Playdoh

My daughter (30months) was just diagnosed with celiac. I am trying to get all the information out there foodwise. She is a terrible eater anyway and is eating virtually nothing right now. But I noticed today that her PLAYDOH is labled containing wheat, does anyone know if this means she can no longer play with it? She never puts in her mouth, but since it will be on her hands?????

I would strongly suggest you not let her play with Play-Doh but make your own, gluten-free, version.

I would recommend getting a gluten-free play-dough or making some at home. There is a chance she could put her hands in her mouth or eat something with her hands after touching the play-dough.

Gluten-Free Play Dough

I made playdough for a pre-school class using a recipie very similar to the one Carriefaith shared and it turned out well(mine was with wheat flour, otherwise the same). I made a new batch every 2 months or so and changed the color according to the season. It keeps very well if you seal it up. If you find that it is a little sticky, add a little less water the next time(leave out a 1/4 cup). Mine needed to be kneaded a little after cooking, while it is still warm. It was a little sticky at first but became nice and smooth after kneading. It was very similar to the real deal in terms of consistancy.

Crayola also makes a modeling clay that she can use - that's what I send to my son's daycare in his art supply box. It feels different than Play-Doh - lighter, I guess you could say. But it works well.

yeah if your child is really sensitive ...the places where the play doh touches will itch or break out,.... like people who cant use wheat in soaps or shampoos... or in tolietry products,, it causes problems.... if they dont eat it.... it can still get under the finger nails.... and cause irritation....

dump it....... be safe than mad at your self......

We also got rid of Playdoh and got Colorations wheat free/gluten free dough from discount school supplies. It is a nice dough and smells nice too. Kind of expensive, but we think worth it.

Hope this helps... :D

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!
