Unfortunately I think we do have to be pushy and make everybody aware and keep our eyes on them in publlic places. I found it really hard around the holidays because our family didn't get it yet and kept trying to give her stuff and plus she was reaching for things. dd is four so she understands now and is very good about telling people about her many allergies...

Wow, that sounds like a scary experience. I would recommend finding a doc that understands celiac's and won't make you try to test her, but could be supportive of you. My daughter was always under weight and never slept as an infant and even now at four wakes up once a night. Before we started gluten-free she was up two or three times. As an infant she slept...

Thanks for the input from all of you. Our hospital has gone through some major renovations in the last couple of years. It is a small community hospital that is growing quickly so unlike most hospitals it seems to have had money to maintain itself fairly well. Parts of the hospital are old and I am sure are not up to par. I wonder about the air quality system...

I was just thinking.... Some of you mentioned that you have environmental allergies. How do you go about figuring out what those are. I work for a hospital and most of the time I work out patient at schools and childcare centers, but about once a week I work inpatient. I am usually ill after working inpatient shortly after I get home or even before i leave...

The cream cheese frosting wasn't dairy free. This was the first time I had allowed dairy in several months becuase I want my dd gut to heal. She was experiencing symptoms that weren't going away so I cut out all the typical triggers. I never had a problem with dairy before this. I have only been experiencing this for a few months. This is gross, but when...

Hi Everyone, I need help and to vent! My stomach is killing me all the time. I ate a gluten free Namste spice cake with cream cheese frosting (homemade) last Tuesday and was horribly ill for 2 days. My stomach was finally feeling 100% Monday and Today I am having D again. The pains I was having last week were awful, sharp and stabbing. My massage therapist...

Thanks for the help, I just bought coriander this week for a pad thai recipe that meets all of are dietary restictions and I love cumin but haven't been using it after I ran out, don't know why. I will have to locate a wasabi that is free of all the crap we don't eat. Hubby has been eating it, but it's not oK for my dd. I think the nomato has soy in it,...

Hi, My family is gluten-free, soy free, casin free, legume free, and most unhappily nightshade free. Does anyone have any good substitues for tomatoes and most importantly spicy flavors like peppers. We used to eat hot food all the time and now are unsure what is ok and what to sub with. thanks for your help. Kristan

It must be tough having a father who doesn't understand your basic need for healthfulness. I have heard other people on this site state that it is a form of abuse to knowingly give a child who is intolerant, wheat. I wonder if dad has ever thought about that. Not that a discussion about abuse would make for peace between the parents, but come on, how could...

Hi Ali B, Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Your daughter is lucky to have a supportive mom. My mom is realizing that some of the symptoms my daughter has fit her and just got tested and started a gluten-free diet. Instead of educating herself she stops by my house for dinner! Which I love, but sometimes feel put upon since she's like " I have a meeting...

My daughter has had trouble holding her bowels during times of contamination. We started the gluten free diet in jan. She potty trained at 2 with little trouble, but about a month ago she was unable to make it to the toilet and was having accidents daily until I took other suspicious foods out of her diet and rechecked all of the gluten free stuff. after...

Holiday, I know what you are going through. The accidents for us take several weeks to days to resolve, but there is nothing more frustrating then cleaning up after an irritable child. They are frustrated we are frustrated, it just isn't a good time. My sympathies are with you.

Thanks for all the help, I will call the doc today. I am now debating which one, Naturo or MD. Probably it will end up with both either way I go. I didn't know the sknis of apples would cause D. I don't give them to her usually unless I buy organic. Her poop is a combo of floating and sinking, but it has been so watery that a lot of times she can...

Thanks for the input Rick Spiff, I really hope it is not the eggs, we bought 20 laying hens a week ago and getting about 10 eggs a day from them. hubby finished the new hen house this weekend so we can get a flock of meat birds. Yikes, this would be reaaly bad. She doesn't usually get any soda, unless she is feeling exta sneaky, which happens with this...
