Even before I knew about Celiac I kept my first daughter wheat free until after she turned a year. I did it because my family has alot of food allergies so I delayed introduction of eggs, wheat, nuts, etc.. With my second I had Celiac, I kept her gluten free until she was 12-14 months old and then started introducing. It is really just a personal choice...

I have that same list, but am leary of shakes bc of cc, but I do enjoy the orange cream slushes. They are an ice slush with plain soft serve in them, like a creamsicle yum!

Thank you, this is actually exactly what I needed to hear. So I am not crazy thinking this could be Celiacs. It hit me about 3-4 months ago that she probably had it. Everyone dismissed me, and said it was just me because I was newly diagnosed. I have gone round and round with our pedi because she doesn't have diarrhea. I have an appt with a new pedi on tuesday...

I am half Irish and 1/4 scottish, 1/4 english.. The celiacs is from my moms side, she is 100% Irish.. this is a really interesting topic!

I know for me constipation was a symptom of Celiac, is this true for children too? My 4yr old has had alot of constipation over the last year and recently had an impaction. I am going to a new pediatrician next week and I plan on asking them to do the celiac screening. She doesn't have any really big problems (anemic, some behavior issues and very small for...

Hugs to you! This is my fear for my kids.. I have no advice, Hang in there!

What state are you in? Can you get an exemption so your 14yr old doesn't have to get the MMR? I am in texas and it is a pretty simple process here. You should be able to get her titers checked though.. hope you figure it out!

Well the weight gain is good! Maybe double check and triple check that she is not getting cross contamination. Are you gluten-free too? Or your house? I found myself feeling better symptom wise and weight gain wise but still getting glutened.. finally figured out it was cross contamination including kissing my husband! I agree maybe dairy could be and issue...

Gosh, sorry to hear about your DD's reactions. Atleast you the have a diagnosis and know. I am at the point I am going to demand it. The weird thing is they know what I went through last year myself being diagnosed. Crazy. I am going to have to look more into the DTap now! Thanks for the info.. This is so frustrating, trying to find a dr that will look...

I found out I had Celiac when my DD was 11 months old!

Yes I know there is a good chance she has Celiac I did breast feed her until a few weeks ago. I have been gluten free since I was diagnosed 10 months ago, but by that time she was eatting table food being a year old. I too have dairy issues and really thought her's was gluten issues until I removed dairy from her diet and she actually started gaining weight...

Thanks! But that web address didn't work for me..

My 21 month old is due/ and behind on some of her vaccinations. I have purposely delayed/selectively vaccinated. My concern and question is really about the measles. I am hoping to find it separate because I do want to give her the rubella. The measles vax, I have heard it has connections to the gut. Can anyone give me more info?? I need to know what I am...

Thanks for the reply.. I want to help them out as much as I can but am the older one and not one of they're friend, KWIM?? also they live in Ohio and I in Texas so I only see them a few times a year. I can email and help them out on the phone but know they are going to want to talk to others they're age. Thanks so much for your email I will pass it on!!

You are not a crybaby! I felt the same way! As far as the flours go, don't go out and buy a bunch of flours until you get a cookbook. I bought a bunch of stuff then found a fantastic cookbook that uses almost only corn starch and potatoe starch(which you can find at almost any grocery store). I prefer these recipes to the ones with rice flour. I figure...
