    The kids had a great time. Carleigh was a princess. Nick was a Transformer that actually transformed into a car. I was at the school for the parties, and then we went to a Halloween party. Nick won "Most Original" for his age group and even made it into the newspaper with pictures and a small article. Then they went trick-or-treating for a little...

    I love the ice cream party idea! I may have to do that for my dd's birthday in January. I'm thinking maybe root beer floats, though. I wanted to do really cool non-food treats for my dd's birthday the last two years and she just flipped out. She wanted to be like everyone else, and everyone else brings food. There are other kids with allergies in...

    Mamma, Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of favorite "products" because of the rice being such a substitute for gluten-free. My short list includes Glutino pretzels (cornstarch), Cerrone Cones (tapioca), and occasionally K-Toos (they do have some rice flour but she is okay with them once in awhile). I make everything else from scratch. I substitute...

    ((hugs)) BTDT. You didn't say how old your daughter was. I just sent my dd off to a Halloween party with a friend. She had to bring a package of store-bought cookies to the party. I bought Oreos for her to contribute. I sent her K-Too cookies and pretzels to eat for herself. Most of the time, she is okay with always being different. However, there...

    These cookies are awesome!! I made them this morning for my daughter and she loved them. I'm putting the rest in the frig to try them cold.

    You may need to take a break from anything bread, cake, or cookie-related until you can *forget* what wheat tastes like. That was the best advice I got from someone who used to post here l a lot. My daughter ate only meat, veggies, and fruit for awhile.

    We deal with multiple food allergies here too, including rice. It is tough eliminating so many things, but my daughter is feeling so much better now, and is at an appropriate weight. Two years ago, we received addition of the wheat and rice allergies, the celiac testing was inconclusive. But, we decided to go gluten free. I was okay with the dairy, egg...

    How is Noah doing?

    That's ridiculous! I hope that it rained, and the flour has all been washed away. I agree that you should use this as a teachable moment to inform them - I'm sure that the organizers just have no idea that wheat is a top-8 allergen.

    I'm so disheartened to read of both of your experiences. I hope that by the time my eight year old daughter goes to college, things will have changed. For now, I guess I'll keep making double copies of the recipes that she likes. I have thought that one day she will need "her" own cookbook to accomodate all of her allergies.

    We took Carleigh to the allergist in LaCrosse on Friday, and we ate pizza at Valentino's in Rochester. She loved it. Thanks, Skypie! I'm hoping that the next visit we can try Victoria's again.

    My dd has a lot of allergies, like Julie's dd. We also do not have access to a microwave. Lunch time is about 20 minutes. We use a thermos about 3 times/week. It works great - except for chicken nuggets. We have also sent cold items in there, like smoothies. To me, it's easier to pack what I know works than fight for her 'right' to eat a school lunch...

    HaPpY BiRtHdAy PaUlA! Hope you had a great day and found something yummy to eat!

    Checking in for an update... I'm sorry to hear that they think it will be a bumpy(ier) ride. Prayers for Noah, his family, his medical team, and his friends this afternoon.
  15. Cheri A
    Wow! I take it that this is not a public school that your son goes to. I've said another prayer for Noah, his family, the doctors and nurses taking care of him. Also said a prayer for all of his friends too.
  16. Cheri A
    ((Amanda)) I'm so sorry. It's wonderful that you had such a caring relationship with him and his wife. I will say a prayer for his family, and for you and John.

    I hope you have a wonderful day!! Happy, happy birthday!

    I'm so sad to read that. I've said a prayer for Noah, his family, and all those taking care of him.
  19. Cheri A
    That's wonderful!! I'm so glad that his mother was willing to try it!! It gives me hope for my acquaintances that have children with autism. Maybe I shoud make them some gluten-free food/snack baskets and give it to them to try. When I've talked to them about it, they have both responded that it would be too much work for them.

    Wow, that's so nice of them I'm so glad that your BIL will be going to your house to finish recovering. I'm sure he'll do so much better. (hugs)

    I wish I could go this Saturday. Carleigh has cheerleading and a birthday party to go to. For those of you that attend, please report back all about it, okay? AFA bread, Carleigh did not like the store-bought bread. She likes the sorghum bread that I found at www.twinvalleymills.com We have to modify it some, but have it down to a science now. It...

    Cool Beans!! Congrats to your DH on the new job too!
  23. Cheri A
    I understand the frustration that you are feeling and it seems like your school/district should have more policies in place to accomodate you. My dd has multiple food allergies (see my siggy). There is only one lunch (hot dog day) that it is feasible for her to eat. And, even then, everything else has to be modified. While I suppose that I *could...

    Happy Belated Birthday to you all!! Hope you had a wonderful day!!

    Paula, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family also. ((hugs))
