Back To School Lists

Gluten-Free Snack and Candy List-This is a great list to give to teachers, babysitters, daycare or any caretaker of your child during school or afterschool hours when you as a parent are not able to care for your child.  We as parents always want what is best for our children, and especially when dealing with a Gluten-Free child we always want to be there to make sure they are not eating, digesting or playing with anything that has gluten.  However, there are going to be times when we cannot be there.  So a list like this is great to pass on.  Please add to this list that Betty Crocker frostings and GF Mixes are now being offered.

Gluten Free Basics-is a great list re-organizing your life to be gluten-free with tips on what to avoid, how to simplify.  The obvious and un-obvious rules of cross-contamination and where gluten hides.  This list also gives you ideas and planned gf menus on what to serve for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

Gluten-Free Candy List-This is an older list so there may be newer things that are not on this list that are in fact gluten-free.  This list will come in handy around Halloween. 

GF Candies Info and phone number List-This list provides most candy manufacturers phone numbers so you can be proactive and call their customer service numbers for GF information.

Don't forget there are great sites out there to support a parent with a gluten-free child.  Whether you are just beginning or need a helping hand, try these sites:

www.KidCeliac.com-a site designated to help parents with gf children.

Coping with CD-GlutenFreeLiving.com has a section for coping with CD.  Gluten Free Living is a great magazine that I highly recommend anyone to Subscribe to.  From a beginner to an expert, this magazine has great articles on topics like restaurants and food to cross contamination and lipsticks along with articles from Celiac specialists, Doctor's and Nutritionists.

All about KIDS
Blogs worth checking out if you are a parent of a gluten-free child:

What To Feed Your Kids is a great blog about a family who has gone gluten-free.  You can read about their lives and the great recipes they make with their kids.  For those of you who have children and want to cook at home, there are some fun recipes on this blog like GF onion rings!  Yum!!


Gluten Free Letter For School-GlutenFreeIsLife is another great blog written by a GF Mom.  She has written a letter that she used for her son.  I think every GF mom should print this out for their children.


Enjoy! xoxo Julie

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel...

What's in The Gatorade You Are Drinking?

I don't know why I never blogged about this, but I have known it for some time.  And was just reminded of this the other day while I was at CVS and felt the need to spread the gluten-free word.  I also tweeted it. Did you know that certain Gatorade flavors like the fruit punch (red) flavor has caramel coloring in it?  Yup! It totally does. In the U.S. a processed product considered gluten-free has 20 or below 20ppm ( parts per million ).  Therefore products can seem gluten-free and even say gluten-free, even if they are not 100% gluten-free because our standards allow that and consider it Gluten-Free.   And different processed foods contain different levels of gluten-some contain less then 10ppm or even 5 parts per million.  That's lower but still...no cigar. The less you consume the better and the article I just found on Celiacdisease.about.com  points that the more under 20ppm/10/5ppm products you consume, the more gluten in your system...
