Pls Help: Need To Find Celiac School Forms And Info.

Hi everyone - I have a couple of questions.

Help! I have an important meeting with the staff at my child's school -- originally scheduled for a week from now, and they've moved it up to tomorrow --, and thought I would download the celiac disease informational sheets for her school to bring along w/me. Unfortunately, the link is not working at our local children's hospital website which contains all of the necessary info. and requirements for a celiac child in the classroom. Can anyone pls. refer me to another site that will have the necessary forms and info. for teacher/nurse/guidance counselor, etc?

Secondly, where she was recently diagnosed, I'm still in the learning process myself and find it overwhelming to be "teaching" these educators on keeping my child safe in the classroom. I'm trying to gather info on paint and glue that are safe. Anyone know if watercolor and or tempura paints are a risk? How about Elmer's glue? Can't find any ingredients on the labels and don't know where to begin. I don't even know how to advise the educators and I'm frustrated that I don't have some kind of book/guide to work with as of yet, it would have saved me a ton of time. Any info is appreciated, or if you know of a website that has the general safety tips on glue, playdoh, classroom materials info that will help the teachers and I. Thank you! Emily

Google "Gluten Free School Supplies"...you will find several links, but I was hoping for a 2010 listing. Perhaps some of the moms here have a current listing.

I'm in the same boat..my son is starting kindergarten next week. The teacher is very open and is actually changing products and cleaning all the play-doh toys. She gets high school students in her room before school starts to help her.

This is what I have found...

ok..I can't add the link I guess I need to figure that out. But go to Discount School supply and they have a list of allergy friendly school supplies.

Good luck to everyone working on school education!! :) I certainly have my exhausted and overwhelming moments. It is hard to advocate when the subject feels so emotional sometimes. I am still trying to learn and understand more about effective advocacy.

Here is one of my favorite links that I used last year:

I hope it helps. And big hugs!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      That is the goal, after all.

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine. Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years. Doctor recently said to not stop. My 25(OH)D is around 2...

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I respectfully disagree. You cherry picked a small section from the page.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      Here is a link to the spreadsheet I kept to track my nutrition intakes. Maybe it will give you ideas. It is not https so browsers may flag a security warning. There is nothing to send or receive. http://doodlesnotes.net/index3.html I tracked everything I ate, used the National Nutrition Database https://www.foodrisk.org/resources/display/...

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
