    McCormick spices will clearly list gluten so you can season your meats and veggies so they don't always taste the same. There's a huge list of companies that will divulge any gluten, but I cant remember who usually posts the list, I don't have it. For recipe ideas, it might be nice to invest in a few gluten free cookbooks. I recommend anything by Bette...

    Here's a link to a previous discussion. Someone posted a TON of Gluten-free Casein-free cheese recipes here about a year ago, but I can't remember who it was, maybe AndreaB???? I'm just guessing. Open Original Shared Link

    IF your toothpaste were the culprit, you may still feel glutened even a day or so later even if you didn't use the toothpaste. Most people feel bad for a few days after a glutening. Especially if it's a repeated glutening. I have no clue if your toothpaste is gluten free or not, just thought you might wanna think about that. Also, I agree w/ the others...

    Probiotics can be very hard on sensitive stomachs. I can't take them. They make me very ill, just like I'd been glutened, even if they're gluten free. I have no other intolerances.

    Definitely wait to try gluten again until you've had the baby AND are done breastfeeding. IF you have Celiac Disease, then you will be unable to absorb key nutrients if you're eating gluten. These nutrients are what feeds your baby and prevents him/her from having birth defects, low birth weight, etc... It really isn't worth the risk. These nutrients are...

    Wow! That's scary! My bag says gluten free on it. I wonder if they changed it or if it just varies by plant.
  7. Guhlia
    Wow! That's good to hear! They didn't used to say it right on the bag. It's great when companies label as gluten free. I always support those companies as much as possible. And BTW, welcome to the forum!!!

    I use the flour mix that JennyC uses. It, in my opinion, is the best all purpose gluten free flour mix out there. I've used it in hundreds of regular recipes and had it come out perfectly. I usually can't even tell the difference, neither can my non-Celiac husband.

    Abigail, I really don't think your playground concern is too paranoid. There have been many reports of shared phones/computers causing glutenings. I myself have gotten glutened from things far stranger than a playground swing. I would definitely have your child wash his hands or wipe them thoroughly with wet ones. I'd rather be a little "paranoid" than risk...

    Yeah, they take unattended minors VERY seriously. You have to pay a small extra fee and I don't think you can book online through Expedia or anything, but it's worth it for your daughter's safety. You can call the airline and airports to double check on their policies. They should be able to put your mind at ease.

    Actually, a support group, even if headed by you, may be beneficial. If it doesn't help him, it will at least help other celiac children in your community. It may just be the simple fact that he feels "different" by having this special diet. If he meets other kids that are struggling through the same things it might give him strength.

    Welcome to the forum! Yes, long term stress can lead to Celiac. Celiac is commonly misdiagnosed as IBS. There are however several other conditions that can easily result from Celiac or coexist with Celiac, but aren't really a misdiagnosis: anemia, chronic depression, osteoperosis, osteopenia, anxiety disorders, acid reflux disease, among many others. If...

    I'm in the US. Great Value brand in my Walmart is gluten free and marked as so.

    I'm so glad that your doctor sounded hopeful after your visit. That's promising. Keep us informed. And thanks!

    I don't worry about the ocean, the parts per million would likely be too low to harm a Celiac. After my daughter plays on the playground I immediately wipe her hands thoroughly with two wet ones. Then, as soon as we get home, she has to wash her hands. I don't worry too much about the swimming pool either. I've never gotten sick from swimming, even at a pool...

    What kind of cereals do you generally like? Erewhon makes a really good brown rice and berries cereal that is gluten free. I enjoy sweeter cereals so I generally eat the Envirokidz Panda Puffs and Gorilla Munch. My husband swears by the Erewhon stuff.

    I haven't heard anything about this doctor. I just wanted to bump this back up to the top because I know we have someone on this board that works at Hershey Med (I think that's where she works). Hopefully she'll be able to help.

    Kay, that is such a brilliant idea. You should start a new post so that everyone will see it.

    Most icing sugar is gluten free. If you're in a bind, you can always just make your own. It's really easy.

    I think perhaps it's time to make the house gluten free. If for no other reason than your sanity. I know you've tried talking to him over and over again and it doesn't seem like you're getting through to him at all. The only other thing I think you could do is set up a strict punishment system and let him choose to lose priveleges OR stay gluten free. That...

    He he he... It is pretty funny, isn't it? Let me tell you, it wasn't very funny for the past 2 or 3 weeks as she "just wasn't making it onto the potty in time". Ugh... I can't believe I didn't think of that... Oh, the things our children do... I only wish I would have had a video camera on her for her confession. Now THAT would have been priceless!!!
