    The first few weeks are rough - our first three weeks made us seriously question whether we were doing the right thing - our DD's pain was worse - she would writhe and scream and cry. It was horrible. Then after three weeks it all just stopped overnight. Lots of hugs, reassuring, and don't discount her pain - it's real. So many people (myself included...

    It all started with a box of Glutino pancake mix. I'd been more than happy with my Incredible Edible for Kids waffle recipe but was feeling lazy and the picture on the Glutino box just looked so inviting... so I bought it. We made the pancakes and you seriously cannot tell them from the wheat version. They're delicious. So we decided to reduce the...

    Black licorice pipes, whips... surely they can be made at home? I have come across a couple of recipes for black licorice chews (square caramels) made without any flour at all, so they might be ok, but I want the flour type of recipe (and of course substitute a gluten-free flour for it). But such a recipe is surprisingly hard to find. Anyone out...

    Doing the happy dance here! My 5yo DD and I were talking about being glutened yesterday and she's famous for gagging at bad smells (driving by a farm, etc.). She said that sometimes when she's on the toilet, the smell's so bad she gags! I'll have to get her a bottle of this.

    Thanks! LOL about the plastic on the loaf - I usually use a towel to cover my bread - does plastic work better (aside from the well-meaning but clueless relatives of course!?)

    Usually when I pick up something (at a party or someone's house) people assume I'm checking the fat content! Whatever. No one should have to apologize for looking at the label - IMO more people SHOULD be looking at what's in the food they eat!

    These cinnamon rolls are great... let them rise for a long time (10 minutes longer than they say in the recipe in my experience....) Great warm with butter. Open Original Shared Link

    My younger daughter and I both have issues with gluten if not full blown Celiac disease. We eat gluten-free at home, but I let my older DD have prepackaged gluten snacks in her lunches (crackers, cookies, cereal bars, and bought lunches on occasion). For the last month she's complained of headaches and sore belly. Do you think an intermittent...

    Mirena - good for 5 years and reduces your periods to next to nothing, completely reversible and the company boasts a better effectiveness rate than a tubal ligation... something to think about. I hated how I was on the Pill - no libido, weight gain, stretch marks, breakthrough bleeding when I took the pill late, forgetting to take it at the very same...

    Thanks Courtney. I sure hope it was the bar as the soup was so so good! m.

    We don't have issues with dairy - just gluten. This was a glutening as DD had wet farts for 24 hrs and went through about 20 pairs of underwear - her sure sign of having eaten something with gluten. The can opener should be ok... we don't eat gluten in the house. I threw out the chocolate bar wrapper because it was a one-off thing. We'll probably...

    Hi Karen - I too have been looking for the sauce mix (I usually buy a box of Kraft Dinner and throw out all but the cheese package, substituing Tinkykada pasta). I found this at amazon .com http://www.amazon .com/Kraft-Macaroni-and-C...g/dp/B000I60JUW looks like the stuff they're talking about above?

    DD and I ate Amy's Tomato organic soup last week - it was delicious and we shared a can of it. Contrary to my usual practice we also ate a chocolate bar that was sold door-to-door as a fundraiser, chocolate with caramel insides something like a Caramilk bar. Ingredients looked ok to me. DD was glutened by one of these things - no doubt about it....

    For the record, US Smarties are like Canada's Rockets.... Canada's Smarties are like US M&Ms Canadian M&Ms are the same as US M&Ms LOL at the thought of Rockets in a blizzard!

    Thank you all so much! I'll try the recipe with anticipation - we just made our first home-made ice cream with my Kitchenaid ice cream attachment that was a birthday gift and now we'd like to have a real cone! Now to find a cone-shaped mold. I see they are available in metal form with an umbrella-like handle at the end - but I've never seen such a...

    I highly recommend buying the Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids book: Open Original Shared Link .com/Incredible-Edible-Gl...6431&sr=8-1 The foods are kid-friendly and we use most of them for our entire family here - especially the corn dogs (better than the normal ones), the deep fried chicken nuggets (which we use to make sweet and sour...

    We'd love to have an ice cream cone recipe.... any one have any success?

    First a little background. My 5yo dd is probably Celiac. She was failing to thrive, had every symptom in the book: big belly, sore belly, pale loose stools, nasty disposition, pale, unexplained anemia, skinny. We took her to the doctor because she was getting too old for a toddler belly. Bloodwork was "positive" for Celiac, he recommended a biopsy but...

    Oh Karen - before I found the new Glutino chocolate cake mix I would have agreed with you... but now I have a new favourite! You should try it.

    I just have to tell you all to try the new Glutino chocolate cake mix. I was skeptical, especially when I followed the directions and it looked so soupy going into the oven... It's just as good as regular cake. I'm not kidding. My husband, who refuses to eat gluten-free baked goods (he's not the Celiac in the family but we're all gluten-free at home...

    Thanks for the reminder that it's not just the candy! I find that so much of our lives revolve around food... and candy... A little bunny and a deck of cards with some time with Mom and/or Dad to play with them is probably much more appreciated!

    Well, it's been a year and what a year it's been. It began with a feeling of being overwhelmed. Three weeks into gluten-free she had a relapse after being glutened by a food we thought was gluten-free. Around 2 months into it we decided to go 99% gluten-free at home (the 1% is for beer - and we're quite certain our 5yo is not getting any ;-) ). We got...

    Hey Jo. Sorry you had a crappy (and expensive) day in the kitchen... when you're ready to try brownies from scratch again, try these. They're great. No flour in them at all - I made them for a kids' birthday party and they loved them. Just make sure to process the beans well - so no one finds any whole! Oh, and they're just the ticket for pms...

    I'm sorry you wasted a whole cup of butter... not sure why you clarified it? I wouldn't do that with the following... How about a whole new recipe, tried and true. I typed it up for ya. No flour blends to work with just straight up recipe. The only substituing I've ever done is to omit the nuts as we're nut-free (present company excluded LOL!).......
