Thank you both so much for the advice. I have seen a lactation consultant and she does not think it is a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance but I did think of that. She tested my breastmilk and at the beginning of a feeding it has more fat than most formulas on the market.

I have stopped eating the chips so will see if that helps. I did notice that Rice Dreams said it contained gluten and I am using Pacific which states that it is gluten free. It is so hard as I do not have the reaction to the food to tell what could be causing it. I stopped buying bulk rice flour because I realized the risk of cc was incredibly high and that could be part of the problem. I am also taking the entire house gluten-free which is not making my husband very happy but I hope it will help.

Thank you both again. : :)

He can join my hubby....no really tell him he will pretty much eat the same ol stuff he normally eats (chicken,steak,pork..etc). I would allow him to have his own shelf in the cabnit with a few gluten foods that he can only have to take to work or when the kids are in bed. My hubby has on his shelf cookies, granola bars and cereal. My hubby basically only eats gluten free at home, but for his work lunch we still have regular bread. It takes time but the kids catch on and don't even ask for dady's bread or snacks. The hardest part is eatting out and my son wanting to sample off Daddy's plate when he has a gluten meal.

Same here with my hubby. He knew we had to do this for the kids, but he wanted to have his goodies too. He is my junk food eater and the kids loved him for it befor gluten-free. He had his stash in the bedroom and at night when the kids were off to bed he ate then. :rolleyes: In front of me who had to go gluten free also. Thats ok don't like sweets at all. give me fruit and i am happy as a little kid. B) I had so much stomic problems as a kid that candy and other sweets hurt me. Know I know why now but to this day I dont eat sweets and my 2 of my kids are the same. Ice cream they only eat two spoons fulls and thats that. but just understand it is hard on the men giving up foods just give them a spot to put it. my dh still has problems giving the kids stuff that could have gluten in it but it is a not on purpous and he has cried over glutenize the kids. I am the one that does all the food prep and shopping and still teaching him how to read lables. but when he takes the kids out for daddy time he loves to get them candy and thats when it happens. so now he makes them wait to come home so mommy can read the lable. So I become the meany. :blink: Well hope this give you a laugh Got to look at the light side of life and laugh or you just cry all the time. :P

Your baby is 5 mo. old, right? Mine were both teething at that time. Could there be any cross-contamination with items your child is teething on? My kids put their mouths on everything, when they were teething: the handle of a grocery cart, the back of their high chair, daddy's shoe, you name it! Gross, huh?

What about Grandma and Dad... could they be accidentally cross-contaminating? Sneaking gluten treats in, because they don't understand what celiac is all about? We had those issues at our house, so everyone in my family got a copy of Dana Korn's Kids With Celiac Disease for Christmas this past year.

Most importantly, when you're the mom in charge of a kid with celiac, it's sometimes very exhausting. Heck, just nursing a healthy non-celiac kid is exhausting, right?! But don't give up. It get's easier. It really does...

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By Fayeb23 · Posted

      I’ve recently had bloods test due to fatigue. Iron was found to be low Serum ferritin level 4 ug/L so doctor sent for Coeliac test. Results have come back TTG ABS NUMERICAL > 250.0 U/mL is this a high reading? Am not waiting a Gastroenterology referral but this could take 10 weeks! This is all total new to me, didn’t think for a second I would have coeliac disease. Been advised not to change diet until seen by specialist
