    My son was 5 (and 3/4) when he was diagnosed. So far, he's the only one in the family with it.

    The skin burning thing is not just you. I have that too, but only one particular cream, and only when I put it on a patch of excema right near my eye, and it only lasts for a few seconds. I love it for my hands, but I don't get the burning sensation then.

    I sent Parmalat an email this morning (and left a message after many rings of the phone) and in the email I posted the pertinent part of Felidae's letter from the company and then I said, "Are you saying that all of your milk, margarine, and yogurt products contain gluten?" I left it at that. Except I did say how I was looking forward to a response soon...

    I couldn't find the Dairyland list, I ended up emailing them. No response yet.

    JerseyAngel and PicturePerfect: I just got off the phone with a guy at Galderma who manufactures Cetaphil. I had emailed them and not gotten a response for the longest time, so called today. He said that all the products in both Canada and the U.S. are manufactured at the same facility and that they are all gluten free EXCEPT something called Capex - a...

    Today I sent a letter to Kellogg's explaining that gluten free was not a small, niche market as they may think and that when one person has celiac disease, that means a whole family can no longer buy their product. I ended it by saying that I and tens or maybe hundreds of thousands of other people were looking forward to buying a gluten-free, reasonably...

    Gluten in milk?!?! That IS insane! That doesn't make any sense. And what regulatory updates are they talking about? Meanwhile, here's the letter I got from Yoplait. Dear Mrs ____, We aknowledge receipt your comments concerning the gluten in the Yoplait products. We want to certified you that all the Yoplait Products are gluten free. More...

    What causes celiac disease? The destruction of the inner lining of the small intestine in celiac disease is caused by an immunological (allergic) reaction to gluten in the diet that inflames and destroys the inner lining of the small intestine. There is evidence that this reaction is partially genetic and inherited. Thus, approximately 10% of first-degree...

    Charmaine, When/if you go gluten-free, just remember that most of the people here are from the states, so not all the items they say are gluten-free will be in Canada. I think that Canadian Snickers are NOT gluten-free. I can't remember, but for sure the mini Hallowe'en size are not gluten-free, I checked the other day. In fact, Effem (who make Snickers...

    Stephanie1, The gluten-free list from Campbell's is very different if you are in Canada. Mine has less on it that the list provided in an earlier post. If you are getting the list for Canadian products, phone them and they'll pop the list in the mail right away. If you go to the website, you'll never get a response.

    OH NO, Viola!! I am not ON tv, I am strictly behind the scenes getting everyone else on. I direct the late news 4 nights a week (Th-Sun). I am bossy by nature,so the job suits me just fine, I tell someone to do something, and he has to do it, because that's his job...to listen to me! For the six o'clock news, I am a production assistant, counting out of...

    Viola, I think in Winlaw you can get CTV Calgary, that's where I work. (Look for my name on the credits Friday!) I didn't see the medical reporter today, but will definitely ask if there's anything in the works for the next couple of weeks.

    Congratulations! My first attempt at cookies, they spread out so much that I had to break them apart and they were so thin and crunchy...tasty, though. My second attempt this afternoon I baked in a cake pan, so chocolate chip cookie squares. I've made banana bread a few times, my gluten-free son and non-gluten-free son & husband love it. It is becoming...

    Mid-way through Celiac Awareness month and I haven't heard a peep about Celiac either in the paper or on tv/radio. CBS has all the Breast Cancer awareness month stuff happening from time to time, little 15 second psa's, but I guess it's a "sexier" disease. I pitched an awareness story to the medical reporter (and all the assignment editors) in the newsroom...

    ARCHIVED Applebee's

    2Boys4Me replied to Lisa's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Lisa, I wonder if it might have been the dressing. I make homemade chicken caesars all the time, but use store bought dressings and have only found one w/o wheat as an ingredient. We don't have any Applebee's so I have no idea what they use for dressing.

    THANK YOU CARRIE-FAITH!! These breadsticks are fabulous! My non-celiac son says they're awesome and my celiac son says, "I like them." (High praise indeed ) They taste just like Pillsbury. I was a bit concerned about the tablespoon of yeast (it seemed like a lot) and they came out giant sized because I cut too big of a hole on the corner of...

    How about plain Tetley (orange pekoe)? I give that to my son once in a while, I don't have the carton anymore so I can't check ingredients. And since you're here, what about Carnation Hot Chocolate?
  19. 2Boys4Me
    Thanks for the date square tip, Viola. Cake is out of the oven, looks and smells great! (just like a real cake ) Will have the fellas test it after school. I am not a big cake eater, 2x a year in the same week for my kid's birthdays. If this works out, I may be well on my way to being a mediocre, or maybe even adequate baker!

    Hmmm. Interesting about exchanging the flours, because after I posted I had a talk with Google. Google says they are NOT interchangeable, and if Google doesn't know, who would!? I've also heard that brown rice flour has more nutrients which I suppose makes sense in that white anything always seems to have to nutrients removed and enrichment added, and brown...
  21. 2Boys4Me
    Viola, does that mean that rice flour and sweet rice flour are interchangeable? If so, perhaps when I get white flour I'll stick with the sweet rice. What about brown? Does it have that same grittiness? The banana bread was equal amounts brown rice, white rice, and tapioca then half that of potato starch. I'm going to try a test cake today, I think.
  22. 2Boys4Me
    Drat! There goes $4.69. I figured I'd try one from scratch and one from a mix and then I'd have a backup. Of course, my son says that I should make a gluten cake too, "in case the other kids don't like it". I have to admit, I haven't eaten much gluten-free dessert stuff...the homemade cookies were pretty good, but I found the banana bread a bit gritty...

    What!? Maybe you have to be five to get a popsicle.
  24. 2Boys4Me
    Hi All, Has anyone tried the Celimix chocolate cake mix? My gluten-free son is having a birthday next month. My test cake (from scratch) didn't turn out the greatest ever. It was a bit heavy and dense. Is that common with all gluten-free cakes? Thanks
  25. 2Boys4Me
    My five year old had an endoscopy no problem. Just remind the nurses of the most important thing: the popsicle afterward. Ty's was blue and later, he had an orange one. You can do it! Good luck.
