Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I'll ask my GI. is 8 1/2, but is only 44 pounds--VERY tiny for his age. He looks like he is only about 5 years old. But he doesn't act it. Thanks for helping me with this, Laurie!

The Amaranth for example....the first word is Gluten-Free. Not buried down in the description! It's like that on all "our" grains! Prett cool!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Yep, popycorn is a fav here too until Ben got a kernel stuck between his tooth and gum! We had to see the dentist on a Saturday to pull it out. She just laughed at the emergency visit--but the poor kid was in such pain! Where I worked on it for a full 15 minutes w/o any luck, she just pulled it out in one try. Good grief! :0) TIA, & Mike 909 980-2962 From: SillyYaks [mailto:SillyYaks ] On Behalf Of kerri brenSent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 7:40 PMTo: sillyyaks Subject: fiber foods My 9 yr. old celiac presented with constipation.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Yeah...I'm kinda partial to this group too! Wanna hear what we had for dinner not long ago?? This was originally from Recipezaar.com. I altered it a bit but wanted to give credit where it is due! Cajun Style Dirty Rice 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef 1 large onion, diced 1 bell pepper, diced 4 stalks celery, diced 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 1/2 teaspoon onion salt 1 cup water 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1/2 cup chopped green onions 1/2 cup minced parsley 4 cups hot cooked rice Spray a large non-stick pan with vegetable oil spray. Brown meat in pan along with diced onion, pepper, celery and garlic. Drain fat and season with cayenne pepper, onion and garlic salt. Add water and simmer for about 20- 30 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked down. (You may need to add a little water to keep from sticking.) Add Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, cream of mushroom soup and mirliton. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add cooked rice, stir gently, until all rice is moistened. Top with green onion and parsley, stir lightly and serve. Of course I used Progresso Cream of Mushroom soup! The funniest thing was when I told the 10 yr old...oh.....this isn't going to work. I shouldn't put all the soup in it. Thinking that it's not concentrated like s....I reluctantly dumped all the soup in...it made ALOT! But let me tell you! There wasn't enough for TWO dinners! : ) Enjoy & Mike wrote: Thank you, Kathi!
