Anyone In Spain?

Hi! I'm new to this forum.

I am an american in Spain, my 7 year old son was just diagnosed with Celiac Disease last week. There is no known family history of the disease, so this came as a total shock to us! His main symptoms were poor appetite and slow growth, and we (and the doctors) always thought it was because my husband isn't very tall, his entire family is petite...! But the ped decided to send him for a blood test, and that's where it showed up. Mid December he had a biopsy, and that confirmed the Disease.

So, big changes ahead of us... My son is adjusting to not being able to eat many of the things he has always liked! I am learning how to cook new things...

The hardest part for now is finding breakfast foods for him... he doesn't like any gluten-free bread or cereal we have tried so far... Although he does like rice cakes, so far that's what he's eating along with yogurts...

Have you tried to make a bread yourself? If not, I'd recommend Panasonic Bread Maker as you can find in the link below:

      Help with genetic testing

      By Kirita · Posted

      I received the results that my child has the genes for celiac disease (she is still undergoing testing and it has been complicated). Can someone explain if this is homozygous HLA DQ 2.5 or not? The interpretation just says permissive for celiac disease. Thank you! DQ Alpha 1  05:01, 5 DQ Beta 1 02:01, 02:01 DQ serologic equivalent 2,2

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I am taking thiamine hydrochloride. It's been over a week, and the burning seems to be gone. I am also taking a lower dose B complex with iron. Thank you so much for your help!

      No. It's over the counter. Readily available on Amazon. Good bio availability but shelf-life is not as good as thiamine mononitrate which is the most common form found in over the counter vitamin products.

      Does one need to get a prescription for Thiamine Hydrochloride?

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.
