Stoole

probably white vingegar which could be made from wheat, although some say it's ok because it is distilled

For what it's worth, I fed my son about 8 oz. of regular semolina pasta over the course of two days. I felt like a bad dad, but the doc wasn't worried that causing a long term problem. Then again, his views on celiac disease are different from the mainstream. Maybe that is because he is an allergist and not a GI guy?

I have to eat at Joe's Crab Shack next month for work. I just e-mailed them through their website. I will report back and let everybody know if they were helpful.

It's tough, especially since your child is so young. (My son is 4 and has celiac disease, so I know...) The only non-nut protein sources I can think of are Cold cuts (depending on how long they will be out - try freezing the gluten-free bread if you are worried) Tofu - You can get it in an aseptic packages (like juice boxes). That depends on whether...

Killarney, I think you can be a gluten-free vegetarian. In fact, maybe it's a plus in your case. You're already used to eating differently from other people, checking ingredients, etc. If you didn't "cheat" as a vegetarian, I bet you will have an easier time eliminating gluten than some other people.
