    my 2 and 1/2 year old son hasn't grown in a whole year! He is tiny and thin (makes up for it in character though ) We have done the celiac panel and it has come back clear. We put him on a gluten free diet for the past 3 weeks, and i want to know in how long will i see a change? These past weeks, i know that he has not had a drop of gluten coz he didn...

    My dd was just over 2 when she was diagnosed. She had a growth spurt, then stopped growing and only started after i had taken out dairy and soya from her diet. We will probably try dairy and soya when she is 5, she is going to be 4 this month!

    My son had FTT in a major way, with celiac being ruled out about five times and him anyway being gluten free. He was put on reflux medication and started to thrive. He was also put on a restricted diet - gluten dairy soya and egg free - which was slowly reintroduced, but it was definately a silent reflux!! Now, before any of you say anything, it is not...

    It is only my almost four year old that actually has celiac. Our main meal - supper - is gluten free, although i might make different pastas seeing as we eat seperate times from her. Any other meal, she has her cereal, her snacks i pack for her day care etc. Her brother,even though her is 2.4 years old, knows that she gets OJ instead of milk in her cereal...

    the recipe was great when it first came out of the oven, but when she ate it today, it was awful and crumbly. The taste stayed the same, so that was ok, coz she ate it, but i am a allergic to crumbs How can i stop that from happening? is it too much xanthium? Or is it because the bread mix was potato, corn and rice based, as opposed to a mix that had...

    My dd is having a baking day at her day care, and they are baking Challa bread. Whenever they bake, we are told the day before and my dd bakes with me and we come in with it on baking day. This time, i decided to take a regular recipe for challa, and just use her gluten free flour in it instead - it was a bread mix that is awful, but with this recipe.....

    i was told by my dr and by ALL the hospital staff when we were admitted for my son's malnutrition, that every formula is gluten free according to law!! I am not sure i believe them 100%... but they did say that.

    i just go to a shop that sells kosher stuff, and any premixes, like stuffing and coating things, or brownie and truffle mixes etc, have a sell by date for approx 15 months. I spend plenty $$$$$ and buy for the whole year. I also buy all my spices, packet soup mixes etc then coz it has much fewer additives and msg. Basically anything that i have the smallest...

    If you buy your stuff at passover time, approx april, and you get Kosher for Passover and NON GEBROKTS, they will be free of ALL your allergens. I know it is another three months, but i buy for hte whole year some stuff, coz i know there is no way any cc... I am not saying anything about the cost though

    Ok, here is the greatest news in the world... A new health shop opened in my area, and they are willing to order ANYTHING for me - i just have to name it!!! I am in seventh heaven I don't want them to order any ready made stuff, coz most have soya in it, and i don't yet know how much i can trust them to check those things out, so really i want them...

    When my son was in hospital, every breakfast came with bread on the tray, and if i complained, they took the bread off - useless coz everything was covered in crumbs. For the main meal EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR A WHOLE MONTH he had the same - rosat chicken, rice and baby carrots. My daughter, straight after her biopsy, and she was so bad they said start diet...

    Thanks, you are the best!! Sometimes i just want to give up and give her gluten again, but i know that it is really the soya and dairy that is getting me down now, coz those are new additions to her diet. I was telling my DH that if she could eat gluten, but still be off dairy and soya, it would be just as hard, coz almost all bread spreads are dairy/soya...

    I would like more stuff, like pretzels and crackers that are gluten free, dairy free and, the hardest, SOYA free. I find that companies use lots of soya flour in these savoury things and i find it really hard to give her 'healthy' snacks that i can keep in the car. I know that dried fruit is always an option, but hey, how much fruit can a not yet 4 year...

    Thanks for all your replies! ANy cookies that look half normal i am willing to try!!! (Just by the way, ever thought in you head "I HATE ALLERGIES" ) I guess i when my stuff doesn't work out i get put off baking for a while!! Also, seeing as i have such trouble with breakfast at the moment, so it is also muffins, as in another thing to bake, when...

    My dd was really cute, if not tactless, but i sure got the message!!! I made her cookies last night, which were gluten, dairy and soya free, which she tasted after her lunch today. Her only comment on them were, "Ma, they look like ....... throw up don't they!!!" I was ready to cry!!! (from laughter ) Seriously, i couldn't use any butter or marg -...

    My dd is in the same position, and i feel ( my opinion) that she will be a stronger kid if i don't stand up for her too much. Sure i would send in the cereal in her own bag, but to expect the whole class to be gluten free? That isn't the real world!!! Today they had a "wedding" in playgroup and i provided the food for her and if there was anything that...

    maybe it is something 'simple' like reflux?! My son was in hospital for a whole month having tests done on him, coz his sister has this terrible thing called celiac they discharged him saying he has an eating disorder and sent him to an eating clinic, you know the one for anorexics and such when he was just about one!!! They took one look at him and...

    i was very ill approx 5 weeks before dd was born - high fever and very strong antibiotics, they thought it was meningitis. She is a celiac and she is the only one of the family, unless you count my step-grandma

    My oldest, who is the celiac in our home, always had D. As it was our first, i didn't know that it was not supposed to be like that... Then she started losing weight and we nearly had her taken away coz we obviously didn't know how to feed her! When she was 21 months the dr (a new one!) did a bunch of tests and suggested celiac and going to a gastro. ...

    In israel half and london half. London doesn't really have a very large selection and there i find it easier - mom is doing the cooking It is here in israel that i find it much harder, with a very small selection of gluten-free, df, and sf. I have to make everything from scratch and, for the most part i enjoy it and i sure am getting better at it, but...

    Thanks for all your replies... She is not really a nut fan, except for peanut butter, and the only rice milk there is in my area is rice dream which is not ok and i can't amazon anything seeing as i live out of hte states!!! I did see a recipe for homemade almond milk which i think i will give a try when i can get hold of some almonds...

    my dd is dairy and soya free. for bread, rolls, basically anything baked that calls for 'milk' can i sub a fruit juice, like apple or orange? we live far away from any decent health shop (any decent shop for that matter!) and i don't have any other ideas. i have seen in the shop coconut milk preserved in a can, but i don't know if it is a strong flavor...

    We noticed that it was dairy and soya together that did us in! If we ate dairy, the swelling and bloat would stay if we ate even the tiniest amount of soy. Now we are off both we have not stopped getting compliments!!! And she looks way taller!!!

    thanks - it gives me some ideas on where to start!!! I guess i have to look for other milk. where i live there is only rice dream, which i understand has gluten in it. Am i right? The other milks (almond, etc) i guess i could find in a health store. are they very expensive? And if a recipe calls for milk/soya milk can i use one of the other milks or...

    any ideas for a breakfast that is gluten dairy and soy free? She has decided that she doesn't like rice cakes anymore, nor PB&J. Before she was gluten free she LOVED her cereal, although now i would be scared to try it (anyway what milk would i use?!) Sure she likes silly things like pancakes, muffins and anything sweet, but it isn't very healthy ...
