How Do You Keep Others From Feeding Your Child

I am hoping that others parents can help us out here...last week on a camping trip with our church, our son was glutened...it was while he was at another families campsite and totally innocent on their part. He is 3 and really does a good job of being very careful what he takes from others. His big brother (6) felt really bad and said that he thought it was ok....anyway what I am wondering is how do those of you who have been around a while with this handle outings like this...we have joked about getting him a shirt that says "Don't feed the kid!" :D

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all!!

And teaching the kids not to take anything from anyone without asking a parent first

We lable our child with bright green neon sitckers that say the can only have food from his bag when we leave him at pre-school/sunday school. We also talk to every parent that might be in postion to be over him. It took asome time but we got everyone trained. I find being very proactive, and makeing it easy as possible on the other parents is best. Instead of teaching them all about how to find safe food, I give them a bag of safe food and tell them he can only have his food. Stuff like that. Takes time and persistannce, but everyone we have worked with has been good about it, and I think most are whne you cna be protactive and make it easy on them.

thanks...the shirts are cute and I did order a few!! It seems so strange, but when I think I have thought of everything...something like this happens and I am amazed at how I missed that one!!

Cooper does do a good job of saying no, but I guess he thought that he said no to the cinnamon roll so why not indulge in a little fruit snacks. Oh well, we live and learn.

I appreciate this shirt ideas..they are cute. I was just wanting to avoid sitting 15 families down at the next campout in June and brief them!! Thanks!!

Belle has lmost become paranoid about getting gluten as she knows how sick it makes her. (she just turned 4 a month ago) She will not take anything w/o asking if it is gluten free. She then asks us. She even asks me if something is gluten free before she takes it from me! LOL! And i am gluten-free too! I am still afraid that one day I won't be around and she was say is it gluten-free and someone not knowing what it is will say yep! I do talk to all people in charge when leaving her. And I was at a b-day party with her and I had walked away and they offered her pizza. She said no thank you I can't have that, I brought some food. I was so proud!

My kids have bright neon stickers on them and their bags, and stuff that say "DO NOT FEED ME ANYTHING"

that way I can triple check anything that passes their little lips.

Also, it's pretty much a given around my church "DON'T FEED JOEY'S KIDS ANYTHING"

most people don't really know why, but they know not to feed them LOL

I think sitting fifteen families down - briefly - and letting them know is VITAL. Someone allergic to peanuts (anaphlactic allergy) would do the same, and this is really a serious issue as well. You're not putting them out, you're just letting them know something important.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
