Well, I have a slightly different suggestion, obvously you know your child and I have only read a few posts but here's my 2 cents. Is your child highly creative/creativly gifted? I am and my daughter is and boy do we have a hard time keeping on task. It's not that we don't want to, it's just that we are right brained-and have a lot of ideas. Our brains...

Due to the inaccuracy of the blood test, I was never convinced that I'd have my son (22 months) tested and knew I'd never do a biopsy. His Dr. ordered other blood work so we did do the blood test, it came back negitive and my doc seems to think that's reason enough to go back on gluten. I know that's rediculous so we trudge on. I was excited about genetic...

Well, he's not lactose intolerant, both of my other children caught what I can only assume was the rotavirus. The older children had more "classic" symptoms (the baby had no fever and when he threw up it was more like an over eating kind of vomit then a virus) so once they came down with it, we gave the baby milk 2 days ago and he's fine. I never fully...

My son is 21 months old he was tested 3 weeks ago and although I don't have the actual numbers, I was told everything was "normal" WE deciced to keep him on the diet due to the inaccuracy of the test. Today is day 5 if being gluten-free (last week we were gluten light-oops) and for 3 days he's had terrable diarrhea, and he vomited last night. He's lost...

I think this may be happening with my son. We removed gluten (only a few day totally gluten-free) and now he's getting diariah, I'm so frustrated, is it a bug, is it dairy, is it from one of the new ingrediants? This is way worse then anything he's ever had before. I really hope it's just a virus (that sounds so ugly, to hope you r kid has a virus) b/c...

Oh no! I'm so sorry. I did melt my butter and my bananas were so overripe they were part of what I consider the "liquid" The dough was thick, somewhere between quick bread and cookie consistancy. I hate that they didn't work for you. We stuck our leftovers in a bag in the fridge and they were still excellent today, maybe an extra egg would improve...

So I made my first gluten-free muffins this morning. They are great! I don't like to use recipes (even when one is in front of me I don't really follow it ) so I spent a lot of time yesterday reading about the hows and whys of all the gluten-free flours. I made banana chocolate chip mini muffins, they are a little sweeter then I would have liked...

No, we haven't tested him for allergies. I will bring that up next visit.

Wow, thank you all for the quick responce!

We've been gluten free for 8 days, well, I thought we were anyway...let me give you some background: Silas, my 21 month old has tested negitive for Celiac (blood tests only) I know from reading all of these great posts that that really doesn't mean much adn we need to try the diet for a while. He's been daignosed with failure to thrive, he's small and...

I bought all kinds of fun flours at wild oats today, sweet sorgum, brown rice, flax and tapioca...I forgot potato starch, actually I just didn't think I needed it, now every recipe I find has potato starch in it. Can I use more tapioca starch or corn starch, is regular corn starch not gluten free? Thanks!!

I am right there with you. We haven't gotten my son's results back but are going gluten-free anyway to see if it helps regardless of what the tests say. We've decided to have a gluten-free house for safety reasons and so ds has one place he's aloud to eat everything. I've wraped black electical tape around everything with gluten in it as we cannot afford...

Hi, I'm new. I'm scared. I'm overwhelmed. My son was just tested for Celiac yesterday, we'll get the results next week. He's got a lot of symptoms, he's 21 months and as developed (physically, emotionally and developmentally) as a 14 month old. His failure to thrive got me investigating and I wanted to talk to the dr about gluten intolerance but...

Hi, I'm very new, I suspect my 21 month old to be gluetin intollerant, while I'm researching and deciding whether or not to have him tested for Celiac I'd like to start experimenting with gluten-free recipes. A friend of mine has a grain mill which can mill rice into flour (since rice four is OUTRAGEOUS!) but she's used it for wheat and it's not able to...
