FYI, The safest way is to wrap a burger in foil and cook it like that. You can cover the grill plate and poke holes but then you have to still worry about CC from the rest of the grill. BTW burgers in foil come out looking like grey hockey pucks, they basically steep in the foil packet, sorry. Watch them closely, don't overcook them. good luck

Mizzo posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs

She feels great and her son is not using his inhaler regularly and she believes it's due to this product. Its dehydrated fruits and veggies in capsule and/or gummy form and claims to be gluten free... -
ARCHIVED No Cheese Pizza- Please Help
Mizzo replied to alex11602's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
FYI, Amy's makes a single serve gluten free, dairy free pizza. If you can find this it may be worth trying. From what I've seen the cost of soy cheese or cheese substitutes (sheese) run about the same as this pizza. -

ARCHIVED gluten-free Daughter, Frequent Stomach Pain
Mizzo replied to Barganzs's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Have you rechecked every food item for changes? A while ago we used to use Ovaltine then out of the blue my DD was having Diarhea problems I noticed the label changed and sure enough it changed factories and is now being processed in a facility that processes Wheat. Sometimes you just never know till you reread all the labels. -
ARCHIVED Pediatric Use Of Miralax
Mizzo replied to seezee's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My DD had impactions with a stretched colon and we used this for over a year and occasionally had to do Pepto Bismal on weekends for extra clean outs. Going gluten-free changed it pretty quickly. We stopped using it almost immediately. With no problems except the normal CC issue's -
ARCHIVED Clever Kid Using celiac disease To Stay Home From School . . .

My DD has done a lot of "I'm not feeling well enough to go to school today" And no : TV, video games or a trip to the DR's , will deter her, and I know she is faking it at least some of the times. I tell her no fever = no stay home from school. The nurse and I are on first name basis and she agrees with my standing. We have an understanding( only if... -
ARCHIVED 1 Year In And Numbers Aren't Where They Should Be
Mizzo replied to Gluten Free Girls's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Is gluten still being consumed in the house ? If so something is getting into their diet. As stated above check meds,vitamins, shampoos body wash etc.. check all dressing, marinades and mixed spices. Make sure shared colanders, toaster, and /or double dipping into open shared jars is not occurring. Your younger dx may be more sensitive so you... -
ARCHIVED Introduction And A Question...
Mizzo replied to Ladyrhedd's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Yes as Lisa said, very bad idea to go gluten free before testing it completely skews the results. FYI , It does not sound good of your GI for suggesting this. Question what kind of specialist are you seeing because for Celiac you see a GI which you seem to under the care of already. BTW 1 week gluten free is not long. Adding xantham gum to gluten... -
ARCHIVED My Challenging 5 Year Old
Mizzo replied to Nads4kids's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Yes my daughter was highly emotional, short tempered , cried easily and sensitive . The symptoms started to disappear within 2 weeks of going gluten free. Took 8 weeks for a close to full change. I need to ask, what Celiac treatments are you referring to? Here in the U.S. there are no "treatments" other than diet that I am aware of. -
ARCHIVED *sigh* Always Resistance
Mizzo replied to Mizzo's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
There are 16 kids with bag lunches and 2 full meals "THE KIDS" must prepare , serve and cleanup afterwards. So the less gluten the better was all I was going for. My main point being, that some people won't even open dialogue to discuss it. That's sad ! -

ARCHIVED Test Everyone?
Mizzo replied to cmdoppler's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
yes, test everyone ( the Dr usually suggests this) then let extended family know if anyone else shows up positive. My Aunt had stomach problems all her life and was finally dx at 64 (they never checked because she was overwt her whole life) -
ARCHIVED Confused By Gi
Mizzo replied to zapsmom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Get the blood work results in hand for your sanity. Dbl check with another Dr. DO NOT go by a dietician's phone call. There is no reason you cannot try going gluten free to see if it helps. If so, report results to GI and ask for Biopsy (after going back on gluten ). good luck -
ARCHIVED How Do You Eat At Camp?
Mizzo replied to dustynbob's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I would definitely ask the cooks how and what they prepare and unless you are thoroughly impressed with their knowledge and cleanliness I would pack my own frozen pre packed foods as well. -
My rice cooker also includes a steamer basket and I have included broth , tomaoes and bags of frozen veggies into the rice. No timer though . It's a Rival.
