    Hi Amanda, I hope your kitty is feeling better. I know how hard it is to worry about your fuzzy little friend. We had a scare with our kitten and the contaminated food this week. I keep looking at him feeling thankful that he seems o.k., knowing how much joy he brings to our house. I hope you have some good news about your kitty. Cali

    Thanks for the list! How about the Hershey's Milk Chocolate eggs in the pastel wrappers? Nothing looks suspicious in the ingredients, just thought I'd ask. Thanks! Cali

    I agree! When glutened...Our daughter gets headache, stomach ache, leg cramps, extremely moody, complains about everything, D (sometimes), dry sticky eyes, it is a nightmare....so anyway I think this disease can bring on all sorts of symptoms. Trust your instinct and don't let people break you down. You know your childs behavior better than anyone else...

    You can make a really great stuffing using the Vans waffles. My gluten-free hubby says it's the closest to stove top taste he's had!! Cali

    These are my daughter Abby's favorite cracker, the almond nut thins and the cheese nut thins. She seems to eat them without any problems. We also love Glutino crackers, they are the most like a real ritz type of cracker. Cali

    Thanks for the info on Scoop Free litter! Does anyone know of some other brands of cat food (kitten food) that is confirmed gluten free? thanks Cali

    We eat Polly-O all the time with no problems. I was assured by Kraft that they are Gluten free! Cali

    I believe Yummy bears and Gummy vites are two different companies. My kids love both. The Yummy bears are a little more expensive here in Massachusetts. Cali

    I'm not going to take a chance now. I'll never be able to sit down to Christmas dinner and relax knowing there is a chance my family will be sick!! I saw a boars head ham at the store that I am going back to get right now. It said gluten free right on the label. The only problem is it was $30...yikes. Merry Christmas!!

    Oh No!! Now I don't know what to do...I bought this ham yesterday. The ingredients looked fine. Help!!!

    I think confectioners sugar is the same as icing sugar. Oh well I'm off to the store to read some labels!! wish me luck! Cali

    Happy Holidays!! I am making gingerbread house frosting/glue and it calls for meringue powder. I've never used or bought this before, is it gluten free? Also confectioners sugar, is there anything I should watch out for? thanks Cali

    Hi Cali You are correct, I am the only one in the house without celiac. I do still eat gluten, but I am so careful not to contaminate any surfaces or use any of the same appliances or pots and pans...even utensils. As time goes by I realize that it becomes less appealing to even make my gluten containing food. I do all of the cooking, shopping and...

    I agree with the others, I wouldn't do it. Plus once I suspect something could possibly gluten my family, I have to fix it or it will haunt me! I'm freaking about your name and screen name. My name is also Cali and my family calls me CaliCat. I've never met another Cali before. Cali

    We love Glutino bagels in our house!! We eat them at least twice a week. This may sound silly, but how do you pop them in the toaster without defrosting them firs. I usually put them in the microwave for a minute then slice and toast. Is there a better way? I would love to know! Cali

    Hi- I quickly saw on a website somewhere that Hello Kitty (makeup,lip gloss, nail polish) products might be gluten free. I have been searching but can't find any info actually confirming this. Before I call the company, I thought I'd ask if anyone here knew the answer. I would love to give some nail polish to my 5 yr old for Christmas. She loves Hello...

    Codetalker- what brand of cashews do you buy? I'm trying to find nuts with no cross contamination issues. Thanks Cali
  22. purplemom
    Pirates Booty, Smart Puffs, apples, Boars Head deli meats and cheese, chicken, salsa and tostitos. I could go on but now I'm hungry!

    We give our kids (5 & 2 Yrs) Yummi Bears multivitamin and mineral (blue box). Kind of pricey but they say free of gluten on the box. Good Luck Cali

    I can see you've had lots of feedback, but I wanted to say gluten was ruining our family. Our daughter was turning our home upside down and we were so frustrated. She couldn't focus, was frustrated easily, cried constantly, etc. After her diagnosis of celiac and going gluten free she is back to our pleasant, happy, focused child. She is so much more reasonable...

    Good ideas-Thanks! I'm going to try the stop & shop website and Dragone. I'll let you know what I find. Cali
