I am a diagnosed celiac as is my mother. I am afraid my 7 mos old son is also.... we have had trouble with baby foods that have muselix or oats in them. The rice cereal seems to be no problem but now we have entered the teething stage.... any ideas for teething biscuits to buy or bake?

our doc has told us that they won't test him until he is a year old. so we are waiting.

Well, the gluten-free bread that I treid to make my 3-year-old probablly turned out more like a teething biscuit than a fluffy loaf of bread that the recipe boasted :P

I'm sorry I do not have any serious recommendations for you. My son was diagnosed at 2 1/2 so we were beyond that stage. However I have a 3 month old daughter that I'm not so sure what I'm going to do once she gets into solid foods.

Good luck!

After I posted I read another thread titled "Gluten-free Crackers" - someone suggest Biscotti as an alternative to crackers - this would work perfect for a teething biscuit. I don't know of any gluten-free biscotti, but I'm sure it's out there.

You can order online too! BUT look at the ingredients as some of the items on there have gluten/wheat/oats/barley. I can't remember off the top of my head. So check it out and see if there might be something that might work.

I think that the Biscotti might work too. And just crackers. I posted about the "ritz" style crackers in that thread. They would be good for a 7 month old too.

That's the site for gluten-free biscotti someone else posted (sorry I don't remember who)

My sister has used biscotti like a holland rusk (not celiac, she just had a teething toddler at a coffeeshop :P )

But the baby liked it! :lol:

vans gluten free waffles (give them to the kid frozen and let them gum it )

also there are gluten free animal crackers (I can't remember the brand) but they get all gooey too since they are arrowroot, they work well for gumming. ;)

Just curious my 6 month old is having a hard time tolerating foods. She is off all foods at the moment waiting for her intestines to heal. I am the one with celiac disease in our family. We went to a GI doctor and he said no wheat for at least a year. Are your doctors telling you the same thing? It is kind of neat to see someone here with a baby around the same age as mine. Trying to feed it and not knowing if they have celiac disease or not. Keep in touch!

we actually have not had any trouble with foods... as long as there is no gluten, wheat, etc. I have gone to only organic baby food - but I have found that you have to be careful because even with the organics, they often don't put the full description on the front of the jar - so reading labels is a must!

I have also been making my own which is not as bad as it sounds since I am celiac also...

when I do dinner - I cook extra veggies and then pull some out before adding seasoning and mash for dinner that night and lunch the next day. the fruits I have been mashing myself or I found at Target these passifier like things that have a mesh bag on the end and you can put fruit in it and the baby can chew on it and get the juice out. they are wonderful... when I find the name of them I will forward that as well.

but the doc told me to try only rice cereal - the 2 times that we did he was soooooo fussy that I could not stand it. and He seemed to be constipated terribly which is how I started out. so we have waited 2 months and tried it again. this last time last week did not seem to bother him too much but we are still waiting.

you are right though, not knowing if they are celiac or not is the awful part - and hoping that they are not!!!!

keep in touch also!

oh wow that sounds like Maddie. She couldn't tolerate the rice cereal at all. We waited a month and tried again and she still didn't do well on it so the doctor said she didn't need rice cereal. Her GI said she could try oats next time. He wants to wait a little bit before starting food again though. She isn't tolerating formula very well right now at all. I breast feed her but I wanted to wean her before she turned 1. That may not be a choice now we will just have to wait and see.

Do you formula feed?

[we did formula feed - I did breast feed but he is a typical boy and was eating more than I was producing so I had to wean him around 5 weeks. We have been using Similac Soy formula and he has done great on that - no problems. And I tried the rice cereal again monday and again, he seemed more fussy than he usually is. He is such a happy baby that it is easy to tell when something is just not right!

It is frustrating because you feel like you are "supposed" to do certain things and then you can't because it makes your baby sick. And like you, the doc told us that if he can't tolerate the cereal not to worry about it right now because he is still getting formula that has the iron in it.

We actually haven't gone to a GI doc yet, his pediatrician seems pretty familiar with celiac so for now we are just doing the ole' try it and see!!!!!

Please keep in touch, it is great to have someone with a child around the same age and going thru the same thing!!!!!!!!!

      Was a biopsy done when you had your gastroscopy? Concerning your anemia, are you B12 deficient? It's nearly impossible to get sufficient B12 if you are a vegetarian unless you take supplements.

      And I’m anaemic, however I’m also female and vegetarian. I had an iron trans a couple of years ago however it’s starting to dwindle and taking supplements doesn’t seem to work. I can’t seem to absorb it.

Your posting presents a lot of information. But a couple of things I can respond to. One, celiac disease is diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy of the duodenum. So, pathology will need to weigh in. It's not diagnosed on gastroscopy. (At least, not as far as I know). Two, did you get blood tests for celiac disease? You will need to be eating gluten in order for those to be accurate. Three, where was the CT angiogram (of what)? I could go on and on, but thought I'd start there.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
