I am in the same boat as you are. I know that my two kids and I have it, but none of us have an official diagnosis. My daughter was tested at 18 months old but it came back neg. I had started her on the diet while waiting for test results and she improved so much, I said screw the results-they were not accurate! I had a really hard time convincing my Mom...

Did his docs put him on a stool softener of any kind? My daughters gastro specialist put her on Miralax (it's over the counter.) It has no flavor and helped tremendously. We had to use it every day for a few months so that her bowel could get back to normal. You really need to keep his stool very soft for a long time since it sounds like his have been traumatized...

This was the problem with my kids too. They now it it w/out complaint. The trick: I mixed it with sugar syrup, putting just a little of the real stuff into the sugary stuff. Gradually I dilluted it more and more, until they were eating pure maple syrup-and loving it! I used to hate the stuff, but it worked on me too. We buy the Costo pure maple syrup and...

Do you have an in and out burger? Everything there is fine except their buns, of course.

I started work in a dental office in August, and was feeling pretty good after being gluten free for5 months. However, about two weeks into the job, I started having increasingly bad brain fog and problems with my eyes. Sometimes my whole upper jaw will just ache, even though I have no cold or tooth problems. I use the powder free gloves but the dentists...

Promethius is the only one that has credibility with any of the doc's I've talked to. Enterolab does not have enough scientific evidence out there to back it up and my gastro specialist called them scam artists. I don't know if that's true, but if you are looking for the offical "proof" of celiac disease, you need to go with prometheus.

My husband has not been diagnosed w/ celiac, but has it in the family and both our kids have it. He recently developed a rash on his forehead on both sides, and on both sides of his nose. There is a little on his chest. The rash is red and if he doesn't exfoliate and moisturize it is very dry and flakey. It is very noticeable and not going away. My question...

I just had krispy kreme moment this weekend too. Doughnuts are my FAVORITE junk food so it is the hardest to deal with. When I have one of these moments, I indulge myself in my favorite gluten free dessert. I helps make the longing go away! Feeling your pain, Stacy

If what they are making is playdough, then Quinoa flour is a great substitute. It's what I use. I would see if the teacher would use that instead for the whole class, so you don't have to worry about airborn flour or cross contamination.

Your daughter sounds just like mine. She was neg for celiac. Have her tested through enterolab. Both my kids tested positive for gluten sensitivity and the diet has done wonders for them. Open Original Shared Link

I got glutened from cheetos, no doubt. I won't try them again!

That all sounds very scary. I would definately check into what the other two suggested, they may be onto something. Also, you may need to go gluten free and Casin free, and just see what happens. Visit this website and read the testimonials Open Original Shared Link It's definately worth a try. Good luck. Stacy

What are they testing the stool for? My daughter had three day stool sample, but it was to check for bacteria and white blood cells, not celiac. It came back normal except for some bacterial overgrowth. She also had a celiac panel drawn. It took over three weeks for the test results to come back. She had such terrible constipation, I couldn't wait that long...

Thank you for your imput. I think I have seen a website like that. I will check it out again and give them the site. Much Appreciation, Stacy

Yes, he has physical therapy sessions 3 times a week. I don't know what program it is. We live in California. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I am desperate to find out if this is what is holding him back. It is a difficult disease, but if it we know that he had celiac, at least we could do something about it. Much Appreciation, Stacy
