<{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....

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).

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.
