    I wonder if they use this recipe:

    As a former middle school teacher, I would advise not letting a child start early for ANY reason. I have seen far to many kids who did quite well through grades 1-5 fall apart because of lack of developmental maturity (yes talking about hormones/puberty here) in 7th and 8th grade.

    1. How often does your child get glutened? I can only think of 1 definate glutening and 1 other possible glutening in the past year. 2. How long do symptoms usually last? Tummy symptoms last until she gets rid of it via poop or vomit, behaviour sypmptom lasted about 24 hours 3. Can you always identify where the gluten came from? Nope. the one time...

    Here is what we do I let them know that my daughter has a sever allergy (Just because I'm sick and tired of explaining what Celiac Disease is and they do what you want when you say allergy) Anyhow I ask them to use a clean scoop and I ask that they her ice cream from an unopened container. (I learned this from a friend who has a peanut allergy, she...

    I have had 2 friends go gluten free for the same reasons each of them did it differently. 1. The cold turkey approach (she did a complete elimination diet down to the bare essentials) it took roughly 2 weeks of fighting. After some amount of time (I'm not sure what it waS) she reintroduced foods in one at a time. She found the main triggers to be: gluten...

    This is a great place to get information I too highly recommend the book Gluten free Living for Dummies! Its a quick read and I felt like I understood what was going on with my daughter and had control of it! MY daughter was only 18 months old when diagnosed so she will never remember a time when she wasn't gluten free (for that I'm thankful" but...

    One of the best pieces of advice I was given was "Don't even thing about nutrition untill you find food your daughter likes, you can ease into the nutrition later" (This was advice from my GI's dietitian. I took it to heart and we had a Pamela's gluten free cake the weekend after my Daughters Biopsy to "Celebrate her not being sick anymore" With...

    If you are into making your own I'd suggest: Open Original Shared Link with a gluten free cake Here is the recipe I used for my Daughters 2nd birthday: Chocolate Cake Recipe: (adapted from Martha Stewart's Chocolate Cake recpie) Baking Time: 45 to 55 minutes Cooling Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes Total Time: 2 hours, 55 minutes 1 1/2 Cups unsweetened...

    My grandfather was diagnosed at 87 years old. He decided to be tested about 6 months after my daughter was diagnosed because he was experiencing some strange stomach things. His Dr. told him that he would run the blood work but let him know that it wouldn't be Celiac disease because he was "too old" to get it. THEN when the blood work came back positive...

    Though we have no other children (as of yet) I have already spoken to my pediatrician about testing all future children. Because our insurance covers the genetic testing in full we are choosing to go that route initially. What we do from there will depend on what we find out. Either way our home is staying gluten free. I also want to add that both...

    My daughter was only 18 months old when she was diagnosed so we never really talked about her having "Celiac" disease. Though we do use the word. We do talk a lot about what gluten will do to her. She knows and will tell you that if she eats gluten her "tummy will hurt" or her "tummy will feel icky" or "gluten will make her tummy sick" In our...

    I struggled with the same thing after my daughter was diagnosed. We have always eaten very healthy and the idea of limiting "WHole Grains" from her diet frankly scared the crap out of me! THough I never really got much help from the nutritionist her pediatrician put it in perspective for me. Here is the advice she gave me: 1. Get the hang of Gluten...

    ' My daughter was 18 months when diagnosed and we have been gluten free for nearly a year now. First of all I'd like to reassure you that in a months time you will not feel so overwhelmed and most of this will become second nature to you. What kinds of things did she love to eat before she was diagnosed. There are alternatives for just about...

    My daughter is 2 now and I would let her play on playscapes. A kid's gotta live ya know, what fun is childhood with out play? besides I believe that it is important for my daughter to be around other kids when they are eating gluten (before she gets to school) this way I can teach her how she needs to deal with issues such as cross contamination, the...

    Me too Baking soda works great (My mom used baking soda baths for me when I had the chicken pox... she says that I LOVED them!)

    It looks like we are all saying the same thing... however I have talked to several moms who have young children just diagnosed with Celiac Disease and the prevailing response I get from them is that they wished they had done something differently to prevent this. When they tell me that, I ask what they think they could have done differently and nearly...

    I always have a hard time reading posts like these. I find them very negative because they (intended or not) suggest that as parents of kids with Celiac Disease we could have "prevented" or "delayed" this from happening. My daughter was exclusively breast fed for 5 months of her life. At 6 months she started foods which included rice cereal, fruits...

    I agree with the other posters you are being too paranoid! I personally believe keeping a child completely away (separate) from gluten is not going to teach them anything. So places like pools, beaches, and playgrounds can and should be used for teaching purposes. Just point out that someone just ate something with gluten in it and remind your child...

    WE do a ton of fruits Veggies with dip (ex. Celery, peanut butter, and raisins) Fruit-A-bu Corn tortilla chips popcorn otter pops Yogurt Smoothies gluten-free Pretzles I rarely shopt a a health food store but my local grocery store has a large selection of gluten free foods... and will get me just about anything I ask for

    I can tell you as a teacher that the moment I found out my daughter had celiac disease I was putting her on a 504 plan! I never found them confrontational at all... in fact one that is well written in helpful because I never had to do research about what was going on with the student, it was all there for me As far as being "labeled" kids with diabetes...

    My daughter ate some gluten cereal today due to a miss communication with from my mom. Anyhow now a few hours later she has a blotchy red face and neck, no feaver it almost looks like a sunburn except for the few flesh tone spots....could this be a reaction to the gluten?? TIA Kibbie

    Wow I guess not matter what district or grade level you teach in there are always "those" parents! Because you mention the parents who didn't know their child's grade level in the office, I thought I'd share my run in with one of "those parents" (for you non-teachers out there... we know not all parents are like this but we run into several that keep...

    Yes I remember working for a district like that! Right now I am in a "country" school district so things are a little different.... some of it is GREAT... and some of it is horrible. Our district is great at protecting and helping the teacher out... but I know someday I will have issues with the same district as a parent of a kid who is going to need some...

    The policy in my school district is to give all parents 24 hours notice before a celebration of any kind.... I am able to do what I do because of that policy Not trying to start a fight here just offering suggestions.

    Wow thats a tough one I do in home daycare and am the watchdog during the day becuase the other kids at my house eat gluten products (I make their parents bring main meals and I provide snacks) 1. My mail reason for providing snacks is because kids like to walk around with snacks in their hands, so only gluten free snacks at my house! (this may...
