    I pack lunch everyday for my son. It was easier when he was in preschool, as they had a microwave and would heat it up for him. That way I could fix a big batch of gluten-free macoroni and cheese etc, and portion it into ta-go tupperwares, and just put it in his lunchbox. Now at his 'big boy school' they don't heat it up. Which is a challenge. So I have...

    My son Justin turned four in July and has been gluten-free for two years. Besides an occassional accidental exposure, he has been health ever since avoiding gluten consumption. But for the last few weeks, he's been sick again. His behaivor is just like the old-uncontrollable days, and he can't even get to the bathroom in time before he goes in his pants...

    Order a case of Wellshire Farms gluten free dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets. It's so easy to put a few in a zip lock and throw it in the lunch box. Also, make a few boxes of Annies gluten-free macaroni and cheese on Sunday, and then portion them all out into little tupperware containers for the week, that can easily go in the lunch box.

    I believe you and pray for you. I was accused of maunchasun syndrome by my exhusband and his mother during a custody battle. My son has celiac disease. It was only the grace of God that saved my son. Please keep us updated. If you don't mind me saying - I promise this works - when you are ready, you fall to your knees. reach up to God and surrender...

    I put just small drops around the wart (as I'd been told to) then covered it with a bandage. It was not exposed He may have managed to get it in his mouth - but I think there is a difference between Celiac and gluten intolerance, and I think his body just can't tolerate it in any way Regardless - it all leads to the same result, which is just to be...

    please read this Open Original Shared Link then i'll stop see my other two replies to the absorbtion issue

    Hey guys - look at this Open Original Shared Link "Gluten is in even in Play-Doh, adhesive on stamps and stickers, and many hygiene products (and can be absorbed through the skin – does not need to be ingested to negatively affect a gluten-sensitive child)." So Justin, being "gluten intolerant" rather than Celiac (as I later found out through interolab) ...

    Shoot - I lost my reply half way through - sorry if it posts twice Long story short...My 4 yr old is gluten intolerant - he's been gluten free for approx 2 yrs After trying the cryo/freezing; over the counter methods, duct tape (you name it) - I tried Vitamin E on a wart he has on his hand. He then got, not bums, not hives, more like fifths disease or...

    It really varies - it used to be for the longest time, he never had a solid one - so I didn't even try pushing him on the potty (but then, we were eating McDonalds regularly) - he's had no loose stools since we found out about the fries, and stopped eating them. Now he has even been a bit consipated - but I really think he was holding it. I think waitin...

    Karen, I know you're right about taking the pressure off the poor little guy. Thanks for your advice. ~Kirsten

    Ken, I'm in Winchester. There is a support group that meets at the hospital. But first - go to Harvest Moon (Vitamins Plus) - they're off Rt 11 Take Jubal Early past the Grand furniture store, then make a left at light onto 11 and see Harvest on your right - after going a few miles, past dealers etc - in a nice shopping center, see Talbots and Ann...

    My son Justin will be four at the end of July. He was diagnosed with Celiac when he was 1 1/2. He has been dry through the night since he was just two, and has no trouble holding, controlling urinating on the toilet. The issue we have is with bowel movements. I've had people tell me that training is harder with boys than with girls - and that may or may...

    McDonalds send the exact same boilerplate email to everyone - ver batem - I received this same one. My response, in part, was this: "Under Nutrition Info section, if I click on Ingredients Open Original Shared Link I see that the fries contain natural flavoring via wheat sources. Albeit, if I go to the Food Allergy and Sensitivity Listing...

    Merika, I didn't think of the two year molars! Someone else suggested it might be a medicine or diet change, but that hasn't happen. I guess I just assume virus, as the rest of us (husband and eldest child) all had the virus (vomiting and fever), but like I said, we all were only sick for 24 hrs. He threw up on Wednesday, and has been esentially passing...

    I know that Celiac Disease can be initially triggered by a number of factors, to include a virus/flu, which is what happened with Justin, my toddler son. Meaning, he was a-symptomatic prior to coming down with the flu. When he was diagnosed we put him on the gluten free diet and he has been healthy ever since, with the exception of cases of exposure...

    I took the kids to the pumpkin patch, where they were able to enjoy all the typical pumpkin patch type activities - as we were sitting on the hay ride, I noticed that a lot of people were taking a strand of hay (straw?) and putting it in their mouth - and so did my boys - then it dawns on me to wonder, "Is this gluten in its purest form, or what?!" This...

    You said, 'again' regarding the biopsy - did he have one before? If so, what did it say? I know that people question Dr. Fine (enterolab) but I just watched a video of one of the support groups he spoke at, in my area, and he spoke of bacteria in the duodendum (sp) - it was either a beleived cause of celiac disease or vise versa - but definately, they were...

    That is unfortunate - but like you said, there's so many reasons for him to only have so much of himself to give out - too bad there's not more 'hims' but until there are, so be it. On one hand, you want indesputable 'proof' via a clinical diagnosis, but you know your body, as only you could, and it is clear what the diet has done for you - I'm not really...

    here's the link to the cake Open Original Shared Link its lactose free and gluten free - yum and oh, another idea for food for parties is to do a taco salad - people wont know their eating gluten-free - just ensure that you use gluten-free ingredients, of course, such as: gluten-free corn chips, like frito lay brand - and gluten-free seasoning...

    For my son's parties (their bdays are the same week) in July we did the gluten-free Gluten Pantry Chocolate cake - it was excellent - everyone, kids and adults alike, were complimenting how good the cake was and no one knew it was gluten-free - when I said it was, they were all shocked. As far as the rest of the food, we planned the party at such a...

    Please keep us updated - we'll say a prayer for you, for answers and recovery

    p.s. Kathy - Your child knows what's best and that's what your milk is and you may not get raving support from the greater at large for nursing, but it's what God intended and I'm sure that thanks to you, your child is better of than without - stay strong!

    *crying* I let him drink Pediasure because when all he wants to do is drink, it kindof makes me feel like he's getting SOMETHING healthy, beings that it is a nutritional supplement - but I feel like a crummy mum because he should be eating healthier - I shouldn't be celebrating if I can get him to eat a handful of JUNK! You know what really makes me think...
