    What gluten-free food options does RR have? Other than the fries, would kids be cool with the choices? (mine are not too impressed with bun-less burgers)
  2. Noomers
    I highly recommend joining a celiac support group. There are a number of people in mine that don't have positive blood tests. It's nice to know you're not alone and there is a lot to be learned.

    Chili (frozen ahead of time) and tortilla chips. Simple, tasty, filling. Fruit for dessert.

    My 3yo will suddenly develop a severe stutter when he gets glutened. It really freaks me out!
  5. Noomers
    Not much to add, but I also was diagnosed with VV 4 years ago and then went on to find I had celiac in March 2011. I had the surgery and it was totally worth it! I actually felt a new spot forming a few months before finding out I had celiac and the pain has completely gone away after being gluten-free.

    This isn't helpful for right now, but did you know that there are celiac camps for kids? My state alone, which isn't huge, has 2 of them!
  7. Noomers
    I found them at Meijer for $3.20.

    I was in the exact same boat a few months back. I was diagnosed with celiac when my son was 5 months and I was breastfeeding too. You can check out the thread I started about it here. Nothing changed after going gluten-free, sadly. I ended up switching to Alimentum formula (hypoallergenic) and my son (now 7mos) is thriving. Strangely, I found that...

    Chicken curry. Possibly pre-cooked meatloaf.

    The theme should be "easy". I'm super pot-off by recipes that have many ingredients. Keep it simple. I actually am sick of gluten-free cookbooks being all baking. I need main dish ideas that don't break the bank!

    Thank you all for your responses. We are already a milk-, soy, and nut-free family so it's not any of those. I notice that I'm okay if I eat something small (like a few animal crackers) but if I have a whole sandwich or piece of cake then I start to puff up. Could it just be starch overload? I also wonder about tapioca and the gums. I know I can...

    I'll check the sodium but I also don't think that's the problem. I'm thinking it is somehow grain related. I am curious about the blood pressure though. I usually run low but maybe not right now. I've had it checked within the last 2 months. It's always been fine, even when I lived off processed foods for years.
  13. Noomers
    I'm pretty sure it's not due to CC b/c I'm not having this problem with non-grains. I make all of my food from scratch except for these baking mixes and nothing else is causing me problems. The only ready-made gluten-free stuff I buy is animal crackers for the kids but I rarely eat those. It's the muffins and breads that make me swell. I'll have to check...

    I've been gluten-free for 2 months. I've noticed in the last month or so that I swell when I eat gluten-free baked goods. Pamela's bread mix (which is delicious) is the worst offender but other products are problematic as well. I tried cutting gluten-free baked goods out of my diet for a while and that seemed to help until I made muffins for my kids yesterday...

    That stuff has a ton of fiber in it. Could you have overdone it and are actually having gas pains?
  17. Noomers
    I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. Your response is incredibly mature! I once spent a summer living with 7 other girls from church, one of them had celiac. I'm sure we glutened her constantly because we really didn't get it (or care enough to figure it out) and I feel really bad about it now (just found out I have celiac). I'm thinking of contacting...

    When is this trip? I ask because I recently went gluten-free and eased myself into it. First I cut out all obvious foods containing gluten for a few weeks, am now contacting manufacturers to get more specifics and am slowly replacing everything in my kitchen that isn't going to work anymore. Is there a chance your trip will fall during the transition period...
  19. Noomers
    Good news is that there are other mixes too. Jules and King Arthur are both gluten-free and dairy-free. What are you looking to make? I can get you plenty of recipes. I usually just substitute rice milk or coconut milk for cow's milk, use Bestlife Buttery spread instead of butter, etc. The only thing that hasn't worked out for me using a mix is cornbread...

    Same problem here with my almost-3yo. It is so frustrating. I can't even get him to eat desserts a lot of the time. All he wants is fruit, potato chips, and hummus. One thing that's helped is to add oil to anything and everything. If he eats a little soup, I hide some canola or coconut oil in it. Same with juice (yes, it's gross but he'll drink it...

    I have 15 pounds of Jules flour and I'm not super impressed. The taste is fine but it's so "springy" I could use a cake as a trampoline! I'm wondering if I got a bad batch or something.
  22. Noomers
    Honestly, a tiny bit strange. The texture isn't quite right. The finished product is absolutely incredible though!
  23. Noomers
    I do love me some Jules cookies. I know this is changing the subject, but do you find that baking non-cookie stuff with her mix always ends up way too "springy"? I made cornbread using it and it was so dense and moist that it tasted like corn-flavored birthday cake...yummy, but wasn't what I was going for.
  24. Noomers
    I was wondering the same thing. I know this won't help you but in case somebody else reading this is interested, the pancake mix has milk and nuts in it and the bread mix does not.

    Greetings from another nursing mother of a 5mo. It might be helpful to call your local LLL. Some leaders are very on top of things and would be able to help. The anesthesia doesn't have to be a problem. So you went to your family doctor or internist who referred you to a GI? I just had my family doc run a celiac blood panel, which came up...
