Just feed her plain unprocessed foods.  Cookies , pizza and chicken nuggets aren't that good for her.  Try meats, fruits, veggies, etc.  A dietitian might be helpful as you are also dealing with diabetes.

Here Are two lists of gluten free foods:

Eating gluten free need not be expensive if you avoid gluten free processed foods.  Read our Newbie 101 thread located at the top of our “Coping” section of the forum for some valuable tips.  Go to the library to get books about celiac disease and Type 1 diabetes or read celiac websites from celiac non-profits or celiac centers like the University of Chicago.  Consider testing other family members as celiac disease runs in families.  

Do not worry, before you know it, your family will be used to dealing with TD1 and celiac disease.  Your granddaughter will feel much better soon.

Whole foods are simple...I know with blood sugar issues that the cheap stuff like rice, poatoes, fruits all have to be eating in moderation. Try going with low glycemic stews and homemade soups in crock pots, you can use disposable liners to prevent contamination if you can not afford a new crockpot. Try going with stuff like omelettes, scrambles, baked chicken (again you can cook it in a foil lined dish so you do not need to get new cook ware), gluten free labeled turkey bacon and bacon, steamed veggies (get what ever you can get on sale) I go with canned spinach in omelettes often as it is cheap, If you can not afford all new pans etc. that you need to keep her from getting sick with gluten contaminated cook ware I suggest Nordicware microwave cookware, cheap and you can get hte steamers, grill plates, omelette makers that way.
Helpful links for learning the ropes and finding some brands of safe foods. PS as a diabetic she is going to want to stay away from gluten free processed foods for the most art as most are loaded with starches, sugars, carbs, whole foods lower carb options......they do make low carb, gluten free breads, baked goods etc....I run a bakery and do these myself but they are insane in prices, so whole food again.

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By trents · Posted

      Be aware that putting your child on a gluten free diet ahead of an official celiac diagnosis will invalidate any attempt to arrive at an official diagnosis. If at some point in time after commencing a gluten free diet you wish to have your child tested for celiac disease, he/she would need to go back to eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the testing date. And it is often the case that once gluten has been withdrawn for a significant amount of time, the reactions are much stronger when going back on it.

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By Marky0320 · Posted

      I'm investigating the possibility of having celiac disease. My kid has Coffins Lowery syndrome, a rare form of Austism, and constantly has these CVS episodes. We suspect it could be related to Gluten sensitivity or celiac. We just started the diet last week, and we'll keep an eye on any improvements.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      @Scott Adams thank you again!  You definitely 100% get it!!  It's so helpful to know that what I'm going through is normal and part of the process. My endoscopy just got scheduled for June 10 (I'm going to be traveling or else they could have gotten me in earlier) so I have 2 more weeks of eating gluten.  I'm assuming I should just go to the endoscopy and start going gluten free as soon as it's done?  Or should I wait for the biopsy to come back just in case they have to repeat something?

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @NightRaven92! The symptoms you describe definitely align with celiac disease or at least NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). That, and the family history of celiac disease, certainly warrant being tested for it. The first stage of diagnosis involves blood tests looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. If the blood antibody testing is positive, there is usually a second level diagnostic procedure for confirmation involving an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining, looking for the damage caused by celiac disease. So, when you go to your appointment, I would suggest approaching your doctor this way to simplify the experience: 1. For six...
