Celiac Traveling Bear

I found this and thought I would share. I thought it was a great idea and even though it is based in NY, the bears travel all over the country. Just thought it might be something fun for the children (and the kids at heart) on here to look into...

What a truly wonderful idea!

That is so neat. How exciting that would be for a child - to feel connections with other Celiac children. Hope you do this and can then report on it.

We are thinking about having a bear come to visit our celiac kids group in the Kansas City area.

I think the kids would love it.

Looking forward to sharing this with the other kids as I am a facilator for the kids group.

We did this in Dec - my daughter loved it! The bear went everywhere with us for 3 days. He even did yoga with her and came with us to one of the GFRAP restaurants! After we sent the bear back I went to build-a-bear to buy the same one that visited her because she was so sad to see him go and wanted to keep him with her. It was a great experience and gave us the opportunity to educate the kids in her class (1st grade), as well as her teachers. I highly recommend it.

      Will do! Here are some other test results from the last few days using the Elisa Technologies tests. All of these products tested Gluten Free, ( or more accurately, under 10ppm)  - Teddies crunchy Peanut Butter  - Philosopher Foods Sprouted Almond Butter - Jacobsen Salt Co Black Garlic Ginger Salt

      Yes, it is important to get 25OHD blood and PTH tested and monitored.  My doctor tests me 4 times a year along with homocysteine and the other blood panels.  Massive vitamin D doses under a doctors care can raise vitamin D level quickly, but those doses wear off in about three months, so either sun or supplementation needs to be instituted in order to not lose the gain.  There have been numerous clinical trials on kidney transplant patients with doses as high a 1.5million IU with no ill effects.  But those are a one time bolus under the care of doctors.  One conumdrus of these really high  dose supplements is a higher incidence of falls.  The answer is that the patient feels so good, they are more active than usual before regaining strength and balance.

      Yes, 50k IU daily would be an a short term front end loading dose for those having critically low levels but you wouldn't want to take it for an extended period.

      That's 20ppm, not 20,000 ppm. https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-education-resources-materials/gluten-and-food-labeling "The rule specifies, among other criteria, that any foods that carry the label “gluten-free,” “no gluten,” “free of gluten,” or “without gluten” must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten."
