them different and according to what each person likes. Stir in a bit of raspberries or blueberries. Make a well and add a T. of jam and cover the jam. Stir in chocolate or p.b. chips, raisins, coconut or nuts. Just whatever... -

Great, you sound like a great cook!!! I don't yet have Annalise Robert's book yet but its on my list for the next one to get. Could you please post her flour mix??

	Recipezaar #220821 I subbed the rice flour for sorghum. And used parchment paper. Bake at your own risk, they are addictive.

purple replied to arkant's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I agree with ShayFL. Also I believe it is your right to check over everything b/c its for your daughters safety. Schools check for weapons and drugs. To your daughter, food is just as harmful to her health. You might consider replacing their "wrong" items with gluten-free ones just incase they messed up. Then there would be no hastle. - 
	
	
				ARCHIVED Skeptical Mom Trying To Cope
purple replied to Paige'sMom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Great advice given so far. Here is the first tip I learned. When you make something, make extra and freeze a bit for a fast meal. Get a few entrees in your freezer then when your daughter is hungry she can choose what she wants to eat. Or she can eat before going somewhere and then there is no hastle. I drop food like chili or casseroles in baggies and then... -

				ARCHIVED How Does Gluten Free Food Taste?
purple replied to Live2BWell's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Ok, I will toss in my tidbit and add it to what everyone else has said. My family members are the "glutened" ones. I see their symptoms. I want them healthy. I can't put a price tag on their health, its too high. Gluten free foods are expensive (pay now or pay more later)BUT they are healthier for all of us to eat. I studied health and food last year and... -

I remember it well. It's on page 6 right now under "Very good bread recipe". Then scroll to the middle under FiddleFaddle where it says ready in one hour. Another comment says where they put it in bags, just read all of FiddleFaddle's comments -

purple replied to strawberrygm's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Here is a pretty good banana bread recipe: recipezaar #301233. Its dairy, egg and gluten free. I made muffins with it and baked them about 20-25 mins. I used sorghum flour for the brown rice flour and next time I will use less cinnamon. I used 1/2 water and 1/2 almond milk. My daughter loved them. The next batch I left out one banana and the cinnamon and... -
