I think I remember reading that some people on here homeschool their kids. I'm looking for some GOOD online resources to look into doing this. I would love some recommendations; where do I start researching homeschooling?

When I homeschooled, most of the resources I used were specifically Catholic .... if you're not Catholic, they would be no help to you at all. :) Let me know if you want them.

Hi I HS my 3 children, ages 7,4, and almost 3yr olds. I just started last year. At first it is a good idea to look at your state's HSing laws. Open Original Shared Link you can look your state up there and here are a few other links that might be helpful. I now have to take soy out of her diet to see if her symptoms go away again, and I cannot imagine how hard it is for those families with kids in school. She seems to be so sensitive too, any little crumb ect, brings on a ton of symptoms.

What state do you live in? I hs my 3 kids, and our state has an online homeschool program that's FREE. It's really, really comprehensive, and they send you everything from microscopes to phonics tiles in addition to all the other stuff. It's technically a public school, which is why it's free...but you can also purchase it if your state doesn't offer the program. It's called K12 and you can check it out at www.k12.com and see what you think.

There are tons of other programs out there, I've used several others as well. If you're totally starting new, you might want to start with a program like K12 or Alpha Omega (it's Christian, though...so that's up to you) that lays out your plans and has everything ready to go. As you go along, you'll find some other great resources and you may want to pick and choose a program that fits your child individually. Here are some other resources we've used:

Singapore math

EPGY math (Stanford university's online program)

Alpha Omega

Spelling Power (great book!)

Teach Your Child to Read in 100 easy lessons (great for beginning readers! So easy.)

Saxon Homeschool math

What ages are your kids? I can probably give you some other ideas based on age if you'd like.

Check out the boards at mothering.com. There is an entire homeschooling section with tons of info. Almost too much so that you don't know where to start. Our state also offers free cyber school. Including the computer, internet, books, etc.

Thank you all for your help! This is some great info to look through! This is my daughter's first year of preschool and I'm already getting really frustrated with how gluteny school is. :(

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
