Okay, I know this sounds really gross, but the end result is actually quite tasty. I have a hard time getting my daughter to eat anything nutritious, so I often have to get creative. This evening, I crushed up Cheetohs and used them to coat chicken. I baked them at 400 until they were brown. They actually taste really good. I didn't use milk or egg or anything on the chicken, just dipped it into the cheetoh powder. Not only does she like it, but I do too. I know it's not the most nutritious thing, but at least I finally found a way to get her to eat meat. Normally she won't touch the stuff unless it's processed.

Also, if you have a food processor and a toddler, I highly recommend buying a popsicle tray and making popsicles out of fresh veggies, berries, and juice. They're actually not horrible, the cold really hides the flavor. My daughter LOVES these! I do about 40/40/20, veggie, berry, juice.

I have one of those too, my youngest sean is the pickiest child I have ever come across. Mainly my fault for catering to it for so long. Were trying to introduce new things every day now cuz its just getting old. How could he choose a hot dog over a NY steak? :blink: The cheetoh crust sounds good to me, kudos for your creativity.... :D

That sounds really good. I tried the same thing a few weeks ago with Cool Ranch Doritos, and they were so bland I was shocked. You'd think that something as strongly flavored as Doritos would have the same thing come through as crumbs. But no, not at all.

Thanks for the recipe!

Nantzie, try adding some ranch dressing powder mix to the crushed doritos... See if that enhances the flavor. I may just have to try that. Sounds delicious.

When I contacted Hidden Valley, they said that their powdered ranch mix has traces of gluten. I was such a Hidden Valley fan before. Are there other brands of powdered ranch mix? I haven't even looked yet.

Someone on here has a recipe for powdered ranch dressing, maybe Elonwy. I don't remember. Maybe they will see this? Or you could put up an ISO post. Either way, that sounds fabulous with the ranch chips. I'm going to have to try it.

      Hey all!

      Thank you! I’m currently the breadwinner as my husband is pursuing a finance degree so the nights that I am at work they can eat whatever my husband makes but when I am home we have gluten free meals and no complaints so far! I definitely don’t have a choice but to switch but I think slowly transitioning my family is good!😀

      Hey all!

      Hey everyone! I just joined and figured I’d introduce myself, my name is Savannah, I’ve been with my husband for over 8 years and we have 3 kids, a 7 year old, 5 year old, and 3 year old. I was diagnosed with celiac disease beginning of October along with microscopic colitis, lactose intolerance, and sucrose intolerance. I got sick the day before my 5th ...

      I don't react the same way to all of them but do react badly to many of them where others may not. I also have a touch of hypochondria so when the labs come back too high or makes me anxious.

      What do you mean when you say, "blood thinners are all the same to me"? Do you mean you react negatively in the same way to all of them? Otherwise, they are not all the same. They work in different ways. Aspirin causes the platelets to be less sticky. Warfarin and related meds work by reducing the production of platelets. You might talk to your doctor about...

      Welcome aboard, @Savannah Wert! There usually is a learning curve involved in arriving at a consistently gluten free diet since gluten is found in so many food products where you would never expect it to be. This article may be helpful:  It is good that you have identified some other foods that you cannot tolerate at this point as this is so common in the celiac population and it often goes unaddressed for years. You may find that the lactose intolerance disappears as your gut heals. No guarantee, though. Keep an eye out for the development of celiac symptoms in your children as the likelihood of first degree relatives developing active celiac disease is somewhere between 10% and almost 50%. Yes, the studies on this are all over the map. Is your home gluten free or will you be attempting to avoid CC (Cross Contamination) while fixing gluten-containing foods for your family members? It is always best for everyone in the home to commit to gluten free eating in the home environment when one member has celiac disease.

I was diagnosed with celiac disease beginning of October along with microscopic colitis, lactose intolerance, and sucrose intolerance. I got sick the day before my 5th wedding anniversary and thought it was just the flu, which lasted over 3 months. I finally had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and was diagnosed. This has been such a hard transition and any tips are greatly appreciated!

I am dismayed but not really surprised that I may be in the small group of people to suffer a particular side effect. I was originally on warfirin. I think that was the one where I had trouble with vitamin k numbers and or was anemic with low hemoglobin, red blood cells etc.  My blood pressure drops to very low numbers after taking something as simple as turmeric for a few weeks. My diastolic had touched 50 one day before I finally figured out that the herb was the problem. No intention to go for 40 so never looked back. I wanted to try benfothiamine but one of the listed side effects is bradycardia and other stuff that I am not going to challenge esp since I have had and still have to a lesser degree heart rhythm problems.
