ARCHIVED New To Celiac, Scared About Son's Health
Kibbie replied to Blake's Mom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My daughter has been gluten free for nearly 4 months now and there are days where her bm's are lighter in color and much softer. I used to think its because she was 'glutened" but this happens at least 2-3 times a month. I have watched for a pattern and can tall you that when it happens there have been 0 chances of her being glutened. Her GI told me that... -
ARCHIVED I Have To Vent!
Kibbie replied to ptkds's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Wow! I was a teacher before (and I live in Texas too) I had my daughter and I can tell you she just wasn't thinking. I would contact her and ask her if she would reconsider her choices of snacks. Point out that if you daughter feels left out that she will most likely not do her best on the TAKS test! Let see some snacks that I can think of that everyone... -

My daughter was 18 months old when she was diagnosed with Celiac disease and our entire family went gluten free (mostly My husband and I don't worry about being gluten free when we go out but its only 1 time a month so we are really mostly gluten free) I was overwhelmed with information and scared out of my mind that my daughter wast not going to be able... -

ARCHIVED Introducing Solids To Baby
Kibbie replied to Katepfeiffer's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I am a BIG huge fan and supporter of nursing! (I nursed my daughter for over a year when she cold turkey self-weaned!) Anyhow I can tell you at some point you will need to start to introduce solids because your baby will need more than you have to offer. That being said the age varies with each child! I'm not a Dr. or a nutritionist but I think putting... -
ARCHIVED 7yr.old Daughter Home From School
Kibbie replied to hapy4dolphins's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
As a former teacher (now a SAHM) I'd recommend looking into a 504 plan for you daughter. This way you can tell the school how they should properly deal with things in guidelines that you feel are appropriate You can include things like giving the school nurse permission to administer "the pinks stuff" etc. Also you may want to talk with your... -

Kibbie replied to suebny's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs

ARCHIVED I Glutened Her !
Kibbie replied to vampella's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I feel your pain and like others have said... I bet EVERYONE here has a similar story. You can also take this "accident" and turn it into a learning lesson for your child (If she's old enough to under stand" talk to her about how you and she always need to double check what is in the foods so she wont get sick! Sometimes our mistakes can be the... -
ARCHIVED In Tears And Confused
Kibbie replied to jaysmom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Wow sounds like a Dr. with the WRONG information... I'd try and new Dr. or have him call my grandfather who started showing symptoms of Celiac at 86 years old!!! I really wish I could be of more help! -
ARCHIVED Looking For A Good Textured Bread
Kibbie posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I posted this on the product msg board as well... but a recipe would work just as good! My grandpa was just diagnosed with Celiac (a few months ago) I have been able to help him on a lot of stuff but bread is what is kiling him.

Kibbie posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My grandpa was just diagnosed with Celiac (a few months ago) I have been able to help him on a lot of stuff but bread is what is kiling him.

ARCHIVED The Handsome Little Man In My Avatar
Kibbie replied to plantime's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
MY daughter had a sever bought with a blistery diaper rash that just wouldn't go away about 3 months before she was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. (It did go away before the diagnosis but she had more sever symptoms by then) Looking back both my pediatrician and I believe that was the first sign of Celiac Disease, we just didn't know because she is... -

ARCHIVED Please Explain This
Kibbie replied to mom-to-claire's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Small amounts do the same amount of damage as large amounts. Kids however recover very quickly when they go gluten free (my daughter was completely symptom free after 3 days on the diet). Before her biopsy we were told to go gluten light... I fed her 1 saltine cracker a day for 2 weeks and everything else was gluten free. She still had symptoms (lethargy... -
ARCHIVED Here Is A Good One.. Baby Tests Negative So Dad Thinks Baby Is Fine.
Kibbie replied to zachsmom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
You may have to do some sole searching on this.... my husband resisted a gluten free diet with out having the Biopsy performed on my DD. Even though her ttg was at a 73 (CLEARLY Celiac) So we had it done to please him after all she is his kid too. And I religiously fed her 1 saltine cracker a day for 2 weeks knowing I was doomed for vomits ville.... -
ARCHIVED First Visit With Pediatric Gi
Kibbie replied to ACottrell's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
If you want a firm diagnosis where the Dr. says "Your son has ______" sadly most Pediatric GI's are going to require a biopsy. My husband wanted a firm diagnosis so our 18 month old had a biopsy. After her confirmed diagnosis my grandfather and my husbands grandmother were both diagnosed with Celiac (they got tested because they decided that might... -
