I am enjoying the information available in this link, 10 essential school resources for food allergy parents.

It is disappointing that the CDC recommendations do not address celiac disease, as I think the principles of inclusive and safe schooling should apply.

That 12 reasons not to have a peanut free school writer is a real whack job.  I would guess she is a psychopath, as she clearly has NO empathy for other humans (small children of school age)  I have never met a person who had "entitlement issues" because they avoid an allergen for medical reasons.

 

It sounds as if Her "picky eater" child has demanded peanuts and she is unable to maintain any reason or logical thinking, so she is declaring it everyone but her own problem.  As if eating nuts is a God given right, even if it is risking death for other humans in the room.  ~ I just can't take this obnoxious force it down your throat opinion seriously.

 

Kharma may be the only thing that can teach her humility.  She has closed comments to her "articles".  I have no doubt that she is unwilling to listen to any opposing opinions or logic for that matter.

"There are other types of food-related conditions and diseases that range from the frequent problem of digesting lactose in milk, resulting in gas, bloating, and diarrhea, to reactions caused by cereal grains (celiac disease) that can result in severe malabsorption and a variety of other serious health problems. These conditions and diseases may be serious but are not immediately life-threatening and are not addressed in these guidelines."

 

 

That is why Celiac isn't addressed in the voluntary CDC guidelines.

Yes, the CDC guidelines specify their exclusion of celiac disease.  But should immediately life threatening medical conditions be treated substantially different from chronically life threatening ones?

My daughter was hospitalized for dehydration numerous times. She is Celiac and also has Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EE). Dehydration is very serious and the body does start a shutting down process to protect vital organs.  She would just start vomiting and within 2 to 3 hours she was severely dehydrated.  sunken eyes, chapped lips lethargic, and it gets really hard to find a vein to put an I.V. into

 

I did end up taking her out of private school and she now does public school over the internet.  I just wasn't willing to see her suffer from accidental exposure to allergens some of which may not easily identified because of possible airborne allergens that may have been involved with EE.  The private school was very diligent, but some other situations with parents were as outrageous as that blogger.  (girl scout leader, parent volunteer, and so on)

 

I just couldn't fight ignorance everywhere and risk her health.  I never planned on "home schooling" but now the health benefits, flexible schedule, and the piece of mind that she is learning all of her lessons fully, and extra time for 4 H and advanced learning situations/outings (university extension weekend seminars). 

 

There are other options available when the local public school district is unwilling to work with you.  My personal opinion... this free range eating all day in every class is just stupid.  The classrooms and equipment will be filthy and not a lot of workplaces will allow employees to free range eat all day.

I don't expect you to agree with their reasoning.  These two conditions work in very different ways.  If the leading celiac disease specialists and hospitals and manufacturers want to fund another set of guidelines, that's great. These things cost a lot of money.  The FDA can't even get it together enough to make manufacturers label for gluten as a top 8.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
