Megan's First Birthday

TCA

Just wanted to let all of you know that my baby girl had a wonderful gluten free first birthday. Because of her heart surgeries, I made her a gluten free heart shaped cake with pink cream cheese icing. It was delish! She couldn't eat any because of her gagging issues, but she had fun playing in her cupcake. Thanks for all the support over the past few months. She's doing so much better now that we're gluten-free.

We went to a feeding clinic yesterday and her dietician's mother-in-law has celiac disease. It's so awesome to have someone who understands to help us at last! Just had to share my excitement!!! The new dietian has also found something called Compleat Pediatric, which is something we can give her by her feeding tube to increase her caloric intake and put some weight on her before surgery. I hope it works since all the formulas made her sooo sick. This is basically blenderized whole foods like beef and carrots, etc. The only thing she has tolerated so far is breast milk and my supply is falling off.

We also got a call from Vanderbilt today and the next sugery is scheduled for August 15. Please keep her in your prayers.

Gotta go get the little princess into her bed. She's snoozing in her swing at the moment after a long day of partying!

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
