They actually want this girl to withdraw from the elementary school because, they say, "she is violating our rights."

They are parents now, but it is very apparent that *their* parents never taught them concern or compassion for others - they are just being selfish.

wow that is just bizzarre! I can't say as it really causes any issues for us to make a peanut free lunch for our kids. Their schools have always been peanut free and I have never thought it was a hassel to do this. Most times they don't even have someone in their class with a peanut alergy but makes it safe for that one child who is deathly allergic somewhere in the school. I can't get over the mentality of some people! Makes me cringe thinking about it :(

Yeah. I try to remind people - it wasn't that 50 years ago no one had peanut allergies. It's that 50 years ago, these children would die.

I said pretty much the same thing to someone today.

"We always ate peanut butter and jam sandwiches...blah...blah..."

"yep and 90% of the time people died from unknown causes ALL the time"

Really!!!!!!! is that bad that the kids put their lunches outside a d have to wash their hands. Shouldn't they wash their hands anyway to keep flu and other things at bay. It's not like the poor child can help what they are allergic to.

      A question - eggs & dairy

      By trents · Posted

      Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose. Lactase is produced in the small intestine. It is not produced in the pancreas. https://cymbiotika.com/blogs/health-hub/understanding-what-organ-produces-most-digestive-enzymes   "Lactase is found in the brush border of the small intestine of humans and other mammals." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactase Studies have shown through micro analysis that the small bowel lining from those with celiac disease may never completely heal, even after years of gluten free living. There is healing at the macro level but not all cellular functions may be restored.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thank you so much for this thorough and informative post. This information does help me to understand my body better. I will commit to a strict gluten free diet. I may not have a diagnosis but I know gluten is causing issues. The worst offender, white bread, causes a reaction within 20-30 minutes. Which I hate because I like sandwiches. Lol. Common sense dictates that it's time to stick to a strict gluten free diet. Thanks for the tips about alternatives. I do cook and bake so it's helpful to know what may work. I appreciate so much all the time and effort you all have put into helping me understand and being supportive. Thank you.

      I went back to consuming dairy after a year of healed villi.  What I didn't know is that along with developing celiac, my pancreas was no longer producing enough enzyme to consume lactose.  My GI said he often sees this with celiac patients.  Some people can go back to dairy with no problems at all and others will develop odd symptoms like ataxia--balance issues, etc.-- for no apparent reason.  It took me a year of suffering to get it all straightened out.  Hope this saves you some time!

      Blood results

      Do you know what the lab's standard range is for the IgA tTG2 result? The Endomysial IgA basically tests for the same antibodies as IgA tTG2 but it uses an older, less sensitive method and the result is positive/negative rather than quantitative. Hence, it is possible to show raised IgA tTG2 antibodies without getting a positive test for Endomysial IgA antibodies.

      She’s eating mostly gluten as far as I know. Think her GP is trying to get her seen fairly quickly
