ARCHIVED I Glutened Her !
GFmum replied to vampella's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Welcome to mums who love their children dearly, are human and make mistakes! I found this great new brand of gluten-free muffin mix (anything to save me time as a full time working sole parent). I skimmed through the ingredients list for my son's allergins also...looked good. Whilst I was making the muffins I asked my son if he wanted to taste the mixture... -
ARCHIVED To Biopsy Or Not?
GFmum replied to katiejhawk's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
This may not be an issue in the USA as no one has mentioned it as yet (although insurance was raised) but to have membership to a coeliac society here in Australia you must have a confirmed biopsy diagnosis. I would look into the insurance aspects also if I were you. When my son had his biopsy, the enterologist came out stating that usually the bowel looks... -
I feel for you.... They are definately gastrointestinal symptoms from something? I would ask for a referral to a gastroenterologist firstly so that a specialist can determine which GI disease it may be. If there's ceoliac disease in the family mention it. I know someone who's lactose intolerance subsided once her coeliac disease was diagnosed and treated...

ARCHIVED What Do You Do For Lunches?
GFmum replied to prinsessa's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Don't you just hate people who sabbotage what you're trying to do! I put it down to lack of education and selfishness. Thankfully being vegitarian isn't life threatening but the mixed messages that poor child is getting can scar him for life (as I'm sure its just an example of others).....grrrr glad I got that off my chest! sorry...I've gone a bit off... -
ARCHIVED What Do You Do For Lunches?
GFmum replied to prinsessa's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Gee it's a tough time but I would suggest that the first thing you do is talk to your son about the fact that he can't eat some foods just like other children can't eat nuts, egg, etc which makes them sick. And that some have to have medicines or need wheel chairs etc to live normally. There's so many kids these days with intolerances, allergies, etc there... -
ARCHIVED What Do You All Think?
GFmum replied to cjblack's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Good luck with the results. I hope you get a solution to those aweful symptoms. Keep us updated! -
Hi LKelli I also think that your child's stomach upset is not gluten related (although you can never rule it out) as gastrointestinal upset (ie nausea and vomitting) is a common side effect of antibiotics. My son has coeliac disease, type I diabetes and multiple allergies. One of the allergies was to erythromycin (another antibiotic). He had extreme...
