Dd And Ds Have Celiac

[sclark9602]

Okay, DS's stomach hurt for a couple of days last week (Wed. and Thur). Well starting on Saturday DD's tummy started hurting too. DS didn't have diarrhea or throwing up but just a quizzy feeling. DD has had diarrhea and throw. up since Sat. I have been keeping an eye on it and was thinking maybe it was a virus and not Celiac but now I'm thinking it's celiac. Friday I looked around at diff. foods/bev. they've had to see if I bought something by accident. Well I noticed that the hot choc. (store brand) that I bought had Modif. food starch in the marshmellows. But the allergy info. said Milk and Soy. I took the hot choc. away and they are not able to have anymore. Could this be due to gluten?? DS is fine and has never been as severe as DD. To me it is the pattern of being glutened. I feel so bad that I made that mistake. The only other thing that is different is that they have had donuts from Kinnikinick. They have never been sick from those before. Why don't they put Gluten on the food labels? It is always either milk, soy, wheat, ect.......

Thanks

I meant to say that my DS is fine this week. His was over after a couple of days but DD's is lingering on.

Modified food starch in the US should be fine. It would have to say wheat on the label if it contained wheat starch.

Oh Know!!! I just read the Heinz 57 sauce and it has malt vin. in it. I've been feeding that to my kids thinking that was okay. Not that the malt vinegar was okay but I could've sworn that H. 57 was fine. I think that I confused it with A1 steak sauce. I feel really horrible now.

We all make mistakes, even after doing this for awhile (for me about a year and a half), and we all feel bad about it, too. Just remember it does no one any good for you to feel guilty for too long, just try to remember that mistake and continue to always be vigilant (as I had to remind myself just a couple of weeks ago, too )
