    This is a personal observation not an advertisement. My husband grabbed this at the library and it is pretty good. If you don't cook from scratch,(which I have yet to master) , this gluten-free book offers way to doctor up a box mix to something more than regular. It's how to turn a cake mix into mufin, cookies and better than average cakes. Decide on...

    For soups or just braising liquid the brand " Kitchen basic" has stocks which are gluten-free and very full of flavor if you can't use the cubes , bases or powders. Try it and see if you can use it, if so it can be your crock pot base (or soup base)for most any meat and vegetable combination you can come up with. Throw in some fresh or dried herbs...

    We bought the gluten-free bisquick to try. These biscuit if made smaller than recipe calls for and if you form them to bun shape with made a pretty decent sandwich alternative. They are biscuit -like so they will not hold up to PB but egg salad, bologna and cheese whatever will be good. AND super easy to make.

    Chilling the dough definitely helps.

    Trying to protect your child or yourself from pain is not being overkill. Until your child is responsible enough to handle situations on their own you will have to champion the battle for them. That's what parents do. If you feel the need to explain, tell them your child needs a year sometimes longer to heal and for you to figure out her sensitivity level...

    Well a positive Ttg equals Celiac disease. I am not sure I follow the reasoning for the reintroduction but if you want to be accurate you should see a GI specialist as well. If you are not going to see a GI than you need to be clear on the reintroduction of foods. You should not change ANY thing else ( NO eating out, NO letting anyone else feed him, NO...

    I have used King arthur blend flour as a good substitute for basic PButter and sugar cookie recipes. You will need to add xantham or guar gum. I am finding guar gum to be less crumbly .

    Hi, if you goto forum topic "Gluten free foods that won't break the bank" lots of good cost effective idea's there. Also, how old is dx child? Can paper mache or playdoh be in the classroom ? If so you will need to replace with gluten-free. I moved my dd to an end table in her homeroom to reduce cc at the desks. They snack at their desks...

    My 7yr old girl was dx last April at that time she had a BMI of 92% , now it's 96% since going gluten free, which is in the extreme category. Too many bad carbs was introduced by myself and hubby, not to mention eating out at Outback too much at first also. We go to Pedi for a 6wk healthy lifestyle check up and we are now very mindful of what we eat and...

    Breadcrumbs come from my failed breads . Bob's bread is good enough for me or you can try Kinnikinnick buns. I like the quinoa / rice pasta for spaghetti and elbows.(Ancient harvest) The brown rice is ok for penne and spirals.(Bionatura) Haven't tried pizza crust yet but bought the King Arthur package, will let you know how it goes.. good luck...

    I also use Better than Bouillon chicken base .

    If you warm them in a microwave between moist paper towels, immediately fill, wrap and eat it may hold together for the first 2 bites. Sorry, they are not made to be eaten like a burrito they are great enchilada style or fried as mentioned above and topped and eaten pizza like. I have heard if you make your own( yeah, not for me, too much work) they are...

    Many of you have probably tried the new Udi's bagels if not, you must. My girls doesn't eat it a s a bagel but loves them as other bread/sandwich platforms. Slice one half (horizontally) in half again (they are really big) and 1 bagel becomes 2 burger buns or sandwich rolls. It doesn't matter about there being no crust on one side they are good anyway...

    There are black bean brownie recipes out there also(Weight watchers had one) maybe you can find a gluten-free version also. If he needs protein.

    I have made both the King Arthur and Betty crocker cookies mixes. They are good but definitely not thin and crispy. I know what you what and those are not it. I have made CC Tollhouse recipe with King Arthur gluten-free flour(not cookie mix ) and it absolutely spreads and gets crispy. My hubby loves it that way so he really enjoyed. I prefer the soft cookie...

    The presentation is an excellent idea. Include providing handouts and example hidden gluten ingredients sheets to give them a understanding that's it's just not wheat as so many people think. Our school has a lot of PTO driven events which have snacks/food. I provided them a iist of gluten-free snacks that can be bought at local grocers for those events...

    I just posted this for someone else For the teacher: A tip, have you child moved to an end seat in her group if they are set up desk to desk or at tables. This immediately reduces the risk of contamination by 50% without segregating them. All kids sitting next to and across from her must also be told to wash after snack, lunch and arts and crafts....

    Now that my dd is gluten free 8 months , whenever she gets a contamination it is just as bad as before going gluten-free. She has diarrhea for 2 days, belly pains and gets very emotional. Mad, sad, easily distracted etc.. Playdoh definitley caused 2 of her episodes, cross contamination at snack time was also a contributor. For the teacher: A tip...

    Also, It seems your water to flour ratio is a bit on the high side. I don't have the magic number but try reducing it.
  20. Mizzo
    Ditto, their Snickerdoodle and Brownie bites are the best prepared cookies, for when you really want to treat yourself.

    IMO Mixes: Hate Bobs red mill anything. the bean flour flavor really comes out. Love Pamela's choc. cake and pancakes Love King Arthur blends, cookies, muffins and used their all purpose gluten-free flour for pb cookies and roll out cookies and pancakes. All good. Betty crocker is fair in a pinch but definietely crumbly. Market basket has an ok...

    Follow up. for last 3 days: I am using Lactaid milk only, am using active enzyme only yogurt and hard cheeses. Is that enough because it maybe slowed down a smidge but not much. How many days before I see a difference? any idea's
  23. Mizzo
    YES it the hardest thing a parent can do. We all had to wait for the test, and it is very hard, BUT you have to ask yourself, everyday, can we do this for 30 days to get an answer so we never have to do it again for the rest of our lives!!!!! The only reason so many people get the test when going gluten free has already proved there is a problem is ...

    I have not tried this but Lipton makes and instant cream of chicken soup that is gluten-free. It's the packets. BTW Progresso makes a gluten-free cream of mushroom soup.

    Garfava flour is a mix of garbanzo bean and fava bean flour It's a typical mix used in many Bobs red mill products and in gluten-free recipes. So it's not the same , it's a part of the it. Hopefully others will chime in about substituting.
