I have made muffins and cookies. You have to be exact in her recipes NO substitutions. They are good but I find the flour mixes to be a tiny bit gritty. If you can get superfine rice flour they would be better. I find King Arthur flour superior but her recipes cannot be substituted because they are so exact. At least according to her they are, I asked about substitutes.

That is the reason I refused to have Thanksgiving or Christmas at my house this year. I was able to pack a gluten-free meal and snacks for my dd and not have to worry about it. I if I demanded no gluten they wouldn't of come anyway so it was no gluten food or have it at your house. They wanted gluten so they hosted it worked out fine.

Cobb salad with julienne ham slices or ham salad sandwich or deviled eggs. The last ones a stretch I know.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm wanting to make sure she gets enough to make the tests valid, I know this is not going to be a fun process and I want to make it count. She's very sensitive, she has been reacting to possible cross contamination in a few things I thought were gluten free (some even labeled as such). I think we'll start with a piece of bread and see how that goes, the GI wants us to do a little for a weak and then increase to 3 servings a day which seems like a lot but I don't want to have to redo the process further down the road just because we didn't do it right. Pizza is a great idea but I don't want to contaminate my kitchen with gluten flour and our access to allergy friendly foods is very limited. We may try cream of wheat in the mornings if my girly will eat it, she's very picky
I think Amy's makes a allergen free frozen pizza you just have to cook in the oven. It should not contaminate more than the oven rack, and you can wipe that off when it cools.

Anyone find a good APP for their phine for product listing of gluten-free foods. I use the handbook by Univ of Illinois Celiac disease center. It's fabulous but I would rather not carry it if my iphone can do the same

Yes. I made them and they were the most delicious gluten free chocolate chip cookies! Even people not on a gluten free diet thought they were delicious. I think there was a recipe on the KA box that I followed. Otherwise, it was on their website.
Thanks, I guess I should of looked for their recipe.

There is a gluten-free brand called Mi-Del we like. Very close to Oreo's but not exactly the same.

Can you use Kinnikinnik smoreables?

You could do a gluten-free rice krispie treat, note on recipe card to use reg. rice krispies and jazz it up with crushed peppermint candy, choc. chips, p.butter chips or cinnamon.
Trail mixes using chex cereals and dried fruit with chocolate or go to chex website they have many different kinds of treats to do.
Appetizer: chicken tenders coated with corn chex (recipe on website) stick on a skewer and serve with some dip
You can make a Trifle cake , just use gluten-free cake mix , pudding and whipped cream. You can suggest add-ins on recipe card

Hello,
Has anyone successfully made choc chip cookies using KA flour? I have the flour and want to use it but my first attempt subbing exactly for the tollhouse recipe did not work. They basically melted on the cookie sheet.
Thanks.

My DD was diagnosed in April both blood and endoscopy confirmed. We had a nutritionist mtg and have followed up cholesterol and healthy lifestyle (DD has very high BMI) visits with Pedi since last mtg with Gastr doc.in May.
Are we supposed to do follow up blood work for Celiac because I haven't heard from that doc since diagnosis. Am I supposed to be hounding our Pedi or Gi about it?
What does everyone else do after first diagnosis?

Mizzo, or anyone who uses King Arthur's flour, could you provide a link listing their ingredients? I searched for about 10 minutes or longer on their website and couldn't find it. I absolutely dislike the taste of brown rice flour and avoid it.
Or, would some kind soul who uses it look and see if brown rice flour is listed in the ingredient list and let us know? Thanks! I would like to try it if it doesn't.
Sorry , but yes it does contain brown rice flour.

-Birds Eye Steamfresh Singles or other small packages of frozen veggies
-Minute Rice ready to serve rice containers
-Peanutbutter, jelly or marshmallow fluff
-Rice cakes or loaf of gluten-free bread
-Fresh fruits/veggies
-Nuts
-Eggs--I scramble and microwave them and eat them with melted cheese on top of a rice cake or something of the like
-Cheese sticks/Kraft sliced cheese
-Hormel Naturals lunch meat
-Tortillas
-Yogurt
-Another favorite of my kids': put mozzerella cheese and peperoni on a rice cake and microwave until cheese melts. Works with ham and cheese too.
-Dinty More microwavable cups see gluten-free list here Open Original Shared Link
-Thai kitchen instant rice noodle soups link here to allergin/gluten statements Open Original Shared Link
I'm sure someone else can think of more things.
Oscar Mayer : Turkey, Bologna or hot dogs
Progresso : chicken and rice, Lentil and clam chowder soups
Tostito's tortilla round chips can be used with salsa, guacamole, scooping up soup , layer mini sandwiches or just melt cheese on them
If you can borrow a crock pot you can cook meat and rice and veggies at same time and have leftovers for heating up in microwave later.
I'm sure there is more idea's to come.

Sorry this is not on your list, but...
King Arthurs gluten-free flour has so far worked cup for cup as a really great substitute for cookies. I am going to make muffins with it this weekend.
Yes it's more money but less bags of stuff less measuring and definitely better tasting. I stocked up when it went on sale so I will have plenty.
-
I have chopped gluten-free Oats for just this reason and it does work OK. There's a bit of a bite to them but not bad.
I like all but the soft butter as an adhesive for this recipe , if I did it I would use PB or olive oil.
-
My thought is, if you have to question it, get rid of it.
-
This bread machine does have a gluten free cycle. I see this is on sale at Amazon, check the reviews, there are over 400 of them many statements re:gluten free.

Did your doc do a full blood work on him? What he deficient in any vitamin ? I read leg and arm pain were associated with low iron and/or magnesium. There is a whole other thread on the internet with conversations about it. Ask your doc and make sure you child is getting his vitamins anyway, Its really important for Celiac's.
good luck

My DD used it during her tests and results were positive.

My daughter's blood test for Celiac came back negative. She had not been eating gluten for about 5 weeks but the pediatrician thought that antibodies would still show up. Well, having been down that road myself I wasn't surprised the results were negative.
Anyhow, in talking to the doctor last night he agreed that she had a positive dietary response to going gluten/dairy and corn free so she should remain on this diet for at least 6 months. He told me that often people, kids especially, outgrow their food sensitivities and I should try again after 6 months.
In all the research I've done, and granted a lot of it has been on this site, but I've also done some other reading, it seems as if once you determine gluten is making you sick, then you stay off gluten forever.
If she truly has a "sensitivity" to gluten, is it possible she may outgrow it? I'd worry that 6 months down the line after some healing that she may not have an outward response but could still be doing damage to her body. On the other hand, it sure would be nice and convenient to have a child who could eat gluten if it was healthy for her.
IMHO
Keep her Gluten, dairy and corn free for 6+ months. Then slowly introduce 1 back into her diet (start with dairy) and see how she does for a few weeks. It will be apparent if she is still intolerant to it.
It is unlikely a person will outgrow their Gluten intolerance but NOT impossible. The corn and dairy might be a different story. My girl had to be dairy-light for a month when we first went gluten-free but was fine having it ramped back up after that. I am not positive for Celiac but was Dairy intolerant for my first year of life and I outgrew that.
But for now if she is doing well, keep it up for 6 months to a year. Then reevaluate.
Good luck

Hi and welcome,
Every persons recovery is different. That being said :-) My 7 yr old DD stopped having severe belly pains within 3-4 days but it took a good 2 months for them to stop completely along with the constipation she had for 1 1/2 years. I stopped all Miralax and Milk of Magnesia immediately and haven't touched it since and she's been gluten-free since April.
When she accidentally gets gluten it shows up within the hour and lasts about 12-24 hrs.
I was really worried at week 4 also, wondering WHY isn't she completely better. But i asked the same question on this forum and found it will take time, some people told me 6 months for their recovery.
Good luck

There is a oreo type cookie called k-toos by kinninick. I have to not only have gluten free snacks for my youngest son but they have to be peanut/nut free since there are kids in his class with nut allergies. These are a few things I put in his snack box: Craisens (in individual packages), snack size orville redenbachers microwave popcorn, fruit cups in natural syrup, applesauce cups, betty crocker fruit snacks/fruit roll ups, enjoy life chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookie packs. Enjoy life also has snack bars. Can you do the chex cereals? I found a cool idea on there for fruit sushi. Here are some likns for some ideas.

Hope this helps.
We can't do Enjoy life, Kinnikinnick, GLutino or specialty gluten-free products ( cost for an entire classroom is pricey) but most other idea's will work, thanks.

I make a batch of Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownies and allow them to cool. Cut into squares and wrap with saran wrap, then with aluminun foil and freeze in large ziploc bags. Each day, I take one out as needed. Already individually wrapped and they defrost by lunchtime....
I am looking for store bought, prepackaged items for an entire classroom.

Only 1 celiac in our household of 3. We are 95% gluten free. The only thing with gluten are Bread, crackers , some noodles and soups. All of these are kept completely separate from all other foods .
examples
1 drawer in frig( veggie bin) is designated for Gluten breads and such
1 shelf in cabinet (top shelf) for noodles, crackers, soup or snack foods
We have rules :
nothing with Gluten can go directly on oven racks
Separate sides of toaster for gluten-free or not
separate strainers for pasta and noodles
wipe down counters with paper towels often
All family meals are gluten free no matter who is here for dinner !!!!!
Any gluten foods eaten in front of dd is something she does not like . Only exceptions are if friends bring their own sandwich for lunch, and I provide snacks if we have company.
This works for us, but maybe not for others.
