Has anyone researched this at all? I use Wishbone Light salad dressings and the ingredients "seem" to be fine-but when I double checked on their website-the info was evasive. The Cecilia's book only has some of the Wishbone dressings listed? Can anyone help me on this? I would really appreciate it!

My husband and I just struggles with this exact decision ourselves. My dh has celiac and we decided to blood test both of our kids a year ago (though neither were showing any symptoms). One came back slightly elevated, the other negative. Our pediatric gi advised waiting and re-testing our slightly elevated child via blood 6 mos later. The results were slightly...

In addition to the previous suggestions...I would also add a colander and anything teflon or non-stick. Those surfaces are pourous and despite many cleanings I was unable to clean it enough. Hope this helps!

My 7 year old daughter was just diagnosed with celiac too! My husband has celiac so we have eaten quite a bit of gluten-free food over the years. When I told her that she needs to eats gluten-free like her dad she said-OK. That was it. She sees that he eats well-and she eats most of the same stuff too. It is a great idea to make the homemade lunch enviable...

Thank you all for your replies. It is good to know that even in "asymptomatic" cases there were improvements. We aren't going for the endoscopy for about two weeks-so I still have some time until we get actual results. Was it hard for your kids to accept the diet given that they weren't "really sick" (for those who were old enough to understand)? We basically...

My husband was dx with celiac about 6 yrs ago. He was completely fine and then all of a sudden had terrible stomach issues and lost almost 40 pounds over a few months. He never had the irritability that many people have described. Oddly enough-he does now! Whenever he ingests the slightest (and I mean slightest) amount of gluten he becomes a totally different...

My 7yo daughter is asymptomatic but has has two progressive blood tests with elevated EMA/iGa numbers. The ped GI is recommending she have an endoscopy to determine if she has celiac or not (my husband does). We randomly screened both kids and found slight elevations in my 7yo. I am wondering if anyone else has found out that they or their kids had celiac...

I think that in my case several people recommended getting an endoscopy as proof. Since we have no reason to suspect anything (any change in diet may only improve things internally) it would be hard to judge whether dietary changes are working. Before instituting a lifetime of changes for my daughter-should we have the "gold standard" proof? My pediatrician...

Denise61 Does your son have celiac? Or does he just have the markers for celiac? My daughter blood tested positive (slightly) but shows no other symptoms. She is and has always been 95 percentile for height. My ped contacted the pediatric gi (we have an appt in july) and said that further evaluation would be necessary. Did you do any additional bloodwork...

Thanks for all of your responses. As I suspected the B vitamins seem to be very important. My husband is going back to his gi doc, and can possibly be tested for vitamin deficiencies as well. I will check out some of the products listed too...

I don't know if you like the pretzel taste...I've breaded chicken tenders by first dipping in a mixture of honey mustard and a dash of milkf, and then into gluten-free pretzel crumbs (the sesame pretzels are great for this) and thne bake them. My kids love them =

Thanks for yor replies. The pediatric GI doc office said that they will do as little invasive testing as possible to gain a diagnosis. I am confident that we may be able to avoid an endoscopy in this case. What is strange is that our pediatrician (when giving me the results that my daughters blood test was positive) asked me if she eats gluten currently,...

I am new to this board...I recently had both of my children blood tested for celiac-and my older daughter (age 6) came back positive. She shows no signs or symptoms at all. My husband was dx with celiac about 5 years ago. My pediatrician recommended that we take our daughter to a pediatric GI doctor. Has anyone had similiar experiences? Did you have go through...

Has anyone found any help in relieving some of these symptoms with b vitamins? I have read that people with celiac are more likely to suffer from this type of vitamin deficiency with in and of itself can cause depressive symptoms. Does anyone have any experience with this? What b-vitamin supplements do you take? Thanks in advance!

My husband never suffered from depression and anxiety, until after he removed gluten from his diet. Whenever he accidentally is "glutened" he is absolutely unbearably miserable!! It is a hard thing to go through, and I saw the post on the green magma. I will check this out for him! This site is so helpful for dealing with all the stuff that goes along with...
