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.

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
