  1. wet some paper towels with alcohol & put in a baggie or just bring a bottle with you & paper towels.
  2. Nannu, DD grew another 1/2 inch! So since her physical in Jan she has grown 1 in & put on 3-4 lbs. Your girl is very young so she still has plenty of time to grow--chk her height 2-3x a yr.
  3. OP, you 've had your business lunch by now. What happened? How did you finally decide to handle it?
  4. I asked my 17 yo son (mildly autistic) who has been gluten-free for 10 mths if he noticed any differences since going gluten-free. He said that he has better concentration. I did not lead him or anything-completely his own words.
  5. Grab a copy of "gluten Free for Dummies" from the library. Great section on autism.
  6. this thread should be copied & sent to every stupid Dr mentioned.
  7. kick him to the curb & just tell your friends that gluten "messes you up" plain & simple. Bring your own food when you hang out with friends,etc. Good Luck!
  8. wow PSU is really stepping up! I will seriously consider this school for my son. And as a bonus my sister is 45 mts away so he will have a support system nearby. THis is a great thread. Keep the info coming!
  9. thx to all who replied. I'll just get a cheap blender for $20 or so & see how it goes. I do know that the bread needs to be dried out in oven.
  10. That is wonderful! My DD just grow 1/2 inch too. She just turned 14 & is 4'10. I don't know how to convert metrics so how much is 115 cm in inches & feet? If your DD likes milkshakes add them to her diet several times a week.
  11. I've been saving scraps of bread in the freezer so I could make bread crumbs. So now that I have a fair amount I am ready to make them. However when I went to the store to buy either a food processor or blender or even a combo I got confused. I've never owned either one. I don't need/want anything fancy or expensive. Can anybody recommend what to buy...
  12. that's another on the list
  13. OP: my local super walmart just started carrying glutino breakfast bars. They are about $1 chpr than say Whole Foods. Plus if you get coupons from the manufacturers they will be even chpr. My DS likes them but doesn't want them anymore b/c he said they make him gassy . Well they are fine for many ppl just not him .
  14. My DD will eat udi's bagels & udi's cinnamon rolls. Fruity or chocolate pebbles are good too as well as gluten-free rice krispies with sliced bananas.And of course all Chex cereals. Since your problem is soggy cereal that is easily fixed just pour a very small portion like 7-10 (or less--you judge) spoonfuls & just add a little milk If they want...
  15. Have you had your blood sugar tested? You are saying your mouth is dry--is it due to thirst? well if I were you I'd just get it chkd There are products for dry mouth-- Biotene is one. also eat some bananas It helps with the reflux a little as bananas are akaline--opposite of acidic.Good Luck!
  16. I wouldn't do it. Dr's can be misinformed or ill-informed.I know too many ppl who died from melanoma. But suit yourself. Good luck!
  17. DEFINITELY NO TANNING BEDS!!! They will burn u w/o providing any vit D. Natural sunlight is what we need no artificial crap!
  18. well when there is villi damage nutrients aren't absorbed so in addition to vit D many celiacs have anemia as well but not all. However a large portion of americans are vit D deficient due to the overuse of sunblock & avoiding the sun. Many Northerners are vit D deficient especially during winter months. We need sun but not too much sun. Depending...
  19. So true about the feet and jumping shoe sizes.
  20. Children grow in spurts. My DD @ age 13 was newly dx'd. She started gluten-free diet in jun 11 & grew 2.5 " by Oct & gained like 5/6 lbs. She hasn't grown very much if at all since Oct. However I just had her bone age scan done & it puts her @ age 12.3 so she still has room to grow. She just turned 14 last wk. Do make sure she takes a multivitamin...
  21. jane, your long suffering unexplained bouts of dizziness reminds me of a Mystery DX episode I recently saw. Look up "disembarkment syndrome" If its not ur condition I hope that you get pointed in the right direction at least. Good Luck!
  22. It depends on what stage of puberty you are in. Stage 5 the last stage when chest hair, full beard etc are in full bloom. Boys complete stage 5 @ different ages up to age 21. But if you really want to know you will need a bone age xray to see if your growth plates are fused.
  23. costco: better than boullion sams: pistachios/other nuts crunchmaster crackers handsoap laundry detergent ( ERA is cheapest & cleans well) tyson frozen chicken breast hebrew nat'l hot dogs cheese milk smart balance tone spices mccormick chicken base
  24. would rather use onion powder what's the equivalent to "1 onion" ? Also I'd throw in some corn & peas. How much instant potatoes should be used instead of the tapioca starch, the same--1/3 cup?
  25. I made the flourless choc cake today for DD's 14th birthday & frosted it with betty crocker frosting. 5 out of 6 ppl loved it. It was easy to make & I did use the expresso thinking it was a necessary thing even tho it says optional I thought it would be better with it. After I made the cake I read the other page with the pictures & learned...
