    I spoke with the vice principal at my son's elementary school today. She agreed with me that 504 plans are not generally necessary for dietary concers, only if the celiac disease impares a child's ability to learn, then accomodations would need to be made. So, fine, if your child's school is stubbron and pig headed, then go for a 504, but to go into a school...

    my bottom line argument is that it costs tax dollars to pay case workers. Teachers are being over worked and underpaid. Programs are being cut. Parents need to step up to the plate and parent. I see celiac disease as something that can be handled without a 504. If every child with any sort of 'condition' is allowed to have a 504, it seems reasonable...

    I don't know if undigested food is just a celiac disease problem. Corn, peas, nuts... these are foods that are hard to break down even in a healthy digestive track. The floaters can be an indication of fat in the stool. This is not normal unless you are eating a very high fat diet, and even then, not normal as the digestive system should pull the fat out...

    The healthfood stores should have gluten-free cookies and crackers that can make snacks easier. Also, there are lots of recipes in the cooking and baking tips section that you could try. Finally, be glad, your daughter is young and will not know life any different. I have twins. one was diagnosed at 3 and he never cheats, mostly because he doesn't remember...

    Just happened upon this post. Yes, I run low as well, 97.8, as do my mom and sister. Mom has celiac disease, and my sister believes she has it though blood test come out negative. This is very interesting. Some of my friends are doctors. I will ask next time I see them.

    One question? Does having a 504 plan require a case worker? well, two... Does the wording of a 504 plan call for: "a significant physical disability?"
  7. Deby
    I think you have grossly mis understood me. I didn't say that NO case managers are necessary. Just that a case manager for celiac disease us unnecessary. Your argument is actually proving my point. It sounds like case managers are overworked as it is. Why add celiac disease to the load? Go back and reread my post please before you attack me. Also...

    Bob's Red Mill egg replacer has gluten, so avoid that one. Also, you may want to keep in mind that coconut juice is a natural laxative. A quick bread that I like adds chopped dried fruit, any kind. I use mango, cranberry, blueberry, apricot, and raisins. I mix those fruits in a large batch then put a cup in per loaf. Then I mix black and white sesame...

    There was a post about an all rice flour mix that didn't require x gum to have baking success. It was all rice flour mix, or something like that. I'm sure you could find it.

    I would imagine those case managers don't work for free. With school budgets being cut all of the time I'd think the money could be better spent. As for the need for an in school contact, why in the world wouldn't a child who can read, and I assume celiac disease alone isn't keeping anyone from being able to read, not be able to be his or her own 'case...

    I think that if a school is cooperative, you don't need a 504 if you child only had celiac disease. That's just my opinion since my understanding (via my children's own elementary experience) is that a 504 is for a significant disability. In my mind, celiac disease issues are not significant. Type 1 diabities however is different. That requires medication...
  12. Deby
    Yes, I will agree that I'm fortunate to have a school that works with parents. I still scoff at suing the school.
  13. Deby
    I'm sorry, but the whole idea that a child needs a 504 for celiac disease is dumb. I agree with everyone who said that these parents need to take some personal responsibility!!! My sons both have celiac disease. I could raise cane and require the school to provide gluten-free meals at lunch for them. But I don't want to be a pain in the ass parent causing...

    any Bakery that does wedding cakes ought to be able to help you. When I got married, I gave my cake maker a recipe to follow and all went great. Another option might be to have a cheese cake wedding cake. Cheese cake doesn't need to contain gluten flour. Our cake had 5 layers. 3 on tiers and two large rounds (one on each side of the main cake) The...

    Kandee, If you do come to Denver and stop by the bakery, do introduce yourself. I'd love to meet you. Also, I neglected to add that you can mix ground golden flax seed into the pizza crust recipe. It adds good nutrition to the mix, something gluten-free foods seem to be lacking. Add 1/4 cup ground golden flax seed to the recipe I listed above.

    I was whining about my pie crust recipe being tough and a friend recommended adding vinegar and an egg to the mix. I haven't tried this for the pie crust, but I was making biscuts and thought I'd try them in that recipe. I ended up with a very light and tasty biscut. Sift together: 2 cups gluten-free flour (any blend you like) 1 tsp salt 1tsp xanthan...

    mrsfish, I hope you do open a bakery! More need to open to make the USA aware that we are out here wanting to EAT! My only advise is to plan well and have the money up front. My site is running about 250 thousand to get started and I had many advantages go in such as a lease site that already had a kitchen set up. I also got great equipment at bargain...

    It's Monica, Deby is my daughter. She has bi polar disorder with Schizophrenic tendencies. I named my gluten-free bakery after her to give her focus. I use her name for my nick because it's the name of my bakery. But I don't mind being called Deby :-) Yes, it is Bette Hagman's mix, the rice, potato, tapioca from her book. It's not exactly what I use...

    One thing that makes a pizza crust good IMO is that it is chewy in texture like good french bread. Pizza crust should also crisp on the bottom while it is baked but keep that chewy interior. I have found that this recipe works best. 2 cups gluten-free flour mix (use Betty Hagmans mix) 1 cup sorghum flour 1 cup tapioca flour 1/2 cup Parmasian cheese...

    Interesting article. I was disappointed to see that nation wide screening is not recommended via this article. The cost is always the bottom line. What about health and the cost of damage done as a person eats gluten over a long period of time. I met a celiac disease sufferer the other day who was just diagnosed at 24. His mother says his symptoms started...

    ARCHIVED Paul Harvy

    Deby posted a topic in Publications & Publicity

    Yesterday, March 1, Paul Harvy gave credit to the connection between Celiac Disease and Ostioperosis (sp?) He recommended that all people with bone density losses be tested for celiac disease. Unfortunately he described celiac disease as an intollerance to wheat with no mention of barley or rye. However, he did say that a diet change is all that is necessary...

    Dana, your recipe sounds great! I bought buttermilk the other day with the intention of trying some sweetbread. You've inspired me. I think I'll try it today!

    The guys with the beer are Kevin Seplowitz and Craig Belser. Their website is www.bardsbeer.com. You can contact them there I asked my Sorghum flour supplier about a beer I could carry in my restaurant. Here is his reply.

    I found Betty Hagman's bread's too runny and had the same problem with them over flowing the pan. I'd try more flour. Try using a ratio of two cups of water for 3 cups of flour. I don't know how this will work in a bread machine. When I make mine, I use two cups of flour and set the third cup aside. Then after the batter has risin, I add in the third...

    If your children come out positive for celiac disease, then that only goes toward confirming your own diagnosis. I've never tested positive but both of my sons have celiac disease (they are identical twins, so it's not as alarming as it sounds statstically for offspring being positive. :-) My 'oldest' twin complained of bone pain, was weak, pale,...
