We were told my 2 year old son has celiac's disease about 2 weeks ago now. He is a really picky eater and i want to know if anyone can suggest kid friendly recipes. Also i have a 1 year old and a 2 month old and the doctor said that they should be checked for celiac's to. Do I get them checked when they are this young? :(

Kids can be very picky at 2. I can remember cooking dinner for Angela and her friends. One meal that they all liked was macaroni and cheese, breakfast sausages, black olives, baby carrots and sliced apples. Actually at that age, most any raw veggies and fruit cut into slices or sticks or bite sized pieces worked pretty well. Angela would never touch tomatoes, but most kids would. Chicken nuggets usually worked well too. She also liked quesadillas. You could make these with corn or rice tortillas. Just put some shredded cheese in between two of them and warm it until the cheese melts in a skillet, or put in the microwave. Cut in wedges to serve.

She also liked serving herself. The bottom shelf of the refrigerator was hers. I left cut up vegetables and cheese cubes there so she could get them if she wanted. And she had a snack basket. In there, I put shelf stable snack type foods that she could get herself.

We went through the same thing last month. My 5 yo was diagnosed in Jan. The GI said that we all needed to be checked out. We did do the blood test on my 4 yo and my 2 yo. They both came back negative. I don't know about testing a 2 month old.....that seems awfully young? Is the baby on formula or breastfed?

2 year olds are notorious for being picky. You've been given some good thoughts from the previous poster, but it would help to know what he doesn't like that would qualify him as picky?

My Gluten Free 2 year old son is also very picky and i think it's because he still associates food with pain. He will only eat food that he recognizes that won't hurt him. These are his three favorite dishes.

1. hambuger meat with chopped onions, mushrooms, sliced cheese, Amy's gluten free tomato sauce and Annie's rice pasta

2. Bell and Evan's gluten free chicken nuggets topped with Amy's gluten free tomato sauce and sliced cheese

3. homemade chicken soup with rice (canned progresso's chicken and wild rice or healthy choice's chicken and rice soup)

Nacks

1. gluten free pretzals

2. Dole's friut cups

4. Yogurts

3. Nestle's chocolate covered raisinets

4. snikiddy's baked corn puffs (He loves this)

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
