Though I didn't crush them, I used Baby Num-Nums. They are rice rusk wafers for babies that taste like a rice crisp cereal and they say gluten free on the box. They will crush well if you want, or make a great little snack. My kids liked having one with a little cream cheese on it if we were caught out without a snack when they were older.

Congrats on feeling better. The iron may take a while to come up. When regular iron supplements were not improving my levels my doc put me on Repliva 21/7 tablets. It is a prescription iron supplement that contains iron in three forms, allowing for better absorption. You take the actual pill for 21 days and then there is a placebo for 7 days, like birth control...

In regards to your blood test. When you go into the doctor for the blood test, it is important not to be on a gluten free diet. It can give you a false negative. The doctor should have your results back within a week or so. If antibodies are present, the doctor will want to confirm with a biopsy of your small intestine. If no antibodies are present, the doctor...

La Tortilla Factory makes wonderful gluten free tortillas. Try the Ivory Teff wraps, they are made from teff and millet flours. They are the size of a flour tortilla, smell and taste similar, and go well for use as a wrap or in making enchiladas. They can be a little dry. To fix that, microwave them for a few seconds with a damp paper towel. I find mine at...

With both of my children I was sick from around two weeks until delivery. With my first, I was undiagnosed and nothing seemed to help except protein. With my second, she was a surprise! Tow months before hand I was diagnosed with acute onset celiac sprue. We wanted another one, but planned to give me some time to heal first. I was deathly ill with her and...

Hey, guess what, I didn't say it contains wheat, but that it has an allergy warning on it! May contain traces of milk, wheat, and soy. That is an allergy warning, not that it has wheat as an ingredient! Read the original post first. I was passing along information that there is an allergy warning, I will quite often get ill when I have something that has...

Just found this thread- I have an aunt that drops the r instead of adding it. As a child I had some pointed questions for my mother on adult practices after hearing my aunt say, "I went to a "potty" last night with some people."

Is it just me or are there a ton of bugs going around this season! Right before Christmas, both of my girls had pink eye, which was going around the classroom. They felt better for Christmas, then right afterward both came down with a nasty cold flu bug. One had a sinus infection and a sore throat, the other had an ear infection, then my husband caught it...

I was told after my diagnoses that based on my family history, my children would have a 50% chance of developing the disease. But in my case, my paternal grandfather, a non compliant, was diagnosed around 30 years ago, my father, also non compliant, has gluten intolerance with DH, and I was diagnosed with adult acute onset celiac. Turns out that both of my...

I came across an article awhile back that said that foods made in the USA that contain starch, or modified food starch, unless otherwise stated, are always a form of corn starch. But foods made outside of the US, that's anybodies guess and calling the customer line would be in order.

While their lunch meat isn't always a deli style cut, Great Value brand- from Walmart- also has gluten free right on the package, and has a nice flavor.

Thank you for the suggestions. I made my first "trip" to the gluten free mall. I just have to say, yikes! I didn't realize how expensive the pre-made foods are. I make everything at home from flours I buy at a local Korean market. But now that I have been there, I may have to order some chicken nuggets and maybe some breakfast items for the trip. I still...

While shopping the other day my grandmother actually read the back of the bag of some Great Value brand frozen veggies. She noticed they now have a wheat allergy warning on them. She passed it on to me as soon as she got home. So be warned, now we have to start watching plain vegetables!

I hadn't even thought about that! Believe it or not, I survive without ever visiting a health food store, so I usually don't think of them.
