Yesterday, I let DS (3) have some of my pasta for his lunch as he's always wanting whatever I've got instead of what he's got. I said: you've got some of mummy's special pasta. DS said: but I don't like it. I asked him why and he replied: cos it's got gluten-free in it :lol::D He also said later to DH: mummy's gluten free....to eat!! he's now making sure everything I eat is gluten-free. :) I'm so proud of him. Unfortunately, though, when I sneaked some chocolate later in the day, he came upstairs and found me, gave me a big hug and observed that I smelled of chocolate. Can't have chocolate on the sly anymore..

When I first started this I was sitting down to dinner one day and my 8 year old saw me drinking a glass of water and said "can you have that? Is it gluten-free?" :lol:

I love kids!!

My daughters 5 and 3 always ask if this or that is gluten free! It makes me feel good that they want to "take care" of mommy! They have both agreed that their birthday cakes (coming this summer) should be gluten free- so mommy can have some! Like I said I Love Them!!!!!!

Isn't it so wonderful, that our kids care so much!?! My teenagers help me read labels in the grocery store.

Isn't it amazing what our kids absorb from us? My nine year-old has diagnosed more unknowing celiacs than I have, I think, including his teacher, who he heard complaining of tiredness and abdominal pain, and a boy on his baseball team who was also complaining of the classic symptoms. What extraordinary kids we have!

Kids are way smarter than educated grown ups! :)

They haven't had time to get dumb ideas in their heads yet...

ChelsE- You are so funny.

Mine is my 76 year old Dad- who getss it as best as he can. One day at lunch the waitress brought over a loaf of bread and he looked at her in complete horror and said, 'she can't have that- she's gluten-free," The waitress replied, "Yes, sir, but you can." :P he was like oh yeah, right.

That is sooo cute! :lol:

My daughter Eileen, who is 12, thinks anything and everything that is gluten free just sucks.

Well, for Easter dinner, when my Mom was making the gravy, I gave her my gluten free flour mix and my gluten free stock to put in the gravy as Mom had forgotten to bring the stuff to make the gravy (It's made from the juice in the turkey pan and since the turkey has stuffing in it, I never have the turkey or gravy anyway.......)

Well, we are all sitting down eating and there were three different compliments on how this is the best gravy Mom had made to date. Even Eileen chimed in that it tasted delicious! Mom and I were chuckling the whole time! I couldn't keep it in any longer and told everyone that it my gluten free stuff that created such a wonderful tasting gravy. Eileen's jaw dropped onto her plate! :lol:

Hugs.

Karen

My son is too young yet to have those little idiosyncrasies. But for a laugh, my family exchanges colored Easter eggs on Easter. We write the persons name on it.. and color it and just give it to them.. I got 2 eggs this year, one was a pink one with my name on it. The other was not colored with Gluten Free written on it. I got quite a chuckle out of that.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
