This may not be that great to others.. but my baby.. my little little baby, started feeding himself today!!! He started feeding himself Cero's cinnamon flavor last week. Tonight I made him nini's chicken in nugget form with green beans.. I gave him a fork and he put it in his mouth! We had a bit of trouble at first getting it back out (he didnt pick up on that right away) then suddenly he just got it!! I am sooo happy.

Most of you know Colin was born severly premature, so he is really behind cognitively than other babies his age. He is now 18 months, he doesnt walk or talk yet... and now he is just beginning to feed himself!!

Thanks for letting me share!! I needed to tell everyone.. I think I am on my way to my rooftop to shout it over the neighborhood!!!

That is soooo wonderful......one day you will wish he would be quiet for just a second!!!Colin is darling &he looks like he's well on his way to catching up. The first step is always the hardest. My friend's baby was a premature & he blossomed after he made the initial step-- in school & is a bit smaller than other kids but his learning skills are the same as others.

Way to go Colin!!!!!

Congrats!!!!

I have to say, I fed my friends baby at her sisters wedding while she was running around taking pictures, and OMG, I couldn't believe how long it took. This kid has some appetite, but ofcourse you have to make everything in the smallest pieces. I think I spent 30 mins. feeding her. LOL!!!

So big congrats!!

(Ok, I know that's not why you're excited about it, but at the time when I was feeding her baby I remember thinking, wow if I were a parent, I would be praying for the day they can feed themself).

That is great news! You're little guy will catch up at his own pace. I bet you are soooo proud of him right now. I to have a preemie due to celiac. Our daughter was a 29 weeker now only wieghing 14 lbs at 1 yr...she has just started crawling. She is feeding herself some finger foods but still doesn't eat anything out of a bottle so she has a tube in her tummy to feed her. It is amazing how the little things with these guys are so signifacant. All the way allong being able to hold them to everything else seemed so much more significant with our preemie than with our first. Enjoy every milestone with your little mircle!!! As he gets ready our daughters favorite finger foods are the arrowroot cookies by midel...they're gluten free and shredded cheese. Congrats again on your little guys big milestone this week.....!!!

Yea Colin!!!!! Those are some good fine motor skills he has there! It's not unusual for babies not to talk at age 18 months . . . both of mine were one time, HUGE, and neither talked until 24 months -- then NEVER STOPPED! Eighteen months is a little delayed for walking, but not that much -- and that's for a TERM baby. In school, we were taught -- ugh -- just lost the words! You have to subtract the amount of weeks premature he was from his chronological age . . . . so he's NOT far behind for how old he REALLY is.

Celebrate a GREAT milestone!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Yea--that chicken recipe really belongs in a gluten-free Hall of Fame somewhere! :D My husband (who can eat anything) now requests it!

Colin has good taste! ;)

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
