    You poor thing! I read your list of ailments! And I complain about GLUTEN INTOLERANCE!!! Forgive my ignorance, but what do you eat?

    Our health food store has several versions, most are great! Also try the gluten-free section at Lame Advertisement. I am sure you will find a gluten-free cereal that sounds good to you, there are MANY. Also, do a search on gluten-free grocery guide. There are two different ones I know of. I think I bought mine at a place called triumph dining. It really...

    Has anyone ever gotten swelling, hives, and bright red cheeks as a reaction to gluten? We are a gluten-free household, but I accidentally bought one jar of gluten containing baby food for my nine month old. I still don't know how that happened! Anyway, she broke out in hives, her face swelled up, and her cheeks are BRIGHT red. My older daughter and I...

    The only problem with not getting a biopsy is that it is harder to get a DR's note. If your Dr is willing to give you one without the biopsy, no problem. You need that Dr note though for both the insurance and school. I made the mistake of going on gluten-free diet before diagnosis, now the insurance won't cover the extra yearly tests and no GI Dr will...

    He needs nutrition, not just calories. Try making some gluten-free bread and spreading humus on it. If he is not kean on garlic, you can add just about any flavor to it and it has a great texture. It has loads of good fat and some nutrition. Also what about spaghetti? I believe Tinkyada is egg free...Some people don't realize that you can finely chop...

    It is scary...Ask if you can go with her just to educate yourself on what to feed him and what-not when you have him and to be of support to his MOM. It could take longer for him to feel better just because he had so much going on with his system...Also, when we first started, I couldn't count how many things I thought would be safe because I did not know...

    The only way gluten-free diet really works is to go completely....Even if you give her gluten and she shows no signs, she could still have an increase in inflammation, setting the stage for diseases later in life. What foods is she missing? Maybe I can help with brands that taste good and recipes...some brands just taste awful... Also, are you feeding her...

    If possible, I would really try to keep her on a gluten diet for now and then have your pediatrician refer you to a pediatric GI Doc to have the appropriate tests run. Here's why....We (my daughter and I) went on gluten-free diet because of a roommate who neither her nor her kids could have gluten. It was easier for her kids. I saw MAJOR improvements on...

    You know, all the statistics in the world couldn't help you right now, because they are still just slightly educated guesses. This is still very new as far as accurate research in the medical community. Every expert and doctor seems to say something a little bit different. The proof is in the pudding. I never got a positive diagnosis; however, when I...

    Now that you have healed, sometimes your body can handle a little hear and there without giving you too noticeable of symptoms. If there is anything else your body may be fighting off or it is just having a bad day, they could be more noticeable. however, all of my reading has also implied that even in the smallest of amounts with little or no reaction...

    I am currently working on articles to be submitted to magazines who target readers anywhere from 8-18 years of age. I wanted to know what other celiac moms would like their child to read about-in regards to common issues facing them in their age group and tough social situations. This can also include in the home as well as out of the home. In the home...

    I would definately recommend that. All my tests came back negative; however, I had been going to Dr's for years trying to find out what was wrong....When I went on gluten-free diet, not only stomache pains and digestive problems disappeared, but also my migraines (I was getting them 1-2 times per week) and unexplained seizures I had been getting for a couple...

    I AM SURPRISED by the responses! I have no problem bringing my own food into a restaurant. You can not send it back to the kitchen, of course! A few restaurants will only let you do it if you order something (even with the allergy. I have sometimes ordered a side salad and brought my own dressing for it. Or you can order a side that only costs a dollar...

    I think this is more than touching or not touching food! It is really about respect! Not only is your husband not showing respect to your daughter, but he is not showing this to you either. He is acting like a rebellious teen trying to get attention and see how far he can push his boundaries! I would show him some major boundaries, demand respect, and...
