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! ;)

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
