    joint pain is mine. it's hard enough to chase 2 kids without feeling like you've been beaten with a sledge hammer! Ouch!

    Both my kids were casien intolerant as infants, so I had to stick to a strict casien free diet while nursing. I found that making calzones instead of pizza was easier, that way everyone got what they wanted. I did mine with olive oil, veggies, turkey pepperoni, ham, Italian seasoning.....etc. EVeryone else could have cheese and it wasn't a problem. It...

    I just thought of another one we jused to do all the time. slice a few potatoes thinly on the bottom of a casserole dish. Salt and pepper them. Place thinkly sliced onions on top of that. Lay chops on top, salt and pepper again. Pour a can of Progresso cream of mushroom soup on top ( or other gluten free com soup). Bake for about 45 mins or until...

    Call the manufacturers. Garnier Fructis is ok. Unilever (Suave, salon selctives, dove....) will list things, but some don't. Garnier sent me a list of chemical agents that can have gluten in them and most of them don't look glutenous. Softsoap, lubriderm, and baby magic are ok. My daughter had severe reactions to a curel lotion I was using. You can...

    I have the acne and dizzyness. Remember it can take months to see the difference. It took me a few months. I hope you feel better soon.

    We do chops a lot. One of my favorite ways is to simply salt and grill them. You'd be surprised at how much flavor they have. Another is to use Tone's Canadian Steak seasoning on them and grill, fry, or broil them. The seasoning is both dairy and gluten free. Garlic salt works nice too. If you pan fry them, add some water to the pan after they're...

    I'd love your play dough recipes! Thanks. I've never heard of that store, Nini. I'm in Alabama, so it may not be here. Can you order from them? I found the play dough on the web! Woo Hoo! Happy day!

    Both my kids have it. Both had terrible rashes and diaper rash, failure to thrive, listlessness, trouble sleeping My daughter(11 mos) had projectile vomiting and my son had diarrhea. My son (3) also had geometric patterns and sores on his toungue. He would also be an angel sometimes and then just explode over nothing. It really affects his moods. ...

    My husband is diabetic and that's how he started. Get her checked to make sure. It's a simple test. My son urinates a lot too and is thirsty. We've checked his glucose levels and they seem to be normal, but it's a constant concern. Hope it's just a phase for her!

    I think I'm going to ask my church to go gluten free in the nursery since my kids are still both in there. It's a small church, so they'll be the only ones there sometimes. It would just be so much easier than having to constantly worry. How do you handle the play dough issue though? My 3 year old has been begging for some and I haven't yet been able...

    My son's teeth are terrible. The first thing I noticed was when his teeth first started coming in, one just had a huge hole in it. There just wasn't any enamel there. Decay started immediately, so I took him to the dentist as an infant. He put a temporary filling on it. He has had so many cavities. It's just awful. Every time I go the dentist says...

    I'm with you! My son is so compassionate towards his little sister and he's just 3. I'm not saying that they need to be picked up during a mad fit, but infants cry because they have a need for something. It's our job to try our best to provide for that need. I just love to hear my son say "Mommy, Meg's crying. Check on her, Mommy. " My kids are very...

    I went to PF Chang's to celebrate my 30th B-day with my best friend earlier this month. 1st time I've eaten out since last Sept. when I went gluten-free. It was great. The lettuce wraps were wonderful. I'm getting hungry!

    Vincent, Sorry about your condition. My daughter has pulmonary atresia which is a congenital heart defect. She's undergoing her second heart surgery this summer with Dr. Davis Drinkwater at Vandy (he recently transferred to another Nashville hospital, but they're letting him come back to complete her repair). She used to be very tired, but is doing...

    I found that the Walmart brand of margarine in the tub is dairy free. I've used it in a lot of baking and it works pretty well.

    TCA replied to mbg98's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I've been gluten free for 6 months and have had tgerrible headaches this week. I think it's the pollen. I take excedrin migraine. It took me quite a while to be truly gluten free. I'd think I was doing so good and then I figure out something had it that I didn't expect.

    I just want to stress the importance of breastfeeding. I breastfed my son for 20 mos and am still pumping for my 11 mo. old daughter. I'm sure a lot of you have seen my posts about her. She had open heart surgery at 9 days and the doc insisted we start supplementing what I pumped with formula. That's where her problems began. It's a very long story,...

    My daughter has HORRIBLE choking problems. She's 11 months and has been through soooo much. Open heart surgery, projectile vomiting, Nissen, G tube and now getting ready for another heart surgery. The ONLY thing she can tolerate is breast milk and trust me, we've tried everything. I'm having a hard time keeping up with her since she won't nurse. Anyway...

    Both kids have huge eyes (as do I) and beautiful long eye lashes. I got jipped on the eye lashes, though.

    I've tried the chocolate cake mix and wasn't impressed. It was edible, but very dry. I liked their sugar cookie mix, though. My B-da7 was Monday and my mom tried Pamela's choc. cake and it was amazing!!!! She made the rich recipe with fat free sour cream and it was great. I love the Cause You're Special brand yellow cake mix. We do cupcakes with it...

    I didn't like the apple cinnamon Bann's waffles either. The choc. chip mini waffles are really good and I like the blueberry. Both are a little sweet, so I eat them plain. It's my in a hurry and can't cook breakfast. Yesterday was my 30th Bday and we had a pamela's chocolate cake. We made it with the rich recipe using fat free sour cream and topped...

    My son was also a late walker - 16 mos. Potty training was a mystical fairy tale I had heard about until a couple months into the diet. He was just 3 when we started the diet in January and he was potty trained 2 weeks ago!!!!!!! I did the happy happy joy joy dance!!!! There was no way we could expect him to go to the potty when he had D 6 + times a day...

    My son loves sweet tarts, laffy taffy, jelly bellies (one flavor isn't gluten-free, but I forgot which one), reece's cup and pieces, baby ruths, butterfingers. We do a lot of Edy's light ice creams that are sooo good. my hubby is addicted to the carmel swirl. I keep a sweet made most of the time. I do Cause you're special yellow cake mix in cupcakes....
