What have you bought?

My 2yo is going to get one , Ive found a sports band for small kids to wear. Its the smallest I can find.

We feel this will keep strangers from randomly handing her candy MAYBE and make people more aware in the family.

I recently bought a bracelet for my 16-month-old son when we found out he has a peanut allergy. I saw these when I ordered my own bracelet and I thought it was really smart:

The velcro is pretty sticky... it hasn't been too hard keeping it on his wrist! And I think it DOES help people recognize that he has a serious medical condition. The one piece of advice I would give you is to skip the permanent marker (to write on the insert). If you want one, just make a tiny strip yourself with the relevant information (name, birthday, your phone number, diagnosis, etc...) and get it laminated at Kinko's. The permanent marker wears off REALLY quickly.

We went to MedicAlert Open Original Shared Link

I really feel a lot better with her having it on all the time. It never comes off & the reps there are very, very helpful. I highly recommend them!

I'm looking at this one:

Its small enough for her wrist and looks friendly for a 2 yo.

Any more suggestions or feedback? :)

My 8 and 4 year old girls and I each wear a bracelet from Fiddledeeids. We are really happy with them. I now make my own bands to hook onto the original i.d. tag so we have all different ones for holidays, etc. Makes me feel better. I do have to tell you, though - the youngest and I have each had our own medical emergencies and the bracelets were not even looked at (I had to point them out). They are looked at by friends and teachers, etc...just not medical team. I asked the ambulance crew about it and they just brushed it off saying that they don't usually check out jewelry (can you believe it??) We are a small rural area, maybe that is why...

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
