    Jnkmnky has some great ideas for mainstream gluten-free meals. It's true, you can purchase most of your foods at the regular grocery store. I haven't tried Kinnikinnick bread; it may be fabulous. One reason I make my own bread (and other baked goods) is because I feel they are more nutritious than most of the gluten-free products out there - which...

    scotties-mom: I've used the Gluten Free Trading company for mail ordering products. They have a HUGE selection and only charge you the actual shipping costs. My orders of about $80 cost $7-8 to ship. Open Original Shared Link I make most of our gluten-free baked goods at home and buy a few items at a local health food store. Mostly I buy the special...

    Lisa - I'm glad to see you back on the board. I hadn't checked in for about a week so when I read this thread yesterday, I was really disturbed that you had been so upset. I know most of us want this forum to be supportive, especially to newcomers. You WILL find differing opinions here, which I think helps all of us to broaden our horizons when it comes...

    I use Penzey's spices. They are available by mail order. Nearly all of their products are gluten free. They have some awesome herb and spice combinations and are reasonably priced. Open Original Shared Link

    Pure buckwheat flour is gluten free. Beware of products made with buckwheat flour as many will also contain wheat flour. Bob's Red Mill Buckwheat flour is gluten free.

    Flaxmeal is simply flaxseed that has been ground. You can purchase it already ground or you can grind the seeds yourself. Many people believe the nutritional value is better if you grind the seeds immediately before use. Either way, keep your flax in the freezer to prolong its shelf life and preserve nutrient values.

    I tried this recipe last night and it turned out great! It's a nice, hearty loaf which is what I like. I made these substitutions: **Instead of Amaranth flour I used Garbanzo-Fava flour **Instead of powdered milk, I used 1 cup of powdered buttermilk--this actually made it taste like a sourdough loaf. **I used Fleishman's Yeast instead of Red...

    So cute! My almost 2 yo son is ALWAYS getting a fat lip, it is a weekly event. He's already chipped a tooth! It always looks so bad, but fortunately they heal quickly!

    A couple posters mentioned eating disorders linked to children with celiac disease. Can you give me a reference or link? I would like to read more about this. Thanks!

    Jen - thanks for the info. I called Wyeth. They confirm that Inderal is, indeed, Gluten Free.

    Jacobs Mom Your son seems to be eating a pretty good variety (compared to my very picky daughter). Does he eat fruits and vegetables too? Here are some of our favorite lunches; my daughter goes to preschool 3 days a week, so some of these are packed in a lunch box. Amy's gluten-free Macaroni & cheese Oscar Mayer mini hot dogs and Bush's Vegetarian...

    Nini: Thank you for researching this. It has been on my to do list for some time. I like their Colorations products and am glad to know they are gluten free.

    I recently purchased the gluten free playdough from discount school supply for my daughter's preschool. We have a bucket at home, too. It is $20 for a large tub that is enough for most preschool classrooms. I see in another post, that all of their Colorations art supplies are gluten-free too. They have good prices on most art supplies. The gluten-free...

    Can anyone confirm that Inderal is Gluten Free? I checked the glutenfreedrugs.com website, but it is not listed. I did a search here, but didn't find a definitive answer.

    I have used the Gluten Free Trading Company. They have a lot of products and carry a lot of different brands. They are based in WI. I thought their shipping costs were very reasonable, they only charge what it actually costs them to ship your order. I placed 2 orders of about $80 each, one going to OH, one to NC. The shipping was $7-8. I thought their...

    I use Classico alfredo sauces frequently for a casserole base (as a substitute for cream of mushroom soup). The one with sun-dried tomatoes in it is especially good.

    VydorScope: My vote is for using individual flours, etc and baking gluten free products yourself. Besides cost (and I do think it is cheaper to make your own), you say you like to cook, so you are probably more likely to experiment and find recipes that really work for you and your family. The other reason I like to make my own, is that I can make...

    Has anyone ever used Blue Chip's Products before? I've never heard of them, but their prices do seem better than buying individual packages. I'm just wondering if their products are any good? cdford: I see this company (the link celiac3270 provided above) has a 1 lb bag of Xanthan gum for about $10.

    Have you ever made cookies with the chocolate truffle brownie mix? The brownies are awesome, but I'd like to make cookies instead if it's possible. I checked their website for a recipe, but didn't find one. Has anyone experimented with this?

    Your "Old Fashioned" mac and cheese sounds good. I'm going to try it soon. I make mine from scratch, too, but I do it on the stove top. My kids love it, but they've never had the box kind to compare it to. (My husband likes it too and he's not gluten-free, and grew up eating the box variety, so it must be okay). Here's my recipe: 2 T butter 2 T tapioca...

    Here's a link to an article about a small brewery making gluten free beer. Cheers! Open Original Shared Link

    Celiac blood tests in children under 2 are often inaccurate; I have even read that they can be inaccurate in children under 5. Given the long history of your child's GI symptoms, it would certainly be worth giving the gluten free diet a try. You should see a significant improvement in 3 weeks if she does have celiac disease (although you might not see resolution...

    Donna: Have you actually found products with caramel color that DO contain gluten? I'm just curious because the magazine said they had not found any.

    I was recently given a copy of Gluten Free Living Magazine. In the back is a table titled "Is it Gluten-Free?" which columns for YES, NO and MAYBE. Caramel Coloring is listed in the Yes column. I was surprised by this, because I thought this ingredient could possibly contain wheat and should be verified by the manufacturer. What do you all think of...
