  1. Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

  2. wow, thanks so much guys! keep the opinions coming because i need all the info i can get. the enterolab sounds like the way to go for testing but it is so expensive... especially if there are four of us to be tested and no coverage at all for it. am i wrong in understanding that for the standard blood work that you must be consuming gluten on a regular...
  3. i'm so glad to see that you are an intelligent and well educated gal. i'm sure all of the words of caution here are merely because we all have had our experiences and wouldn't want to see ANYONE relive them, whether we know them or not. my ex would pick arguments with me, criticize me endlessly... follow me into the bathroom where i could never believe...
  4. i'm so glad to see you back here and posting. it's good to see you are fine. i know you may have your reasons to stay, but please, try to think about what this may do to your daughter down the road. none of us are in your position and i refuse to judge, but i know that in my own personal experience both with my father and with my ex that ANY amount of...
  5. really? cool, thanks. i had emailed them asking if that was possible. now to scrape up the cash. that's the hard part. not working to stay with bambino... maybe i know what to ask my folks for for christmas? nothin says love like stool samples! thanks for any info at all everyone... we are still so new to this.
  6. Hol-grain brown rice crackers... ever so lightly sea salted corrugated charred cardboard. there's not enough peanut butter in the world to cover that taste. poison in cardboard form. i love almost all glutino products, including their chocolate cookies that someone didn't like. they are so expensive but dreamy. i also like bob's red mill flour. ...
  7. my 15 month old son stopped really growing at all around the 6 to 8 month stage, suffered horrible GERD from 8 weeks of age on. no hair and lonnnnng eyelashes. doctors finally suggested celiac around 10 months and since being pulled from any trace of gluten, he has finally begun to grow again. i came to the msg board here looking for info and support for...
  8. thanks for that... i'll check. although those links are not for my province but it might give me some ideas. yes, it can be frustrating as my child is not disabled or anything, but needs the kind of care that i think only a parent one on one can provide... and he struggles each day to gain an ounce so even an occasional exposure to gluten could be disastrous...
  9. good for you for being such a conciencious mama! and an attatchment mom too... wow, awesome! i know that la leche league and kellymom often recommend avocado as an excellent first food as it is high in healthy fatty acids and easily digested. a really ripe avocado cut into very small bits or mashed is more nutritious than a banana or rice cereal. you...
  10. hi there lightning bolt. i'm new here and maybe it's not my place to say, but i never seem to be good at minding my tongue. when i was growing up, my father was emotionally manipulative and abusive. verbally, and occasionally physically. it got worse as i got older. sometimes it was only rage towards my mother and sometimes it was turned on me...
  11. oh that is so horrible and sad! i know what an armfull it can be and how little people will take you seriously sometimes. i was doing daycare in my home for my son and another little fellow and i couldn't get the other mother to understand that i could NOT have her bringing wheat into my home either. so hard to get them to GET it. here's a thought...
  12. wow. you could be describing my son. normal stools (for the most part) i.e. no loose stools... seems healthy enough but he went from being a smallish boy (25th percentile) to dropping off the charts. noone seemed to be concerned but my mama senses were tingling. after talking to one doctor, she mentioned the posability of celiac. i started researching...
  13. today i made cocolate chip cookies for the kids for the first time since diagnosis. these turned out so well i defy anyone to tell them apart. i experimented with the flour and here's what i used: -1 cup salted gluten-free margarine -1 1/2 cup granulated sugar (recipe called for one cup granulated, 1/2 cup brown but we were out of brown sugar) -2 eggs...
  14. I was just wondering if there are any financial breaks for parents who have to stay at home with their pre-school aged celiac children? my son is so sensitive and we live rurally enough that none of the local daycares would be able to accomodate him and his needs. the one daycare in our town actually serves wheat snacks for snacktime... so it's everywhere...
  15. hi there everyone, i'm a mom to a fantastic little boy who we believe has celiac... and now after dealing with his symptoms, i am beginning to believe that my daughter also has an issue with wheat. my son stopped gaining weight around 5 to 6 months old... right around the time that he started eating his first solids. he did not gain more than an ounce...
