How Cool Is This?

Man, every parent always wonders what they are in for when they drop off thier child at a trusted day care when the normal teacher not there. Even worse for us with celiac disease-Kids. Well today is a odd day for us because my wife has extra chior practice for the Church Christmas concert, and I had work so needed to leave our son with the childcare at the church. Normaly we plan at least a few extra mins t breif new teachers, even have a full page printed doc for them to refer to if they have any questions, etc etc. He normaly only goes to Sunday school, and twice a week "pre school" there. I do not knwo the staff that works on Saturdays...

Well I saw the teacher and asked if she was familure with my son, and she said "No, but its okay I have Celiac Diseas"

I was speechless, I was not ready for that :lol: I had in my mind all the things to say about it, and what to durring snack time, and etc. I was not at all prepaired for that answer!

This also shows that we are doing a good job getting the word out to the staff there about him, since I did not have to tell her about celiac disease, she knew he had it.

Felt odd to leave there with out the normal speech on it though... like I was betraying my son's care or somthing. :lol:

Oh and get this... She had her son with her, and as I left I heard him say to her "He has celiac disease too? Cool." LOL celiac disease is cool now? Man guess we are the "in crowd" for a change!

It's amazing how many people have celiac. There's so many out there suffering out there that also have it and don't know it. Before I became sick, I never heard of gluten or celiac.

You're very lucky to have found daycare with a celiac caregiver. I'm sure it gives you peace of mind. :)

Well now everyone will want this, so they can be part of the "IN" crowd.

Believe me, I didn't want years of agony to be part of this.

Yep, that is so cool! Not that I think it's great to have celiac disease, but I am so looking forward to the day when it'll be like saying you have diabetes - and get an understanding and/or sympathetic nod instead of the blank stare and endless questions.

Granted, I live in Los Angeles, city of unusual foods and diets, but at a recent moms meeting we had several new people, about 8-10 moms total plus kids, and at least 3 of the families were wheat free :) :) And, we just found out the boy down the street is gluten free. :) :) So now we know where to go if there is an earthquake and all that's handed out are the dreaded MREs, lol....

Vincent - that must have been so relieving! That is beyond cool! As awareness increases and more people are diagnosed w/celiac disease, I think this will happen more and more. :)

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
