Celiac Symptoms in Children

The symptoms of celiac disease cover a wide range and are variable from person to person, but according to the Canadian Celiac Association, there are some symptoms that seem to be particularly common among celiac children.

These are: vomiting, irritability, behavioral changes, delayed growth or puberty, short stature, and dental enamel abnormalities.

According to Celiacs, Inc., the symptoms of celiac disease usually manifest in children after three to five months after they first ingest gluten, but this period of time may be shorter (“as short as one month”).  Their website lists additional celiac symptoms commonly found in children, such as a large abdomen, abnormal stools (large, pale, or floating), flattened buttocks, and acute diarrhea and dehydration.  Older children will experience “more subtle” symptoms such as: poor appetite, poor growth, and anemia.

My Article on U.S. Gluten-Free Food Labeling to Appear in Journal of Gluten Sensitivity

You can order a copy of the Winter print edition of the Journal of Gluten Sensitivity to read my article, “U.S. Has Yet to Define ‘Gluten-Free’ for Food Labels,” in which I take up the critical subject of the FDA’s gluten-free labeling regulations.

The Journal of Gluten Sensitivity is a print and online quarterly newsletter co-edited by the founder of Celiac.com, Scott Adams. It publishes articles geared toward those on the gluten-free diet for reasons of celiac disease, gluten intolerance, as well as wheat allergies, keeping readers up-to-date on the latest scientific research and developments in the gluten-free arena. I am honored to have my article included in its Winter publication.

Cajun’s Choice- Shrimp, Crab & Crawfish Boil

One of my lovely readers purchased Cajun Choices Shrimp, Crab and Crawfish Boil and put her own spin on it. Take a look at what she has to say and check out the Cajun Choice review.

 

“I love to use my “Crab Boil” for other things besides a base for soups. I actually put it into a salt shaker and sprinkle it on top of chicken, fish, vegetables, etc.  I also like to add it to my gluten free flour when i’m breading my chicken to make chicken tenders. I like to use it in replace of salt because of the added spices, which increases the flavor to any dish.”

Just Poppin’ “Crunchy Munchy”

This recipe is an adaptation of a recipe submitted to one of my testers, Miranda Jade. She loved some of the holiday treats that are on sale and decided to make a slight change and come up with her own recipe. Hint: her favorite starts with the word Moose.

 

After a couple tries- the below simple recipe was her winner! Thanks Miranda Jade!

 

Ingredients:

 

12 oz Chocolate Chips

12 oz Caramel

½ cup nuts crushed up

Sorghum- 6cups popped

 

Directions:

 

  1. Pop enough sorghum to fill up 6 cups.
  2. Spread sorghum on waxed paper evenly.
  3. Melt chocolate and drizzle evenly on top of half of the sorghum.
  4. Melt caramel and drizzle evenly over the other half of the sorghum.
  5. Sprinkle nuts evenly over all sorghum.
  6. Let sorghum cool completely.
  7. Peal sorghum off wax paper and put in a jar in hunks.
  8. Shake jar lightly to mix.

 

Enjoy!

 

Again, thanks Miranda Jade.

 

Check out the review I did on the company Just Poppin. They have the best sorghum!

Gluten-Free Shepherd’s Pie with a Cauliflower Twist

This recipe is an old favorite which I made gluten-free and without potatoes.  I use mashed “cauliflower” as the topping and no one even knows.  Not even my pickiest tester – my daughter.

¾ tsp chili or chipotle

2½ tbsp of cornstarch

6 oz peas (frozen or fresh sweet peas)

 

DIRECTIONS – Preheat oven 420

 

Topping

Steam cauliflower till soft in 2½ cups of water (drain and save water)

Place in bowl and mash with a fork

Take your Bullet, hand processor, Vita-Mix or blender and puree – (add butter and milk if you desire slightly creamier, but not necessarily at all)

Salt and pepper to taste.

 

Filling

Heat oil in large skillet.

Cook onion about 2 min on med

Add celery, carrot and garlic – cook about 8 – 10 mins.

Add beef for about 5 min – stir – break up pieces to be small

Add the cornstarch to 2 cups of your saved water from your steamer and whisk it – add to beef and boil around 1-2 min low

Pour filling into a 2 qt dish

Evenly distribute cauliflower mash over the top, sealing edges.

Bake approx 30 min
