I'm sure it will be fine. If the x-ray looks like one of those cool cartoon things with the perfect image of a ring in her tummy, be sure to get a copy to taunt her with when she's a teenager. :P

Unless it has/had some jagged edges...lots of water will help flush it :rolleyes: . Might be a loss for big sis. But maybe Santa can replace the ring. B)

It is utterly amazing what kids, and even adults, will swallow. My oldest son when he was almost 4 swallowed one of those glass stones that are often found in fish bowls. He ran into the bedroom panicking and clutching his neck. Wow, what a scare! He did end up coughing and swallowed it. I had to take him to the ED to make sure it would pass through. You could see it nicely in his stomach. About three days later I took him to work for another one and it was gone! There was no way I was going digging!

Aside from this incident, when he was around 2 we caught him putting small rocks up his nose. Days later he kept pointing to his nose and saying "ock." We thought he was remembering stuffing them up there. Well all the sudden he blew his nose on me and out comes a rock.

By far to me the funniest thing that happened was when he ended up with a big bruise on his forhead from hitting it on the toilet. He was around 4 or 5 and he was going to the bathroom. He was facing it when he bent down to pull up his pants and hit his head on the rim. He came out sobbing with a big goose egg. (I laughed about it afterwards to myself)

The stories are endless with this child. Funny, how this apple didn't fall to far from the tree. He gets definately gets his "gracefulness" from his mother.

Hope all passes well! :P

Wow, kids and the ingestion of things. . . ....

When my daughter was about two, we went to a family restaurant and indulged in their pasta (before the celiac was known). DD filled up on fettucine alfredo; she was quite the happy toddler with this.

On the way home she began fussing in her carseat. I turned around and she was whining and babbling, looking quite unhappy. As I was trying to comfort her, I noticed something tiny sticking out of her nose -- like some bright-coloured, dried snot. I grabbed a kleenex from my purse and picked at it. Then I grabbed it and pulled. And pulled. And pulled. A fettucine noodle, about nine inches long, emerged from her nostril.

Then she was good.

:blink:

      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.
