ARCHIVED Tolerance?
HeatherMelissa replied to HeatherMelissa's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
She is on table food. But she eats the same five things day after day, literlly. (This is what made the ped check her iron levels which lead tot he Celiac testing). She is very sensitive to taste, texture etc. and refuses to try anything new (Maybe for fear that it will hurt her?) So, we are slowing phasing in variations of her food that is gluten-free ... -

The rest of the ingredients are simple, so I think I 'll just try to make it myself. THANK... -
OK, so my daughter was diagnosed Thrusday and I am feeling a little overwhelmed.......WHERE DO I START? She is such a picky eater that I am going to try to adapt some of the things she eats to gluten-free. Do I go on a major shopping spree (Lucky to have a Whole Foods literally around the corner)?? Do I buy cook books? Is it safe to go gluten...

Her blood tested positive tow out of three times, yet her endoscopy and colonoscopy came back looking great. The GI doc just retruned from a conference in Paris regarding celiac disease and feels confident...
