  1. Well yes he has an IEP which is like a 504, but for special needs kids. This program is unfortunately not at all connected to my school district. It is a federally funded program, typically for low income families but because the program includes kids from the county special needs program that is how he got in. (sorry it is confusing to explain but he is...
  2. thanks Missy and Shayes mamas....a friend sent me these emails/links Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link the 2nd one actually gives you a list of what plastics to avoid and what are ok if you have to use plastic.
  3. that is so cool. The only thing I am just now starting to worry about is actually using plastics. There has been a lot of talk in my community about plastic materials and how they are possibly leaching toxins. I'm so confused I don't even know what containers are safe anymore. I do currently still use some plastic until I can figure this all out. I really...
  4. congrats to you for still nursing. I nursed my son until he weaned himself at 32-33 months. I don't have any advise. Just curious does the judge and your x still know you are nursing? I would hate for it to happen but it seems like that might be another thing they will argue about. What a pain in the rear judge, hopefully he will place the order soon so your...
  5. Background: my son has a few mild special needs and goes to a full inclusion program that in run by both the County of Ed and mainstreams the kids in Headstart preschool. We had his annual IEP meeting this week. Now before I went into the meeting the spec. ed teacher(county employee) mentioned to me that Head start was probably bring up the whole diet...

  8. Ok this might sound odd, but since I've been gluten-free I am cold more frequently, more tired and have achy muscles all the time for the past month. Anyone have a clue why? Could it be my iron levels dropping?
  9. so total newbie here to dairy free so what all do I need to watch out for on ingredients list? I know casein,whey and milk are dairy but what other words?
  10. My friend has gone through this with her baby too, just an FYI about Alimentum, the Alimentum liquid ready to feed does NOT have corn...the Alimentum powder DOES have corn in it. I'm not sure about the milk, I'll ask my friend.

  12. ok so right around week 3 or 4 I noticed dairy possibly becoming a problem for my son, but I haven't taken it out until today week 7. Now for myself I am right around week 4 gluten-free and I am suspecious dairy is hurting my tummy and sending me to the potty room. I'm going dairy free starting now. So if we are truely celiac, how long should we avoid...

  15. Alright I ordered the gene test for my son (without permission from hubby) but I'm sure he'll be ok with it. How long does it really take to get the results back? I'm only having them come to me, not to a doctor. If his gene test comes back with celiac gene then I will get tested too.
  16. thanks...brain fart here I was scrolling right past it each time...LOL....now we shall see if hubby will allow us to test for $$$ reasons.
  17. I can't find it on their site, the gene test that is...
  18. and you can do it while off gluten??? My son has been eating gluten-free for 7 weeks and myself for nearly 4 weeks. Is the stool test better than a cheek swab? Does that lab even do a cheek swab test?
  19. I would like my son and myself to get genetic testing but apparently my son's doctors are not infavor of getting it done because it is an expensive test and our healthplan may not cover it. I would like to get the least invasive testing done like a cheek swab. Does anyone know what reliable company to go through and how much? Anyone know if Blue...
  20. I hope there is an end for us too, my son is on his 7th week gluten-free and no improvements in his constipation at all. I suspect dairy may also be a culprit but I haven't removed it completely yet.
  21. just e reminder for tommorrows parent support meeting
  22. Nancy he's in a federally funded/county preschool program and they are pain in the you know what on everything...Fortunately they already have a letter from a natropath doctor saying my son was intollerent of wheat, but not one saying he is celiac. We did come to a compromise I am suppling the main meals and they supply fruit/veg and milk. They serve real...
  23. ok so the GI did blood testing back in january on my 3 yr old most of the tests came back negative except 1, the IgG antiglidian was a very strong positive. Well at that point the GI doc told me the results were inconclusive and that the particular test has a high false + rate. Anyways she had us challenge the gluten-free diet....so he has been on the gluten...
