I was just wondering if there was anyone from the Kansas City area on here. I am new with Celiac Disease. My 7 year old daughter has it, and I have no clue what I am doing!!

Thanks

Hi my name is Sandy, and our 7 year old daughter just got diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  We saw the nutritionist on Thursday and WOW!!!! I had NO idea what all this entailed.  I am dumbfounded right now.  I am so scared for my daughter and I am scared that I will mess something up and hurt her!!!!  I know I need to calm down, but this is sooooo serious.  When we get insurance on ourselves ( our children have insurance ), my husband is getting tested for Celiac also.  Our 4 year old has Graves Disease and so does my husband.  We have gotten our 4 year old tested and she is fine.  Anyways, sorry to get off subject, but I am wondering what kinds of lotions, toothpastes, shampoos etc are gluten free.  We are in the process of getting a new toaster and making other changes, but we are really concerned about detergents and the above listed.  If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you all, and I am so glad I found this site!!
