My Kid's Got A Great Attitude Despite...

My amazing daughter wanted to take part in the American Heart Association jump rope for heart this year in memory of her grandpa who died last summer of heart disease. I was told the top 3 kids from each school who raised the most $ would get Blazer tickets to jump rope with all the other top kids in the area during half time. Madeleine raised 455$ (she's 6!!), she came home from school yesterday and was so excited because she was one of the top 3. She was, however, mildly disappointed because her PE teacher (who was in charge of this whole thing) treated her whole class to an ice cream bar party yesterday in honor of Maddie--who was unable to take part because the bars she bought weren't gluten-free. Her regular teacher is buying bars especially for her today, which I really appreciate (she's WONDERFUL) I was just frustrated with the PE teacher--who will be getting an email from me. Overall, I'm just amazed what a great kid I have! Oh look, I'm making myself cry....

Wow, what an amazing little girl! You certainly have a reason to be proud of her.

How disappointing that they had ice cream in honor of her, and she couldn't have it herself! That is very insensitive of her PE teacher. Good thing her regular teacher is there to help her out.

Awwww, bless her heart!

Why can't schools stick with fruit for treats?! It would be a lot easier if they would!

Congrats to Maddie! And how ironic that a jump roping event to combat heart disease is rewarded with junk food.

OK, what a doof! (the PE teacher) "Way to go! Let's celebrate! You watch the rest of us pig out on ice cream for all your hard work!!" :angry:

Your daughter should be commended and you as well! That's so neat that she wanted to be the winner for that adn you for raising her! It's a pitty the teacher didn't come up with a better celebration. They could have celebrated with her being able to pick out her favorite game to play in PE or something.

Tell Maddie we said "Great work!!"

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
