  1. I have always written a introductory email to all my DD's teachers explaining a little about Celiac and my concerns. I always include the following info: 1.Please ask the children to wipe down their desks top to bottom. cleaning them side to side causing flinging of crumbs from desk to desk. 2, hand sanitizer does not kill gluten , please insure...
  2. My DD's school of approx 600 students has 5 students dx with Celiac, about 4 peanut allergens , quite a few vegetarians and egg ,other allergens. My girl has been in class with, or is friends with pretty much 1 of each food restriction. It definitely helps to expose kids to any or all food restrictions. to help them to not feel so isolated. The schools...
  3. Wellaby's makes a gluten-free Cheese up cracker that tastes like a puffed Cheez it. I found it once in an obscure store and haven't found it again. If you are lucky enough to come across them trust me, buy them, they will be gobbled up.
  4. Hi all, I need LOW CARB snack idea's that are peanut/nut free and since carrots and cukes are the only veggies my DD will eat raw nothing like salads etc.. for idea's please. My DD has a high BMI so I am trying to keep the carbs limited and she is veggie challenged so............ Any /all idea's welcome . Thanks.
  5. Sorry to hear of all your sons food issue's. This forum is full of info just search out a topic and it will lead you to a discussion on it. You listed items your son likes , Is that ALL that he eats for now? If so here's a few starters Chicken nuggets and tenders = Bell and Evans, Golden platter, Ians and Applegate all make gluten-free versions ...
  6. I love the idea , but... the problem I see is shipping will still cost a lot. For the cost of shipping I can buy a couple of pounds of rice flour/tapioca starch and mix it myself. It might work out as bulk purchases as it's tough to have 5 or 6 1 lb bags of assorted flours/starches on hand. Would you have options like resistant starch ...
  7. Hi, The Namaste chocolate is very good and not dry or gritty at all. Using coconut flour is a great low carb high protein alternative ( we make Elana's pantry Chocolate muffins often but they are usually denser (much) than non gluten-free cupcakes. It's very noticeable. good luck
  8. My DD was and still is in the 95th and 98th percentiles in ht and wt. She is 2 yrs gluten-free and we r struggling to get her BMI down some. I have read about 30% of Celiacs are on the higher end of the curve. With a great number of the population walking around undiagnosed I'll bet that number is at the very least right if not low. Many Dr's are...
  9. THe hungry stage for us last a couple of weeks as well as the the off and on pains. It's all part of healing . Every persons recovery is different and the "back to normal state" could take weeks to months . Is your girl and the other parents familiar and comfortable with eating gluten free. If not I think your is answer is clear, keep her home. Tell her...
  10. www.elanaspantry.com/flapjacks/
  11. Where did you get this brand I looked it up online and could not find it.
  12. The ratios are based on vast numbers, then averaged. In My family : My Aunt on moms side had it, we believe my mom had it before she died but neither me or my husband have it, but our only child does. I think you only hear about the families with more dx here because thats who joins the group. Of course I have 2 sisiter who don't believe they...
  13. Ditto, my family actually enjoys the KA brand chocolate cake and brownies and was disappointed I didn't bake for the last family event.
  14. I do a lot of grilling and since you can wrap anything in foil and it cooks in half the time it is fabulous. I will wrap sliced veggies (all types) in foil with some italian herbs and olive oil and in 10 minutes its done with no clean up. Chops, steak, chicken .burgers, Kielbasi etc.. it all cooks on the grill. If you cook a large batch of rice at the...
  15. I have had the exact same experience and have learned to reduce oven temp by 20+ degrees as well. I also switched to non-dark muffin pans.
  16. I buy the Envirokids cereal and mix them up with mainstream cereals. Like 1/2 leapin lemurs w/ 1/2 cocoa pebble 1/2 & 1/2 gorilla munch , chocolate chex Or 1/2 Erewon gluten-free corn flakes w 1/2 vanila sunrise from natures path
  17. We saw reduced tummy pain in a few days but it took almost 2 months for all of her anxiety, mood swings , constipation etc.. to fully subside. Every week my DD got a little better but really it took a few months for all of her daily problems to go away.
  18. Black bean salad 1/4 c. olive oil 2 tsp Italian spices 1-2 tsp lemon juice 1/2 tsp salt mix well pour over cold: 1 can Black beans 1 box frozen Corn 1/4 each red and green pepper diced 1/4 onion diced adjust amount of dressing to veggie salad to taste
  19. No Crayola or Rose Art Modeling clay but Crayola model magic is ok No macaroni art
  20. Many people mention protein powder what kind is Gluten free ?
  21. I would be very worried and would hand them my phone number on a card and tell them to call before straying from your request. Thats very concerning
  22. No she hasn't been tested but I will inquire to that in our next 4 week follow-up. Yes, your food thoughts are correct I have switched to olive oil/ grapeseed oil, started making my own granola with Almonds etc... ltd fructose and corn syrup etc... Which is why snacks for a 9 yr old are a bit difficult especially for camp /travel situations. Elana...
  23. I find that if you don't need have an Epi -pen people don't take it seriously. I also think many people just don't care enough to ask questions and learn about it. The most accommodating and understanding people are parents of other allergens and/or vegan and vegetarians. A friend of mines husband has meat protein allergies so there house is meat...
  24. Fruit kabobs with yogurt dip Chips and salsa gluten-free granola bars with yogurt dip Fruit rollups Pretzels dipped in chocolate or served with chocolate sauce /Nutella Veggie chips Chips, Cheese balls/puffs , Dorito's baked ,
