    I don't know how old your sister is, but mine is like that too and I think that feeling bad after just ends up being normal. It's sad to see that, but I'm not sure there is really anything we can do. And by the way I took my daughter to the local hospital and the triage nurse did not know what celiac or gluten was, I had to tell her how to spell it...

    My youngest and I had a problem with the cookie mix, but I think that it was the soy in the chocolate that gave us problems.

    Not a problem with the contradictory, I'm sure we are both just trying to help...the information was taken right from the textbook and it is based more for people who are doing a moderate amount of exercise. And I am well aware it is difficult to take in that amount of protein since I can only manage to take in around 30g a day and that is if I have to have...

    I am studying to be a nutrition and wellness consultant and according to my textbook it is more of a formula to figure out the amount. It is recommended that your protein intake is 10-35% of your total calorie intake or .8 grams of protein per 2.2 lbs. The actual formula given has you taking your weight should be for your height so it says that if you...

    As for the question of would I cheat, the answer is not ever and I would never allow my two girls to cheat either. I will say though that I have had symptoms since I was at least an early teen, maybe longer but I can't remember because I got so used to not feeling well. I do remember not feeling well through high school, but just going on feeling sick because...

    For my daughters and I there were so many positive sides... For my 17 month old there is the fact that she isn't as sore, she was going up to 9 times a day, and she is just generally a happy baby now. Also once we cut out gluten and a few other foods for her she began to talk, just a few words but before she wasnt able to really verbalize what she wanted...

    GlutenFreeManna, I don't know if you have a Wal-Mart anywhere close, but we were able to get a GE waffle maker for around $20. We have had it for over a year and it works perfectly for us.

    Hi, I have a four year old and a 17 month old with Celiac plus other food allergies. Feeding them can be a little difficult, but once you find stuff they will eat it does get easier. One thing that my girls love is Chex cereal, there are 5 flavors that gluten free. They also love rice cakes. I have found some chocolate that is gluten free, but I dont remember...

    As far as the cost I can completely relate, my husband doesn't make alot and I am not working and we have 2 adults and 2 children to feed gluten free (along with dairy/soy/egg/yeast free and no antibiotics or hormones in meat). Perhaps if you gave us things that you eat now we can help you with if its safe or what a safe alternative would be. For my family...

    The nurse is late 30s, early 40s. A big problem I had was that she did not seem receptive to any information that I tried to give her about my daughter.
  15. alex11602
    Thank you so much for your input everyone...We have decided to homeschool both our girls Especially after hearing stories of your experiences I feel more at peace with this decision then I have felt about any other decision I have made. Again, thank you so much.
  16. alex11602
    I completely agree with you about being forced to eat healthier and cook from scratch. That is the one positive that I have found.

    I have a daughter who is supposed to start kindergarten in the fall and when we went to register her I spoke to the nurse and she knew what celiac was, but insisted that she will grow out of it if we kept on giving her gluten, she said that she did research. Also told me that they would not be able to take care of my younger daughter when it was time for...

    As far as doctors go I beg you to listen to your gut. Doctors do not know everything...for example, my 16 month old daughter is facing kidney failure (they are functioning at 65%) because the only doctors the insurance would cover insisted she was fine for the same reason (always smiling and happy, little did they know that she was in so much pain that their...

    Along with the protein are you getting enough fiber???
  20. alex11602
    If it is in fact your blood sugar, it sounds like it may be and you should check it when you feel like that to be sure, the best thing is to keep your sugar levels stable. Having a protein source with your meals will help with that or if you aren't big on a real breakfast having a small bag of peanuts (if you can have them) should help. For me in particular...

    love2travel, If I could just ask where you buy saffron? My whole family loves saffron rice, but it only comes in tiny packages so I was thinking I could make my own. Have you ever used it for that purpose? Thank you in advance.
  22. alex11602
    Thank you so much. I think this is all just going to take some getting used to.

    My family just added dairy free and soy free to our gluten free table since my baby has problems with it and it seems that everything I try to find has at least soy in it. I finally found the Earth Balance soy free margarine so we have that, but even the chicken boullion that I bought gluten free(Herb Ox) has soy in it. It just seems that everything I find...

    I made my two girls (ages 15 months and 4 years) fried chicken the other night and used a cornmeal breading. I put the chicken in a frying pan will a light coating of olive oil on the bottom to brown it and give it a little crunch and then I finished cooking it through in a 450 degree oven. I don't measure ingredients usually, but I used about 3 cups of cornmeal...

    If you wanted a really simple soup there is one that I adapted from a Taste of Home recipe that only has 4 main ingredients. The Taste of Home version was a creamy soup and my family is also dairy free. Grandmother's Chowder 1 lb. ground beef 6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced 1 16 oz package of corn 4 tsp chicken boullion water I browned the...
