    Ian's makes some chicken nuggets that tasted normal (or would have if my Mom hadn't screwed up the time on the microwave) I got some fish sticks from them and they were good too. I made them in the oven but they have directions for both microwave and oven. Kendra

    What wonderful news! I am so glad the boys are responding to the diet and that their mom is coming home next month. Keep up the great work! Kendra

    Hi and welcome to the board. My DS and DH have celiac. I try to make all meals gluten-free now to make things simpler. Tinkyada pasta was a lifesaver when we discovered it since it tastes "normal". I still buy bread for myself but other than that we are pretty much gluten-free. My daughter is still using up some cereal we had before diagnosis too. I...

    This is a quote from gluten-free Betsy in the Baking and Cooking section of this forum. The eating gluten free website listed at the bottom of the recipe has some other good recipes on it. The 3 I tried so far were all good. Thanks Betsy!!!!! This is a great chocolate cake. No one can ever tell it's gluten-free. The gluten-free mix called for is Bette...

    I am excited. Luke turns 4 Wednesday but we had his party today. His gluten-free chocolate tractor cake turned out awesome and he loved it. (I had give my MIL the special ingredients and recipe and she made Betsy's chocolate cake and also cupcakes) There are only 5 cupcakes left of the 24 and we also had the frosted cake so I know they liked it and weren...

    The 4 Flour Bread mix at the beginning of that cookbook works dairy free. I tried it when I was baking bread for a friend who was trying the gluten-free/CF diet for her son. I would recommend all of Bette Hagman's cookbooks if you could check them out of the library interlibrary loan. (I know the Comfort foods one is available in KS interlibrary loan because...

    When it was Luke's turn for snack I sent grapes for everyone. I am thinking about bananas next time. He wants to bring some of my homemade gluten-free muffins sometime too. (am waiting a little while on the muffins--we think they are good but don't want one of the kids saying gross and ruining Luke's taste for them.!) Pudding, jello, cheese, fruit, veggies...

    I am so glad Lanigan is doing better. I pray every night for his improvement and that your doctors can figure out how to help him to thrive. Take care--I will continue to pray for you guys. Kendra

    I don't ever hot water bath mine either. We just put wax paper between the jar and lid and then freeze after it has had 24 hours to set up. Mom and I made strawberry rhobarb and then peach jam when I was visiting last time. Homemade always tastes better Kendra

    I used brown rice flour in the mix when I made Betty's cake and it was great. Actually I always use brown rice flour in my baking because it has more nutrition in it. Kendra

    Praise the Lord! What an answer to prayer. I will continue to pray that you get the same wonderful news later this month when you go to court too, Cindy. Yeah! Kendra

    My DH started the gluten-free diet last Oct after the doctor diagnosed him. He started feeling somewhat better immediately and got conistently better until his eighth month when he commented he was doing great. Now, in the last month or two, he seems to be having a lot of gluten symptoms again. At first I thought it was CC since he eats out with the guys...

    This is wonderful news, Nancy I am so happy for you! Kendra

    I just wanted to comment that we made Betsy's chocolate cake recipe and it is AWESOME. It did not taste gluten-free and was better than some "normal" chocolate cakes. My nephews who are NOT used to gluten-free food gobbled it down. I was trying to make it look like a choc zuchinni cake my son was missing out on so we just put choc chips on top instead...

    Concerned Mom, I just wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you as you go to court tomorrow. Hopefully the truth will win! I will be watching this thread hoping to read good news tomorrow night. Take care! Kendra

    Celina, I will be praying that it will be a smooth transition for your daughter. It is a blessing that they were both diagnosed as children so that they will be able to enjoy a healthier life and not have so much to recover from. My DH was diagnosed first and then my DS. The 2nd diagnosis is easier in that you already know what to expect. DS's has been...

    Luke has been on the diet since mid June and is having some more solid stools but has a way to go in that department. (of course he has gotten glutened a couple times too by accident) I'm not sure how long your son would need to be on the diet--my DH said he was feeling noticeably better after 6 months which is forever with a kid! How old is your son?...

    My DS was diagnosed with celiac in June and he has always been at 95 percentile or higher on his height and weight too. Dr didn't think we needed to test but due to excesssive D and stomachaces we insisted and now I am glad we did. I wish that drs realized that "healthy looking" kids can have celiac too. Are you thinking of trying the gluten-free diet...

    I will add your situation to my prayer list too. It is just scary how someone who loves and cares for their baby can get them taken away by false accusations. Take care! Kendra

    Tanya, I am sure you have already tried this brand but thought I would recommend the Avent sippy cup in case you hadn't. My kids would NOT every take bottles and DS didn't like sippy cups either. This was the only one he would take. The one with the white sippy thing is the softest and she could chew on it too if she needed to explore. The sippy inserts...

    I am praying for Lanigan daily. I hope that you can get the referrals you need to get to a dr that will figure out what will do to HELP! Hugs! Kendra

    I use Bette Hagman's 4 flour bread mix that is in her Gluten Free Gourment Bakes Bread cookbook. I can mix a bunch up at once and then only add a few ingredients and it is ready to bake in the bread machine. It also works in the traditional pans too. I think you can buy the 4 flour mix from Authentic foods but I always just make my own from her measurements...

    Thanks Nini for the recipe. We tried it this morning and Luke is having a blast playing with play dough again. I saved half of the batch for him to take to preschool on Thurs and the rest is for home. I think he is glad he gets to play with play dough with no wheat in it as he would say. Kendra

    I talked to one of the wheat farmer moms who farms a field next to us this morning and she said that if they have a "modern" combine (not really old from the 50s or something) it should harvest all of the wheat heads and there shouldn't be gluten left in the straw. She suggested asking what the straw if from--wheat or something else. Rye isn't a concern...

    Natures Path Corn Flakes which are lightly sweetened with fruit juice are good too. My guys are gluten-free, not me, and I think they taste normal and use them in all my recipes that call for cornflakes. Kendra
