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:

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
