Another Step Backward

Daycare let my kid eat a donut yesterday. I haven't really explained to my child the reason we are eating different, I have been just trying to replace things in her diet to keep it normal. So yesterday when daycare put bowls on the table with donuts in them my daughter grabbed a bowl as she always had and she starting eating. It was 2 bites but we are back to square one. I am so disappointed. We were 2 weeks in....=(

Should I explain it to my 3.5 year old? Or just keep replacing? How do you have this conversation?

That is so frustrating. My son also had that happen (his were pretzels) I only found out about it because we were keeping a food diary. The interesting thing is that my son's teacher is celiac and her assistant is gluten intolerant! I thought for sure they would have been on the lookout!

The daycare provider is a celiac and gave your kiddo pretzels, oh my gosh! :o

Seriously? They both don't eat gluten/wheat and they gave him pretzels? WOW. Weird, I wonder what went through their head.

I am so disappointed to start over, on the upside I found a fantastic gluten-free bakery yesterday and went a little overboard, ok a lot overboard!!!!

Absolutely explain to your child. If she had known, she still might have eaten it, but OTOH, at that age she might have stuck her chin out and said "My mommy says I'll get sick if I eat that."

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either! In their defense, it is a Montessori School and the parents bring snack. The teachers set it out and the kids serve themselves. Colton (my son) is 4 and brand new to the diet. My guess is that they caught him eating it and wrote it in his diary. The thing that got me is that they didn't tell me, it was the last day of school and I had to read it in his diary.

I would explain it to her now. She isn't going to be able to be vigilant however, so you do need to speak firmly to her teachers. They need to treat it like they would a kid with a deadly peanut allergy, and they need to be reminding her when they put out a snack that she can't eat that snack, but here is the snack Mommy sent for her. But, definitely start telling her that she always needs to ask before she eats anything if it is safe. This is the best time for her to develop the habit, before she starts to resent being "different".

I know this seems ridiculous but what wording do you use? I have been saying it will hurt her tummy but I feel like I have to have a better way of saying it.

      This is my current exhausting battle with the medical field. As Ive mentioned in past I was diagnosed in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy and was told i was celiac and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.NOPE not at all in fact im worse thanks to being disregarded and my new word that was given that fits perfectly medically gaslight for over 30 years.I was not informed by anyone about the condition other than its a food allergy. Long story short if it wasn't for this website.I would be so much worse. I have been glutenfree since 1994 and was diagnosed with many other foods in 2007. I have stayed away from those items, except dairy sometimes I'll cheat when I know I'll be home a few days.My work history is horrible thanks to my digestive issues. I had my past primary for 25 years and everything im going through, he danced around celiac disease. My last day of employment was March 08, 2023 I was a bus driver and took pride in that.I get sick easily and when covid hit me and I stopped taking tramadel to push to give my bloated body a break, I haven't " bounced " back.Though not that well before but worse now.I applied for disability because yet again I was fired solely on health, which by the way seems to be legal because no lawyer wants to help.I was denied and my primary stated let me fluff it up a bit.FLUFF IT UP A BIT?He has been my doctor for 25 years! All that Im going through was basically ignored and not put together. I switched primary doctor and seeing new gi and its EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING because they are staying all my test came back clean, good, its normal. Except THANKYOU LORD JESUS HLA DQ2 is positive that Itty bitty tiny little test of positive FINALLY VALIDATION RIGHT.No, Im still struggling and fighting its not fair

      Since medical insurance is not affected directly by celiac disease on an ongoing basis (i.e. medication, medical devices, daily monitoring, home care nursing, etc), I rather doubt anyone would be denied a policy for having it as a pre-existing condition. I’ve certainly never been and I have two pre-existing conditions that are managed with diet alone and both are long-well-known by my doctors and via medical testing and procedures. Insurance is all about risk management, not health.

      I got beaten so bad playing dominoes that made me realize that I was probably eating something with gluten, the culprit (Simms premium cracked pepper STEAKSTRIP). Now I can look back and see all other symptoms: irregular stools, bad sleep, desire to eat uncontrollably, bad mood, etc. Gluten really does a job on my short-term memory.

      I can confirm this. I no longer have any issues with Iodine since being strictly gluten and dairy free.
