After 6 mo. just staying gluten free never means you can "venture out a bit". Even if you do not see visible signs of an intolerance doesn't mean the bowels of your children are staying healthy. There can still be serious damage to their digestive tract even without any outward signs, i strongly recommend you don't put your children through "testing" gluten products after you know they are intolerant. Studies have shown after constant irritation to the digestive tract from reactions of celiac, you're putting them at risk for colon cancer or worse.

It sucks to NEVER be able to run through a drive thru! I once gave her McD's fries... the manager used a clean fryer that had fresh oil and hadn't prepared any other food that day. My daughter still reacted. I found that interesting... so I looked up the ingredients and here is what I found on McD's website... " French Fries: Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor [wheat and milk derivatives]*), citric acid (preservative), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil ((may contain one of the following: Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness), dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent). *CONTAINS: WHEAT AND MILK (Natural beef flavor contains hydrolyzed wheat and hydrolyzed milk as starting ingredients)." Looks like that beef flavor might have enough wheat in for some people to react to... or per chance she reacted to the TBHQ, as we are a chemical free house as well due to her sensitivities, although I have never seen that kind of reaction from a chemical additive before! There is so much conflicting information out there! I go back and forth every day on whether Rice Dream Beverage is ok... afterall, it meets the 20ppm guidelines. Our current household stance (one child GF, one about to be in addition to myself) is to stay clear of all things that could have any trace of gluten for the first six months. Then maybe venture out a bit and watch closely for any reaction. We seem to be having good luck with K3 doing this... so that's how I'm going to handle my diet as well as my youngest daughters! We are absolutely loving Bobs Red Mill Gluten Free Oats. Yummy! So nice to be able to bake with oatmeal again! Cheers!
