Well she has reached almost 3 years old.......

And what a 3 years it has been for her and the whole family.

So she is going to kindergarden 3 mornings a week and she can not wait she has her new school bag which she is very proud of, and a special lunch box for all her food to go inside. She has been to show all the other childern her feeding tube which we asked her if she wanted to or not, before she started and she was very proud to show it off and all the other childern were wow ...... so now she is really proud of it LOL

But how can i be sure she is gluten free away from me. Protective mum bit coming out now!

Do i really need to check things like the soap e.c.t in the toilets and the washing up liquids or is that going to far. it seems that way but a lot of products here do contain gluten just feel a little bit like ......................how far do you go!!!!!!!! My instinct is all the way.......................

She is ready for it and wants to go infact stuggling to keep her at home at the moment got her bag ready every morning and i have to keep saying no emma not till friday :( If i havd realsied just how excited she was going to be i would not have told her LOL But on the other hand it is good to see her like this. Feel sad that is is so pleased to be getting away from me though!! LOL

My baby has grown up into a little nursery girl

take care

I don't see anything wrong with checking on the gluten status of all of the things she'll regularly come in contact with (soaps, paints, clays, bandages, etc) or sending in special things you know are safe for her. It will help give you peace of mind, keep her safe, and show her caregivers how serious her condition really is. Not the least bit crazy as far as I'm concerned. They will probably appreciate not having to try to figure it all out on their own. I know the teachers would feel terrible if she got sick.

I don't know how things work there, but for my son's class the teachers sent home a list of food issues that some of the class members had. For this past year they had a diabetic and a peanut-allergic so they asked parents sending in snacks to factor this into their choice. The more everyone knows about her requirements, the easier it will be for them to keep her safe.

***At 3 my son told me I needed a job because he was tired of having to play with me every day. He said I needed to go talk to other grownups!

Check out everything you can. Do what you need to do to make sure she has the best school experience she can. The teacher might want more information too.

so far so good!!!

she has been in 3 times the thing is they are really anixous about her peg tube ;)

everytime she crys or asks for me they are calling me back to the kindergarden, and when i get there she is fine.

feeling like a yo yo. i did notice today when i turned up for the second time after being called she was looking sad for the teacher who was cuddling her, but trying not to smile when i walked in.

I think she is a little monkey, i took her off the teacher put her down and said "emmas thats enough i am going home now and will collect you with sean at lunch time after your snack"

"ok mummy" she said and off she went no more calls but we shall see how long it last.

it is a tricky 2 weeks because it is just a trial time. she is not quite 3years till monday next week so, can not really question the staff right now, as they think they are settleing her in. don´t think they do it like this normally though! my german is not that great to understand

per-hap i have over frightened them??

hope everyone else is ok

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
