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)

      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?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
