    Not much time to write, but I think the teacher is flat our wrong on this one. Baking would be an absolute no in my book....gluten free is much too difficult for anyone not on the diet to understand. Most people on the diet take a good 6 months to stop making mistakes, and even then mistakes still happen. We don't let anyone cook for our kids, no matter...

    Yep, this worries me too. I personally think things are going to get worse before they get better for Celiacs....we are seeing more and more mainstream products come out with products that say "gluten free", which have up to (or more I believe) 20ppm of gluten. That leaves us going in circles trying to figure out what is making us sick, b/c we don't think...

    P.S......love your haiku. Too funny

    Well, it turns out that I may have actually married another Celiac, but didn't know it until recently So, that may explain why all of my children have to be gluten free. So don't let my siggy scare you from having kids! Another thing though....I used to work in a children's hospital, so I think that helped put a positive spin on the entire Celiac...

    I know it may be hard, but I would definately try eliminating the Chex, Dora Cereal and Fritos. These have all caused major gluten reactions in my daughter, and even in my son who isn't quite as sensitive. I discovered this after months of trying to figure out what was making us all so sick. I never thought it could be the "gluten free" Chex. Since...

    Don't have time to read all of the responses, so I'm probably repeating what everyone else said! In a nutshell....my 5 year old's primary symptom is behavior. He had something a couple of weeks ago with gluten, and he was AWFUL. He became hateful, he was biting, hitting, screaming, name calling (bad names, saying terrible things). He honestly becomes...

    Yummm. These would be excellent for a decadent turkey day or Christmas dessert. And no special flours involved, how easy is that? Thanks again!

    I have a 10 year old son that I put on the diet without a positive biopsy.....I had him blood tested b/c his sister is biopsy diagnosed, and he already had psoriasis and tummy issues, but he tested negative. The GI doc won't do a biopsy on a negative blood test, so my only option was to try the gluten free diet. He was 8 at the time, and was the hardest...

    You aren't alone....I've tried Bob's Red Mill cornbread twice, and both times I thought it was way too dense for my taste. It's good for stuffing though after it's dried out a bit. I now use the recipe from Annelise Roberts cookbook, Baking Classics, and it turns out light and fluffy. The above recipe sounds even easier though, I'll have to give that...

    I don't have any ideas for ya, but I can sympathize My dd has been gluten free for over 4 years now, and at first she grew and gained quite a bit. She is 7 years old now, for height she has fallen below 3rd pecentile, and for weight she is in the 10th percentile. Our ped mentioned seeing an endocrinologist at some point, but I too have been putting...

    Oh my!!!! I have to admit, just reading your post gave me shivers. I can't imagine seeing one that had come out of my kiddo! On the bright side though, at least now you know he has parasites and with targeted treatment he may finally get some relief. Keep us updated after your appointment tomorrow!

    I'd really like to start making my own almond milk and cashew milk. Pretty much all the nuts I can find are "packaged in a facility with wheat" yada, yada, yada. So I'm just curiuos if anyone else makes their own alternative milks, and if so, where do you buy your nuts from? Ha, hubby read this and laughed. I guess the word "nuts" is still funny no matter...

    I don't think baking them would give you the same crunch and texture as deep frying. I've never tried it though, so maybe someone else has had success! I don't have a deep fryer either, I just use a deep sauce pan and pour almost an entire bottle of veggie or canola oil in. It has to get really hot, I don't have a thermometer so I just test it by dropping...

    Here is what I use....they have turned out really good. I cut the hot dog into thirds, then dip and deep fry in veggie oil. They are on the sweet side, so the kids love them. 1 cup gluten-free flour- I use the Annelise Roberts mix w/brown rice, but I really think whatever blend you use would work. 1 cup cornmeal 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 tsp...

    It could definately be a possibility. My last baby had problems from the beginning, mainly reflux. She is what prompted me to finally go gluten/dairy free myself, since I was breastfeeding. Some babies do have problems that early on from Celiac. I would for sure get your oldest dd tested. We have four kids, and they all have problems with gluten...

    That's a tough one. If it were me, I would really press the pediatrician for a note for the after school program. Or make the effort to see the GI doc, and stress the response to the diet and how sick she got from one cookie. Hopefully with the family history of Celiac and dietary response, that may be enough. Maybe asking for a "gluten intolerance" note...

    I would get the Kitchen Aid. I use mine all the time....I think it's the one appliance that makes baking so much easier. Baking bread in the oven isn't too bad, I have my prep time down to 15 minutes.

    Sorry, I know how you feel. I have good 1-2 week stretch where I feel good, then something makes me sick. I've just gotten to the point where I don't even mention it anymore to my husband, I don't want to sound like a whiner. It is starting to take its toll though. I'm busy with the kids, so I don't have alot of time to eat anyway. I'm the size of a...

    Count me in the short pinky club. I used to be so proud of my long slender fingers, but now I learn that even my pinky is shorter than it's supposed to be.

    Sounds great.....do you happen to know what brand(s) the gluten free food is??? I would love to do this since we are on a really tight budget, but my dd is also very sensitive. Knowing the brand or company that produces the food might help me feel more secure in ordering. Thanks!!!
  21. taweavmo3
    Oh I would be fuming!!!! That must make it more difficult that you actually work in that school. I hope you get something worked out, that is really awful. I swear I sprout 100 new gray hairs each new school year, it is so stressful having to start over with someone new, and just praying that they undestand!

    None of my kids can tolerate dairy. With my last child, I had to cut out dairy to ease her reflux. She still gets reflux symptoms if she has some dairy, and she's three. I'm sure some kids do grow out of it, it just didn't happen for us! We've done a few dairy trials, and it never goes well. I honestly don't think they'll ever grow out of it, and...

    Wow, I could have written that post. You sound alot like me. I'm 4'10" and 90 pounds on a good day...and when I was younger I could out drink some of the boys and still feel okay the next day. I have the same problem as you now, I can't drink any alcohol w/out feeling hungover the next day. Even if I just have one drink, I'm sick. It stinks, b/c I...

    I noticed it with the soy sauce...I got really sick from it, but the bottle said gluten free. A week later, new label with wheat in the ingredients. I haven't really bought any more Great Value food items since then. That is interesting though....I wonder why the change??
  25. taweavmo3
    Wellshire farms nuggets and corn dogs got us too. I *thought* it might have been those that were making my dd sick, but I kept second guessing myself b/c the package said gluten free. Our diet is hard enough w/out companies knowingly putting out gluten free product that are contaminated. And the fact that their product is marketed for children makes it...
