    Nope, no peanut allergies, PB is allowed in this classroom as well as in cafeteria. Can't make gluten-free rice krispie treats as marshmallow contain gelatin (animal product) and we have vegetarian in class.

    Ours allows home made. But I welcome both.

    Hi folks, I just became room parent for our classroom and was asked to head up food options for parties. Starting of course this week. We have an egg allergy, Celiac and strict vegetarian. I am going to talk to the parents but want to throw in some options as well. And yes I know fruit salad is always an option, but I want treat idea's...

    Don't forget to toss out the toaster as well. I also got rid of cupcake pans / baking pans that were well scratched. If you have a knife block consider replacing it also, I many times used to carelessly wipe the knife and put it back into the block without washing. Therefore, it would of been a haven for cross contamination. If you are taking your...

    I have used olive oil as a substitute in many recipes, it works fine but doesn't have as nice a flavor as butter.

    Since she is over 7 get her in for a blood test as fast as possible to see if her numbers indicate Celiac's. I say this as a piece of mind for you, and she is old enough the numbers should be accurate. Then start her Gluten free. Make a list of all the things she does like (REALLY MAKE A LIST) Sit down with it and see how creative you can be with...

    When we first went gluten-free we went with the corn pasta because they were readily available and cheap. Then we tried Bionatura and Tinkyada, no comparison, B and T are way better but they are also 2x the price of corn and 3x the price of wheat. Bionatura is our favorite but it runs about 3.79 a pound. I use Bionatura for spaghetti and pasta salads...

    Anyone know of gluten-free frozen meatballs. Once in a while when I forget to defrost I would like this option, anyone know of any brand that is gluten-free?

    No help here, just my story. We had np problem with the biopsy as our GI ordered it. However when it came to me and my husband getting the bloodwork on ourselves based on the GI recommendation our Primary care would not order the test due to lack of symptoms. So I suddenly ;-) had celiac like symptoms and insisted on the bloodwork (an aunt on my mom's...

    You will get lots of response but I am chiming in first. My 7 yr old girl was misdiagnosed for 1 1/2 yrs and finally tested and came back positive thru biopsy in April 2010 . It took nearly 2 months for the Tummy pain to disappear after going gluten-free with very little cross contamination. NO MEDICATION that I am aware of (short of narcotics) can...

    I have Annalise's Baking book and her recipe's are good, IMO. FYI I use regular brown rice flour not superfine. Of course using superfine would be better but still they are pretty good as is. Would you like a sample recipe to try ? Just a note about the book, this is a high fat, high caloric just like homemade, feel good baking recipe book . I tried...

    I think the point was to avoid the ridiculous shipping rates everyone charges. Le Garden charges 13.45 to my state for 1.1/2 lbs of their flour. The u.s.p.s. rate for regular shipping for up to 3lbs is roughly $5, I know because I checked today because I am planning on shipping some frozen UDI's to an Aunt with celiac disease who can't get it. So yes...

    Are you looking for adult meal plans only or kid friendly as well?

    HI everyone, Trying to keep within the Gluten free, peanut free , healthy snack, shelf stable, kid friendly and reasonably priced guidelines are tough. Thanks for a few great idea's. Maureen

    I have to supply up to 40 gluten-free snacks for several events. Can I supply Nature valley granola bars (oats and honey, and dark chocolate) and feel safe about it for others, we have no oat sensitivity. Any other idea's for a prepackaged, individually portioned snack, must fit into health and wellness category and will not break my bank account. Also...

    There is a bakery in Randolph, Mass. called ALLCANEAT it is completely gluten free, also has dairy and soy free options. I know they do cakes but don't know about wedding cakes. Call them and find out. www.allcaneatbakery.com I have been there and will say they are OK. not great but OK. IMO. BTW when I say Gluten free I mean it, the...

    I see abbeviations all the time and don't know what they mean.. 2 most common are: DS HS there are others.. What do they mean?

    If it's possible you can try putting all the boxed gluten containing snack foods out of reach or locked away. Since his siblings are younger I assume they are not allowed to go get whatever / whenever they want so it could help! My girl is 7 and she doesn't even know we have gluten foods because they are out of sight and out of reach. Good luck

    IMO these are great. It's a bit of work but what gluten-free cooking isn't. the "OR " options just lighten up the fat content, either way works great. sub the white for brown rice flour, and try a a half batch if you want. My girl hates zucchini and loves these muffins, I processed the veggies and it worked nicely. CARROT ZUCCHINI MUFFINS 2/3 cup...

    Anyone have good experiences with their kids with the GI's at Hasbro. We are diagnosed and just want to swap off for follow-up stuff away from Boston

    I made the 1 minute bun. Did I not cook it long enough or should I use less that 2 egg whites because mine was the texture of spongecake, almost wet sponge cake. but surprisingly tasty considering the few ingredients and ease of cooking.
  24. Mizzo
    Maybe you should consider investing in your own bowls , a few pans and maybe a mini fridge so that you can feel safe with your foods. I bought a mini fridge for traveling with my gluten-free girl and you can fit a lot in it and you wouldn't have to worry about cc. Just a thought.

    I personally use ginger for my severe motion sickness. Ginger is a natural herb used for many stomach upset problems and is fairly safe. I take 2 capsule if you wanted you could try 1 to start and see if it helps. or even try tea add some lemon or honey for flavoring. Peppermint is another all natural ingredient that eases upset stomach. If you have...
