I'm curious about whether the gluten-free products I feed my son are truly completely gluten free. Here are the gluten-free foods he often eats:
-Yoplait vanilla yogurt
-Erewhon's version of rice crispies
-the gluten-free rice crispies
-gluten-free cinnimon Chex cereal
-Welch's fruit snacks
-Walmart's Great Value brand fruit cups
-Walmart's cheese
-Fruity pebbles
-Kinnikinick cookies
-Enjoy Life cookies
-Classico pasta sauce
-Minute white rice microwaveable bowls
Has anyone reacted to any of these products before?
The ones I bolded I HAVE NOT used so I can not answer about those but the others I have eaten with no problems at all. Many of the items you listed are either dairy products or products that would be eaten with dairy ie. cereals. Perhaps he has an issue with dairy? Is your home gluten free? He could be getting CC from gluten items others eat or use if your not really careful. Also is he a little person who plays with stuff like Playdoh? Some of those types of things are not safe for us to use.

I would agree with the above. In addition, I have had all the bold items without a problem with exception to the white rice bowls. I have never had these.

It definitively can, but doesn't mean it will.

Never!!! It's the seasoned part that makes it good...aka cooking in the goodness of gluten baked in yummy. My husband has his own for gluten foods and I have one of non gluten foods.
I do use my non cast iron cookware for both gluten and gluten-free foods.

Everyone is different. Some are super sensitiveness and can't eat things even made on the same lines...others are not.
Cheating with no effects....I wish! Yeah any time I eat anything with gluten I suffer. No and's if's or buts!
Yes effects can be delayed up to a couple of days.
A month is not enough time. I've been gluten free 9 months and some of my signs just went away last week.

Funny you ask. I bought some Udi's yesterday. So far that's my recipe.
I know someone here has one. Google gluten free cinnamon rolls recipe and I'm sure you'll find several.
I think I saw a box mix yesterday - one of those where you can make 5+ things with it. I'll think about it and see if I can figure it out.
We do the same thing. My mom tries very hard to find me something good to eat...she's even gone out and researched ways to make things taste yummy so I really appreciate her work. I also don't think it's right to tell them not eat a tradition that has happened for 30 years because that's not fair them to them either. However I would DIE for a cinnamon roll on Christmas morning...I'm looking forward to someone finding a recipe.

Yes fatigue is definitely a symptom! Also, do you have something called brain fog? That's another sign and they typically go hand in hand.

While Chili's gets pretty good ratings on allergy and gluten-free accommodations, I would still offer at least a hint of caution using California Pizza Kitchen and Applebee's as examples.
CPK just rescinded their gluten-free menu, recognizing that they didn't know how to handle CC. Applebee's has all kinds of allergen and sensitivity menus, but get some of the absolute worst ratings in our community because the staff is not properly trained on gluten-free, allergies, CC, or even proper order-taking from those of us who need a little understanding during the ordering process.
My fear is that Chili's is basically the same as these others - overly casual sit-down dining with a very high staff turnover rate of young kids.
That said, I rarely eat there and again, Chili's has good community ratings as a whole so far.
Good luck.
First ...I would NEVER order from CPK!! Too dangerous.
The Chilli's by my house is actually really good. I ordered a chicken dish. The waitress came back and told me that they had recently added chips to the dish. The chef had told her to come out and ask me if I wanted them or not because they made their own chips in the fryer and there may be cc with that. This really impressed me that they would be that aware.

Some fruits are dusted with corn. Maybe this is causing your head aches when eating some fruit? Some fruits or brands may have more than another.

They suggested Pie Hole, Lou Malnati's, and Rocco Ranalli's. Any feedback on these places would be great. Thanks.
The only one I know of that you listed is Lou Malnati's. I have not had their gluten free version...only the non gluten-free before I went on the diet. I am a Giradono's Fan personally but sadly Giradono's does not currently have gluten-free pizza.
. In Chicago you are either a Giradono's or Lou's fan...never both
Lou Malnati's is a higher class of restaurant as far as pizza places go so they may have knowledgeable chefs there who may cut down on cc, but that would just be a guess. My fav gluten-free is Barroco's though. Sorry I couldn't help more. In Chicago we have soooo many pizza places that no one could possibly know them all! There literally thousands of them!

She's an infant, about a year. My sister works at a "fancy" day care so they do a lot of accommodations. Thanks for the ideas!
-
Nope...no problems here. This is the only ice cream I eat!
-
Where in Chicago did they suggest? I am from the area and eat at Barraco's and Palermo's all the time without any issues. Like Skylark, I am not ultra sensitive, but cannot eat things from fryers because of cc. I've had no problems with Aurelio's, but I don't care for their type of pizza. It's a more fluffy crust and in my experience fluffy + gluten-free never works! The other two both serve a thin crust.
-
So this is a little different type of question, but I think you guys might be able to help as well since you are a boat load of information!
My sister works in a day care and one of her infants is soy and dairy free. She is just introducing foods to the baby and was looking for some good baby starter foods that fit these two because she is running out of ideas and asked me for help. However I am only gluten-free. She CAN have gluten. I know that we all are focused on gluten free here, but I thought that I might be able to get some ideas from you guys who are dairy and soy free to help her.
Any ideas are appreciated!
-
eh, the type of food they cook in those isn't like pasta and its love of getting into tight unabletobecleaned spaces.
Agreed. I would eat them, but that's just me.

You guys are making me hungry!!! PB and rice cakes are my fav way to eat them
-
If you want to walk down the aisle with pride, "walk" the full sugar and full fat ice cream out to the dumpster. Try dark chocolate to feed that sweet tooth instead.
I keep squares of dark chocolate and a jar of peanut butter in hand. I usually have one square a night with a touch of pb. It soothes my need for junk food. I find that allowing myself one square a night removes the temptation of going on binges of it. I also do not eat it in the kitchen where I would be tempted to eat more! I wait until I'm in another room to bite into it. For me it's all about tricking my brain into the game!

I am not officially diagonised either. My tests were negative, but being gluten-free made me feel so much better that I never looked back and I am still here

I have been having stomach problems for years, but only recently did it get worse. Over the past two months I have been recording what I eat to see if that is the cause for my stomach and intestinal issues. I notice that I have more issues when I eat an abundance of gluten and dairy products.
I have set up an appointment with my doctor to be tested, however I am nervous it will either negative or inconclusive because I do not have all the same symptoms of Celiac Disease.
I guess my final concern is that if it's not celiac disease, then what could it be? I don't want to be running around trying to figure out what the issue is. And I know that isn't as easy as it should be, but should I just go completely gluten and dairy free even if my doctor says I'm negative?
My tests were all negative. However I still went gluten free. I don't need a test to tell me to be gluten free or not. I feel a million times better without gluten so I never turned back. Not everyone looks the same or reacts exactly the same. While a lot of our symptoms are the same, there is a lot that varies from person to person. Make sure to eat a lot of gluten the month or so before your tested and do not stop eating it! You need to have gluten in your system when tested for it to be positive.

I agree with what everyone said above...Tinkyada is the best.

@Krystynnycole: Ahh, that's interesting.. Often my pains are sharp, so I should bring that up with the doc. next time I see him. (On my last visit, he went off on a tangent saying I can tell the gastrologist to do any test he thinks will give me a diagnosis... but without that in writing, I'm not sure whether it will make an impact on what the gastrologist can and can't do?)

Krystyn, there is hidden corn in so many things! If you Google "corn allergy", you will find many websites and forums where you can seek help and advice.
There is corn in most things that say "natural flavor" on the label. Many white rices are dusted with cornstarch to keep it from being so sticky. Frozen fruits and veggies are often dusted with cornstarch to keep them from clumping together. Even "natural vanilla flavor" has corn!! Most medications and supplements have either wheat or corn as fillers. It is NOT easy, that's for sure!
Here is a partial list of ingredients that contain corn:

I am eating meat, eggs, veggies, cheddar, and brown rice. I avoid most fruit right now because I don't want any extra sugar - and if I'm GOING to have sugar, it will be in Starbuck's ice cream, which is one of the very few ice creams that are both gluten and corn free. Besides that, many fruits have a waxy coating put on them, and you guessed it, that coating contains corn. I'm going to buy some potatoes tonight and add them to my diet next week. But even potatoes can be tricky. Unless they are new potatoes with thin skins, they are GASSED with ethylene to make them stay fresh longer! Bananas are the same - they gas them with ethylene, which is of course, corn.
It COULD be something else that is causing your psoriasis. For Mom it was gluten, for me it's corn (and probably gluten too.) For you it might be soy or dairy or nuts, maybe even nightshades. The only way to tell is to pare it down, then add one food at a time.
If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. Heck, I'M still figuring it out - maybe we can figure it out together!
Oh Geez....just when I thought I had this gluten thing down! Thanks

I agree with everything kareng talked about! With one additional note...with IBS your pain will be most likely be in the form of spasms while with celiac it will most likely be more sharp or shooting pains. This note is what made my doctor agree to a celiac test. Hope it gives you the same help it did me!

I would think that there is MAJOR cross contamination over there! Even something gluten free that is made in the same oil...I'm not talking about the basket...it could be a bran new basket but same oil will make me sick for days! Plus it can take some people over a year to have the sympotms go away
After you have finsihed your service, you may want to use this as your launching ground. This way you can choose the products you want. Gluten is everywhere! It's hard to escape. That might be a better test for you.
Thank you for your service for our country!
