I received several responses to some of my questions and since several
wanted to know what responses I got, I decided to post to the entire list.

I recieved alot of responses here (don't know for sure if these are
all GF based on previous posts) ---
Jo-Krisps from Jowar Foods (806)798-7993
Rice Twice
Erewhon Aztec Corn & Amarath
Malt-o-Meal Corn Bursts (I read the package and it contains annato)
Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles (I believe this has been questioned before--
It certainly would be wonderful if these were GF for kids).
U.S. Mills Poppets
Breadshop Crispy Rice and Corn Flakes
Barbara's Corn Flakes
Quaker has some -- check ingredients

Only responses here indicated that people buy the chunk cheese and
grate themselves.
*******

No responses on this one.
*******

Several responses indicated that children's liquid Tylenol is NOT GF
but Motrin is GF.

Only a few responded here (none concerning the temporary tatoos --
several asked to let them know about this)
o use GF shampoos since they are absorbed into the skin (Tom's of Maine)
o wash children's hands very well, paying close attention to the
fingernails after playing with any art supplies
o make your own playdough using rice flour
