    Thanks Erin Elaine (my daughter's middle name is Elaine also ) I have not purchased a gluten free shopping guide for her yet. She is not in a position to shop too much. I will keep that in mind when she does start to do her own shopping. She has been very good about asking how her food is prepared so I think she has the cross contamination issue down...

    Thanks for all of your suggestions and resource recommendations. My daughter tried Amy's gluten-free mac & cheese this weekend and did enjoy it. I made some chili and cornbread for her freezer. She actually liked the gluten-free cornbread better than the way I used to make it. My mother purchased her a microwave popcorn popper and she is absolutely...

    She is not allowed to have a hot plate in the freshman dorms, but I will remember this for next year. Thanks

    I just baked some chocolate chip cookies to bring to my daughter next weekend and they came out with a nice flavor, but a gritty texture. I used white rice flour, tapioca flour, and potato starch. Any suggestions on how to improve the texture next time? I am planning on freezing them. I hope that will not make the texture worse. Thanks for any advice...

    Thanks for your reply. These are good ideas. She just called me to say she ate some soup and was so sick this afternoon her professor excused her from class. I told her you idea for the individual packets of soy sauce and she liked that idea very much. I will look into some gluten-free canned soups for her also. I feel she is starting to get discouraged...

    I managed to create my username in all upper case. Is there any way to change it to lower case?

    I will discuss this with her when I see her in a couple of weeks. If she wants to proceed, we can go to housing services while I am there and see what we need to do. Thank you very much for the good advice.

    Those are all good ideas. What are some of the meals that you make that freeze well? She has a very small freezer, but I figure I can bring her a least a few meals to keep in there. Thanks for suggestions.

    You and ShayFL are absolutely right. It looks as though we have caught this before alot of damage was done and the blood test was done on a whim!!! All the doctors she had seen to this point had told her it was stress and that is the direction the GI was going also. I don't know what made her GI decide to order celiac panel, but I am grateful she did. I...

    Thanks, I know you are right. I know deep down that she is celiac. She has been trying to adhere to a gluten free diet, but it is quite a learning curve. Especially difficult because she had to leave for her first year of college so soon after her test results came back. I wish I could have had more time with her to help her through this process. She...

    Thanks, those are good ideas. She does have a microwave. We do not eat much processed food here at home, but unfortunately her options are very limited at school. Next year, I will try and make sure she get one of the dorm suites that has a small kitchen or something off campus so she can prepare her own food.

    My daughter was told she likely has celiac disease. She found out in mid August two weeks before she went away to college. It has been difficult for her to say the least. Food services has been helpful to her, but she is finding out the hard way where gluten hides. For instance, they started offering gluten free pasta last week. She was thrilled and...

    This is my first time I am making an entry on the forum. I have been reading all of the information on the forum for the past few weeks. My daughter was dx'd as possibly having celiac disease in early August. Her gliadin IGG/IGA came back a 91 (normal range <45) and her Transgutaminase IGA 233 (normal <20). She had two endoscopies. The first was...
