<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

first how old is the kid?

you can't force the issue, I tried with my kid when she was 2 and believe me if they aren't ready no amount of anything on your part will make it work

I tried and tried and then I gave up, I just started reading her potty books and bought her panties and gave up on the training, one day after she turned 3 she came to me and said, I am ready to try panties now, and so I went and got them she had 2 accidents the first week and no more after that, when they are ready they are ready.

so read potty books, let them go to the potty with the same sex parent sometimes, and buy them cool undies a few sizes too big and wait until they show intrest :D

he sounds interested, keep his spirits up about "potty playing" (that is what I call it when they mimic using the potty but don't actually use it) Explain that his tummy is sick and when it gets better he can use the potty all the time, but make sure he knows that if he wants to try that it is okay, and if he has accidents when his tummy is sick that it is okay too.

I can't stress enough how important potty books and real underwear are though, let him go with you to the store to pick out his underwear and get whatever kind he wants, and make sure to get them at least 1 size too big so he can get them down in a hurry if he needs to.

You can start them as an infant. It's been in the news a lot lately. I've also done it in IRL. www.natural-wisdom.com is a good place to start. You can apply some of the same principles to a 2 year old. FWIW, most 2 year olds around the world are toilet trained, just here in the USA since Brazelton in the 1960s do we wait until kids are "ready" or three or now 4, 5, or 6.

I was potty trained very early (I believe that I was about 18 months). My parents used a cheap doll that could pee and they would set it on the toilet as an example. lol :lol:

This worked for me! I can still remember my mom teaching me :lol:

Vincent ,

Here's a few websites that we found useful. :)

Charmin Potty Kit-Comes with a little book and some other cute things. (FYI-the kit has a sheet of stickers that comes in the envelope that you might take out first, we weren't gluten-free at the time)

This website has some good info. on how to tell if your child is ready and how to begin. The website is great for other topics as well.

Open Original Shared Link

Baby Center is a good place to find information as well.

Another one with tons of links....

What an exciting time!!!

Hope this helps.

Part of the way we were led to a celiac disease dx with our daughter was because she was a bright, cooperative 2+ year old child who was having trouble with toilet training. Once we made the dx and got her on the gluten-free diet the toilet training was no problem. So my only advice is make sure your child has been gluten-free long enough not to have GI problems to deal with when you start potty training.

Good luck, Tania Greenville, PA

Thanks all! I'll read all those links while we wait for his system to recover (again).

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
