    Hi There! I preperation for going back to school I picked up Minute Maid Fruit Falls. I called them and they told me that the item itself does not contain gluten but is manufactured in a plant with gluten products. Anyone try this and have a reaction/ non reaction? Thanks!

    I have a question for you all. My DD just had her 2nd annual DEXA scan. Her first one proved that she had Osteoprosis at the age of 5~ and after a year of being on the gluten-free diet. Her total score was -2.5 I just got her results back today for this year and her score is -2.4. I am a little frustrated by the lack of improvement in a year. The endocrine...

    My DD Jiselle has had chronic leg pain since October '06( since she was 4 years old). She can not even walk up the stairs without being in pain. She was dignosed with Celiac in Jan '07. She got her first - bloodwork 6 months ago and she still has terrible shin pain. We just met with Endocrine 2 days ago and after several tests and scans,he has dignosed...

    My kids have been on the gluten-free diet for a year. They have had no problems with milk products after being gluten-free for 2 months.

    When we found out about Shaylin and Jiselle, we had everyone who was not + by bloodwork to the test to see if we were carriers of celiac disease. As it turns out, Serena is not a carrier, but both my husband and I are. Hayden's genetic test showed on the DQ2 gene that he has the pre-disposition for celiac disease from both me and my husband. This is...

    Update from the GI from last week.... Shaylin~ She is now in the 50% for height and the 70% for weight(30 lbs. That is up from 18 at this time last year ). The Dr is not so pleased that her IgG is still elavated so we get to do another endoscophy with biopsy after the holidays. She is thinking that Shaylin may not be healing correctly. Then she...

    Ok, it has been a long while since I have attempeted to journal and I figured that it was about time that I tried it again. So much of my life has changed in the last couple of years and months that I will try to sum it up in bullet points and get to the daily grind stuff pretty fast. 1. Dh and I met in 1995, got married 1999. 2. Had Serena in 6...

    Thanks Ladies! We use CA Baby shampoo for all of us, so I guess I will dilute it and give it a try.

    Hi everyone! I am looking for a gluten-free dog shampoo. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    ykes, the vit E is news to me too. I will have to call on my brand tomorrow. You also might want to check the brand of napkins, soaps and papertowels.

    Yeah! It took a year but Shaylin's IgA finally went down to 0!!!!!!!!! I am so excited! Now if I can just get the food allergist to confirm a corn allergy next month......
  13. jen2be2
    Hi There. I agree with others that some other foods might also be aggrivating her as well. Milk and corn are the most likely suspects. Or it could be that she is still healing or a combo of both. I also want you to know that Jiselle, my 5 year old, has been on a gluten-free diet for a year in early Jan. and she still has stomach pain. We re-did another...

    Hi Julie, I was you exactly one year ago. My youngest DD, who was 18 months at the time was suffering from FTT(failure to thrive). She had severe reflux, chronic diareah and a tummy bloat that you would not believe. She was 18 lbs and loosing weight fast. She was dying and we did not know why. We finally found a GI that was able to tell us that she most...

    They did a whole lot of blood work when she had her 2nd endo and bio. last month. She was fine with all of her vit. levels. Her villi is perfect, but she does still have a mild case of gasritis. She is on gluten-free vit., but I will not be suprised if they give her some extra Vit. D supplements. Can low bone density be responsible for her chronic leg...

    Holiday~ Thanks for the info. I was not sent the gluten statement. Thanks for letting me know about it. I do have some questions for you. What products did you have some reactions to? My kids are on the more sensitive side and I would like to be as careful as I can be. Serena was born with a narrow aorta and by the time she was 5 weeks old, her...

    I was looking on the internet for a new non-toxic gluten free house cleaners when I found this company called Shaklee. I e-mailed the rep asking if their cleaners were gluten-free, and this is the list that she sent to me: I was wondering if anyone has tried any of thier products and if they were any good and truely gluten-free. Thanks!

    Thank you all for taking the time to respond to my question. She did have the DEXA scan done at Children's Hospitial. When they gave me the results, they told me that they compared her results to other same race and age children and still found her bone density to be low~ so I am hoping that we are getting the correct test results. It is good to know...

    Hi Everyone. You might remember me from a couple of months ago asking about the DEXA scan for my 5 year old daughter. We just got the results today. She does have low bone density. They are referring her to an Endocrine Specialist and an Orthopedic Specialist. As we have HMO, we are going to be waiting a while before we actually can make an appt...

    Thanks ladies! I will check to see if I can find them in the pet store. I tried the link to amazon, but it did not work.
  21. jen2be2
    Thanks for your replys. I just had no idea what to expect. I am glad that this will be painless( she has to have another endoscopy and biopsy next month). If you did have lower bone density~what did they put you on to help build it up?

    My DD is 5 and has had leg pain for over a year. She complains about it all the time, esp. when going up the stairs. Sometimes it is so bad that she will stop playing and sit down. The GI is scheduling her for a DEXA scan. Has anyone had this done? Did you have other tests to check for bone density? Is there anything else that could be causing this pain...
  23. jen2be2
    My DD will have a DEXA scan in a few weeks. Did anyone else have this done to check bone density?

    I just had a gluten-free whose child had a -blood work result but a + biopsy. I think they say that 20% of people who have celiac disease do not have + bloodwork results. I would look into genetic testing to see if she is a carrier. If so, then if I wanted a for sure answer, then I would consider a gluten challenge with biopsy even if the blood results...

    We just got a puppy this weekend. We got her started on a wheat free food. But it is not gluten-free because it has barely in it. I am not too concerned as I feed her outside and I make sure she eats it all before the kids go see her. My question is that we are starting obidence lessons on Sunday and the treats that I have found out there are wheat free...
