What have you bought?

My 2yo is going to get one , Ive found a sports band for small kids to wear. Its the smallest I can find.

We feel this will keep strangers from randomly handing her candy MAYBE and make people more aware in the family.

I recently bought a bracelet for my 16-month-old son when we found out he has a peanut allergy. I saw these when I ordered my own bracelet and I thought it was really smart:

The velcro is pretty sticky... it hasn't been too hard keeping it on his wrist! And I think it DOES help people recognize that he has a serious medical condition. The one piece of advice I would give you is to skip the permanent marker (to write on the insert). If you want one, just make a tiny strip yourself with the relevant information (name, birthday, your phone number, diagnosis, etc...) and get it laminated at Kinko's. The permanent marker wears off REALLY quickly.

We went to MedicAlert Open Original Shared Link

I really feel a lot better with her having it on all the time. It never comes off & the reps there are very, very helpful. I highly recommend them!

I'm looking at this one:

Open Original Shared Link

Its small enough for her wrist and looks friendly for a 2 yo.

Any more suggestions or feedback? :)

My 8 and 4 year old girls and I each wear a bracelet from Fiddledeeids. We are really happy with them. I now make my own bands to hook onto the original i.d. tag so we have all different ones for holidays, etc. Makes me feel better. I do have to tell you, though - the youngest and I have each had our own medical emergencies and the bracelets were not even looked at (I had to point them out). They are looked at by friends and teachers, etc...just not medical team. I asked the ambulance crew about it and they just brushed it off saying that they don't usually check out jewelry (can you believe it??) We are a small rural area, maybe that is why...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
