Do you avoid fast food completely? Today we went to Burger King and I had NO idea what to get for my daughter. Burger King? McDonalds? Arbys? Wendys?

Thank you. She's only 2 and had some pretty severe allergies (including wheat, eggs, peanuts and soy) and although she was wheat free she didn't have complete relief from her symptoms. So I chose to do enterolab because of her age. She was 90% gluten free during about a 3 month time, but ended up eating some graham crackers and had a MASSIVE meltdown for...

I didn't do the gene panel, but I am pretty sure I should have. Here is what we DID do... Fecal Antigliadin IgA 59 (Normal Range <10 Units) Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 36 Units (Normal Range <10 Units) Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score 1436 Units (Normal Range <300 Units) I was really surprised how high...

We will be going to Disneyland with the family. DD has not been diagnosed w/ celiac, but has a severe wheat allergy, so she's treated the same way. I'd love to hear some ideas for gluten-free foods that travel well. We'll probably bring a lot with us and do some grocery shopping when we get there for things like cheese and lunch meat. I'll be taking a...

This is VERY interesting to me because DD has the SAME Thing. She was recently diagnosed as having a sever wheat allergy (via the RAST test) but I have not had her tested for celiac. I'm really wondering if I should. I see a LOT of food come through completely intact (including french fries as mentioned above) carrots, beans, and even wild rice. She...

wow that is some rash! Is is only on her trunk? Could it be from detergent? I have a friend who's child is allergic to detergents and would get rashes. Feel free t o ignore me

Thanks! They ran 2 tests I guess. The IGE which everything came back negative and the IGG where the allergies showed up. To tell you the truth, I'm not completely sure what it meant, and the allergist told me to avoid wheat "but it won't kill her if she gets it now and then" as well as the others "as much as possible" Who the heck knows what that...

Thanks I may save up for that enterolab test. It would ease my mind knowing if I need to avoid gluten entirely or not. DD wasn't hospitalized, my mother was when she was about 18 months old. DD hasn't ever been in the hospital except when she was born (6 weeks early) I'm actually finding that eggs are harder to avoid than wheat. BUT the allergist...

So after talking to my G-ma, apparently the celiac diagnosis for my mother was nothing more than watching her symptom- severe diarrhea. She was in the hospital for 5 days on IV's and such. But there was not biopsy, no blood test. This was 50 years ago so who the heck knows. I'm all paranoid though. I want to know if this is true celiac or if we are lucky...

It was the RAST test...does that make a difference? And her immediate responses were all negative. It was her delayed response that was a class IV.

I just found out that my own MOTHER was diagnosed with celiac as an infant but my grandmother said "she outgrew it". My mom stands barely 5 feet tall and 100 pounds and has been small her entire life. (Much like my own daughter). She has stomach problems that have been diagnosed as IBS, but I'm wondering if she really is celiac and didn't really outgrow...

I just wanted to introduce myself really quick. My name is Shandelle. I have a very very tiny 2 year old (well she'll be 2 on the 14th) who just hit 20 pounds and 30 inches a couple weeks ago. She's smart as a whip and has an attitude of a 16 year old and she's a blast. She has spent most of her 2 years sick with something or another. Mostly congestion,...
