So should I just go for it and try the test again tomorrow in the morning or wait until after school. Please give me your advice. The buzzy was a cute idea, but I'm not going to get one by tomorrow. How about a bag of ice. I could bring some in a cooler and we could ice it. I used ice when we did IVF shots and the frozen bag of peas was a life saver. So maybe that is a good idea. Not sure how it works with the veins.Do you think they could find her vein better in the morning since it is over 100 her in the afternoon. They told us to bring her back at 10:00 for 3 people to be there. A good idea. Just don't know. Thanks so much.

The ice would definately numb the area, but it also can make it hard to find a vein. I notice a lot that the nurses will wrap peoples arms in warm blankets to warm them up to help them find a vein better. Personally I would go after school then she wouldn't have to go to school after all upset. However going in the morning could have its benefit also so she isn't thinking about it all day at school. Good luck!

Good!

Thibk of the screaming this way -

I used to work at a children's hospital. Healthy kids yell, or cry or at least say "ouch!" Its very sad to see the kids that don't even blink when they are getting more blood drawn (second time today...100th time in 2 years).

I find a lot of the time even for x-ray exams that some children do better when the parent isn't there. It takes out that element and usually they will do better. Glad you were sucessful.

This is good to know....I think I will have Grandpa take my son when he gets his blood drawn. He seems to act "braver" when Papa is around and mommy isn't.... :huh:

Glad you were finally sucessful! Keep us posted on the results!

Funny thing is about that. When my oldest son was little he had chronic constipation and was on everything under the sun for it. Well he was potty trained by 2 1/2 years old but only half the way. We were scared to put any pressure on him to train the rest of the way because we didn't want the constipation issue to rear it's ugly head. So by the time he was 3 he was still using a pull up for bms. Interesting though he did have control over it because he would wear underwear all day even at day care and would have his "routine" in the evening. Well, my parents were down for a visit and grandpa casually said to him that if he could pee in the toilet then he could do the other. He never put another pull up on again to use the bathroom...

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.
