What Would YOU Do If Your Doctor Asked You?
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted June 8th, 2011 at 5:36 pm
To “celebrate” the anniversary of my son’s diagnosis with celiac, I called his doctor to request an appointment. I expected this whole process to be very uneventful and, to be blunt, really boring. That was an incorrect assumption. For starters, his GI Doctor, who I thought was...

Four-Year-Olds and Blood Tests, the Trials of a Celiac Mommy!
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted February 2nd, 2011 at 12:45 am
Logan goes in for his nine month check up with the Pediatric GI doctor the beginning of March…that means we’ve been GF for nine months. I can’t believe it! Thinking back, the initial diet change was rough, but I feel like we’ve really got it down. I think...

Oatmeal + Sugar Cookies: Another Form of Kryptonite
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted December 11th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
This year, as usual, no one signed up to be Room Mom for my second graderʼs class. So, as usual, I ended up with the responsibility. We found out that my son had celiac at the end of the last school year, and the traditional end of year party is a pizza party. So my hands were a little tied...

Thanksgiving – My G-Free Game Plan
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted November 17th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Thanksgiving is a really big deal at our house. I live a long way away from my side of the family, and my husband’s parents are British. Which means for the last eight years, my husband and I have hosted his parents and sometimes various other family members for a Thanksgiving feast. ...

Until Then…We Bake!
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted November 16th, 2010 at 11:49 pm
I’m starting to notice in talking most adults about Logan or when things come up in conversation about going gluten free, I almost always get a super negative response. It revolves around “that’s terrible” and it basically comes down to “that sucks, or what can he eat.” I see...

Back in the Swing of G-Free Parenting
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted October 4th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Sorry, it’s been awhile! Bryan, Logan, Mia, and I are doing great! We went to dinner tonight at our local Perko’s with my Mom and Dad and I told Bryan, “Don’t order fries.” As always, a big issue because the fries are not in a designated fryer. Bryan and my Dad, who were going...

Thinking Inside the LunchBox
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted September 19th, 2010 at 6:40 pm
Being a G-Free parent requires a fair amount of creativity, especially when it comes to packing a sack lunch. Sure, we could send our kids off with the same old G-Free PB everyday, but with a little bit of extra effort, we can make them the envy of the lunchroom. Here are a few ideas to...

Cruisin’ GF
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted August 20th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Jennifer & her ENTIRE family just went on an Alaskan Princess cruise, which included her Celiac Mom, Brother & Son Logan.
The cruise was wonderful…well, let me re-phrase that…it was great, but the first two days were really, really rough. We went on a cruise to Alaska . It was...

Everybody’s Doing It…..
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted August 16th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
Hey y’all, eating gluten free is definitely having a “moment”! In just the last two weeks, I’ve read about two different celebrities eschewing gluten. The first article I read was about Gwyneth Paltrow’s upcoming cookbook. Apparently, she’s into eating healthy and one of...

Turning 6 G-Free!
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted July 23rd, 2010 at 10:52 am
This past week the self-titled gluten free boy had his sixth birthday. Last Saturday we had a small army of crazy kids invade our swimming pool on what happened to be one of the hottest days of the Fresno summer so far. As I sat back sipping my gluten free sno-cone wondering which would melt...

Easy G-Free Fix…Eat Ethnic!
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted July 22nd, 2010 at 7:31 pm
When my son was first diagnosed with celiac disease a few months ago, I kept trying to find decent replacements for many of his favorite foods. We tried multiple brands of tapioca hamburger buns with moderate success. We suffered through more than a few not-so-tasty gluten free pastas,...

Two Problems …Solved
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted July 3rd, 2010 at 9:44 am
Who knew I would end up being a full-time baker…well not really, but I feel like it. We’ve made sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, 2 different types of granola bars and bread. I guess it doesn’t really sound that bad, and don’t get me wrong, I like to cook and...

How Do You Catch That?
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted June 17th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
So last weekend, I’m hanging out playing Legos with the boys. Ethan starts to whine that he’s tired. Ayden, his four year old brother, retorts that he’s tired because he ate a Pop Tart at Grandma’s house. This, of course, piques my interest, so I start asking about one hundred...

United Front…So I Thought
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted June 15th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
We went out to dinner for the first time the other night since finding out that Logan is CD. We just went to our local Perko’s to get something quick and affordable with the kids and my parents. I have to say that Perko’s, especially our waitress, was great with understanding...

It’s confirmed…
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted June 7th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
It’s confirmed…Logan has Celiac Disease. I ended up getting into the doctor sooner because of a cancellation and I’m so glad. I’ve been so worried because his tummy has been hurting so much and I really expected a major change when going on a GF diet. Our GI...

Summertime…and the Livin’s G-Free
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted June 2nd, 2010 at 7:37 pm
At 3:45 tomorrow afternoon, summer vacation officially begins. While I am totally excited about the prospect of not having to get up and gently encourage (yell at) my kids to get dressed, having my Celiac first grader home for the summer means no more cheating while he’s at school. I’ve...

G-Free Mommy for a Week – Jennifer’s First Post
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted May 31st, 2010 at 8:25 pm
Logan ’s been on the gluten free diet almost a week. It’s been a challenge to put it lightly. Logan ’s always been picky, but when we found out about his peanut allergy about a year ago that put a different spin on things and now with the gluten free diet we just keep spinning. ...

24 Days, but who’s counting?
by G-Free Foodie Mommies, Posted May 20th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
Hi. My name is Hilary, and I have been a G-Free Mommy for 24 days. Yes, I know that sounds like that phrase that people use as an intro at an AA meeting….but at times that’s what being a G-Free Mommy feels like. I would imagine that an alcoholic feels like something they love...
