I have two kids but the youngest (17 mo. ) is the one with the possible Celiacs (not DX by docs yet) I changed his diet because he had been sick for 4 months. At the begining i started with a couple of things (1 week) but then threw everything glutened in my pantry away (which was almost everything!!) And went and bought everything gluten free with the exception of cheze it for my 7 yr old daughter. When we started the diet I told my daughter that before giving my son anything she needed to ask me first. We had her glutened snacks for school in a lower latched cabinete and told my daughter that she could eat anything she wanted with gluten at school and outside the house. well, my hudini like son somehow got in to the cabinete and ate some cheze its and that was the end of that!! Now we are completly gluten free and my daughter doesnt care. She eats gluten free pasta and gluten free everything and she likes it very very much! It's become second nature in three months for all of us and she really doesn't miss it. She even has her sandwiches on gluten free bread for her lunch at school!!

Our house is 90% gluten free now (with the exception of some of hubby's snacks) but when it wasn't all the gluten was out of reach for my girls and they had a "safe snack cabinet" that had healthy gluten free stuff for them. That way they could get their own snacks and I didn't have to check everything every single time.

Also, I don't keep gluten in my fridge at all so everything in there is safe (except for Daddy's butter that has a big red X on the lid in marker)

We have a mixed lot around here...my son and I are gluten-free but everyone else isn't. I spent most of this year with 2 extra students home schooling at my house, and ended up making tons and tons of gluten PB&J's for them...I think this has really effected my health because I have been really up and down but I've been very careful about what I eat myself. I am just about ready to cut everyone off the gluten and go completely gluten-free, that way I'd at least know if I'm getting CC'd or if I may have some other problem in addition to the gluten. It should be easier this summer since the students won't be here.

Other than my husbands breakfasts and lunches which include regular bread and non gluten-free deli meat, everything else is gluten-free.

Hershey's Kisses are gluten-free.

Hershey will clearly disclose gluten sources in the ingredient list, so if you don't see wheat, rye, barley or oats mentioned, the product is gluten-free.

I don't have the package anymore and I'm starting to react to something so I was worried about eating them today.

Floridian,

How do you do with soy. They may have soy lecithin in them. I know chocolate chips and carob chips do.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
