Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 and Rhonda... and anyone else who may have this answer... Children are not suppose to touch gluten or casein foods either?

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 in PA, I think I would have blown a gasket!!! Not only should he not be handling gluten pasta, but the paint can be suspect as well . . . -BJ (who is spending a fortune providing homemade playdough to preschool but it's worth it!)

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Hi, My son is four y.o. and is in preschool. At the beginning of the school year I gave his teacher lists of what he can and can't touch and eat along with a letter of why this diet is so important to him and us. It been an uphill battle, but we are making our way somehow. Anyway, today he came home from school with a string necklace made out of painted pasta. My question (before I start to blow another fuse) is to you all, even if the pasta is painted, he should still not touch it, right? I just need everyone's input before I talk to his teacher yet again. I already provide the rice flour for the playdough for the class, if need be I will provide gluten free pasta too (but it's getting expensive). What do you guys think? TIA in MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 I provided rice pasta for him... it's a pain, but I felt more comfortable about it...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Well-It could be absorbed through the skin-If any particles of gluten get on the skin and get in the mouth then that is another reason-and last things like flour that create dust can be breathed in-all three things can produce a reaction in some kids. A tiny speck of gluten or casein really cn cause big problems.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 I just found out that Ross's pre-K is still using play-dough. I thought they were going to stop, but I saw them playing w/it in pictures. How do you supply it? do you make it and then store it in different tubs for them or what? The other day Ross came home from school w/a smily face painted on his cheek. I know the teachers don't do this on purpose. They just are not knowledgeable. I guess I will have to bring in the GFCF list of school products. FYI - Ross has been pooping 3-4 times a day since he had that cookie 2 nights ago. Usually he would poop once a day or every other. It is not runny, just soft. I guess it did cause a reaction. Loren At 05:46 PM 11/19/2001 -0500, you wrote: > in PA, > >I think I would have blown a gasket!!!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Well here was my solution to the stamps they use for reinforcers-they take the rubber stamp or a wooden block{the kind with pictures} and dip it in food coloring diluted with water. I know artificial colors are not great-but he has no problem with them on his skin and it is gfcf . Re: Re: Handling Gluten Pasta > I just found out that Ross's pre-K is still using play-dough.
