I am not an expert either, but my daughters belly looked just like that too. She was skinny everywhere else except the belly. In fact once we got her on the gluten free diet, she went down a size in clothes even though she weighed a pound more!

Thank you both! I have information printed out for both Emily's teacher, and the school nurse. Since her doctor has ordered that she uses the bathroom for 10 minutes after lunch each day, she will need to go to the school nurse to do this - they gave me a note, I figured I would get more cooperation that way. I have offered to supply playdoh for the...

A week and a half ago I called the school and ask if I could set up an appointment OR talk to the school nurse and my daughters teacher. I got the school principal and she asked me what my concerns were, she seemed a little put out by my call. I said that my daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiacs and I wanted to talk to them about some of my concerns...

I just bought some today, read the ingredients, but with the natural flavoring I'm not sure that it's safe for my daughter to eat or not. Does anyone know? It's made with chicken breast and ribmeat, enhanced with up to 15% chicken broth and natural flavoring (these are all of the ingredients listed), and it's distributed in Illinois. I just don't want...

Thanks!! We got the less expensive Breadman, and I will making a bread mix tonight, so hopefully this will be an edible mix, and she will have bread to eat tomorrow! I really want to be able to make her a sandwich, it would make life a little easier that's for sure! I went the route of buying a bread mix this time, rather than messing with all of the ingredients...

We want to get a new breadmaker since there is no way to really get all the flour out of the current one we have. But I keep reading about the breadmaker needing a special gluten-free setting - is that for the dough making process or the baking process or both. Because I plan to use mine only to make the dough, and then I'll bake it in the oven - I just...

Is it necessary to have a gluten free setting if you will only use the bread machine for the dough making and not the baking, I perfer to cook my bread in the oven, it is a better shaped loaf that way.

Thank you so much, I really need to find some way to print this thread, is that an option on here, I am looking but i can't find it. You have all given me some great suggestioins! And the chocolate chip cookies I made turned out delicious, they taste just like tollhouse with a different texture. I will post the recipe sometime over the next few days. ...

I just wanted to let you know that we just did this a week ago, last week on Monday in fact. The doctor, which by the way we saw for all of 5 minutes before the procedure for the first time, came out and talked to us afterwards and said everything went well and it all looked good. He also told me to call in 4 days for the results, I think he really thought...

I don't have anything to add to what Janet said, but just wanted to say 'thanks' to Janet, you gave me some good ideas too! We've not even been doing this for a whole week yet, so I'm too new to give advice in the area, but I sure will be checking out your thread to see what others say!!!

There seem to be so many experiences like this out there, I am thankful that we had good Gastro doctors that worked with us, our transition was so much easier. I hope that they are able to find out for sure this time so that he can know one way or the other. I don't know how they make those kind of mistakes, especially when you specifically ask for him...

Any bread recipes that you have for the bread machine I'd love to hear!! I am still debating weither to attempt bread without the bread machine or not. I have a recipe for white bread that came in the gluten free cookbook they gave me at the dietician appt, but it isn't for a bread machine. I need to buy a new bread machine if I do make bread that way...

Again, thank you so much!! I have taken a lot of notes from all of you!! We had our appt with the dietician yesterday, and that was very informative and helpful. We are going to join a support group that specializes in kids with Celiac. I learned a lot yesterday, we stopped at a Oriental Grocery store and bought rice flour both reg and sweet. I have...

Are Baked Lays potato chips gluten free? And what about the Baked Scoops? We eat those a lot in our house since I am on Weight Watchers, but my daughter was just recently diagnosed with Celiacs so I wanted to be sure she could have the Baked Lays products. Thanks!!!

Thank you for all your replies. I guess since my daughter was having the issues, I was more focused on dealing with her symptoms. But my son is so much like my BIL that has Celiacs when he was younger he was skinny just like Tyler, we'd joke that he could eat everything and not gain an ounce, Tyler is the same way. He's 11 1/2 and weighs 70, all of his...
