    Aw ... thanks! It means a lot to talk to other parents! Dr. said 2 months should be long enough to get a result on biopsy ... I thought it was 6 months.

    Thanks everyone. We decided to try it one more time since he recovered within a few hours and we wanted to make sure it wasn't just nerves. So far, he's handled it perfectly fine. I'm so uncomfortable doing this test with him but I feel like I should for his sake. I mean I guess he has a right to a normal life ... it's just after 3 years of gluten-free...

    Never got a definitive celiac answer ... 6 yr old has been gluten-free for almost 3 years now. Along with his GI, we decided to test him out on gluten for 2 months and then do blood work and scope him. He had a gluten lunch for the 1st time in almost 3 years. Two hours later, vomited for almost 2 hours. Now has tummy ache but not nauseated anymore. Dr. thought...

    Well, I guess we won't make it the 2 months. 2 hours after he ate his first meal of gluten, he was throwing up.

    I totally agree with you. We plan on staying gluten free regardless of what the rest says. It's more to see if he will test + for it. If he does, then that will give us a different perspective on whether or not he has the Crohn's too (which is rare to have both ... 1 in 150,000) ... not sure if any of this makes sense. I was just curious if 2 months would...

    Hi! My son's GI ( a new one) wants to test for Celiac again since he was never tested besides during his colonoscopy ... but tests were inconclusive. He does test + genetically (my husband has it) BUT he also has Crohn's disease. So, Dr. really wants to make a definitive testing during his next scope in October. He wants me to give my son (6) gluten for the...

    Thanks guys! If it were just me and the hubby, that'd be easy! But I have a 6 and 2 year old, both, who will need to be fed more than a salad after a long day of playing at the beach. Eating at places that are gluten-free are much pricier than the usual places ... so that's a factor, too. I'd just like to be able to deal with it emotionally and just move...

    Hi! Both my husband and son were diagnosed with Celiac disease almost 3 years ago. Since then, our house has been gluten-free. I haven't personally touched gluten since the dx either. I feel like I'm having such a HUGE struggle with the emotional issues from the disease. I feel sorry for us and I know that's not healthy. I get angry and frustrated with...

    Yes, I could NOT agree more with you. If I didn't have such a picky eater, all these ideas would work due to the fact that I've actually tried all of them before. He also has Crohn's disease, so he has eating issues all together ... doesn't like to eat very much, extremely picky, etc. He's suffered w/ tummy pain for a few years ... it's finally getting a...

    I've been thinking of starting my 5 year old on Juice Plus to gear up for flu season -- any added fruits and veggies in his diet are a good thing ... doesn't eat many veggies!!! THey said they test their product regularly and are always below the FDA limit of 20 parts per million, so they're labeled gluten-free. My question ... I'm not familiar with all the...

    Is this stuff gluten-free? I know it's not healthy but someone gave me a box of it and I'd rather use it than throw it away BUT only if it's safe. Anyone know?
  12. Ladycates
    The last one I can find is from 2006.

    Thank you so much for passing this information onto me!

    Thank you! I'll give the neutrogena a shot!

    Hi! What gluten-free sunblock do you use for your kids? I have California Baby right now but it's so expensive. $12 for a small thing of it! I'd like a cheaper alternative to keep in my diaper bag!

    Does Avon have a current gluten-free list? I'm looking for a skin care system. Wash, toner, cream, eye cream, etc. I've been using the Arbonne Intelligence system but the actual wash isn't on their gluten-free list, just the toner & creams are. (I saw on Delphi, their list of Avon products- there were TONS TONS TONS- could this be true? Even their...

    Hi! Myself & my Celiac 4 year old son both have strep... icky, sore tummies & want some quick soup. I can't get up & cook all afternoon. Are there any store bough- gluten free (dairy free would be great, too) canned soups? Campbells? Progresso? ANYTHING?!?!!! Thanks!
  18. Ladycates
    I see that a lot of Celiac patients are obviously GLUTEN free but now I see that a lot of people are CASEIN free. Is that the norm? We're pretty new to this and I obviously want to do what's healthiest/best for my family.

    The only A.R.B.ONNE stuff that is gluten free is their diaper rash cream and their baby oil, everything else contains a gluten ingredient. California Baby is greeat!! I also use "Earth Mama, Angel Baby" because is smells amazing and is so wonderful to use. The soap is a nice foam with a pump dispenser! Love it on my new little babe!

    I want to be able to kiss my son without worrying about whether or not my lipstick has gluten in it. Does anyone know of any gluten free lipsticks out there?
  21. Ladycates
    Thank you and NO, you're not out of line. I plan on nursing this baby (as I did my son for 2.5 years) & I plan on being gluten free, as well. Our whole house is gluten free right now & I plan on it staying that way. I have no intentions on giving this newborn any gluten. I did read however, that at 1 year old we should give the baby gluten for 6...

    My son & husband were just diagnosed with Celiacs a few weeks ago. I'm reading & learning but having to do so in a hurry... I'm pregnant and due in a week. I have no energy & need to send loved ones to the stores for me. I just have a few questions that I was hoping someone could help me with. I'm great at doing research but I'm sure you know...

    My 3 year old son & hubby were just diagnosed a few weeks ago with Celiacs... so I'm just starting out. I wanted to make some fudge & saw all the great recipes in the post a few below mine... but I was curious if all the chocolate chips that I can get at the store are gluten free? nestle? Same with the marshmallows & the marshmallow creme? Thanks...
  24. Ladycates
    Are all of these ingredients gluten free? The marshmallow creme & nestle chocolate chips are OK? I'm REALLY new to this & wanted to make some fudge today but most manufacturers are closed for me to call. Let me know! Thank you! :-)
