What is the general opinion on which is better to use, when you don't have access to water? for gluten purposes

I would think the wipes.  They should be able to remove the gluten.  The sanitizer just kills germs.

Gluten can not be "killed" or "neutralized." It must be physically removed. Sanitizer will do nothing.

Wipes, if used with vigor, will help, but may still leave a trace of residue. If you can't get to soap and water, I would use them. But soap and water is better.

Wipes for sure. As pointed out the sanitizer does nothing.

 

Totally a side not but not sure if this is relating to school or not due to the time of year, but if so, get your 504 plan changed. Your child absolutely MUST have the right to go the restroom to wash as needed. Wipes will do in a pinch, like on a field trip and such or when out of the house, but for day to day safety are not at all adequate.

Oh...I never thought of that!

 

And yes, I agree....wipes are better than sanitizer. Of course, I'd go for the wipes over the hand sanitizer regardless....I can't stand the stuff myself. Gives me migraines. And I don't want my 6 year old using it either. I about fell over when I ate lunch with him last year and saw how they lined the kids up as they were coming in the lunchroom to eat....great gobs of sanitizer on their hands. :( I actually thought that was what was making him sick at first since we don't ever use the stuff at home.

I am thinking school. She starts Kindergarten next week. Normally she will have full access to bathroom, it is mostly for in a pinch. This year she will not have lunch in the lunchroom, but i guess i will figure it out for next year..

I was thinking you would say wipes, that has been my preference so far.

 

I will be talking to her teacher on friday

 

thank you

Hand sanitizers make my daughter and I feel nauseous. She gets headaches from them like you do! (She's 11.)

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
