    Hi all, I experimented today after watching an espisode of "DC Cupcakes" this week, where the bakers made a cupcake pan version of mini biscuit pizzas. This recipe is a sweet twist on pizza; shaped like a traditional cupcake it calls for Gluten Free Bisquick's shortcake recipe as its base. Here's how I made them: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Use a non...

    Us too! Looks like our pantries are the same. It gets so much easier after several months on the diet; we've been on it since June for my six yr old...definitely I've had some surprises, exhausted moments and frustrations, but its sort of leveling out now that we have our "staples" down. She loves Udi's bread products and I keep a lot of their frozen pizza...

    Thank you both...it makes sense to me, and I was surprised that her doctor looked at me funny when I made that observation. Makes perfect sense; I'll keep paying attn. to these "episodes" to consider the possibility of accidental glutening. Em

    Hi all, I've shared before that my 6 yo daughter Grace was asymptomatic of celiac right through the positive biopsy. She did have thyroid disease as a result of undiagnosed celiac, but no stomachaches or headaches, etc. I mentioned to the GI this summer that about 8 wks into the gluten free diet, if Grace had accidentally ingested gluten (which in the...

    Taryn's mom I just saw your post this morning, and felt bad you didn't have any responses..my guess is that is becz there is no clear answer here. Yes, a child should be eating gluten for at least a cpl mos. to get an accurate biopsy. I don't know if heavily glutening her prior to one would give you an optimum result. My advice would be to consult with...

    Hi Mizzo, I just read your post...I am trying to think of mainstream,less expensive gluten-free snacks that are prepackaged. I'm coming up with: Pirate Booty Fruit by the Foot Envirokids chocolate "krispy" bars (there is a coupon out everywhere for buy 2 boxes get 1.50 off) Glutino pretzels Annie's gluten-free bunny fruit snack packs I can think...

    PS - I just read your note again, and Grace would also love to meet Isabel, even tho she's 10. Grace will be 7 in two wks. She'll think of Isabel as a big kid and that will be "cool" meeting someone a little older who has this too. So if you did ever want to meet for coffee or a playground thing after school some Friday we'd love it! - E

    Hi Cathy, Wow, that would be great! And yes, we'd love to come. Since that posting in June, my daughter did wind up getting introduced to another little girl - same age - and same town, who also has celiac; thanks to Children's Hospital. So that has been a blessing and the mom has been a great help to me w/ my many questions. I don't know if she'll...

    Hi there, As far as the Purell goes, our school has the kids use antibiotic hand wipes pre snack and lunch, but I asked them to have Grace use her own as I got a gluten free school supply link sent to me a while back and it mentioned Purell was gluten-free. I do want her to handwash after arts and crafts or anything messy like that. Maybe I rushed in...

    Sorry, trying to follow the part about the Reese's Pieces...are you saying they were glutened? Reese's are on a lot of published gluten free lists and I bake with their peanut butter chips. Let me know what you meant if you don't mind. Thanks.

    I had a meeting w/the school last week to go over accomodations that mirrored a 504 plan. Because my child's at a private school, the plan couldn't be "forced" upon the school, but I did put in for accomodations. They were incredibly supportive and receptive. They included: my daughter using her own gluten-free art supplies (most every child in this school...

    PS - This is a great link; I did use it today and thank you and several others who provided me with it!!!

    Welcome, Becky...you'll find a lot of support and good info. here. Hope the kids stay well. Emily

    Thank you...for some reason, its just all too much today and I finally had a meltdown seconds ago and cried from the bottom of my heart. I had to be up till about midnight researching and preparing for a massive school meeting today with all of the key players at her elementary school this afternoon; following her surgery. The meeting went fine, but my stress...

    Hi there My 6 yo had oral surgery today and is, seven hrs later, still vomiting, pale and having a terrible time. Her surgeon is aware of the celiac diagnosis, but told me on the phone tonight that she's most likely reacting so terribly becz of the GI complexities of celiac and not necessarily any contamination in surgery. That said, she was given multiple...

    Thank you, Lisa, unfortunately the second link isn't working but I can open the first.

    Hi everyone - I have a couple of questions. Help! I have an important meeting with the staff at my child's school -- originally scheduled for a week from now, and they've moved it up to tomorrow --, and thought I would download the celiac disease informational sheets for her school to bring along w/me. Unfortunately, the link is not working at our local...

    In the New England area, we've been seeing a tummy bug going around and it lasted over a week for diarreah. Could be something like that..maybe give it a couple of days and if it continues, you know it is not any kind of flu bug but a dietary issue. I hope it works out for you. BTW: I also had the stomach thing, my celiac daughter did as well, and neither...

    Maureen, thank you for the info. I just saw your post. Em

    Hi Stephanie, I sure hope your little one is feeling better after the bread ingestion. Accidental glutening is bound to happen; we just went through something similar this week but it was my fault. I didn't panic, just felt bad about it and realized these things are bound to happen from time to time. I think we have to remember that these little guys...

    Karen, I may have missed a post on this a while back, but I think you were waiting on biopsy results last time I looked...did you get them back? Hope everything went ok. Emily

    Good for you...trust your mom instincts. We really have to be our own medical advocates these days, esp for our little ones...will say a prayer for you that you find the right dr and get the answers you need. Keep us posted. Emily

    Oh, that is a tough age to be diagnosed. As hard as it is with a 6 yr old, I'm sure its more of a heartache for a 7th grader. Let us know how she makes out. I'll be thinking of you and of your daughter. Emily
