About Me

I was diagnosed with celiac disease in October 2008 after almost 2 1/2 years of fatigue, anemia , iron deficiency and heartburn. I had a positive IgA tTG and biopsy.

I have two sons. My youngest went gluten free 11/19/10 after a positive tTG and no EGD/biopsy. My oldest son has had repeated negative blood work and negative scope/biopsy in Aug. 2011. He is currently undergoing a gluten free trial.

I enjoy time with my family and anything to do with the outdoors. I also like gardening, canning, cooking and baking.

    I haven't had a cracker that even comes close to a saltine. I learned a long time ago not to compare gluten free items with a gluten counterpart. It was a big disappointment. My family likes the Schar table cracker, Glutino crackers, Nut Thins/Nut Thin Artisan, and Nabisco gluten free crackers.

    Kraft, Unilever and ConAgra are all full disclosure companies, meaning if there is gluten as an ingredient it will be on the label. As for the specific products: Kraft BBQ you would need to read the label. Again as a full disclosure company they will list gluten ingredients. I buy lots of Kraft products and feel confident with the company. I have ate...

    I try my best to stick with potato or non grain vodka. My husband and I like Vikingfjord(potato). We tried Ciroc that is made from grapes and we didn't like it and it upset both our stomachs. I have drank Absolut (distilled from winter wheat) and did not have any issues with it at all. So I guess you just have to find one that works for you.

    Yes my oldest sometimes has insight well beyond his years. There is a girl in his class that he is crushing on and he recently found out she is gluten intolerant too. I thought it was cute, so I said to him that they could go on a gluten free date. He wasn't amused. IMHO if I was going to go through all the trouble to do a gluten challenge, I would...

    The only other intolerance my youngest son and I have is to gluten free oats.

    Congrats to your new found health! I've been gluten free now for almost 5 1/2 years and am doing well also.

    Both my kids were eating gluten free meals at home but still ate plenty of gluten snacks and food outside of the home. Both tested negative on blood work after my diagnosis(age 3/7). Two years later my youngest still was having issues so had him tested again and blood test positive(age 5). We opted out of a biopsy since I had a solid diagnosis and his...

    I'm glad this has made it easier for you. My kitchen is mostly gluten free. My husband is the only gluten eater in the house. He has snacks, his own toaster and dedicated space on the counter. The rest is gluten free. He is good about not double dipping and gets everything he needs first then makes his sandwiches. He doesn't bake any gluten foods because...

    At the time I was diagnosed I had asked my children's pediatrician to order the tests for them. He refused and I was mad as can be. They both were seeing an allergist at the time so I called and explained the situation and no problem, tests ordered. Both were negative then, but two years later my youngest son tested positive on his IgA tTg. Oldest son...

    My kids eat them all the time! Taste wise, I like them much better than other gluten free brands. We have not had any issues with them at all.

    I can't vouch for the product, but personally wouldn't use it. I won't even consume anything with wheat grass in it. I know that it is the grain that we react to but, I just can't bring myself to do it. Hopefully you won't have any reaction or if you do it's mild. My reactions to things can be hit or miss. I've reacted badly from cross contamination...

    My youngest son and I don't eat Kind bars because of the cc from gluten free oats. My oldest son is fine with them.

    We use the daily in this brand. It is non-dairy, non-gmo, gluten free, soy free, preservative free and vegan. I don't know if it is corn free. You could contact them and ask. Open Original Shared Link
