OMG!

All I could think of while you were describing the nose tube thing is, why don't they use laughing gas like the children's dentist does? Its very safe, cheap, relaxes them. Especially at 5 am. Just let him keep sleeping. If there is a next time for any of us.

I do know several adults and kids where they can have a light case of pneumonia, maybe not realize it, & it suddenly gets worse.

Glad he is better!

I have seen some real cases of Von M's. Pneumonia or TB are not things they usually have or can fake. Though I saw one where the kid had a severe allergic asthma to mold & cats(?). The mom had cats sleep on his bed & exposed him to mold.

OMG!! :huh:

The torture your son, husband and you have gone through! On top of the lose your mind worry, someone dared to say crap about your parenting!!!?

Sending you warm wishes for speedy healing! :) Big cyber ((HUGS))

I do know in some highly contagious cases they will run multiple tests to prove the dianoses and identify the exact baterium.

(When I had meningitus, they drew blood from all of my limbs to have a clean, seperate sample.)

Wow I'm just coming to this thread today and I couldn't stop reading your story. I was on the edge of my seat. I am so sorry you and your family went through all of that!

Whoever called Child Services on you is just a despicable human being. That is just sick to do that to a sick child and his suffering parents.

I hope everything gets better from here on out.

I homeschool my kids and I hadn't even thought of all the issues you deal with having a celiac kid in school. My son did have a kid mess with his food after a baseball game but we were standing right there and I told the kid off.

We use playdough at home but we wash like crazy afterwards. I need to look for gluten free playdough or find out how to make it so we don't have to be so careful with it.

I was a teacher before I was diagnosed and I can see after reading this thread how so many things could be an issue.

I know it seems like you have been victimised but the reality is that Child Services exists to keep kids safe. In your case it is obviously a mistake but PLEASE keep in mind that these people keep abused children from being further treated so. Like gluten intolerance, child abuse is an imperfect science.

Wow... I've just come upon this thread too and all I want to do is give you and your boy and your husband a huge hug. What an amazingly messed up ordeal you've been through... and you must be absolutely terrified. I sure would be. Your composure and willingness/need to follow up w/ his school, cafeteria, art room are so admirable to me, especially given all the other stuff you're worried about/seeking answers for.

I don't have any other advice aside from what others have said. I just wanted you to know that I'm pulling for you and your son and have the utmost admiration for you and your boy is lucky to have such a persistent and interested mom.

(((((huge hugs))))

He turned 6 in October

What an ordeal! I know this will sound crazy but has he been tested for pertussis? It is going around this year, even among vaccinated folks. Both my kids got it last year very badly despite having been vaccinated.

You are right and I am glad they are there to help people. I am not so mad at Children Services because by law if a report is made by someone against a person they are legally required to look into it. I have been more mad at the person who made the bogus report to begin with, but regardless of any of the CS stuff, I am far more mad at what my son has been through with all of it the last month. But things have calmed down. We had a nice Thanksgiving, he's better and he goes back to school on Monday. I appreciate everyone's thoughts. We are coming up on the 2 year "anniversarry" of his diganosis in Jan and it is just amazing to me how much we still have to learn about it.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
