Dd Has Amazing Teacher This Year!

I met with dd#2's teacher last night at our "meet the teacher" night, and I gave her my papers with my dd's restrictions and how she needed to be taken care of at school to keep her healthy. I even included a letter that I wanted to share with all the parents. Below is an email she sent to me today!! She seems like she will be a GREAT teacher this year for my dd! I am so relieved and excited about this. She has copied the letter I gave her and has already placed a copy of it in all the binders that she is sending home on Monday with our kids. So, I just wanted to share my excitement with everyone, and I needed some help in what to tell her about some of the questions she asked. I plan on sending her a copy of the unsafe ingredient list from celiac.com, but I didn't know about much else. Any help would be great.

Thanks!!

I have spent some time reviewing the website you included and after

looking at some of my first day activities, I wanted to ensure there

would

be no problems.

If I read correctly, I believe Tempera paint is OK. Is that correct?

If

not, is there any paint that is OK for ** to use?

I also planned on doing an activity with alphabit cereal - I know that

she

cannot use that cereal. Is there any other food that you are aware of,

that contains letters, that I could purchase for her to use?

I read on the website that some soap is not appropriate. Do you know

if

the soap we use in the bathrooms is OK?

We will be conducting some experiments in science with color. Could you

please tell me what brand/type of food coloring is appropriate for

**?

I know we are going to have a great year. I promise to do my very best

to

screen anything before it is given to **, after all that is what I

would want someone to do for my child.

I will purchase some treats to keep in the classroom for **, and I

ALWAYS have chocolate, but we really do not have a snack time, unless

it

is a birthday celebration.

This is the first time I have ever been exposed to this allergy, so I

will

probably have TONS of questions. I would rather be safe than sorry.

For products that contain gluten, will that be listed on the label? Is

there some way I can check an item without having to bother you

everytime?

Yep, that is the list I gave her. I just modified it. But it has the same info on it. I gave her about 4 different papers of info, plus the letter to the parents.

that is great!

We are very new to this this yr and we still haven't had my DD's endoscopy(Wed) there for nothing is set in stone yet. When we went to meet my DD;s teacher last Thursday she was amazing! She said she wasn't familar with Celiac and my response was I wasn't either until a few weeks ago! She just said then we will learn together! I loved it! She also started suggesting all the things I had planned before I could get them out of my mouht, like specail snacks just for her and she even said she would keep a specail treat just incase some poarent suprised the class with cup cakes or something she couldn''t have. Then she asked if I minded being class mom so I could control stuff like the food in and out of the class room. So I said of course that would be great! Since I stay at home with my kids it is perfect! I feel so luck that her teacher is so willing to learn and help her adjust to this new life!

      While I don’t have a specific personal recommendation, there are several ways to find a skilled GI doctor in Tucson who specializes in celiac disease. Check the Celiac Disease Foundation’s Healthcare Practitioner Directory for listed providers in Arizona: https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/find-a-healthcare-practitioner/ Also, local healthcare systems like Banner-University Medicine or El Rio Health may have gastroenterologists with celiac expertise—consider asking for referrals to doctors familiar with gluten-related disorders. When contacting potential doctors, ask about their experience with celiac diagnosis, follow-up protocols, and whether they work with dietitians.

      Several years ago I attended a celiac group meeting in Tucson and I was referred to a doctor who was serving as the Celiac Group's resource for medical info.  He was very helpful to my situation (Dr Lindsey Pearson) but I understand that he's no longer in Tucson.  Can you tell me what doctor is working with your group now as I'm once again looking for a doctor.  Dr Pearson was a gi doc, fyi.

      @DebJ14, Yes, Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the essential vitamins and minerals, not just thiamine.  All the B vitamins work together and many minerals are needed as well.  If one is missing, the rest can't work well without it.  Thiamine is used at the beginning of the energy production cycle and interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the process.   Mitochondrial health depends upon thiamine.  Without thiamine, mitochondria can't produce energy, ATP, needed for cells to function.  They sicken and die.  Mitochondrial dysfunction is said to be the basis of illness.    Interesting Reading: Practical supplements for prevention and management of migraine attacks: a narrative review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11557489/ The importance of thiamine (vitamin B1) in humans https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10568373/

      I was tested for nutrient deficiencies and Thiamine was not my problem.    The doctor uses the Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies.  I was deficient in Carnitine, Magnesium, multiple antioxidants, D, Selenium, B12, B6 and a long list, just not Thiamine.

      I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.
