We are planning a trip with my 6 and 10 year old (both celiacs and one with nut allergies) to Colonial Williamsburg. I am looking for any tips you may have on restaurants in Colonial Williamsburg or in the surrounding area. I would love for them to enjoy the whole experience, and getting sick would be a real fun-killer for everybody. Any ideas for us are...

Are we really the only ones with this complication? I am getting more nervous.

Wow. Am I the only one who has had this occur? Isn't there anyone else who has had trouble with this? Now I am really worried.

My three year old was diagnosed with celiac at around 15 months old. He has been strictly gluten-free for 2 years. He was tested with the blood test, endoscopy, and DNA testing. He was positive on all counts. He drinks rice milk, has limited soy (rotated with VERY scant dairy), and is anaphylactic to nuts. We started seeing bloody streaks some months...

My three year old was diagnosed (blood test, endoscopy, and DNA testing) with celiac almost two years ago. He has been strictly gluten-free ever since. He began to have blood in his stool a few months back. At first, it was only a little streaky. I assumed contamination and checked and double checked his diet. The blood became more and more frequent...

My 3 and a half year old is having some incidents of blood in his stool. Usually it is just bloody streaks. Last Sunday he had a diaper with alot of blood in it. We took him in to the Pediatrician and saw his allergist today. We are going Friday to his gastro doc. The allergist suspects a possible soy intolerance. He has been a diagnosed celiac for...

This is very helpful to know. I think I have been erring on the side of caution, but this is good news. The kids love creamed corn (from a can) and it lists modified food starch. So, it should say "wheat" as the source of the food starch, if it contains it - right? Thank you - I will add this news to my shopping list guidelines.

I really need to loose some weight (okay, alot of weight). Both of my children are on gluten-free diets for celiac, my dh needs a special diet for health issues as well. It has been overwhelming to take on another "diet" and worry about the food for one more person (myself). But, the time has come to take control of the situation. I went in for a medical...

I had noticed this as well. I was wondering (along these same lines), the Nestle hot cocoa mix also says "gluten free" on the package. It lists "modified food starch" as an ingredient. Is this a contradiction, or is modified food starch sometimes okay?

Pumpkin Bars (Sort of a moist pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing) 4 eggs 1 2/3 cup of sugar 1 c. oil 1 can (@16 oz.) of pumpkin Beat this together until fluffy. In a seperate bowl, mix: 2 cups gluten-free flour (I used Bob's - but whatever) 2 t. baking soda 2 t. cinnamon 1 t. salt 1 t. gluten-free baking powder Mix the wet and dry ingredients...

Thank you so much! Just what I needed to know!

I was thinking this was okay. The info. is hard to get on the weekend. Is it safe - the ingredients seemed okay. It did say "spices". Does anyone know? It is the mild sausage.

As the holidays approach I feel a craving for some of the dishes we used to make that also contain cream of chicken soup. Does anyone know a good way to substitute, where to buy gluten-free Cream of chicken, OR how to make your own? I am open to any option. Thanks!

Is "RTS" ready to serve? I have the chicken broth in the cardboard ready to pour package. I listed the ingredients in another post and I believe I was told it wasn't safe. But if the ingredients are supposed to clearly say "wheat , rye, oats, or barley" - then this product would be fine.

I made your mac and cheese recipe for my children for dinner tonight. They loved it. Thank you so much!
