    Has anyone had any luck getting confirmation from the manufacturer about gluten-free sun screen for kids. Hawaiian Tropic cannot guarentee that theirs is. Here' s the response I got from them: Thank you for your email. With our present raw material information, we can not say for certain that a product is Gluten-Free. We will not be able to make any...

    Is cross contamination as much of a concern with casien as it is with gluten?

    AWESOME!!!! We so miss chocolate! Do you know if either of those are carried in the grocery store or if they are basically on-line order items. Thanks so much Michael!

    Anyone found good gluten-free/cf chocolate? Also when that labels says "cocoa butter" is that a dairy ingredient? Thanks for your help!

    Oh Maureen, I feel for you! I am going through a very similar instance with my 3 1/2 year old son. Our cases are slightly different in that neither my husband nor I have tested positive (well, we have not been tested at all) for Celiac, but my son has gone through testing and although he did not have the "Celiac" gene, he did have a high positive score for...

    My 3-year-old was recently dx with casein intolernce (on top of the gluten intolerance). His doc suggested that we rotate soy/rice/almond milk with him. I'm wondering if there are any suggestions for a good-tasting vanilla-flavored ones. Thanks! Rebecca

    I agree completely!

    Thanks momandgirls for the reply. See we are having a real hard time with this "dairy intolerance" because he was showing no outward signs of the intolerance (as he did with gluten). He seemed to be fine with it, but we had him screened by Enterolab for cows milk sesitivity and his results came back with a definate intolerance to dairy. In fact it indicated...

    My 3-year-old was recently diagnosed with a dairy (casein) intolerance, on top of the gluten intolerance. Up until last week, we had been indulging in a great homemade gluten-free pizza recipe. Pizza crust from Chebe, Prego traditional spaghetti sauce for the sauce, hormel turkey peperoni and mozerella cheese. Well, nowcheese (and all dairy) are off limits...

    For those of you that desparately miss that bowl of yummy oatmeal in the morning, there may be good news! I googled "gluten-free oats" and found the following website: www.glutenfreeoats.com Check it out for yourselves, but it appears that they are safe for us. They are outrageously expensive, but thats probablly a big clue that they are legit. I was...

    We've basically been on our own with this from the start and it was all of my reseach into it that led us to order the test from Enterolab. My son's doc has been of no help and we've not had much luck with 2nd opinions either. I have learned the most from you fine folks and my own research into the matter. If any of you would be so kind as to review the tests...

    Hi Karen, Wow, you could not have described our situation with our 3 year old any better. I am in the exact same boat as you - no diagnositic test, same symptoms in the begining (and lack of the clasics), on gluten-free diet and doing great....so what is it? Wheat allergy? Gluten intolerance? Celiac? Neither my husband not I have Celiac (that I know of...

    Actually the testing that my 3 year old is going through right now (sent the lab pack back today) does NOT require him to be consuming gluten....and even better, it does not require blood sample, rather a stool sample -- much easier to collect from a child!!!! We are doing our testing through a company called EnteroLab. My son's ped said that he knows...

    Oh you guys must have read my mind!!! I had planned on logging on today in search of a good gluten-free cake recipe, as we are preparing for a B-day party next week! THANK YOU! Rebecca
  16. kempy99
    Very very helpful info! Thanks for posting!!!!
  17. kempy99
    Awesome advice. Thank you!!!!!!!! My son is 3 years old and I agree that this is such a hard age -- he is old enough to remember that he could eat just about anything and not have to worry about gluten contamination (his symptoms did not show up until just last summer and he does not seem to react to everything), but yet he's not quite old enough to...

    In an effort to be as through as possible, can you suggest other non-food items in addition to the list I've started below that I should check out at my son's preschool in terms of possible harmful gluten-containing sources? paper towels napkins paper plates hand soap playdough finger paint?? glue?? other art supplies???? Am I missing anything...

    Thanks for the replies and the piece of mind (and reality check )! I'm sure I'm not the only one, but being new to this and being scared for the health risks of untreated celiac disease, I will probablly be a little overprotective with my kids until I'm comfortable with my knowledge of the disease and my ability to detect harmful gluten. Thanks again...

    After I posted I read another thread titled "Gluten-free Crackers" - someone suggest Biscotti as an alternative to crackers - this would work perfect for a teething biscuit. I don't know of any gluten-free biscotti, but I'm sure it's out there.
  22. kempy99
    Well, the gluten-free bread that I treid to make my 3-year-old probablly turned out more like a teething biscuit than a fluffy loaf of bread that the recipe boasted I'm sorry I do not have any serious recommendations for you. My son was diagnosed at 2 1/2 so we were beyond that stage. However I have a 3 month old daughter that I'm not so sure what I...

    After discovering that paper towels and toilet paper could possibly contain gluten, is it also possible for baby wipes and diapers to contain gluten? If so, does anyone know of any brand that is gluten-free? I'm off to check the websites right now, but I don't even know what ingredients to look for in non-food products. I'm still learning how to read food...
  24. kempy99
    Sorry I cannot verify if it is or not, as I am wondering the same thing. We drink that as well.
