I agree that it sounds like she has positive test results and I don't understand why the doctor would hesitate to diagnose her. My son was 7 when he was diagnosed and his results were on the 'mild' side as well. He had definite symptoms (abdominal pain, dark circles, pain in his legs / joints) and they told us that his biopsy results showed early signs...

Grace's Mom, Big hugs to your daughter ... I just about cried reading your post! My oldest son was 7 when he was diagnosed and the first months were the hardest. The end of the year is extra tough with all of the parties and summer birthdays they celebrate. It's so disappointing that your daughter's teacher handled the cake situation like that! I would...

We gave up on the frozen gluten free breads and make our own using the Pamela's mix. My 3 sons (3,6, and 9) eat it and love it! It's not crumbly and keeps for days without drying out! We go through a loaf a week, but you could easily make it and then freeze half of it in slices to use later.

I, too, think it's wonderful that you're so concerned about your grandchild and helping keep her healthy! My parents live 3 1/2 hours away so it's a little different from your situation. They bought a new cutting board, toaster, and a pasta strainer (all easy ways to get cross contamination) and only bring them out when we come to town. We do use their metal...

There are a couple shopping guides that list Gluten Free products. I used one called Cecelia's Marketplace (Open Original Shared Link) when we got started almost two years ago. It was a life saver! I found that I could buy special pastas, bread mixes, crackers and such at a store like Whole Foods and then shop at my local grocery store for the mainstream...

I haven't tried any recipes in my Zojirushi from scratch, but I do use the Pamela's gluten-free bread mix. I make at least one loaf a week and it comes out perfectly every time! I put it on the Memory 1 setting or I set it to back over night ... both come out great! I've also used the Gluten Free pantry bread mix and that comes out very nicely. I think...

I think that calling principal is a good idea ... I really don't see what the big deal is about leaving a few minutes early to heat up a lunch! But, maybe the compromise is that she brings a lunch on the days that doesn't need heating when there is a guest speaker and is allowed to leave early the other days. My sons don't have access to a microwave and...

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post any website names, but I order my break mix (the Pamela's bread mix) through Amazon and get the subscription to it so it comes automatically once a month. It brings the price down significantly (down to around $3.75 a bag). I have 3 children and we all eat gluten free so we go through a lot of bread! Good luck!

Here is the response that I received from Cecelia's Marketplace about Yogos, fruit snacks, and other items .... Thank you for contacting Cecelia

I believe Reeses PB cups are gluten free, but there are a couple that have special shapes (like the small holiday bell shapes) that have gluten in them. Did you eat a 'normal' Reeses cup??

This is the Kellogg nutrition statement about gluten and wheat ... it does sound like a CYA comment, but at least it's honest! __________________ Which of your products is gluten- or wheat-free? At this time, we do not offer products suitable for consumers on a gluten- or wheat-free diet. All of our products are produced in facilities that also manufacture...

Yesterday I read on the 'gluten free foods, products, shopping, and medication' section of this forum that Kellogg Yogos and Kellogg Fruit snacks are not longer gluten free. Here's a link to the thread (if the link doesn't work, it's the "Celcelia's Gluten Free Product Alert" thread). https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=62962 I know...

I'm sorry your daughter was sad about being different! My sons (8 and 5) are very good about being gluten-free, but do feel left out every now and again! I had a wonderful experience with my son's preschool last year. I emailed a list of gluten-free snacks and she ended up writing a letter to the parents saying that there was a student who is gluten-free...

My 8 year old son continued to have stomach pain a year after he went gluten free. I finally took him off of corn and it helped a lot. He can have corn starch or meal in things such as Glutino pretzels, but I really try to keep him off of tortilla chips, corn, and limit the amount of corn based cereal he has (Corn Chex, etc). It really did help a lot and...

I don't have much to add, but I do believe that Airhead EXTREMES have wheat in them. I almost bought them for my children once and happened to check the ingredients ... wheat flour was listed twice. I think the airheads are okay. Last year I gave my children the miniatures (not the krackles with rice krispies in them) and I'm pretty sure they made them...
