Chocolate Fountain

Ty is invited to a birthday party this coming weekend. In lieu of a cake they are having a chocolate fountain to dip fruit and marshmallows. I checked out the chocolate the mom said she was going to use, and Ty can't have it (there's a may contain disclaimer AND it's from a bulk bin).

What kind of chocolate can be used? Could I provide her with Hershey's Chipits chocolate chips? Would they work?

Thanks in advance.

Here is an awesome fondue recipe that is SUPER easy to make. I make mine in the microwave. You could just send this with him and let him dip the fruit and marshmellow into it. It is HEAVEN!!

Do you get the idea that I'm a chocoholic? :lol: Yummmmmmmmm

It is SO good.........spoonworthy (eating it directly with a spoon, no dippers needed). It also makes a great icecream topping. Now I am craving it.....lol

Just curious how the birthday party went. What did you end up doing to handle the fountain? Find any gluten-free chocolate for it?

I got the mom Hershey milk chocolate chips and she mixed that with a bit of canola (I think) to get it to flow. I provided them with gluten-free animal crackers and pretzels and they provided fruit. Then when it was time for cake, she used a ladle or big spoon to take out chocolate and pour it over the cake with candles so there wouldn't be any cake crumbs in the fountain. Obviously, Ty didn't have any cake but at least he was able to have more chocolatey stuff since she avoided contamination.

It was a busy day. We met the birthday boy's dad and sister at the arena and they took him home at 3pm. Then they went down south to Laser Tag, then back to the birthday boy's house for pizza. (Ty took his own gluten-free pizza crust and pepperoni, they had safe sauce and cheese). Then chocolate fountain, open presents and assorted goofing off. They finally went to sleep about 20 to eleven, and I'm sure it was a big disappointment to Ty getting up at 7 this morning for hockey. He went to the game (his team won 9-1 :o ) and then he went back to the party for some backyard hockey and more goofing off until 11.

He had lots of fun and they were pretty careful, I think, so a good time was had by all. Actually, on the way from hockey back to the party Ty said, "I'll bet Dad and Walker had Domino's last night and went to McDonald's before practice this morning." I asked why he thought that and he said, "Because I was on a sleepover, so they wouldn't feel bad." He's right. They did. :ph34r:

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      Just diagnosed today

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
