I Just Love My Daughter's School!

This week is "Field Day" week and today is grades Kindergarten and 1st Grade... my daughter is in Kindergarten and not only Celiac, but allergic to wheat... if she even touches it she breaks out in hives. Traditionally every year they do a chicken roll, where the kids take rubber chickens and roll them in flour and do relay races. I didn't want to keep my daughter home from school this whole week and then have to worry about the whole school being contaminated, because the kids will have flour all over them, so I offered to buy rice flour for the entire Kindergarten and 1st grade (not a big expense cos a case of it at the Chinese market is only $13)... anyway, the school nurse just called me and said the rest of the team leaders for the other grades were talking about it and decided they would take up a donation of money if I would go buy more rice flour for the rest of the grades for their field days the rest of this week! How thoughtful? They don't want to risk any part of the school being contaminated with flour for her! (besides the cafeteria of course but that's always a given... and has not been an issue) I don't know about you, but I am so touched that they are being this concerned that they don't even want the other grades to expose her to this!

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.
