    Just wanted to update after my last post regarding Better Batter. I made Tollhouse Chocolate Chip cookies with butter and eggs along with Better Batter last night and I was very pleased with the results. Now to just find a good recipe that is both gluten-free and vegan...

    Better Batter is the only flour mix I've ever used (besides recently trying out Pamela's for pancakes) and I haven't been satisfied with the taste. Probably b/c I'm also subbing out dairy and eggs since my non-Celiac daughter is allergic to them. I would love to use Pamela's mix for baking but it contains milk, so it wouldn't work for our whole family. I...

    Thanks for the info on McDonald's fries. I always assumed they were a no-no but this is something to consider!

    I bought them last week from Amazon. At the time they were $2.98 a box for a 4-pack with the Subscribe & Save discount but now they appear to be $3.38 each w/ the discount. My kids loved making Rice Krispies treats with them and I thought they tasted very similar to the regular ones (I myself can have gluten, just not my son). I did have a bowl of cereal...

    Yes, that is what I buy my son as well! He loves it!

    My favorite gluten-free flour mix for Tollhouse Chocolate Chip cookies is Better Batter (same baking time as regular cookies and they still bake up well). I also sub out Fleishmann's Unsalted margarine for the butter, EnerG egg replacer for the eggs, and dairy-free chocolate chips and they still taste great.

    My son was 22 months when diagnosed via biopsy. His bloodwork (at 19 months and 21 months) also came out positive. His only symptoms were slow weight gain and a lot of stinky diapers each day. Good luck to you!!

    When I make our favorite cheesy garlic bread, I use Udi's bagels for my son's.

    That's what I gathered too. And it doesn't need the second rise cycle too, I think.

    Hi there- I wound up programming additional time to the gluten free setting and it worked out well! The first knead cycle was 5 minutes, the second 15, the rise time was 20 minutes, and the bake time was 65 minutes (which I then added 5 more minutes to b/c I wanted it to brown up a little bit more). Since this was my first time making it in the breadmaker...

    Hi everyone, I just received the Breadman TR2700 for Christmas and want to make the Gluten Free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread with it. I've never used a breadmaker before so I wanted to ask the pros about this! I saw that the Gluten Free setting on the breadmaker was for a 1.5 lb. loaf instead of a 2 lb. loaf. Does anyone have any tricks on how to make...

    That is great to hear! I'm going to hopefully buy a Breadman for a Christmas present to myself and am anxious to try it out on my just about two-year-old as well. My friend also recommended the Gluten-Free Pantry sandwich bread, which I tried making in the oven... first attempt didn't go so well. Did the bread bake well using the standard gluten-free...

    Thanks for the helpful thread. My 1.5 year old was just diagnosed with Celiac and I've been hunting for a gluten free stuffing, particularly one without dairy and egg as well since my three year old is allergic to those. EnerG bread looks like the perfect solution (and, from what I read on here, only use it for stuffing!).

    Hi there- my 19 month old tested positive to the celiac panel when he was 18 months. The doctor ordered it due to his slow weight gain and mild anemia. We have a follow up appointment with the pediatric GI doctor next month. We will see if he will have further bloodwork done then or a biopsy. From what I've heard on here, his results from the bloodwork definitely...

    My 3-year-old daughter had Kawasaki Disease this past June (had IVIG treatment on Day 4, thank goodness). I am finding this thread so interesting since my 19-month-old son is now in the process of being tested for Celiac and I am learning more about the relationship between of all of these autoimmune issues. I plan on having my daughter tested for Celiac...

    Hi there- I'm in a similar situation as you right now. My 19 month old son has a positive celiac panel and we are waiting for our first appointment with the GI doctor (next month), which will also be a consultation. Our pediatrician initially ordered the Celiac panel since his weight gain has slowed down and he's a little anemic. I am assuming that he...

    Thank you so much for your help!

    Will do. I am going to call the GI doctor next week (moving this weekend, fun!) and talk to them, but in the meantime- is there is a sequence of testing that they will do? More blood work and then a biopsy, or just a biopsy?
  20. sarahbella636
    After reading more about Celiac I really want our family to be tested, especially my husband, who has had unexplained migraines for basically all of his life. It it does turn out that more of us have it, I definitely want to bring an awareness to our extended family as well. I am so grateful for finding this site!
  21. sarahbella636
    Thank you so much for your responses! I'm a bit overwhelmed with the thought of avoiding gluten but I am happy that our pediatrician was cautious and tested him for it. I appreciate your help!

    Hi there- My 18 month old son recently had the celiac panel done b/c the doctor is concerned about his weight gain. He's 22 lbs, a little anemic, and has a few stinky diapers a day. The pediatrician called over the weekend and said that his test results came back with antibodies to gluten and that she recommends we go to see a ped GI doctor b/c he probably...
