    BTW, for your pie cravings, crumble up a bag of any gluten free cookies real good. Mix them up with a couple tablespoons of melted butter and put it in the bottom of a pie plate. Save a little of it for a topping. Put in your favorite filling if you don't mind the canned or boxed kind, then add the remaining crumbles... Maybe add whipped cream on top.

    I'm just sorry for all of your pain. I have a gluten-free son to feed and I worry about him being on his own in a few years. It's not easy! He fills up with lots of gluten free oats with milk every day!!! I know- not THE best, but he gets so hungry and wants something quick. Praying for you. You can get through this.

    That is very unique. My poor gluten-free cousin works in doc's office where pharm. reps bring in lunch and goodies everyday and never anything gluten free, even though it is on the signup calendar. I tell her to put "Dr." before her name and see if that gets their attention! But good for those people who thought of you. Doesn't it make all of us want to...

    You can do this!!!

    So I think an angel can come from above and tell me she is not celiac and I would stick to this diet no matter what. Her pediatrician says I'm a littlebit crazy and stuburn because my daughter was "perfectly fine" "there's nothing wrong with her" but NOW I can say that, NOW THAT SHE'S GLUTEN FREE LOL! My kids' docs thought I was crazy too. Funny...

    Camp went GREAT! I called the kitchen ahead of time and they actually were trained in how to handle gluten free diets! They even told me how to pack his food. It was expensive - I spent about $170 on gluten free foods for a week, but - they were mostly prepacked, meal sized and microwavable. I got a list of the menu and tried to pack food similar to what...

    Hi Alexa! I'm glad your daughter is better! And GOOD FOR YOU MOM for tracking down some causes. You must love her a lot, and you've saved her from likely YEARS of sickness, poor performance, and even early, painful death. I also have a 10 year old daughter who is gluten free, as am I and my 12 year old son. Lots of sage advice on here from people...

    I'm getting worried:( Will think thru all of this. His symptoms are not as bad as mine and my daughter's, he gets more tired than anything if glutenated. Still, it would take away from the fun. Thanks for these tips though. Being the adventurer he is, he's got to learn to travel and eat gluten-free, like you do Victoria. And thanks for the camp counselor...

    Any tips on sending a week's worth of food to camp on a bus? My plan so far is to label everything by meal and day and pack it in dry ice. College kids will be running the kitchen and my son will not be allowed to prepare his food. A lot of things on the camp menu he can eat, so I'm just subbing the things he can't, like parmesian chicken, burritos, roast...

    I always give my kids tylenol when we get glutenated. It seems to help, along with lots of water. I've read 1% of people will get our diet, and we are to worship the ground they walk on.

    Great pudding tip! Thanks! And yes - we love betty crocker. I've relied on her cake mixes, and some non gluten-free kids thought it was "okay", but when I made this other recipe before the kids thought it was better than wheat cake. So - you know kids - the last thing I want is for her friends to go "yuck!" Good luck with the party and that cake! Happy...

    Great idea on the icing! It will make it a nice pink - perfect for a group of 10 year old girls.

    Thanks Jeannie - You helped me realize that I should double the recipe for a cake, because this is only for 12 cupcakes. So thank you! I'd love your choc cake recipe when you have time to write it down. - Bobbie

    Oops - sorry. It is 1-1/4 cup of the flour mix

    My daughter turns 10 Friday, and she wants these gluten-free cupcakes in a recipe book for her class birthday party. That is no problem, but for a birthday cake later that night, she also asked if I could do the cherry recipe. I am not an improv baker, and as expensive as the flours are I don't want to mess up! So what do you think - would this cupcake...

    Amen sister.

    My kids are on each side of me reading this drooling. Thank you!

    I was wondering the same thing - so went to store yesterday and found the cheesecake mixes. I am thinking of just using that and instead of the graham cracker crust, making some gluten free cookies, crumbling them up and substituting those in place of graham crackers - you know, the kind of crust where you melt it with butter, add a little sugar. I did...

    What is it with sisters? I had the same issue and I have decided not to be in the same room with her again. It means we will not see that part of the family on Thanksgiving, and my mom is so upset. But you know, that's okay. Peace is a good thing. We are actually going hiking instead on Thanksgiving and then over to some other relatives on the day after...

    Here is a really great reason to keep hounding your relatives to get tested: The more people who find out are gluten intolerant, the more safe food choices at holidays! Last year, there were 4 of us on a gluten-free diet, and yes, I got contaminated. This year - more than half of the people at the event are on a gluten-free diet and we are planning on...

    I would get to the store, buy the quick food stuff that I could eat, like lunch meat, cheese and gluten-free crackers, lots of fruit and then get a styrofoam ice chest and just keep my own chest of food. Then to make up for everyone thinking that is really weird, I would spend the time just cooking their food for them, serving and cleaning up. They will...

    I wondered why my 9 year old daughter kept getting sick after eating at On the Border. Thanks!
  23. Bobbie Jo
    This really shocked me. I am so glad really that we don't get all of the info about what we can't eat upfront, because it's just too overwhelming. But I'm so glad to know this. I asked the deli guy if he could clean the blade and he was glad to, but then I saw how much trouble it was and just asked if I could buy the entire thing of meat that was still...
  24. Bobbie Jo
    Ohhh! Got ya. It is sad. I think next time I'll just have my husband eat mine or something.
  25. Bobbie Jo
    Oh my sweet friend Shroom - don't tell me that you think we're poison! (Although many of the false Christians are - as are those who get trampled on by temptation )
