    My daughter is celiac/diabetic, and we tried these. She has been eating them for about a month and have had no problems whatsoever. We did not get one of the boxes that we affected by the recall, fortunately. She eats these every single morning. When she is glutened, she doesn't get the physical symptoms, but her blood sugar drops to the 20s-30s after about...

    My daughter and I stumbled upon this loaf of bread, as her normal choice was not in stock. We shied away from Schar for being very dry and bland, but this loaf is the first that she has not toasted the bread before making a sandwich.

    I went through something similar. I grew up with stomach aches, unexplained pains, severe anemia, hair falling out. At one point in high school I was on pills to reduce the acids in my intestine because of the sever abdominal pains I had. None of my friends can remember a time when I didn't complain of not feeling good after eating. My daughter, who is...

    If you want to try baking, ask the parents to pick up some Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour. It has been the best thing to replace regular flour that I've tried. Then you can bake again! As for eating, I would suggest finishing your meals right before getting theirs ready. Then you can eat safely and still tend to the kiddos while they're eating.

    It has occurred to me that my daughter might have been Celiac from birth. From day one, she was emotional, hard to reason with, impossible to deal with. Highly intelligent, but near failing because she refused to do homework. I couldn't wake her up in the morning without a fight. Getting dressed, brushing teeth/hair, taking showers - a constant fight. I would...

    I would go with checking at school. It's probably easier for the 13 y.o. to comply because older kids don't normally have parents send snacks to school for birthday parties and such. If you haven't done so already, go to her school and talk to the principal and also any teachers your daughter has. They all need to be aware of her situation. Also, make...

    First, document EVERYTHING. Take pictures, make a log, recordings...anything to keep records of her symptoms. Gather all the doctor's files you have in regard to her positive blood tests. Yes, take pictures of her poop. Date everything. Then, contact the free legal office in your area. If they won't help, start contacting every family lawyer to plead for...

    Schar makes a really good white bread. Gluten- and tapioca-free. Check out their website for where to buy it.

    I was hoping to take my kids somewhere new and decided to give Don Pablo's a try. I couldn't get on the internet because of the power outage and I couldn't cook, so I winged it. When we got there, I asked firsthand if they had gluten-free options, to which they replied that they did. So we waited for our table and when we were seated they handed us the...

    If you do a lot of baking, it's unlikely that any of your flours and starches need anything special other than an airtight container.

    It is also a sign for diabetes and with having already been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, you should have your kid tested. Although, I'm sure by now you would know.

    Good to hear.

    I hate to say this, but even with a 504 plan and the schools wiping the desks/tables down, your kids will still get glutened. I say this because I do have a 504 plan in place and my daughter gets glutened at least once a week. Thankfully she doesn't get sick, but her sugar drops dramatically so it's still a problem. Have you seen how the tables are wiped...

    This stuff scares me. It has also prompted me to consider changing my major, from computers to Dietitian. I was thinking of becoming Head Lunch Lady at a school because that is also a place that needs some major education. None of my kids can eat at school because they have no idea about gluten or cross contamination. I know a school is not some place...
