    Hi! Here's another really fun idea . . . I made these little shortcakes again tonight (soooo easy!). I filled half of the muffin tins with the batter, then to the remaining batter I added cocoa powder. I filled the other half of the cups with the chocolatate mix and then I added a little choc. batter to a couple of the vanilla ones for a marbled effect...

    Hi! I hope those of you trying this tonight enjoy it!! We put whipped cream on top of the strawberries. I am sure any topping would be great - cool whip, whipped cream, etc. I think this would be good with any kind of fruit too. My son (who actually does not have celiac and is very picky re: gluten-free food) at 4 of the muffins with butter and jam in...

    Hi! I made this recipe after seeing it on the Food Network at the gym yesterday. Still dreaming about it - soooo tastey! So, if you are looking for a quick, healthy, vegetarian dish give this one a try. Even the kids loved it - I made theirs a little less spicy by stuffing a red pepper instead of poblanos (although poblanos are quite mild). Here is...

    Hi! This is a very strange sounding recipe and I had my reservations but alas it was as tastey as it was easy. You will most likely have all the ingredients in your house. GFers and non-GFers alike loved it. The recipe is from recipe zaar and is as follows. Enjoy! 1/2 cup butter 1 cup icing sugar (confectioners/powdered) 4 eggs 1 teaspoon...

    My daughter, like yours is a total horse nut! She LOVES them! She started asking to ride when she was 2-1/2 and by the time she turned 6 she wore us down. We actually thought riding would be a great way for her to have some independence and contol in her life in spite of all the lack of control she has in other areas (particularly food related). To that end...

    Hi! We have had the exact same problem with our daughter. Original number was 180+ then 6 months in she was down to 70+ then another 4 months and she was still high. Doctor wants the number under 19. We were going totally NUTS! You want to talk about anal - I think we were scarring this poor kid for life because we started just freaking out about everything...

    Hi all! Haven't posted in a while - have been busy in the kitchen. Obsessed with making the ultimate gluten-free muffin. I think I've finally got it and have developed a recipe for a mix that can be made into any type of muffin you like. Just start with basic mix then add fruit of choice.

    My 7 year old knows more than the doctors!!! And that's not saying much, I think my dog probably does too

    Hi! My daughter had the same sort of thing but on her abdomen mostly. Before she was diagnosed with celiac this was one of her only symptoms early on. I took her to the pediatrician who said (in the middle of winter) that she must have FLEAS!! Even my dog doesn't have fleas, so why would my then 5 year old? Ughh. Now she has been gluten free for over...

    We LOVE gluten free chocolate chippers!! These are the best cookies I've ever mad (gluten or not!) the key ingredient is flax seed meal. Unfortunately this recipe is kind of fussy and if there is too much flour they turn out like little pucks and if you use too little they spread all over the pan. But if you hit it right you will be in heaven for several...

    Hi! I had my gall bladder out about 8 years ago after being in agony for over 6 months. The dr. was unable to diagnose it for that long because the stones were supposedly so small they did not show up on u/s. I had every stinckin' scope and scan available, upper GI, lower GI, kidney, lung, etc. Very unpleasant in addition to the original and persisting...

    Me again . . . This article references the same study as my previous post but is a more in depth and informative article. Open Original Shared Link b.

    Hi! My daughter has both Celiac and type 1 diabetes. Below is a link to a (somewhat) interesting study looking at the prevelance of the onset of JD after diagnosis of celiac disease. This is slightly different as most research has focused on the reverse, the onset of celiac disease after diagnosis with JD. It seems to be generally stated that people with...

    Hi! I have been thinking about this quite a bit lately. two ideas come to mind 1) trying a bread recipe that produces a dough that is thick enough to form with hands and rolling the buns and placing on the pan. 2) the other idea is a hotdog pan Open Original Shared Link. We've tried making forms out of tin foil and filling them with dough/batter - but...

    Sorry about the "real' bread comment, I should have said "wheat bread". the point was, that she really doesn't care or miss it. We make home made bread (Lorka's Flax bread - Yum!) and we bake bagels and all sorts of other things. She simply does not miss that which she used to have and I think that is why she does not remember what it tastes like. As for...

    Hi! I share your concern on helping kids cope. I am not sure I have any answers though. In fact my daughter (almost 7 going on 27!) has far more answers than I do. Camryn is for the most part an asymtomatic celiac however when she was first diagnosed she had become quite sick. When we suspected celiac we told her that we thought that it was something...

    Here is a weird one we ran into: some (but not all) latex gloves are dusted with "something" that made my daughter sick. We also stear clear of balloons that have the same dusted appearance for that reason. Did some research on this and it seems that 9/10 times it is cornstarch but it is hard to know what it could be the 10th time and one usually does...

    I think it was I who raised the issue of horses previously. My daugter loves them and would be devestated without them. And, while she is perfectly willing to live her life without gluten and not complain about it, living without horses seems to not be an option for her. So this is what we do: she does not feed the horses, she wears gloves when grooming...

    I also have been a vegetarian for 20+ years and my kids' early years were vegetarian as well. When my daughter was diagnosed with both celiac and diabetes last year (at 5) we tried to introduce meat into her diet. My son (her twin) took to it like he was missing it for his first 5 years and we have come to understand how important it is to his diet. As for...

    I remember thinking that a diabetic could not possibly exist without peanut butter crackers - but alas it is possible! Some low carb/non carb snacks in our house are as follows (I'll try to edit out dairy): pickles olives veggies with a little hummus celery & peanut butter cucumber coins ice cubes (believe it or not, she loves that!) If I think...

    Hi - me again. Sorry I had not thoroughly read your second post before my first post . . . Anyway, partial compliance should really not be an option. I understand that you want to keep her diabetes in control and that is a priority but as I mentioned in my previous post, they are not independent of one and other. If she has total villi atrophy then she...

    hi! My daughter was diagnosed a year ago with both type1 diabetes and celiac. And I have also heard that it is somewhat common for kids with JD to present with "silent" celiac. my daughter was also asymptomatic util the last 2 months before diagnosis (after we learned about the JD) and the most important symptom was that she was having severe insulin reactions...

    Hi! My daughter also has type 1 diabetes and celiac. She was diagnosed with both about a year ago when she was 5, almost 6 and now she is almost 7. Please feel free to PM me anytime, I would be happy to share any info or support with you. As far as cereal goes, my daughter eats the envirokids cereals (Panda Puffs, Amazon Flakes, Gorilla Munch and Chocolate...

    Ok, I had to chime in as a non-celiac mother of a celiac child: 1. I hate that I can't make my little girl better 2. I hate that I can't protect her from danger (in the form of gluten) 3. I hate that I can't have this stinkin' disease for her 4. I hate that I whine about it WAY more than she does 5. I hate that even though she has not eaten a crumb...
