celiac3270, I love the pumpkin fairy idea... Thanks

I like Roben Ryberg's book The Gluten Free Kitchen, I found it at our local library before buying it. She uses corn starch and potatoe starch instead of 4-5 different flours. Corn Starch is 99cents a box and the potatoe starch, (I have even found the potato starch in bigger main stream grocery stores) is usually fairly cheap compared to some of the other...

We use Splenda. I make Kool-aid with it and I try baking with it sometimes. It doens't always work with gluten-free baking in my opinion. It is gluten-free. Is it good for you? Probably not, is sugar good for you, probably not. You have to make decisions for yourself based on how something makes you feel. If you try Splenda in your tea and try nothing else...

If you want to do it yourself without the cost of the meter and strips, because they can be expensive if bought without insurance. Try the Keto strips, if you are on a low carb diet this is not the way to go. And if you have a lot of ketones make an appt as soon as possible with the doctor, go to one of those walk in clinics if you have to. I am pretty sure...

Please go get checked for diabetes. My daughter has both type 1 and Celiac (we only found out about celiac through testing because of diabetes). I didn't realize my daughter was diabetic until we ended up in the ER. I am not trying to scare you, but please go get checked. Laura

Wow Jnkmnky, That makes me feel a little better. I tried all summer to get my 5 year old to write her name. I didn't want to make it a "thing" so I backed off and I was sure that the I would get calls about how behind she is and so forth. Don't you know that sweetheart came home after the first day of school and had written her name, not once but maybe...

This is just a thought. But maybe once they realize how much work they will have to do, maybe they will let you supply the meals. People sometimes think that "ahh it is just wheat how hard can it be?" But once they walk a mile in your shoes they might find away around their regs. Good luck and you will be in my prayers. And I like the idea Braunson's-mom...

Lucy, My daughter is type 1 and Celiac. She started Kindergarten August 29th. I was a wreck. She takes her own snack, she was able to have one snack that the rest of the class had (carrots and ranch dressing) and she was so excited (that was the heart breaking thing for me not her). I have a sharpee marker and write the carb count and her name on the bag...

Wow Imagine my suprise when I am flipping through my last minute splurge purchase and find an article on Celiac. It is titled "a disease in disguise" on p 116

Wow Lucy- Our stories are so similiar it is kinda spooky, except my daughter was 3 when she had the endoscopy. She was diagnosed with diabetes at 22 months. And she is asymtomatic. small world. the worst thing for my daughter with the endoscopy is that she couldn't play on the playground before we left (because of the anestesia). Sorry it is late and I...

Thanks - for all the help. Laura

Hi, I am trying to see if a topic has been talked about before, but I can't seem to get the search down to less than a 1000 posts. I took out the word and, that took out 3000 topics. Sorry I just don't seem to be able to figuire this one out. I am looking for any info on tree nut, peanut , and dairy free stuff as well as gluten free. My daughter started...

I got a catalog for oriental trading company. Lots of little junk that kids love. I was thinking about handing that out this year.

He doesn't know all of his letters- isn't that what Kindergarten is for? If he isn't used to being around other kids it will take time. My daughter is 5 and just started Kindergarten she doesn't know all of her letters, but neither did her sister when she started and her sister doesn't have Celiac. I hope everything works out for you, but I just wanted to...

celiac3270, My daughter is type 1 and Celiac. I know it isn't diet sunkist, but diet Hawain Punch is gluten-free. It only comes in the red, but it nice for a change, even I like it. Laura
