I am a diagnosed celiac as is my mother. I am afraid my 7 mos old son is also.... we have had trouble with baby foods that have muselix or oats in them. The rice cereal seems to be no problem but now we have entered the teething stage.... any ideas for teething biscuits to buy or bake?

our doc has told us that they won't test him until he is a year old. so we are waiting.

Well, the gluten-free bread that I treid to make my 3-year-old probablly turned out more like a teething biscuit than a fluffy loaf of bread that the recipe boasted :P

I'm sorry I do not have any serious recommendations for you. My son was diagnosed at 2 1/2 so we were beyond that stage. However I have a 3 month old daughter that I'm not so sure what I'm going to do once she gets into solid foods.

Good luck!

After I posted I read another thread titled "Gluten-free Crackers" - someone suggest Biscotti as an alternative to crackers - this would work perfect for a teething biscuit. I don't know of any gluten-free biscotti, but I'm sure it's out there.

You can order online too! BUT look at the ingredients as some of the items on there have gluten/wheat/oats/barley. I can't remember off the top of my head. So check it out and see if there might be something that might work.

I think that the Biscotti might work too. And just crackers. I posted about the "ritz" style crackers in that thread. They would be good for a 7 month old too.

That's the site for gluten-free biscotti someone else posted (sorry I don't remember who)

My sister has used biscotti like a holland rusk (not celiac, she just had a teething toddler at a coffeeshop :P )

But the baby liked it! :lol:

vans gluten free waffles (give them to the kid frozen and let them gum it )

also there are gluten free animal crackers (I can't remember the brand) but they get all gooey too since they are arrowroot, they work well for gumming. ;)

Just curious my 6 month old is having a hard time tolerating foods. She is off all foods at the moment waiting for her intestines to heal. I am the one with celiac disease in our family. We went to a GI doctor and he said no wheat for at least a year. Are your doctors telling you the same thing? It is kind of neat to see someone here with a baby around the same age as mine. Trying to feed it and not knowing if they have celiac disease or not. Keep in touch!

we actually have not had any trouble with foods... as long as there is no gluten, wheat, etc. I have gone to only organic baby food - but I have found that you have to be careful because even with the organics, they often don't put the full description on the front of the jar - so reading labels is a must!

I have also been making my own which is not as bad as it sounds since I am celiac also...

when I do dinner - I cook extra veggies and then pull some out before adding seasoning and mash for dinner that night and lunch the next day. the fruits I have been mashing myself or I found at Target these passifier like things that have a mesh bag on the end and you can put fruit in it and the baby can chew on it and get the juice out. they are wonderful... when I find the name of them I will forward that as well.

but the doc told me to try only rice cereal - the 2 times that we did he was soooooo fussy that I could not stand it. and He seemed to be constipated terribly which is how I started out. so we have waited 2 months and tried it again. this last time last week did not seem to bother him too much but we are still waiting.

you are right though, not knowing if they are celiac or not is the awful part - and hoping that they are not!!!!

keep in touch also!

oh wow that sounds like Maddie. She couldn't tolerate the rice cereal at all. We waited a month and tried again and she still didn't do well on it so the doctor said she didn't need rice cereal. Her GI said she could try oats next time. He wants to wait a little bit before starting food again though. She isn't tolerating formula very well right now at all. I breast feed her but I wanted to wean her before she turned 1. That may not be a choice now we will just have to wait and see.

Do you formula feed?

[we did formula feed - I did breast feed but he is a typical boy and was eating more than I was producing so I had to wean him around 5 weeks. We have been using Similac Soy formula and he has done great on that - no problems. And I tried the rice cereal again monday and again, he seemed more fussy than he usually is. He is such a happy baby that it is easy to tell when something is just not right!

It is frustrating because you feel like you are "supposed" to do certain things and then you can't because it makes your baby sick. And like you, the doc told us that if he can't tolerate the cereal not to worry about it right now because he is still getting formula that has the iron in it.

We actually haven't gone to a GI doc yet, his pediatrician seems pretty familiar with celiac so for now we are just doing the ole' try it and see!!!!!

Please keep in touch, it is great to have someone with a child around the same age and going thru the same thing!!!!!!!!!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
