    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...

    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

    This thread made me laugh, even though I don't have celiac, my 5 year old daughter does. I have one for you: You know you have celiac when you have to explain to the bakery clerk that white flour is made of wheat. She offered my daughter a cookie and I quickly said "no she can't have wheat" She told me that they didn't use wheat flour, but just the...

    I found a good gluten-free/ not sure if it is casien free, but it did say dairy free(sorry I don't know all the hidden forms of casien) frozen treat. They are Phillyswirls Italian Ice stix. Here are the ingredients- WAter, Sugar, Corn Syrup, Natural and Artifical flavors, Banana Puree, Rasberry juice Conc, Orange juice conc, Satbilizer (Cellulose Gum, Xanthan...

    This is another idea for kids that must have a cake. Try a Boston Creme Pie. The cake is thin enough that you can't really tell that it is gluten-free and at least my daughter loved the pudding in the middle and the fact that I melted frosting and put it on the top. It is pretty easy too if you use Jello instant pudding (make it like you would make for a...

    How funny. I just "found" these in our grocery store. My daughter loves them.
  20. brdbntL
    Momma J, The problem with things labled wheat free is sometimes they have things that still contain gluten in them, i.e- oats (mainly because of cross contamination), barley, rye, and my favorite malt flavoring. My daughters are also picky. I don't know if this will work with your daughter, but I let mine dip everything into the "dip" of their choice for...

    Catfish, I have used that peanut butter cookie recipe with great success. I have even taken them to my daughters Church group, she is 4, and the kids all loved them. One of the teachers, who is so nice and always tries to include my daughter in the snack, used the recipe to make Peanut Butter kisses. ( You know the peanut butter cookie with the Hershey...

    My daughter had just turned three when she had the biopsy. As someone said earlier it was easier on all of us than the blood draw. And my daughter is diabetic and used to shots. The worst part of the day, was when the nurse told us she couldn't go on the playground equipment, because of the anastesia.

    Tamara, Oh you are so not alone. I felt the same exact way. Actually I was in on and off denial for about a year. (she had no symptoms, we only found out because of blood tests run for her Diabetes) Bette Hagman's pancakes have(from the green cookbook, I think they are the Buttermilk ones) fooled even my gluten eating parents. Pizza had been my downfall...

    Valerie, My children are small, so I don't know that much about protection at the college level, but my brother works at a cafeteria at a college in Texas. Actually he plans menus and all sorts of things. When I found out about my daughter, I was asking him questions about how he could/would deal with it if someone came to him with that sort of limitation...

    ARCHIVED Need Ped Gi Dr In Pa

    brdbntL replied to mat4mel's topic in Doctors

    I don't know how far you are away from Wilmington, De, but we see Dr. Schaffer at AI Dupont and he is very good. He actually had to talk me into the diagnosis. My daughter had no obvious symptoms, except that she is type 1 diabetic. I don't know any doctors in PA, but since Philly and Wilmington are so close.... Sorry if this doesn't help.
