    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it. Another Mom (who has only a son) said she was going to check at her son's school. My kid's are homeschooled, so I'm at a loss there. Gina

    So my son, thanks to this forum, now has a pen pal his own age in Sweden to trade emails and letters with - which is great! But my 9 year old daughter is sad now that she doesn't have one (any of you with 2 or more children know exactly what I mean ) I looked on line, but I couldn't find anything that I felt "safe" signing up for. I don't suppose...

    Here is what the website says: Is there Gluten in your products?: Unilever Ice Cream is a member of the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network and the Food Allergy Resource and Research Program. We recommend consumers read the label each time before buying our product. If gluten is present, it is clearly listed in plain language on the ingredient...

    Thanks Peter, I appreciate your response. The Scoutmaster was aware. Lane had been on other camp outs (always with his father) and all were aware of his condition. It was just this one mother this time. She knew his condition but told him it wouldn't hurt him to do the clean up. Very frustrating.

    Hi Martin, First of all I would like to say that I am jealous of your upcoming trip. Nothing like a good road trip! That being said, whenever we travel long distances (we drive from Virginia to Illinois frequently) the only certain way we have found to stay gluten free is to stick with the big chain restaurants that have gluten free menu (some listed...

    Hi Nina, I'm glad you found this board. I agree with you on the baked goods. The gluten free breads, cookies, etc. in the stores are so expensive and not that tasty. My family is from Stockholm. And my husband wants to move to Malmo. He is even trying to learn a little Swedish. Anyway, welcome! Gina

    So I broke down and finally decided that my 11 year old son could go on a weekend Boy Scout camp out without my husband to go with him and watch the potential food problems. He is really good about not eating or even touching anything that we didn't give him. We even went out and bought him a new cooler and stocked it with what he needed for the camp out...

    I could never find out about Slurpees, but I found that Icees are a good substitute. Their website lists their flavors and ingredients as well as gluten free. www.icee.com Gina

    My sons most obvious symptoms were behavior related. We kept overlooking the obvious until his outbursts became age inappropriate. I hate now that we waited so long. He lost a lot of time in mental, physical, and emotional growth. He has been gluten-free for 2 years now and is getting caught up, but I will always wish we had realized the what was goinig...

    Those sound delicious, but I have never seen blue cornmeal in the store. Would it work the same as regular cornmeal? Gina

    Sublingual B12 perked me up a bit. And then unexpectedly took away a bit of my edgy-ness. I don't feel as panicky. I told my husband either his driving was getting better, or that B12 has really helped. He assured me his driving had not improved. Gina

    Thanks so much for sharing that info! We are planning to be in that area next summer, and that's one less thing to worry about : ) Thanks! Gina

    I got my son's doctor to really listen when I kept a food diary complete with how he acted every day. It showed the difference between being gluten free and what happened when he had a small amount or accidental gluten. He gave me a "clinical" diagnosis that day for the sake of school, and then referred us to a specialist. Not sure what to say as to...

    I bought some of these mixes. The sponge cake did not make me sick, but the one that was wheat bread (which is said to have been modified to remove the gluten) made me horribly sick...although they did not affect my son. I won't touch them again, though. Gina
