HI, My daughter came home from school again today with a tummy ache..........hubby went and got her and brought her home. I was out. Anyway, what does one do? I have her some pink stuff (Meijer brand of stomach relief) and then in 20 minutes she was fine and up and playing again. GRRRR

I am going to assume the school has a nurse's office. Complete whatever forms the school requires so they can give your daughter the "pink stuff" that you provide at school. You should also give instructions on how long to wait until they call you.

In our school district the doctor has to complete an offical school form and the parents have to complete an additional form for prescription and non-prescription meds.

I did had to go through this process so my son could have asthma medicine kept in the nurse's office and administered.

i was under the impression that some of the "pink stuff" was NOT gluten-free? is that true? anyone?

As a former teacher (now a SAHM) I'd recommend looking into a 504 plan for you daughter.

This way you can tell the school how they should properly deal with things in guidelines that you feel are appropriate :) You can include things like giving the school nurse permission to administer "the pinks stuff" etc.

Also you may want to talk with your daughter, her upset stomach could be due to nerves or something thats happening with the other kids that the teachers and you may not be aware of! My sister and I both get celiac type symptoms when we are nervous (sometimes lasting for a day other times for a minutes or hours) If there is something going on I'd have a conference with her teacher to get it settled!

Hope that helps!

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
