We started Belle on her gluten-free diet on saturday night. She has been doing really good and understanding of the diet. Amazed me since she is only 3! So this am I went out to clean the snow off of the car. I came in and she informed me that she had eaten 3 dog biscuts!! The first ingredient is wheat! I can't believe my little stinker! I just hope this doesn't set us back too much!

Oh my! It's funny what little kiddos will put in their mouths...but I really hope she doesn't get too sick from them!

However, if she remembers she got sick because of something she wasn't suppossed to eat, that could prevent this happenning again. I hope she stays well!

I cleaned out a very low shelf that had had pots and pans in it when my son went gluten free. It had all of his finger foods *he was three, as well*. I made a big deal about how these were HIS foods and if he wanted a snack, he could go get one himself. I marked his name on all of the containers as a back-up of what exactly was his. Ultimately, I ended up purchasing a large pantry cabinet from Ikea and deemed that his food closet. All his food continued to be marked with his name... as a back-up form of identification for his peace of mind *as well as mine*. It worked wonderfully. He never ate anything that wasn't his because he felt so proud of having his own stuff in it's own spot.

For some reason 3 year olds love dog food. My son would eat relatively little people food but would clean out the dogs bowl every chance he got.

Yep, my daughter went after the dog food too. Wheat withdrawals, or possible pica could have been a reason she was too young to tell me at the time why she was eating it.

Oh no!! I hope she doesn't get too sick from it!

Both of my kids like to eat dog/cat food. what is it with that?? I can't keep the baby away from it! He also barely eats any table food, but goes straight for the dog dish. go figure.

I hope your little one feels well!

I recall tasting liver snaps once. One of the colors was better than the rest, though I don't remember which one :)

I heard about a kid who was exchanging his food with that of the dog. His parents had no idea, until the DOG kept getting sick!

Now, if you child starts drinking from the toilet...

Well we had only been on the diet since saturday so I am not sure how much I would see. But she sure is crabby this afternoon! Not herself at all! Just can't wait to see if gluten-free helps her!

I've only been Gluten Free for about a month and a half and I already notice the difference...I feel SO MUCH BETTER!!

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.
