  1. There are a lot of schools that follow the new wellness policy in regards to snacks/food in class. Our school will only allow one treat per party, all other food items have to be "healthy". Usually the kids end up with fruit trays and veggie trays with dips. Have you considered being the room parent for your childs class, then you pretty much are in control...
  2. Hi, just reading some of this........its been months since I was on this website. My now 3 year old had the biopsy and it was not bad at all. I am glad we did that because this gluten free diet can be hard at times and I have confirmation with the biopsy and will just keep moving forward gluten free. Also, my husband tested positive....good luck at your...
  3. I found Little Einsteins at Walmart (in Ohio) recently and called General Mills regarding food allergies. Good news was they were okay for him to eat (yahoo a cereal that does not cost $6.00 and hopefully he would actually eat it)! Bad news was they are no longer making this cereal (I think she said they still make the Dora one). But, I did pick up a box...
  4. Hi, I noticed you have a child you say as not showing signs of celiac yet. Has she been tested and if so how often do you have the test repeated? My 6 year old tested negative with the blood test, but has some of the issues I've read on this site, none of which are digestion related, but they are things I do not know the cause of and I have this fear he...
  5. I've just read more postings on this site and there is so much info, I really never thought about cc with plastic bowls/plates. I currently use the same for my 3 kids and only one is gluten-free. I thought I was being so careful. I wash everything in the dishwasher, but it does make sense that if the plastic is scratched, why take a chance? I worry about...
  6. I tried making a safe list and a no no list. It seemed to get out of hand. I even ordered that $30.00 binder from the celiac website, which did not help all that much. I pretty much ended up banning everything and starting from scratch. I call companies all the time to see if their product is gluten-free. A lot of them are happy to send me a list, but...
  7. Hey, awesome picture you have there! You should enter in a contest or get a big 8x10 of that one. Thanks for the idea!!!! This helps get my mind off FOOD!
  8. I have to agree totally. Food allergies and celiac are both subject to invasive tests and for good reason. In my eyes it is totally nonsense to eliminate a food from a child's diet unless medically necessary either by testing with a doc or parent's choice. It seems a lot of people do not have $ for hospital procedures or office visits let alone the cost...
  9. It is comforting to hear that there are so many others in the same boat as myself. I really feel that having to make so many diet modifications and restrictions for my little one is so well worth it because of how well he is doing now and of course for his safety. My biggie is the social aspect of all of this. I have no problem making his food from scratch...
  10. my son is 2 1/2 and allergic to milk, eggs and peanuts so far also he has celiac. His milk allergy was diag whan he was an infant (blood in stool). His egg allergy at about 16 months we gave him 2 bites of a scrambled egg and he was one big hive (called 911 on that one) started carrying the epi pen at that point/ not long after that he started with the...
  11. anyone know of childrens flouride vitamins for people who have well water that is gluten-free???
  12. Hi, just wondering if you had any suggestions for dealing with your childs peanut allergy. My son (2.5) also has peanut, milk and egg allergy. The peanut allergy is sooo worrisome to me. He also has celiac. We found out he was allergic to peanuts after I ate pb on toast and kissed him= hives and swollen eyes/he was then blood tested for this allergy....
  13. Hi, anyone have children with celiac and food allergies. It seems I only find one or the other. Managing both sometimes seems so overwhelming. The food allergies make me so anxious in regards to going out in public, like even to the library.
  14. Hello, my 2 year old had a rash on his face/mouth for over a year before being diag with celiac disease. my ped told me it was from his binky/after starting his gluten-free diet we have yet to have the rash come back/and we did give up binky with no results before that. He does also have food allergies, but would get hives from eating the food he is allergic...
  15. Hi, I have a 2 year old 7 months out from celiac diag and at that time had the whole fam tested. My husband was postive and almost fell off his chair. I wonder about my 6 year old who was neg, but the more I read and found out about celiac disease the more I seem to attribute any stomach or eating problems with this. I will get him tested again, but as...
