We absolutely LOVE Bob's corn bread mix! We made ours in a 9x9 dish and it was great! Granted, it's been awhile since we've had REAL cornbread, but from what our tastebuds remember, this was right on.

I thought I should update you all and let you know what the culprit was. This is really stupid on my part, but it WAS the flours/spices from the bulk discount store. As soon as we threw all of them out and bought new flour and spices DD cleared right up. I think with income tax this year we are going to buy cases of the things we use most so that we do...

Well, I cannot help you find a ped because I am in the midwest, but I totally feel your pain. Around here it is hard to get away from the middle-eastern docs. My current ped was absolutely wonderful... at first. But he is one of those "doctors and tests are never wrong" kind of guys, and even though his caseload seems small for the area he never seems...

Congratulations!!! I know how exciting it is . DD was 14 1/2 months, we started the gluten-free diet September 30th. So in less than 4 months she has grown 4 inches taller and gained 5 pounds!!! If one more person insists that she is not gluten intolerant I'm just gonna smack em with the growth chart over their head, haha!

Sandie, that is really interesting. Be sure to keep us posted to let us know how what results. DD still has eczema on her cheeks, that lightened but never fully went away. Today was a good day. Only one poopie, and rash on her bum nearly gone. No crabby baby either. Last night I didn't cook in my kitchen. But I also didn't clean yesterday either (...

It took us awhile to get the gluten-free diet completely right. Once we did, she became a completely different child. I did not get an official diagnosis, but after having her in the hospital hooked up to an IV due to dehydration I knew I had to try something. I still wondered in the back of my mind whether or not I was doing the right thing (even though...

Thanks for all of the ideas. We still have an unidentified problem. I just can't figure it out. We have went through everything, and I mean EVERYTHING.... I just don't know what else to do. I wish someone could tell me what on earth is bothering my baby.

We have been gluten free since september. After the first month or so learning curve, my dd started just thriving. Past couple of weeks however, we have thought she was possibly getting gluten regularly somewhere. Well, now this weekend, it's like stepping back 6 months into what our life was like before going gluten-free. DD is cranky, bm's 3-4 times...

We noticed a change in DD's sleep pattern instantly. Probably because she wasn't being glutened anymore and no longer had to wake up to tummy aches in the middle of the night. Other things were more slow going. We have been gluten free for a couple of months now, and in the past few weeks we have noticed more growth/weight gain than in the beginning. ...

Try not to beat yourself up over it. It took us a solid MONTH to quit glutening DD every other day (or so it seamed that often to me...). We pretty much avoid fast food all together now. The only place we will go is Wendy's to get baked potatoes, and we always ask that the food prep gal/guy put on a fresh pair of gloves before handling our baked potatoes...

*doing the happy dance* I am so thrilled to hear stories like these!!! Yaaaaaaaay!

My pediatrician would not test my older two children for Celiac because my 15 month old daughter tested neg. Those of you who have read my posts know that we put her on the diet anyway and it has worked wonderfully. Our entire house is gluten-free, but the boys eat breakfast and lunch at school so are not gluten-free. Well.... we had a long weekend this...

Ok, maybe DD is just sensitive to apples (because of the level of sorbitol?), but she can't even have a normal serving of apple juice or a small cup of diced apples. Is she so sensitive because she is still healing? Will she ever be able to eat apples? One serving gives her water diarrhea. It doesn't seem to effect her otherwise, but you can guarantee...

We had the same experience here. First we thought she had colic. Then we thought maybe she wasn't getting enough of my breastmilk so we pushed solids even harder.... At 1 year, she STILL wasn't wanting to eat ANYTHING. 4 months later we began a gluten-free diet, and her appetite picked up within a week. It would be worth a try especially if it runs in...

I am so excited!!! I try not to buy anything that does not specifically say "gluten free" if it comes out of a can. I was picking up some Dinty Moore Beef Stew today for the rest of the fam to eat for lunch, and noticed a new Armour hash can. On the back it now says Gluten Free!!! I know, most of you will think it's yuck, but I grew up on the stuff and...
