    I have heard conflicting information on which brands of yogurt are safe. I am particularly interested in Dannon Extra Creamy and Horizon, but info on any brand would be appreciated.

    Donna: I wouldn't stress too much over the protein issue. You can get adequate protein during pregnancy, even if you are eating a vegetarian diet. Especially if you are still eating dairy and eggs. As long as you are getting adequate calories and take your prenatal vitamin, you should be fine on the protein front. Your doctor will let you know if you...

    Do you have a link to this information that you can share? I would like to have access to this gluten-free list. Thanks!

    Terri-Anne: I feel for you. My daughter, who is 3, is pretty picky, though she is eating better now. For a long time she would not eat meat, except for hot dogs. I have had some success with cutting meat (pork or chicken) into strips, sauteing in olive oil and then letting her dip it in mustard. I find that she eats things better when they are sweet...

    cleveland bob- Boost does give you complete nutrition, but keep in mind that you have to drink about 4 cans a day to get 100% of the RDI's. If you have been malabsorping due to long term undiagnosed celiac disease, you may want to take a chewable multivitamin/mineral supplement. Chewable multi's are usually better absorbed. You may want to take double...

    Welcome back, celiac3270. I'm so glad your surgery went well. You've been in my thoughts these past few days. As someone else said, it does take time to recover from surgery, so take it easy!

    Bob The main benefit of Boost is to provide calories and balanced nutrition for people who are nutritionally compromised. So, if you need to gain weight or are unable to take in adequate calories the supplement may help you. Be sure to get the Boost Plus if you need calories. Boost and other similar supplements are expensive though, and you may be...

    If you buy yeast in a jar, you should keep in in the refrigerator once you have opened it. If you are using individual packets, it is okay to store them at room temperature.

    Is this a child's cookbook with recipes that kids can make themselves. or is it a cookbook for adults with kid-friendly recipes?

    How can maltodextrin contain MSG? Wouldn't the MSG have to be listed as an ingredient? Also, I was unaware that MSG contained gluten. Does anyone have more information on this. Thanks

    Sorry to take so long to get back to you. Here is the information I have on Wellbilt. I did order a paddle from them several years ago and used this contact, but I recall they were difficult to get in touch with. Good luck. Director of Customer Relations Parts and Service Dept. Wellbilt Appliance 25 Rose Place Garden City, NY 11040 Phone: 51...

    My 3 yo daughter has had a rash on her bottom that sounds similar to your child's. The Ped said it was eczema and gave her elidel (sp?) cream. My understanding is that celiac kids are also more prone to eczema. She also had a dry bumpy itchy rash all over her body (really I couldn't see it, but could feel it). The elidel did seem to help; but what I found...

    I have a wellbuilt and some time ago I ordered a paddle from them. I think they are in New York. I am not at home right now, but I will try to find the information on how to order a new paddle later on today or maybe tomorrow.

    I made these last week. The FIRST time I made them, my daughter would not even touch them, but the SECOND time, after much coaxing, she ate them and loved them! Just goes to show you, sometimes it takes more than one exposure to a new food to know whether it will be a success! By the way, my husband, who does not have celiac disease, thought they were...

    I am looking for vegetarian burgers, sausages, etc that are also gluten free. All of the mainstream brands that I'm familiar with - Boca, Gardenburger, etc contain gluten. Does anyone know of specific products that are gluten-free? I know Amy's has a lot of gluten-free vegetarian foods, but I didn't see any burger type products. I did a search, but didn...

    I would pursue testing. I think that testing can be done at this age. I put my daughter on the gluten free diet without being tested. She improved dramatically, but I wish now I had a definitive diagnosis. I am unwilling to put her through a gluten challenge now because I don't want to see her sick again. My advice is to get tested before you try the...

    Joan: Sorry not to get back to you sooner. I don't get a chance to get on the board every day. My daughter was in diapers when we were going through the pale stool things, so I'm not sure if her stools floated. My feeling is that they would not have. The testing question has a long story behind it: When I first noticed problems with my daughter...

    celiac3270, Thanks for all your great links. As I am fairly new to this forum, it will be a great help to me. I'd like to add that I really enjoy reading your posts. I was completely blown away when you mentioned in a recent post that you are only 14 years old. I had just assumed you were much older. You are very well spoken in your posts and...

    To get more whole grain in your diet, brown rice and buckwheat flour are two options. We also use a lot of ground flax seed for extra fiber and nutrition. You can add it to baked goods - muffins, pancakes etc. I don't know how much cooking you're doing; it sounds like you are in school.

    Was the organic PB you tried without salt? Don't give up on natural peanut butter! I think it's the best, it's the only kind I will eat. We use Smuckers Natural. I know alot of people prefer the processed peanut butters, but I thought I'd just throw my opinion in.

    My daughter, who is now 3, had pale stools as one of her symptoms. She never had diarrhea, but her stools were very pale, like the color of sand and she had terrible constipation. Pale stools are usually a sign of fat malabsorption, so this was one of the reasons I though there was something really wrong with her. When I put her on a gluten free diet,...

    Ensure Plus is both Gluten free and Lactose Free. The same is true for Boost Plus. A lot of my patients like Boost Plus better than Ensure Plus. They are comparable in calories, protein and nutritional values for vitamins/minerals. My daughter has celiac disease and when our household went gluten free, my husband lost 15 lbs, even though he was...

    I would like to share my gluten-free waffle recipe. I have experimented quite a bit and come up with this recipe. You must have a well-seasoned waffle maker to make these. I actually use a Mickey Mouse waffle maker that we got at Disney World. 1/2 cup gluten-free Flour (2 parts brown or white rice flour, 2/3 parts potato starch flour, 1/3 part tapioca...

    I have a Welbilt too; it works great every time. Even though it makes a 1.5 lb loaf, when I make gluten-free bread, I only make a 1 lb loaf. I think the smaller loaf works better because gluten-free breads do not rise like conventional breads. Here is the recipe I use (adapted from another recipe I found on a different website): 2 cups gluten-free flour...
