[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS also has Celiac (and my DD has a nut allergy).  No way would I ever require or even request that people vacationing with us be entirely gluten free (or nut free).  This is absurd.  It's not hard at all to ensure that the GF child gets GF snacks and meals that have not ben cross-contaminated.  Really.  It is not difficult at all.  OP, I'm angry for you that your family is being so unreasonable!  [/quote]

+1, from another parent of a child with celiac.   It's easy to accommodate.  You don't have to have two gluten free kitchens.  You don't even need one.   Just make sure the gluten free family has what they need to cook - pans, toaster, etc. - and don't use those for gluten-containing foods.  Your kids eating crackers in the kitchen are not going to make the celiac kid sick as long as they don't leave a tremendous mess.

For most simple meals - barbecued chicken, pasta, etc., we just eat gluten free.  But there is no need to make everybody eat gluten free.   The basic rule we follow is that we will eat whatever we want as long as there is a gluten free equivalent.  So go ahead, eat hamburgers and hotdogs on regular buns - just make sure the kid who has celiac has gluten free buns.   [/quote]
