    Yes! My son gets DH on his elbows and the back of his neck too. Usually just bumps as well. Sometimes very red, sometimes not. The ones on his elbows are super painful for a day or two. They're itchy, but only mildly. He's 9. At first (several years ago) he would get them on his neck (and those were very itchy), but now it's almost always on his elbows. The...

    Hi Polly, My children's elementary has about 700 kids. There are a few other gluten-free'ers, but none happen to be their friends. Most oldest two have moved on to middle school. I think that having a friend with ANY food issue can be helpful. We have a friend with a peanut & sesame allergy, one with a cinnamon allergy, one lactose intolerant with...

    Hi Kirstie, Yes! Mouth ulcers (i.e. canker sores) can be from gluten. I got them chronically (3-5 at a time regularly) as a child and I have Celiac. That was before diagnosis. My Celiac daughter also had them chronically before diagnosis. I don't get them anymore if accidentally glutened, but my daughter sure does. Here's a link to research on the subject...

    Actually we're a 100% gluten-free household - for 4 years. My nanny bought them by mistake and I used them by mistake. Neither one of us noticed. The boxes are seriously almost identical. Grrr. My stomach is still in full revolt. And my little guy is miserable too. : ( A good lesson in slowing down.

    Not sure what's more idiotic - me or the Applegate boxes. Last night after my daughter's softball game I was rushing to put dinner on the table. I grabbed a box of the Applegate gluten-free Chicken Nuggets (or so I thought) and popped them in the oven & cooked 'em. Then I served the kids and took a bite of one off the pan. My 8 year old (also Celiac...

    Hi all, So, I found gluten in my thyroid meds -- generic Cytomel (T3)!!! I have been getting progressively sicker over the last few months. Headaches, severe shortness of breath, zero stamina, stomach issues, etc. I work out regularly on my own plus 2x/week with a trainer. Finally, after embarrassing myself yet again with zero exerise tolerance...

    Hi. I think the all the other posters have great ideas. I just wanted to throw one more into the mix...... My son reacts horribly to artificial food dye, artificial preservatives (like TBHQ and Sodium Benzoate), and some artificial flavor (like cherry). He gets VERY hyper within 20 to 30 minutes of consuming it. It was leading to poor concentration...

    Hi. I store organic lunch meat in them all the time. It's always been fine, but it is fully cooked. Can you partially freeze the meat for the 2nd day? Or maybe just add some ice to be sure. Jillian

    Hi. As far as the birthday treats.....we've found it easier to keep a gluten-free goody jar at school to cover the birthday/teacher/party treats. There will always be the parent who forgets to tell the teacher they're bringing a treat or the teacher who forgets to tell the parent. It makes it easier for all. I can't help much on the gluten-free...

    Hi. We use the Vitalet's Children's Chewables from Freeda Vitamins (www.freedavitamins.com). They come in raspberry, orange, carob, and unflavored. My kids fav is the raspberry. They're a great, quality vitamin. All their vitamins are gluten-free. I take numerous adult supplements from them. Good stuff!

    If you can make room in the car, how about using a cooler filled with dry ice for some favorite foods? That will absolutely keep things cold. We just returned from Maui and I checked a cooler of specialty items on dry ice. Worked beautifully. I purchased the dry ice at my local grocery store. I'm in CA, but all the major stores around here have it. You just...

    Make sure you don't overlook a possible role of artificial food dye, artificial flavors and artificial preservatives (like sodium benzoate and TBHQ) for hyperactive and "bad" behavior. My son was 6 (he's 8 now) when we figured out that he's a maniac on the stuff. He was a different child the first day I removed all traces. It's in nearly everything, even...

    Just a thought.....since your mom is a personal trainer.....do you drink protein shakes? I discovered gluten in a supposedly gluten free rice protein shake although I can't immediately recall the name. I used the EZ gluten home test strips when I couldn't figure out what was getting me. I also tested the supposedly gluten free dog food. Also positive. Have...

    I have been burned by a common grill at a restaurant. So darn frustrating when you call ahead, have them leave the chix unmarinated, talk to the manager & server, etc. Lesson well learned. Now I ask that anything "grilled" be made in a separate pan instead. Beware of common fryers as well. The oil will be contaminated. Some restaurants will heat up separate...
