  1. Before this, my son would eat the following (this is a very short list) Oatmeal (very rarely) Life Cereal and Apple Jacks Apples, Strawberries, Raspberries, Apples and Mangoes Pasta (with butter or Annie's cheese sauce, not with red sauce) spaghettios Sourdough Bread/Baguettes (only the insides) Muenster Cheese Saltines raisins apple...
  2. Perhaps they will change my mind when we go in. I am trying to keep an open mind. However, I can not fathom putting my kid under general anesthesia when I can just change what he eats and see if that helps his constant stomach ache. I know that kids with diabetes rebel when they are teens and that it's just part of the process. And they have all the...
  3. I think I made a chocolate mayonnaise cake once when I was a kid. It was pretty good. I was just a little surprised to see it in a gluten-free recipe because a lot of mayonnaise has unexpected ingredients, like soy in it. I wasn't sure if it had 'modified food starch' either. As for frosting, I am the Queen of scratch frosting. I am not too proud to...
  4. Yeah.. I go back and forth on the biopsy thing. But he's in pain right now, and I just can't sit back and do nothing when three separate blood tests (I think there's three) came back positive for celiac disease. Our doctor said they weren't even close to normal. I feel like it's irresponsible to hold off when I know how to do this. I know it's not all...
  5. Which yellow cake recipe is it? I saw one with mayonnaise on allrecipes. Can you link it for me? We will not be doing the biopsy. My plan is to go gluten-free for a couple of months. If his stomach gets better, then we'll continue. If it doesn't, we can do some more invasive tests at that point. Good call on the snack packs. And thank goodness...
  6. 99% of what we eat (dad and I) is gluten-free, or can be easily converted. I make a lot of chicken and veggies with rice or potatoes. I'd have to switch to organic chicken broth to get rid of the barley (chicken broth is a staple ingredient) or switch to tamari (wheat free) versus regular soy sauce. But my son has never, and will not touch what we eat. ...
  7. Thanks so much for these great responses. His numbers were high enough that I don't think I'd let them do a biopsy. But I think we'll be going in the next couple of weeks, and it takes months for the gluten to clear his system, doesn't it? Poor little guy. -Margaret
  8. My son, who will be 4 in September, just tested positive on his celiac tests. His numbers were apparently very high. Our primary is referring me to a pediatric GI, so we'll get that going ASAP. But methinks we need to go off of gluten now. We have little almost no known history of this, but I am very familiar with this, because my best friend has been dealing...
