    I dont get to post here very often, as life is crazy busy for us. However I would really appreciate your thoughts on this. In a follow-up to the post titled "what could this be?" My daughter was suspected yesterday by ped gastro's at vanderbilt childrens ER in nashville as having spastic colon. What is your thoughts and experiences with this? Does this...

    My youngest child is almost 6 months old. He is exclusively breastfed, only this week have I offered him a few bites of baby food. However his entire life his gas has been extremely nasty, and it is getting worse. I mean almost inhuman! No kidding! His bowel movements are normal for breastfed babies, and they are foul, but they have absolutely nothing...

    my daughter is 12, and is just the opposite. at home i think she has add, but her 5th and 6th grade teachers seen no sign of it at school. i have just sent a letter asking her 7th grade teachers if they are seeing any signs of it now, as her grades have slipped this past 9 weeks and she had a couple of missing assignments. not trying to make an excuse...

    i noticed you mentioned it being hard and expensive to send gluten free lunches to school. i wanted to share with you all what i do. since my daughter was the first one and only one in her school with celiac, noone knew anything about it. we agreed that she should not have to eat a cold lunch every day since she wasnt bringing her lunch based on preference...

    does your school have a program for students with chronic diseases? ours is starting this this semester. i just got a letter and form about it yesterday. i called the county wide nurse director and she said they would occasionally pull my daughter out during her related arts (not academic) class to discuss her disease (celiac) and ways to cope, things...

    With help on breastfeeding and increasing your milk supply, go to kellymom dot com. It is a great forum for moms a d breastfeeding. I would think that keeping baby on just breastmilk vs breastmilk and formula would help settle tummy. Good luck, i know its so hard and frustrating. Especially with all the differing info and hard to dx little ones, it makes...

    hello all! i am seeking advice, thoughts, information, research, anything. i live in a small town, but would love to open a little shop in which i sell gluten free food items that kroger and walmart dont carry, and serve meals. not a huge restaurant, just a little place with like 6 tables for 4. different menu daily. what are your thoughts on this...

    the following are some products my daughter has been eating with no problems. however, a lady we know has celiac and says she should not be eating these products at all. i dont see anything on the ingredients list, but am i missing something? kellogs corn flakes kellogs rice crispies random brands of hot dogs (we have swapped to only nathans or hebrew...

    well, i could go ahead and swap the home over, and then if it turns up that i need extra stuff or just cant manage the cravings, i could always eat those things outside of the home. thank you all so much for the advice so far. keep it coming! i really appreciate it!!

    i should add that i have never had trouble getting pregnant, i havent been tested for celiac. my daughter has it and my sons show signs. i am hoping that by swapping the whole house over, it will of course banish any chance of CC at home and that my boys will react positively to the change, as well as hubby and myself. i am going to ask my doc to order...

    hello!! i have been planning on switching my house to completely gluten free on feb 1st for a couple months now. found out last night i am pregnant. assuming 6-8weeks along. going to doc in the morning. will it be ok to go ahead and swap during the pregnancy? have any of you done this?

    i know almost nothing about the 504 plan. i would love to hear all the details about them, the pros and cons, from every age group.....

    thank you all so much for your responses!!! my hubby and i went today and spoke with the principal. he was exceptionally nice. yesterday, the teacher in question, and 2 or 3 others, watched as my daughter left the class with the others, stopped at a friends locker, then at her locker, then to the bathroom, then down to the fridge and grabbed part of...

    I wanted to add that I also called the county school nutritionist yesterday to see if I should get a letter from her confirming our verbal agreement, but she said that since the cafeteria staff was not involved in the storage or prep of her meals, that it wasn't under her radar. It is just the principal and teachers involved at this point.

    I am in my first issue with the school regarding my daughter and celiac, and am looking forward to your advice on this situation. Last school year was our first to deal with this, and rather than have the school supply her with meals, I worked out a system that worked wonderful for myself, my daughter, her teachers, and was verbally approved with the county...

    Last year, while still in elementary school, we arranged a plan that I felt was the easiest and safest for all involved. I would send my daughters meals, she would have access to her teachers fridge and microwave. She would be allowed to get up from class 5 min early to prepare her meal. When entering middle school this fall, we made the same arrangement...

    I am not Catholic, and know hardly anything about the Catholic beliefs, so please bear with me. I mean absolutely NO DISRESPECT when I say anything. It is so sad for me to understand that being Catholic is so hard for celiacs. Its heartbreaking! I don't see how a priest can forbid you from using a cracker that is gluten free and safe for you. Especially...

    i am also interested in hearing the answers to this, as my 2 yr old is getting unexplained diaper rashes and my 4 yr old has been breaking out on his face. their older sister has celiac, but no skin issues thankfully. of course once one child or family member has celiac, its gonna make me think everything they get is related.. =) we live in podunk as well...

    i agree, the fruit and veggie trays, the deli trays, and the tacos are all great ideas. you can even buy fritos or any kind of corn chips instead of taco shells and do what we call a "taco pile on". you just pile all the toppings on the chips in your bowl or plate. i have also just started making bacon wrapped hot dogs. you take hot dogs, cut them into...

    first off, i want to second the praises everyone is sending your daughter! she is being very responsible standing up for herself. i completley understand how hard this is for her, my daughter was diagnosed the summer before 5th grade, so we have been right there! this thought kept popping in my head.... if this teacher is so sure that baking is an irreplacable...

    my daughter has been gluten free for a year and a half. she has seen remarkable progress, yet there are still issues i would like to see more improvement on. we try to avoid cross contamination issues, but it is soo very hard in a home setting, with young children who simply do not understand. my 4.5 year old is very hyper and emotional, much more emotional...
