    is this a sleepover camp?

    Its always easier when you have someone doing the work for you hahahahaha This summer I am teaching my daughter to read labels, She is almost 8 and 1 yr gluten-free. I want her to understand everything better, so when I am not around she can advocate for herself. Just the basics for now.

    I find my girls eats and drinks a lot more at camp because of all the hiking and swimming so I am generous with the servings. I freeze reusable containers overnight and plop cold foods in them in the am to keep them cold for a few hours. it works yogurts Applesauce Fruit salad cottage cheese I might add some crackers or pretzels to have with them...

    I like black bean salad: Canned beans with finely diced onion, green and red pepper and frozen corn (rinsed in hot water but not cooked) toss in italian dressing and good to go. A tuna salad with celery, onion and pickles on bed of spinach with chopped hardboiled egg. My mom used to make us a simple salad of lettuce , peas and hardboiled egg with...

    I have to agree here, I sent 1 thing in for the camp coordinators to do for my DD(gluten-free smores) and somehow they cross contaminated it. I never trusted them with meal prep again. If someone on staff has caliac in the family, MAYBE, I would, but otherwise I would plan on supplying all the food except for maybe the fruit,( if its whole) and drinks . ...

    I have not tried this recipe but I have made her other recipes but never substituted and have had plenty of success. IMO BC mixes are always crumbly. I only use King Arthur, Pamela's and Namaste gluten-free mixes. In that order. The Pamela's mix uses almond flour that might help with the butter sub as it has more fat than rice flour. If you want to...

    Definitely bring your own meat in foil. I just brought a black bean salad and it was a big hit. 1 can black beans rinsed well,1 box frozen corn do not cook just run under warm water for a minute. Add about a 1/4 finely diced onion, green pepper and red pepper( add more or less to taste). Toss in lightly a 1/8 c of Wishbone Italian dressing (it's...

    I only meant to accomodate your needs 95% then maybe throw in something like a store bought equivalent for an alternative. I know none of my daughters friends will eat the gluten-free pasta's (NONE) I have tried the corn , the quinoa and Annies mac and cheese all her friends hate all of them. If I were making a gluten-free pasta salad maybe I would buy...

    Interesting quiestion about the food. I agree mostly with everyone. I do however think there are exceptions to the rule. For instance I have been lucky enough to have friends who ask "what can your DD have that I can include or disclude into the menu for a party THEY are throwing" Now no one ever goes GLuten free completely but some have bought specialty...

    Ditto for us with the cc issue's, headaches and moodiness and red under the eyes are a pretty clear indicator of getting gluten. I know it's not coming from home but mostly from school. Particularly in the classroom where they still snack at their desks.. and the other day she came home with a clay model that contained gluten. No matter how many times you...

    When my DD is having a bad day I notice she has a lot of redness mostly below the eyes as if she has been crying. Is this a GLuten exposure sign?
  12. Mizzo
    Is ANyone else having bed-wetting issue's? My DD will be 8 in 4 wks. She had lots of day-accidents before diagnosis, those have stopped completely except for when she gets glutened. She has not been dry for 2 nights in a row ever. We are getting her up at 10:30 at night to use the bathroom , she get's nothing to drink after dinner and she still wets...

    A friend of mine who is not Celiac is looking for a good Brownie recipe that is egg and dairy free for her Allergen kids. Anyone got one?
  14. Mizzo
    Normally I would agree except our co-leader in charge of the menu is a NURSE . She should know better. Also, I personally have volunteered and organized a few events and I have even worked with the camp coordinator on a few things in the past. So I think they should of considered calling me when they were making sure everything was peanut and egg free...

    Hi, Mostly this will be a rant but feel free to chime in. We have a day camper Girl scout event coming up 8am till 8pm ( not doing sleepover because DD still bed wets and kids will taunt ) Anyways we NEVER got a call from co-leader who was planning menu so that goes without saying nothing gluten-free there to help me out with and menu was emailed...

    Here is my $.02. An endoscopy is NOT very invasive my 7 yr old had it done and It was harder on me than her. BTW my mother had it done as an adult and again, not invasive. We only got the dx note because of the Endo. and we NEEDED that note . I DO NOT allow the school to feed my child because I don't trust the cross contamination factor BUT because...

    I agree as well, suggestive of early Celiac sounds exactly like confirmed and caught early. Blood work was the clincher. But if you are somehow stuck on the wording simply ask the Dr. to confirm it with you verbally.

    We have had this exact experience. I also went over procedures with the lunch staff . There are only 2 gluten-free items offered in our school, Ians nuggets (BIG YUCK) and gluten-free pizza crust they add sauce and cheese to, then bake on a designated pan. We tried the pizza 3 times, each time she had tummy ache and small bout of d. 1st we didn't know...

    camping: most important ALUMINUM FOIL and cooking spray believe me anything can be done with it. I freeze ahead pre marinaded chicken , steak or pork chops (THICK CHOPS or they will dry out) bring onion , peppers, mushroom and some whole potatoes, corn on cob or frozen bags of veggies if you are keeping a cooler steak with onion , peppers ,...

    Taoster waffles in oven Lower rack to 1 below top and set to broil Place foli, spray with non stick spray on rack put waffles on foil and toast each side till brown when you have time scrub your racks really well and keep them gluten-free and you can pop things on them without contamination fear for future use.

    You can buy toaster bags for the toaster. these are supposed to provide a gluten-free enviroment but after 1 or 2 boxes to could have bought a new toaster. There are plenty of mainstream alternaties but certainly not the healthiest . cereals: Chex Fruit and cocoa pebbles cereals kix if you mix with a natures path cereal you get more fiber and...

    reasons for a diagnosis: School If you want to get him on a gluten-free lunch program in school you must have a Dr's note, then file for the lunch program. My DD cannot eat the gluten-free food our school offers (only 2 choices and both tastes terrible) but the staff will microwave her food, giving us a bigger variety for meals because she is diagnosed...

    First and foremost everything gets easier over time so don't waste too much time worrying, Although we all did. :-) some of our favorite brands for non-natural foods; Cereals : Chex has multiple flavors that are gluten free and Fruity pebbles and Cocoa pebbles are gluten free. Natures path and Envirokids( higher in fiber and protein ) has a couple...

    Heres one from my recipe book for panckes 1 egg 1 1/2 c cornstarch 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 c oil 1/4 tsp salt 2 tbl sugar 1 c milk 1/4 tsp xanthum gum 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

    You could make some gluten-free Bisquick biscuits halved and buttered with turkey rollups with sprouts and hummus or Ham and pickles. or use Udi's bagels sliced in half again hortizontally, this makes a better sandwich than their gluten-free white bread, IMO. Schar makes some nice table crackers, these are a cross between a low salt saltine and a club...
