Saddly we have stopped going. I have been a member of the same church my whole life. And now we don't go expect for holidays. The church nursery staff answer was " we just won't feed the treats to him." When I asked if they could stop doing treats in the play area. Rook had picked up a goldfish off the floor I didn't catch. Twice I snached a cookie out...

ARCHIVED What Are We Missing?
Rook's Mommy replied to The Mama's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Our son had a reaction to our shampoo. When we went gluten-free I called the company and it was safe. A year later or so he started reacting again. I couldn't for the life of me figure it out. Turns out they changed the formula. Every time he had a bath he got glutened. We all use Califonia Baby now and haven't had a problem. Just a thought. -
I hope you get better sooner then later. I did the same thing once with brownie. I grabbed a box it said Allergen free and was boxed between two gluten-free product of the same brand. My son was sick for days. It was heart breaking. So don't feel dumb. It happens. I now READ every thing that goes in the cart. Even if I have gotten it a hundread and two...

ARCHIVED Farmers Market Fights
Rook's Mommy replied to kenlove's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank God the owner listened to you. That is insane. -
This is so sad. My biggest fear is sending my son to school. I can't believe a school would allow this to go on let alone contribute to it. I am so sorry. You are very brave to stand up for your self and others.

ARCHIVED Failure To Thrive
Rook's Mommy replied to Mommy2Ellie's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Oh I hate that label. My son was label failure to thrive up until two months ago. We are back on the chart even at 3%. How long has your little one been gluten-free? My son started gain with much work from us. He can have dairy so we feed him milk shakes with protein milked in it twice a day. Butter goes into everything! I hope Ellie starts gaining for... -

ARCHIVED 20 Mos. Old Just Diagnosed & Hardly Eating With Severe Constipation
Rook's Mommy replied to teacherwheart's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
First I am so sorry to hear about your son's pain. It's heart breaking to see them like that. My son is 23 months old and was the same way. Now he is Gluten, corn, soy and peanut free. He is still dealing with constipation. We now on meds to help. I also keep a Camelbak filled with water or pear juice all the time. It has helped a ton. We also found he... -
ARCHIVED Hating The Allergist We Saw!
Rook's Mommy replied to Rook's Mommy's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Rook was gluten free at the time of the test. Which our doctor not the allergist did. They want to repeat it but I won't let them. It makes no sense to me when it may not come back + anyway. So we are putting it off until he is older. I call our doctor right way and she said she wouldn't recommend him again. That makes feel feel a little better. I... -
ARCHIVED Hating The Allergist We Saw!
Rook's Mommy posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
We got Rook into an allergist after a 3 month waiting list. And the guy was a total jerk. He tested him for twenty-six things and he is only not allergic to 4 of them. Anyway he was asking why we were there and I gave him the run down, after the test was done he points at the piece of paper and says "See no wheat allergy, you need to add it back into... -
ARCHIVED The Gluten-free Kitchen
Rook's Mommy replied to Hummingbird4's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My son is the only one who can't have gluten and there is none of it in my home. We had a lot of those comments at first. Even a few who said I was being mean to him by not letting have that cookie or piece of cake. People are dumb. Now I just say this is the only place I can make "safe" with out a shadow of doubt. So if I don't do it I am not doing my... -
ARCHIVED Breastfeeding Baby With Possible Celiac
Rook's Mommy replied to BethHS's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Our sons doctor wanted us to test him as well. We refused. From what I read the test is iffy that young. But we know that this is the most important time for brain development. He can be tested later on. What is most important now is that he grows properly. I had to give up gluten as well but we found out before he was eating solids. I have been gluten... -

ARCHIVED 3yo Daughter Diagnosed Last Week ... What To Do About Meals?
Rook's Mommy replied to sixdogssixcats's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My son and I are gluten free, my husband and daughter are not. I make everything gluten-free. All are meals are prepared safe for us. My best time saver trick is to make all my chicken on the weekends and freeze it. I bake three pounds at a time and shred it or cube it. Then freeze it in one pound bads. Then come a week day I can make stir fry, sweet and... -
ARCHIVED My Son Has A Rash.
Rook's Mommy posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hello, I have posted here in the past, but it's been awhile. My son is 20 months and has been gluten free since he was nine months. I am as well since I am still nursing. On the fourth of June we went to my father's b-day party and had cake. I was told it was gluten free. My son had some. The next day he had a rash. I went to the store and found the brand... -
ARCHIVED Meeting With My Sons Doctor
Rook's Mommy posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I am meeting with her on the 20th. I am a little worried that I am going to be blown off. After all she is the doctor you know. But I know there is something going on with my son. Since I have gone gluten-free he is so much better. He is happy. That is what I can't get over. But there are still a few things that are bugging him. Wheat is the biggie, but corn... -
