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.

That is cool!

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. :)

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ? I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet. Rebound muscle pain so intense ...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
