Yesterday, I let DS (3) have some of my pasta for his lunch as he's always wanting whatever I've got instead of what he's got. I said: you've got some of mummy's special pasta. DS said: but I don't like it. I asked him why and he replied: cos it's got gluten-free in it :lol::D He also said later to DH: mummy's gluten free....to eat!! he's now making sure everything I eat is gluten-free. :) I'm so proud of him. Unfortunately, though, when I sneaked some chocolate later in the day, he came upstairs and found me, gave me a big hug and observed that I smelled of chocolate. Can't have chocolate on the sly anymore..

When I first started this I was sitting down to dinner one day and my 8 year old saw me drinking a glass of water and said "can you have that? Is it gluten-free?" :lol:

I love kids!!

My daughters 5 and 3 always ask if this or that is gluten free! It makes me feel good that they want to "take care" of mommy! They have both agreed that their birthday cakes (coming this summer) should be gluten free- so mommy can have some! Like I said I Love Them!!!!!!

Isn't it so wonderful, that our kids care so much!?! My teenagers help me read labels in the grocery store.

Isn't it amazing what our kids absorb from us? My nine year-old has diagnosed more unknowing celiacs than I have, I think, including his teacher, who he heard complaining of tiredness and abdominal pain, and a boy on his baseball team who was also complaining of the classic symptoms. What extraordinary kids we have!

Kids are way smarter than educated grown ups! :)

They haven't had time to get dumb ideas in their heads yet...

ChelsE- You are so funny.

Mine is my 76 year old Dad- who getss it as best as he can. One day at lunch the waitress brought over a loaf of bread and he looked at her in complete horror and said, 'she can't have that- she's gluten-free," The waitress replied, "Yes, sir, but you can." :P he was like oh yeah, right.

That is sooo cute! :lol:

My daughter Eileen, who is 12, thinks anything and everything that is gluten free just sucks.

Well, for Easter dinner, when my Mom was making the gravy, I gave her my gluten free flour mix and my gluten free stock to put in the gravy as Mom had forgotten to bring the stuff to make the gravy (It's made from the juice in the turkey pan and since the turkey has stuffing in it, I never have the turkey or gravy anyway.......)

Well, we are all sitting down eating and there were three different compliments on how this is the best gravy Mom had made to date. Even Eileen chimed in that it tasted delicious! Mom and I were chuckling the whole time! I couldn't keep it in any longer and told everyone that it my gluten free stuff that created such a wonderful tasting gravy. Eileen's jaw dropped onto her plate! :lol:

Hugs.

Karen

My son is too young yet to have those little idiosyncrasies. But for a laugh, my family exchanges colored Easter eggs on Easter. We write the persons name on it.. and color it and just give it to them.. I got 2 eggs this year, one was a pink one with my name on it. The other was not colored with Gluten Free written on it. I got quite a chuckle out of that.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      My only proof

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go! I'm certain you'll feel much better. Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free. The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities...

      My only proof

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get cal...

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!
