  1. Have you ever had him tested? My friends daughter is allergic to Red dye and it started as behaviour issue's and turned quickly into anaphalactic allergy? I think the older the girl got the more she ingested and they became aware of the reaction more obviously.
  2. Unfortunately not all slushies are made alike. For anyone interested I found this: ICEE and Artic Blast have same ingredient listing/flavors. All single flavors (ie: cherry or blue raspberry ) lists thay are gluten-free but....... combo flavors (ie: cherry lime/ or kiwi/lemonade) makes NO gluten-free status. in addition their Coke flavors list...
  3. I have been concerned about these but cannot find any ingredient listings online. Anyone have info on the Chill zone brand? I have all the other brands just looking for CHILL ZONE . Thanks
  4. Could you tell us the mustard brand so we can avoid it as well. Thanks
  5. Could he have a Gluten intolerance? Not Celiac's Have you tried an elimination diet trial ?
  6. Have you done all the precautionary changes in the kitchen including: Replacement of: toaster strainer scratched teflon pans (I did) baking muffin pans, cake pans etc... (I did) wooden mixing spoons cutting boards I changed out my butcher block knife holder as it was filled with crumbs replaced baking powder, soda, anything you may have inserted...
  7. Are migraines /headaches common with Celiacs? My DD has been gluten-free for 15 months and has an increase in headaches over last 4-5 months. We have migraines/headaches in both me and my husbands history so its probably genetic but was just wondering if anyones knows anything about it.
  8. I would keep it simple and easy for kids Grilled cheese sandwiches with french fries will work for everyone Spaghetti with sauce. Ancient Harvest makes a nice thin gluten-free spaghetti. You could garlic toast some bagels with it. Veggie burgers are there any gluten-free ones that would be good on a roll with fries etc.... When my 8 yr old goes to our...
  9. Whew !! You are really limited. Will she use a thermos (hidden she can scoop out contents) Any of her favs can be put in it Will she eat foods at room temp ? If so, you microwave a container and wrap in aluminum foil immediately and put into insulated bag it should stay at room temp and you can send most of her likes in it If so you make make:(add...
  10. Absolutely experienced this with my DD last year as we left gluten behind. I do not know if it is a "real" withdrawal or just part of the healing process. My dd had major mood swings ranging from anger ( she would scream at me for little things) or fits of crying ( i would ask whats the matter and she would say she doesn't know she just feels sad.) emotions...
  11. The sandwich wrap 2 with variations. I didn't let it rise. 25 minutes begin to end. I had another rollup section with tuna for lunch today and still soft. Really spread it thin because it still rises when cooking. good luck
  12. I made the rollup bread from this website tonight and it is great. It softens as it cools and can def roll without breakage or crumbs. I used 1/2 sorghum and 1/2 wht rice flour and 1/2 tapioca starch and 1/2 potato starch in the recipe, simple because its what I had. Meaning it's versatile I strongly suggest everyone try this. A good gluten-free rollup...
  13. What I do is make a chart of all the food my Dd likes example: Protein: Sliced turkey Meatballs Chicken cottage cheese etc.. Fruit: Apples grapes pears canned peaches etc... Veggies Carrots cucumbers w/dressing broccoli florets celery etc... Dairy: yogurt cottage cheese cheese sticks etc.. Carbs: tortilla chips Tortilla...
  14. Hi, I have been lurking around for over a year now. My DD was diagnosed thru blood and endoscopy back in Apr2010. After her tests confirmed Celia I FOUGHT HARD to get myself and husband tested with our Primary dr. to the point of lying about false symptoms to get the bloodwork done.(why i had to do that is beyond me but they wouldn't test any other...
  15. We had a simlar situation happen with spaghetti. Our DD had a reaction 6 hours later which was severe tummy pain for 2 hours then bed with no other side effects and nothing the next day. Usually when I suspect cc it's followed within an hour or so with moderate tummy pain and diarhhea for a day or two, but not with the spaghetti. ???? I am confused...
  16. How about Quinoa.
  17. Yes I have found my DD to be more sensitive the longer she is gluten free. The toaster is absolutely a problem, get your 5 yr old his own. The crumbs collect in the bottom and sides and attach to new slices put in. The few times we indulge in scoop ice cream I make them get a new scooper and/or rinse thoroughly under a faucet before scooping and...
  18. I also use finely ground corn chex that I add different spices to depending on what I am cooking. Great for chicken or pork chops. Also, a light dusting with chick pea flour can add some nice browning and flavor to meat. I use my bread heels only for only bread crumbs in meatloafs, meatballs etc... I have used pretzels as a coating on chicken...
  19. Weight watchers has 2 programs both of which can work on a gluten-free diet. A drawback is their online website for tracking calories etc.. does not have "prepared gluten-free foods" in it for a quick point count. You will have to calculate those on your own. WW pushes fresh fruits and veggies and many of them are "free" no points, but when you start...
  20. rice cakes with pb or nutella tortilla chips with sliced cheese, salsa or guacamole Fritos instead of tortilla chips works also Turkey or ham and cheese stick rollups trail mix made with Chex cereal and dried fruits and choc or pb chips
  21. As someone mentioned buying more frequently and buying in smaller quantities. Yes,it's more expensive by the pound but not wasteful so I bet it balances. Buying like a container of precut cantaloupe instead of a whole melon will prevent waste and allow you a shorter time span to enjoy the food, then on 2nd weekly trip buy differnt fruit. Same goes for veggies...
  22. My DD wants to goto a camp at 4H club. I figure all the feed has some type of gluten in it and maybe a bit of it floating in the air when you dig into the bag or containers. I figured wearing gloves would work to cover her hands with explicit hand washing instructions but what about the air safety? I wouldn't consider this but , she wants a rabbit...
  23. In your opinion does the same apply to cookies, muffins etc. ? as Some recipes do call for a small amount of xantham gum . BTM Thanks for all your engineering in the bread area
  24. Of course fruit and veggies are the best snacks but I assume you need SNACK, SNACK idea's: All the Gluten free chex cereals are fine for toddlers Envirokids and Natures Path has cereals that are delicious and a bit healthier than Chex Pirate booty has assorted gluten-free snacks Fruit snacks like Welch's or Annies (Annies are very soft) Schar...
  25. We discussed homeschooling but chose to goto public school instead. I admit cleanliness is not ideal and I have had to tweek a few things to get them to my liking but really it all depends on the teachers and principal. We have a very understanding principal and she promotes safety in classrooms. I had my daughter moved to an end seat in her group to...
