Feeding A Baby

I'm going to start babysitting my cousin who just turned one. It has been about 15 years since I fed little kids and I hardly remember what to feed them. I know that babies don't eat much so I won't make him anything different than I make for myself. Since we'll be eating together and babies are messy it's just safer for me for him to eat gluten free lunches with me anyway. So, what do I feed a baby? Other than telling me he'll "eat anything" and not to feed him salt his parents aren't providing much guidance on this for me. I know he's too young for my usual salads and fresh veggies or to share a smoothie with me for breakfast. At least breakfast is easy, I can eat before he gets here and throw cheerios at him. (Figuratively of course.)

Thanks, I don't know why I didn't think of just steaming the veggies. I can't say I've been terribly sharp lately. I refuse to feed him junk. My husband suggested things like canned pastas. Other than the fact that it would lead to needing a bath, I just don't want to feed him that kind of crap. (His mom did mention one of his favorite foods is boxed mac & cheese. :blink: And his dad talks about him eating healthy stuff!) Guess it's time to make friends with google and re-learn how to feed a kid. My biggest concern is simply cc at the table. His eggs this morning became quickly airborne so I suspect it may only take a moment for his food to end up on my plate.

I was lucky enough today to be off the hook already for lunch. I came to my "real" job to teach and left my husband to feed him. As an added bonus I also missed his post-lunch... diaper. B)

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Hi Theresa,  A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc.  18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony.  It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared.  Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer.  It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something.  Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration.  Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

      Blood results

      By Russ H · Posted

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.
