    My children are 5 and 7 years old. I maintain a 99% gluten free home. (my husband is a gluten eater, but anything that comes in the house has to be carefully segregated or pre-packaged and can't be cooked on my pans.) If I were to do a gluten challenge for the kids, I would probably take the bread outside, make their sandwiches outside, and make them eat...

    I think that it's hilariously funny (in a kind of sad way) that they've said that it's been "thoroughly proven that gluten sensitivity doesn't exist." A study of 37 people (most of which probably didn't have severe issues if they were willing to be guinea pigs for gluten) is not a thorough proof that an entire medical condition doesn't exist. I have...

    ^^^EXACTLY!

    Okay, this is honestly one of my least favorite parts of being gluten-free. (other than well meaning people trying to cook for me maybe, though this is a sub category of that) Last time I went to my SIL's house for the weekend, I was so glad to get home! I was so sick and tired of harping on proper gluten-free food prep and hanging out supervising cooking...

    If anybody has any additional thoughts to add to my "speech" that would be great too. I will likely only get one chance at this and I don't want to mess it up!

    My kids need to be tested for celiac. I've been trying to organize my thoughts so that I have the best chance of convincing my doctor to listen to me. Here's some of what I am thinking about telling him: "You know, I changed my kids diets and removed most gluten several years ago, due to their skin issues. But now I'm realizing that I should have...

    I think that I'm going to start buying Golden Prairie millet. Open Original Shared Link I already buy their certified gluten-free organic rolled oats.
  8. BlessedMommy
    Does anybody have a good source for certified millet and buckwheat? Bob's Red Mill has sorghum flour, but I'm not having good luck finding the other ones.
  9. BlessedMommy
    It is really, really good! My kids love it. It's very easy to modify it for different dietary needs too. I'm vegetarian and dairy free, so I plan to make it with non-dairy cheese shreds and the new gluten free vegetarian "ground beef" crumbles that Gardein came out with recently.

    I'm having a big time craving for some tater tot taco bake. I think that I'll make this one later in the week. http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/mexican/tater-tot-taco-bake.html

    I agree, there's a lot of choices! I think, if anything, I eat more variety now that I'm gluten-free, than before.
  12. BlessedMommy
    You know, now that you mention it, the granola looks VERY similar to the Enjoy Life Very Berry Crunch granola. Hmmmm....Maybe I should do a blind taste test on them. LOL!
  13. BlessedMommy
    Thank you! That is very good information! So, really for millet, sorghum, buckwheat, and soy, I should be looking for the Bob's Red Mill bulk bags.
  14. BlessedMommy
    That's a great idea Cathy! Not only for cutting, but also for making a gluten free sandwich or any other kitchen activity. It'd sure be easier and less intrusive than giving your relative's counter a thorough scrub down with soap and water. LOL!

    And I hope along with you, that the medical community gets onto the idea of doing a petri dish endoscopy some time in the future. It makes logical sense that if you put gluten into a dish with intestinal tissue, that if the person is a celiac, you should see damaged villi on the tissue sample. And in that case, there would be virtually no false negatives...

    GottaSki, thanks for giving out good information about getting a DX. That could spare more people from the frustrations of being undiagnosed.
  17. BlessedMommy
    The brown rice pasta that I was referring to that is sold by Aldi's is certified gluten free and has the symbol on it indicating so.
  18. BlessedMommy
    I laughed at their final line. I hope that people with real gluten issues don't go and say, "Oh I read an article that said that unless I had confirmed celiac disease, science has confirmed that I can now chow down on the bread!" That would be a disaster. I hope that this study serves as a springboard for larger studies.
  19. BlessedMommy
    Thanks for the feedback. I don't have any plans of getting one for my kitchen (my kitchen is 99% gluten free), but when I go to my SIL's house, it's good to know that it's perfectly safe. I might still bring along my wooden cutting board, though, because wood is my favorite.
  20. BlessedMommy
    Yes. Their brown rice pasta is only $1.89, which is the best non-salvage price that I've seen anywhere.
  21. BlessedMommy
    Ditto to kareng, what did you find there? I've tried some of their other things like their gluten free crackers and pasta. So great to see their selection broadening!
  22. BlessedMommy
    In addition to the dedicated facility part, since the FDA came out with their analysis on arsenic in rice products, I tend to favor Lundberg because much of it is grown in California and it's organic. Rice is a good crop to buy organic because it absorbs a lot from the soil.
  23. BlessedMommy
    I use mostly Lundberg Family Farms rice. They have a dedicated gluten-free facility.
  24. BlessedMommy
    Yes, yes, and yes! That's the main reason that I hate not having a DX is because I have to defend and explain why I need to be so careful. I also hate all the stuff circulating around about gluten free fads and so on, so forth. Because then people perceive that if you don't have a DX, you've jumped on the fad bandwagon. I would give almost anything...
  25. BlessedMommy
    ^Exactly!
