    Some history - my son who is now 1 was in hospital for approx a month for malnutrition, with no conclusive results. He was put on a gluten, dairy, soya and egg free diet for the past month AND HE LOST WEIGHT!! i went in to check his weight and when they told it to me i cried (and ate chocolate ), but seriously, i am at a loss!! what should i do?! any...

    Hiya! at least you found the answer and that he has grown and thrived on the diet! Did you make your whole house gluten free? if not how do you keep him from putting stuff in his mouth?!

    i feel bad for you, its awful seeing your baby throw up... my ped told me, (my son had a similar story) that i should keep him off gluten till he is one. have you tried giving him rice cereal? or cornflour cereal? mine takes the rice not the corn flour, and both are actually gluten free. try him on that and see if maybe the whole 'cereal' is too heavy...

    my DD was gluten addict before we found out she was celiac - and i mean that!!! she absolutely refused point blank to touch anything that looked like it could be healthy (must be her father's genes!!) Since she has been off gluten, around 6 months, she asks now for raisins or craisins for a 'treat'!! (Long may it last!!) seriously, i have just been in...

    hello, somehow couldn't get on the site for a few days, dunno why!! i tried to get my son to start nursing from me, but he had no idea what i was on about, i guess i'll just have to give up on that idea... but, on a happier note, it seems to me that he is gaining, even if only slowly, but at least his appetite seems to be going up!! i think i am gonna...

    thanks all! i am gonna try to give it a shot back at nursing, i miss him!! he has maintained his weight (went again today and he has finally passed the 15lb mark) so we are all proud of him and he's clapping for himself, all proud!!! to all those questions about how i know he can't take liquids, well, if you would see his t-shirt after he has tries to...

    Thanks all for your support!! Now that we've been home for a weekend, and i have (kinda!) gotten over the trauma of hte hospital, things seem to be getting into some type of routine... not that he's eating that muchin the way of variety!! he likes babyjars, so i mix it with babyrice, and a little bit of formula, and he has that for breakfast and for supper...

    we are finally home from hospital, after 2 and 1/2 weeks, plus 2 weeks in another hospital! phew!! BUT they still have no idea what is the matter. they are basically saying that if your child doesn't want to eat its my fault and problem!! the problem is that i have no idea what to give a 10 month old to eat - he is on a gluten, dairy, soya and egg free...

    sorry all, been stuck in prison/hospital!!! haven't had access or laptop, which i am now on!! first things, the good news, he's finally put on weight! but before you get all excited for me, it's only coz of his ng tube the first few days we were here, the hospital did nothing, saying they were doing observations!! my prof walked out on me on day number...

    a little bit of backround... my 2 and 1/2 year old is a celiac and is doing absolutely great on the diet and knows, so far, what she should and shouldn't be eating... now for the FUN!! my now 10 month old(this happened a month ago) was admitted to hospital for severe dehydration and they realised that he was malnourished... they forced me to stop nursing...

  12. shan

  15. shan
    i don't know how long youu've been on the diet - my dd has been on it for 10 weeks - and i can tell you that though i am still stuck for what to give her for lunch, it does get easier!! i basically stopped feeling guilty if i gave her the same lunch a few days on the run!! she doesn't care so why should i?!?! i also try not to feel bad if i miss out a day...

    poor you, and poor son, he must feel so bad every time he dirties himself! My daughter (2) has been on the diet now a few weeks, and she is so much happier! she doesn't miss all her favorite stuff, although at hte beginning , we tried to give her a match for what we are eating. now already, at her daycare, she understands, and she doesn't even try! she...

    how do i know what it is that is making my daughter get the reaction? fromwhat i and her teacher are giving her, it would seem she is fine, yet every second week she seems to be getting a reaction!!! does baby powder have gluten? could that be a problem? and if i bake at night, with regular flour, could there still be flour in the air the next morning...

    my two year old was just diagnosed as a celiac 2 months ago, and while in the hospital for her biopsy, i asked the gi when i should introduce my (then) 4 month ols son to gluten. he told me that current research says that keeping your child off gluten will lessen their chances of them having it, as in, with me nursing my baby for as long as possible it can...

    thanks all of you for your help and encouragement!! i guess i was overwhelmed when i wrote in!! had a chat with hubby, and he said the worst part of it was that i wouldn't be able to make a certain dish for him!! (dunno if he was joking or not!) and he too told me he was scared how his fam would react, so now we are discussing how to tell them if it...
