    My daughter had me concerned at first with this very issue. She gained weight so fast and grew like a weed. I was especially keeping an eye on it as she wasn't really small to begin with. I have found this slowed down after she had been gluten free for a full year; she is the same size as her peers now. Like you, I was very hesitant to take away any...

    I also give my daughter Omega 3s with breakfast everyday. Our doctor suggested it to help with her moodiness.

    I would suggest joining your local celiac chapter if you have one. We went to an introductory meeting where they had binders with labels of gluten free foods and we were given a small book with lists of safe and unsafe ingredients. Its also a good place to talk to others that are doing the diet and find out where to shop and any other tips they may have...

    Ok, these previous posters are way more motivated then I usually am. My quicky don't want to cook meals include meat (usually steak or pork chops), slather them with BBQ sauce and throw them on the BBQ. A baked potato cooked in the microwave and some veggies in a pot. An added bonus is the only dish to wash is the pot the vegtables cooked in (I throw...

    I don't buy Christie's as they are made in a facility with the other wheat containing crackers. I have found quite a few other brands that actually say Gluten Free and I purchase those instead.

    My daughter likes the rice crackers, the come in quite a few flavours. I also just bought a box of multi-grain gluten free crackers at Costco that are pretty good.

    We chose to do an endoscopy for our daughter. The procedure itself was simple with no lasting effects. Knowing that we had a confirmed diagnosis made the process of dealing with family members and her school much easier. If your daughter is not showing any overt symptoms, I would think that a definitive diagnosis would be even more important. If she...

    One thing to consider with the endoscopy, your doctor may be looking for other things besides just celiac disease, especially in light of your other food issues. I would confirm exactly what they might be considering before turning down the endoscopy. Good luck and hope it goes well for you.

    It sounds like it is the oats. We had tried our daughter on the certified gluten free oats and her reaction was worse than her typical gluten reaction.

    Congratulations, glad to hear she is already starting to feel better!

    Hi, Our daughter's experience with the biopsy was that it was basically a piece of cake. Her's was done in our city's children's hospital and we went home the same day. The hospital had us come in for a group session a week before her procedure. They had all the parents off to one side of the room filling out all the paperwork, while the kids were...

    Wow, lets hope this is something that is expanded across North America.

    Safeway's chickens up in Canada are gluten free. The national deli manager checked with their supplier of the spices and these were gluten free. The deli manager at the Sobey's where we shop said that thiers did contain gluten.

    I remember feeling the same panic that you are right now. Hang in there, it does get much easier. I would start with fruits, vegetables, meat (plain) - these are all naturally gluten free. Then you can add in some products specifically marked gluten free. I found that at first I did most of my shopping at the health food stores in our area. They tend...

    Hi, my daughter had an endoscopy to confirm her diagnosis when she was 7. We felt that having a definitive diagnosis would be important as she gets older. There is no questioning a positive biopsy and hopefully this will be a tool to keep her gluten free as she gets into her teens and may want to cheat on the diet. A confirmed diagnosis also gives us a...

    Most kinds are gluten free, but no-name brands tend to sneak wheat in.

    Thanks for pointing this out. I just noticed that my daughter hasn't had many nose bleeds in the past year that she has been gluten free. She used to get them all the time.
  18. Rondar2001
    It could be seeing as there looks like there is a family history. Before you take her off gluten, I would bring her in for at least the blood tests, if not a biopsy too. A diagnosis could be essential to keeping her following the diet if her only symptom is gas. It would also help the people around her to make sure she is being kept gluten free.

    I had a couple burst when I was in college. After the first one I ended up in an ambulance because the pain was so sudden and severe. The pain passed in about 4 hours. I didn't have any pain or warning that I had any cysts before they burst. If you have steady ongoing pain, I would have your doctor keep investigating.

    Thanks for sharing your wonderful story. He's definitely a keeper!

    Great article. This would be good to pass on to family members that want to learn a little more. My only wish would be that it is updated with the information learned in the past 13 years. Thanks for sharing!
  22. Rondar2001
    Great idea, I would hate to see someone doing something positive put down because of a reporter that doesn't have a clue.

    So I opened my home page this morning and imagine my delight when there was a link to the following article front and centre. Open Original Shared Link

    I think doctors are starting to improve. We have one of the city's top pediatricians for my daughter and he admitted to us when she was being tested, that even 2 years before that he never would have thought to test her for Celiac. At her last appointment I mentioned that my tip off that she has been glutened is her sleep walking, he replied that he found...

    I would send her to a dentist that specializes in kids. Try checking with your own dentist for any recommendations.
