    my celiac dd will be turning 10 soon. i read the cake thread, so i will be ordering and baking a pamelas vanilla cake. she is having a luau -- and i am not a cake decorator. i am sure i can find someone to come to my house and decorate it for me. so what do i need to get as far as the icing and colors, etc go?

    i am concerned about how i am gonna make it. my dd has recently been diagnosed, so i am trying super hard to keep things normal for her and keep us all eating the same meals. i refuse to cook regular biscuits, cinamon rolls, etc and her smell them and not be able to eat them. i love to cook, but we are such a busy busy family. but i love to cook, when...

    my dd has just been diagnosed. my youngest child has been getting bumps, mainly on his face but some on his shoulders and upper arms, chest and neck. he is eating more and more table food as he is getting older. the bumps used to not be there at all. they dont seem to itch or bother him. they seem to be under the skin, if that makes sense. he also...

    i didnt realize rice was ok. i thought since it was pasta-like, it was out. thats a huge help right there! is it only certain brands or types?? i thought about the foil idea....thats something i can certainly handle. i want to eventually transfer us all to gluten free, just replacing as i go. my youngest son is almost 9 months, and the more breads,...

    i am going to start a support group here in my local area. i dont have the funds to join any of the patented groups like ROCK, so i guess i will just form my own little group. i will either have the meetings at our library or at my church. i need a name for my group -- my city is savannah -- so i thought of savannah sillys -- but i dont want to take away...

    she did great! she was a little more drowsy afterwards than when she was for previous surgeries, but those were 5 yrs ago. doc said all looked great. they did an endoscopy and colonoscopy. he said he biopsied 4-6 samples, and i can call friday to get the results. i had planned on starting the gluten free diet today following surgery, but doc said to...

    she knows she is having the endoscopy and the biopsy. i just have left out the colonoscopy part. afraid her anxiety will get the best of her a the thought of something going up "there". but you are right, i do NOT ever want a trust issue with her. no, we live in hickville, no trader joes, no whole foods, no asian market. there is an amish store about...

    my dd's scope is tomorrow they are also doing a colonoscopy along with the endoscopy and biopsy. what are they looking for with the scope and biopsy? what about the colonoscopy? will she be sore after the colonoscopy? i havent told her she is having this, as i dont want her thinking about it and worrying. also, i havent purchased a single gluten...

    this is the first time he has ever done this it is only on his trunk, with a little on his neck and maybe 1-2 on his head. none on his hands, feet, arms or legs. it goes away and comes back, has done this several times today.

    my 8 month old has been a bit fussy the past few days, but i just thought teething. yesterday we were at a friends house he had never been to, and after being there about an hour i noticed 3 spots on him. within 20 minutes he was covered in them, his eyes were red and puffy, and he was wheezing some. i rushed him to his ped's office. the p.a. saw him...

    my dd (almost 10) has had 2 positive blood tests for celiac. she will have a biopsy on june 17. her brothers, age 3 in july, and 8 months are to be tested. i havent taken them in for the bloodwork yet, as i am just afraid they will get a false neg at this age. however, the baby is showing some signs such as rotten poops (not completely yellow yet) and...

    Is it an absolute no-no for a celiac person to have foods that are safe themselves with the exception of being processed in a facility.....? I just wonder how careful and clean the facility itself is and how high the chances for cc are? I mean, I know its better to be safe than sorry. But we also live in an age where you have to put warnings on coffee...

    my dd is 9 and has had 2 positive bloodtests. we are waiting for an endoscopy and colonoscopy. i havent changed her diet b/c of waiting for these tests, although i wish i could go ahead. she also has a dad we dont live with, who, like yours, isnt very good at believing what i say. i want all the positive tests i can have to prove to him whats going on...

  22. strawberrygm
    that was a very good way of explaining it. i appreciate the time, thought, and effort it took for you to respond in such detail. thanks so much!! so, dd's father lives in Memphis. surely there is a support group there.

    My dd has been diagnosed Celiac. She is 9, will be 10 in Sept. Both sets of bloodwork have came back positive. We are waiting to have colonoscopy and endoscopy, June 14 at Vanderbilt Childrens. Her bio dad doesnt get it, and has a friend who is a doctor and also has celiac, telling him that it isnt that serious, that she can still have gluten, etc. ...
  25. strawberrygm
    please keep this thread going, and any one else with thoughts please chime in. i cant swap my dd over to the diet until after her colonoscopy and biopsy, scheduled for june 14. we live a very busy life right now, so eating out is sadly a regular for us. all the tips/links/ideas you can share are most appreciated.
