    It's going to be hard to tell if it's 2yr old behavior, being on vacation behavior ( fun , exercise, overstimulation) or Celiac behavior if he is not showing belly or stool problems. IMO only use paper plates for him and as a cutting board and plate, only use plastic utensils that get thrown away after each use, and ziplock everything with a do not touch...

    Hi Riceguy, I do not have sweet potato flour and cannot bring myself to make a $3 purchase with a $8 shipping fee and I am fully stocked in all other gluten-free cooking supplies or else I would tag onto the order and make myself feel better about it. So.... I mentioned this to my local health food store owner who does not carry Barry Farms supplies and...

    I fully encourage the list making idea. Even setting up columns like: protein - starch - veg - fruit - fat/oil This will make putting together a meal easier. It may not look like a traditional one but meals just need to cover the food groups NOT look like your neighbors dinner table. The reoffer of a dismissed food is really important ...

    imo going gluten-free immediately starts to put your system back in natural working order. I say this because my 7 yr old was on the opposite end of the charts with celiac disease. She has been in the 95th -98th percentile for wt and ht for over 2 years now and she has been gluten-free about 2 months and has finally leveled out with no weight gain. We were...

    I believe YOU misread the statement .

    We actually had a Mcdonalds employee tell us not to get the fries as the oil is absolutely cross contaminated . If asked The manager is required to say the FF are gluten free and they take great care in cleanliness, but cannot guarantee with 100% certainty the CC will not occur. I have heard Red Robin is very clean, considerate and have a designated...

    HI, This may be completely different but; My daughter 7 has been G.F. for 9 weeks. At 7 weeks she was still having daily pains and we put her on Prevacid. Now tummy pains gone. We're actually not sure if it's the Prevacid or just her tummy healing but trying a Antacid can't hurt. It worked in 3 days.

    Riceguy, I need help in NOT making bricks. Can you or anyone tell me exactly, like I have never cooked before how to make your gluten-free bread. FYI: I am mixing by hand and cooking in a pyrex dish in my oven. How much tsp (not gram ) yeast per c. flour mix, how much guar gum & p.husk per c. flour mix to use, how long to rise (which...

    Rice guy, I agree it's a matter of taste. The recipes from the cookbook I have use oil and shortening and we think they do taste very good. My daughter (the celiac disease) doesn't like buckwheat so that's a no also. I will keep trying different things! I am trying your bread (new heights post) recipe with a few changes based on what I have in the...

    I am more looking to replace : oil in blueberry muffins Shortening in Choc. chip cookies I cut half the oil in pancakes with yogurt and it worked out ok. I will not use sugar substitute so I am ok there. I often substituted Applesauce/yogurt for oil or whites for eggs in the past. Of course the texture changed but acceptably so. Also, I always cut out...

    Hi all, I am new to gluten-free baking. I would like to substitute low fat/cal for ingredients but it seems gluten-free baking is a delicate procedure. Has anyone successfully substituted Applesauce for oil? I am using Annalise Robert baking recipes with success but all her recipes are high in fat and calories and my celiac disease is in the 98th percentile...

    All the above are great idea's. I often send in a dinner leftovers for lunch. They do not need heated meals so room temp foods are perfect for them. invest in some kid friendly containers that can be microwaved. and a lunch bag with separate compartment's. I would pack a meal, nuke it and put in the lunch bag right away as is, no ice pack, and it...

    If you like oatmeal. The night before you can get gluten-free oats put into a container fill with water till just reaches oat tops, add raisin, coconut, nuts whatever, stir and cover. Keep in frig till next morning, then nuke it in the microwave or even take to work and heat up there. I even toss a dollop of yogurt on top. But "traditional breakfasts...

    Hi, The Cocoa pebbles is ok, that was part of our parenting test by our nutritionist. I don't know about the Fruity pebbles because we dont eat them. FYI our Walmart carries Envirokids at the cheapest price $2.98 box Here is General Mills response when I asked about Trix and Kix. Thank you for contacting us about gluten in Trix and Kix cereals...

    We have a gluten-free and a peanut and a Lactose allergy in our troop. I agree there is more understanding when there are multiples to deal with. Due to our many allergens there is nothing besides fruit and veggies our girls can all share together without it being homemade so I (gluten-free mom) always pack my girl her own that way the others can share 1...

    I haven't use this but have eaten muffins and cookies used with Namaste gluten-free flour mix. I was told by the baker they used it cup for cup with their wheat flour recipes. good luck

    Here's a couple , Slice a banana lengthwise while in peel. Spread P.Butter in center and wrap in plastic and freeze. When ready cut into slices and remove peel. Keeping the peel off just make it easier it has no other purpose. Banana , yogurt, dash of milk and, Choc. or Strawberry sauce in blender makes a nice smoothie. Cover banana in PButter...

    We are 7 weeks gluten-free and this is what we have found. Tostitio's corn chips , the rounds with slices of cheese are a favorite here. Utz brand chips, cheese puffs and potato sticks say gluten free right on the back on their safe flavors. Quaker rice cake say gluten-free on them also for safe flavors my girl likes the Caramel and Chocolate Newmans...

    Hi Sarah, Firstly understand every Celiac case is different. As much as I hated to hear that from our Doc it's true.I have talked to many adults and parents of celiac disease and they all had a different recovery story, anywhere from 5 days up to 2 months. but eventually everyone gets there. It takes 6 months to a year+ for the Villi to grow back completely...

    Hi all, I was at a health food store Saturday picking up some cooking stuff and they had a bread sample they were giving out. It was Udi's White sandwich bread. I have never seen or heard of this before. But then again we have only been gluten free for 6 weeks. Anyways my 6 yr old loved it. I honestly could make a PB&J with it with out having to toast...

    Hi, My 6 yr olds only symptoms were constipation and belly pains and she is in the 98th percentile for ht and wt also. So yes the Celiac symptoms are varied. Our GI was running a battery of blood tests which was how we were diagnosed (the constipation was going on it's year and half mark). Then she was scoped. If you really want the scope done which...

    My daughter went gluten free 1 month ago based on positive blood work and scope. She still has daily tummy pain, although shorter in length and intensity. A common thread I read about was dairy intolerance. Just wondering if this is very common or not. I very specifically asked the nutritionist this question and her response was "Do not take her off...

    This is our first summer with celiac disease in the family. I usually go camping(at a family camp park) with the friends and family every summer. We have ability to cook on stove top but it is a shared option with 3 other families none of which have celiac disease or any allergies . Any suggestions for making this happen at least somewhat smoothly. Thanks...

    Hi, My celiac disease child which was recently diagnosed at 6 1/2 was also a carb addict. Also only ate carrots and 1 tbls of peas or green beans for her veggie. We have recently graduated to mini cuke slices with lots of ranch dressing , this I am sad to say excites me. I am going to start making different gluten-free muffins and breads to substitute...
