I have a quick question regarding testing for DSs. DS#1 was tested for celiac (my grandmother and DH's grandmother both had it and my mother has it - my testing has come back negative two times) at age 7. I've been told that celiac can show up at any time and especially with the family history it might be a good idea to have DSs (now they are 7 and 9) tested...

2nd - I always ask for test results - my own and my families and I've never been questioned about it at all. Im' sure this is something the doctor's office is used to.

My son also is allergic to nuts [not peanuts] and was allergic to milk and soy as a baby. Just always looking for new and exciting meal ideas with those "restrictions" if you will... what are some things your child eats? DS is 6 1/2 now. [school lunches are the biggest deal right now] Thanks!!

Let's see... My Grandmother had is as does my mother and my 6 yr old son. DH's Grandmother had it and I suspect his mother has it, but she keeps *forgetting* to be tested. DH will be tested next Tuesday and hopefully DS #2 will be tested after that (he's almost 5). I had a blood test which came out negative as did my sister and her children.

This is so great to hear! We're planning a trip in mid February and staing at Shades of Green with my parents (mother is Celiac) and kids (oldest is Celiac-trying to get youngest tested next). I was a bit concerned, but it sounds like it's gonna be fine! Thanks for the info!

Some of you may already know this... but I just found this out: check this out - gluten free sausages ... they are available at Costco (we dont' have a whole foods or trader joes near us so this is a new discovery) (and other places I'm sure)... and only 4 of the flavors are NOT gluten free... their website is: www.hansallnatural.com -----------...

PLEASE post the recipe! I'm always looking for more kid-friendly gluten-free recipes.

That sounds great! We've done it with dried, blenderized gluten-free bread before. We'll have to check that out. Thanks!

No - you can't have it again. Celiac is what damanged your gut - and will begin to damage it again if you being eating it again. That's my understanding anyway.

My son really likes homemade chicken nuggets (coated w/gluten free bread we dry and put in the blender). We tried both baked and fried (he liked them so much he asked for THEM to be his school birthday treat for when other kids bring stuff in!) Tacos are always a hit (you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of hamburger) Grilled chicken Scrambled...

Could I get one of those too? RedHead-Heather@Comcast.Net Thanks!!

Could I also get a copy of that list? Thanks!! RedHead-Heather@comcast.net

Supposedly it's from the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University and it's a children's cookbook. I hate buying things site unseen and was wondering if anyone has seen this and/or likes it. Thanks!

This is from their site... I have several food allergies. Do any of your sausages contain gluten or dairy products? Also, can you tell me what is in your spice blends? Gluten is an ingredient in soy sauce which we use in some of our sausages. These are Thai, Lamb with Rosemary and Lemon Chicken. As for dairy products, our Pesto Sausage contains Romano...
