I took the kids trick or treating tonight. I stole a snickers, and my 4 year old looks at me and says "mommy, is that gluten free?!?" LOL.

My other son throws up every single time he has twizzlers. One house tried to give him a twizzlers and he said " my mommy says they make me sick. Do you have anything else?". LOL.

My kids were so excited to sort through their candy. We went through and took out everyting that we knew they couldn't have. I had told them I would give them .25 cents for every piece they couldn't eat. Let's just say I'm out almost $15.00. :o Ugg, I'm regretting that one...they were excited though. :P

My 5 year old son is always asking me if stuff I'm eating is "fluten gree." It's so cute that he cares, even if he can't pronounce it right.

I made sure that the candies we gave out were gluten free and nut free.

Too bad they don't make sugar free candy for Halloween, I'd give that out.

One house I went to gave out temporary tattoos instead of candy. I thought that was a cute idea.

When we told the boys (my boys are Celiac, so far girls are not) that it looks like Mommy is Celiac as well, the first question: "does this mean WE get the big toaster now??"

So cute.

My 9 year-old daughter got a full sized Kit Kat bar. So she waited on the porch for the next "little kid" to come beg and gave it to a little 4 year old boy. I told the mom she had an "allergy" thing and couldn't eat it. The little boy has a nut allergy and could eat the kit kat so it worked out well that she could pass it on to someone else who misses out on a lot of treats too.

PS My kids were with friends that have allergies and siblings that turned into a trading match. Some kids choose to take advantage of the kids that have to trade. I.E. "I'll give you one smartie for your stack of Twix" So I was really proud of my kids asking which candy the nut, egg, and casein free kid liked and could eat and just gave him half if not all of those candy types from thier stuff.

Big pat on the back to you for that as well! Kids do not generally come by that kind of compassion without being taught to be empathetic. They sound like wonderful adults in the making! Kudos!

That's cute. My 5-year old son is so protective of his 3-year old sister. They were going through their candy and DD kept trying to stuff things in her mouth. He would grab her hand and say "wait", then she'd look at him all concerned and ask "does dis have glootnin in it?". They both understand the importance of it so there was no upset over having to forfeit a bunch of candy. B)

      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.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      I seem to recall that my digestive issues actually started when I was taking NSAIDs c. February 2013 for some unrelated condition.  My stomach got so sore during that time I went to see my GP and she thought it might be an ulcer or gastritis so prescribed me Omeprazole.  That appeared to trigger diarrhea which, once I came off the Omeprazole, did not stop.  I went back to the doctors after a few weeks, and that finally led to my coeliac diagnosis, after months of unexplained neurological symptoms, low ferritin and anxiety,which did not seem to have a cause but of course we later realised was all down to coeliac disease. I occasionally take a very small aspirin for a sick migraine which sometimes only responds to aspirin, but it usually leaves me with sore stomach a few days later. I've been told co-codamol is another medication I could take with a sensitive stomach. I was once prescribed it, to use for just a few days. It is not an NSAID, but it contains codeine, which I understand can be addictive so should be used with care.  It can also cause constipation.
