    I was at Target this past weekend and they did not have their brand of candy corn this year. I'm not sure if it was just not out yet, but all of the Halloween section was set and no candy corn but Brachs. Im in upstate NY. My 5 yr old was bummed!! I'll look for the Walmart brand..HTH

    My boys have them. I like the idea of them wearing them in school. It helps remind the teachers that they cant have gluten. Plus is did help with some family members that thought celiac wasnt harmful. Some how if they saw the braclet they took it as more serious. I'm not sure how long they will wear them.. but for now they will.

    Please dont go only by the bloodwork for a 2 year old. My son was 3 when diagnosed and his bloodwork was totally normal, allthough he already had the internal damage. So even if they come back normal, and you think she may still have it go with your gut feeling. Try the diet for a few months and see if there is a change. Just my 2 cents.

    I'd get the gene test done along with the reg. blood tests for Celiac. But keep in mind that even if they dont have the gene they can still be gluten intolerant ( like my son). After time they will accept the Gluten-free foods better. My son has been Gluten-free for almost a year now and he is much more willing to try all Gluten-free products. Hey if you...

    Another alternative to chicken nuggets is this simple recipie. 1lb of ground chicken 1 egg mix well then crumble up regular lays potato chips, then just form a nugget shape and coat with the crumbled chips. Bake on a cookie sheet at 400 for about 20 min, or untill golden brown. They do end up tasting just like McDonalds!! easy and quick. They...

    Cocoa Puffs just added Gluten back in Cocoa Pebbles are still ok (pretty sure) There are also Trix that are safe.

    My boys wear them. They say" Celiac, Gluten Free- NO Wheat, Oat, Barley, Rye" The wording was because of space issues. I mostly have them for school, to remind the teachers.. and other family members took the Celiac more serious once they saw the braclets. I got mine from Stickyjewlery.com There were a bunch of cloth bands to choose from. The claspy...

    Yes Hunter got his first set of tubes at 11 mths. THey just fell out 4 mths ago. ( He hasnt grown much) And they just put his second set in about a month ago. He had 4 double ear infections in 3 mths. So maybe it does go together.

    I use 1 lb of ground chicken , mix in 1 egg, then coat them in lays regular potato chips crushed up. Bake them in the oven for about 20 min or until brown. They come out tasting just like McDonalds. It a familly fav here!!

    If you are breastfeeding him it could be anything you are eating. Not neccasarily gluten. Try to watch what you are eating and see if it corrosponds with him throwing up. What you eat and drink takes about 3-4 hrs to get to your milk , so gage it by that. Hope you get your answers. just my 2 cents but all 3 of my kiddos started cherrios at about a yr old...

    I thought last we all checked with the Floam reps. they could not confirm if it is Gluten Free. If you search "floam" you'll see the responses. My guys like Moon sand (confirmed Gluten free) and then I bought some Gluten Free playdoh from Discount School Supply website. My boys love it. Hope this helps. As for the companies that state it is manufactured...

    My son had the biopsy first just before his 3rd B-day. It turned out positive, showing a lot of blunting, but all the bloodwork following was normal. ...That is why I don't trust bloodwork at all. Hope this helps.

    Just thought I'd pass along that the new boxes of Trix that are showing up are gluten-free again. Here's hoping the cocoa puffs change back also!!

    I had letters for Hunter's teachers when he started school in Sept. now that my 5 yr is also on the diet, I cant seem to find the letters any where. I need the letter to the teacher, the nurse letter and the safe school supplies list. Can anyone help me find them? I must be having a mental block, I have searched everywhere on the web .. Thanx so much in...

    Just wanted to add my son had the biopsy right before his 3rd B-day. It wasnt that bad, he was just a little out of it after teh anestisia wore off. My niece (5) also had the biopsy and while in there they found another disease. ( eosonaphilic esophgitis sp?) So it can help. Go with your heart. If you feel she needs it or you need it to feel more secure I...

    My sister works there, and she checked it says right on the fry box that they contain wheat! So its not just the oil.

    Actually Gerber wagon wheels all kinds are gluten-free!! Just thought I'd share this bit of info I recently learned.

    WOW, weird to seet this post. My niece was dx with EE. this past week. She had the scope done do to 4 diff pos Celiac tests. Right after the scope the DR asked my sister if My niece ever complained of her throat hurting or of trouble swallowing. Aparantley during the scope her whole esophogus was white. It didnt show any blunting or signs of Celiac. She was...

    Why are they eating on the floor? Is this a regulation preschool? I'm pretty sure that is a health code violation. For Hunter I decorated a cookie sheet lamanated it w/ clear contact paper and he eats his lunch and snack on that. It helps to be a barrier for other's crumbs. So far its been ok. He also goes twice a week. I would definatly sit on the class...

    I dont think they are reliable at all! My son (3) was biopsied first w/ positive results then had a blood test and it showed no Celiac! So now I question my other sons blood work. He is showing some syptoms now but his blood work came back normal... I say its not even worth it now! I have no faith in the labs at this point. GL to you though. I can tell you...

    My other 2 kiddos blood work came in normal, but further investigation my DR ( and I) realized not all the labs were run ( like the IGG!). So since they have to get re stuck I wanted to add the genetic test to see if they had the gene or not. Is this usually included in the panel, or is it an extra? If so what is the test's name? Thanx for your help!!
