Dr said it is definatly Celiac now. He thought Hunter got better w/out being gluten-free. I told him the deal. He said to be very strict with the diet. he even said to be obsessive about it.

Anyway, so now I need a gluten-free vitamin for him (he's 3)

a bath soap. He used to use Aveeno, safe? He gets very dry ithcy skin w/ out it. But I hesitate to use it now.

How about Hershey's chocolate syrup. gluten-free? If not then is there an alternative?

TIA for all your help, and for all the help earlier!!

AprilL. In NY, w/ Hunter 3 dx 7-28 on his 3rd B-day

gummy vites are clearly labeled gluten-free

aveeno is NOT safe (oats)

Hershey's will clearly label gluten. I've used their chocolate syrup with no issues, but I prefer Ah laska chocolate syrup because it's labeled gluten-free

Yep - definitely be very strict about the diet.

Aveeno is not safe - they have oat in all of their products. You might try using an olive oil based soap, or looking for other natural soaps. (Tom's of Maine is a good one, IMHO.) That, and applying a good lotion or oil to keep in moisture after the bath. If you can't find a lotion you like (Burt's Bees has a number of good options), you can just go strait jojoba oil.)

I don't know about the vitamins (not kids vitamins, anyway), but Hershey's will label everything, so just check the label. I think it's gluten-free, but ALWAYS read the label. Ingredients can, and do, change at any time. Read the label each time, every time.

Hi! We've got a sensitive little one, too-

We use cetaphyl (or the generic from walmart) as a soap- it's not actually soap and is kept in a separate location in the store, I think by the make-up. But we don't use it in the bath, just as a hand soap - el (2) bathes in plain water. Sometimes I add lavender oil, just a drop or two. Johnson and johnson baby shampoo on his hair once a week, and if he's really dirty I add a drop of the shampoo to the bath as it's filling. Anything else and he breaks out. Every night we cover him, head to toe, in jergens lotion. We used to use burt's bees apricot oil.... smelled so yummy, but the jergens works better for him, I think.

El takes Yummy Bears vitamins. There are more that are gluten-free, but most of them contain other stuff he's allergic to.

best wishes!

Whole Foods here (In NJ) carries it. There's a regular size bar and also a larger bar. If you keep it in the shower, make sure that you put it out of the way of the water or it will get gummy and disolve faster. Otherwise, I'm finding it lasts a long time. :)

I was wondering. Since nicole had been gluten free she hasn't had any rashes or been itching alot,like she used to.

Now the IgE antibody they test,Is that how sensative they are or something else?

Nicoles were

IgE- 272 ----------------------- normal: 0-30

TTG- 80 ------------------------- normal: <20

Is that maybe why she was itchy so much before the diet?

Thanks

Celina & Nicole

Sorry for the double post.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
