I recently overlooked hair spray. It had wheat starch. Look at his personal care products carefully. He is 16? Does he get "duded" up with cologne and after shave for the ladies? Check his products.

Also, just a thought........My DD was 2 when diaged, she won't know any different and know what she is missing, unlike your daughter who ate gluten all her life. If she is in school all day, and doesn't "react bad" to gluten initially ( only internally), are you sure she is not snacking in school or getting sweets/treats from friends? She is just a kid...

Honeypond, We are also going through something, not sure what. DD was diaged in MAY. we are 100% gluten free ( father in law has had the disease long term, so we understood it right away). Her poos were solid, nicely formed from June-DEcember. She has had runny poos for the past month. Going to peid GI today. I suspect 1 of 2 things. I don't think...

You said he doesn't drink milk? Doesn't drink it, or can't tolerate it? If he just doesn't drink it, I would do what I needed to do to get him on milk. It's calories, fat, vitamins, etc.....and seems like a healthier way to go on his teeth than the Koolaid, and when we were struggling to get my daughter's bowels under control, we were told to aviod the...

Check everything everywhere. We just realized our Suave hairspray has wheat and wheat starch. That stuff goes airborn, not good. I threw it out. I wasn't even THINKING about hairspray. And spray starch, and bubble bath. It's in everything. Those wheat farmers really marketed their product well........

Me too, but just because I don't want to have a heart attack. that stuff is nasty. We just order it plain and don't have them add the squirts of that stuff they call buttery topping.

That's what I am doing. My 3yo DD tested positive to the the Ig tests, we had a month between that and Ped GI> Out of desperation, I hit my limit one day, after huge temper tantrums, and runny stolls for a year and just took her off gluten. It was an amazing recovery. My father in law has celiac disease, and I am almost 100% certain it is what she...

I'm sure every kid is different, we had Diag in May 2008 on my then 2 year old, that WEEK she slept through the night without waking up sceaming for the first time in a year, and has slept through each night since. That WEEK her temper/disposition switched like someone flipped a switch. It took about a month to get the runny bowels under control. My...

Thanks for the info......GLUTEN FREE MARKET.......that crash is me falling off my chair. Man oh man are you lucky!

this is a HORRIBLE epidemic in America....I have friends who teach and are facing impossible situations, every child on ineffective ADD drugs, with non-vigilant and uninformed parents who don't care much, and all the while, living on nearly complete fast food and junk food diets......and the sad thing is, not only will parents/authorities not listen to us...

Your school psychologist, when reporting their findings usually suggests to parents if they see behaviors that may warrent a trip to the Docs office, I would talk to them to see if you can get them onboard about educating parents. Educating, not recommending. I am a Guidance Counselor, I tell my own personal story and show bite marks. I don't tell parents...

I'm a farmers daughter and my father NEVER grew wheat, so please ask. We gres Alfalfa, and all hay was made with that. A dairy farm may not have any wheat at all growing there, but a crop farm is totally different story.

OMG....there's gluten-free ravioli and stuffed shells? where does everyone get them? I haven't see the chocolate dipped donuts either?

I am relatively new to celiac disease, my 3year old daughter was diaged last May. I have been trying new products left and right, some good, some bad, some ugly. So, let's save everyone time and money, please rave about some of your fave gluten free products ( not recipies, I can tweak and play), actual products that you buy that are yummy and save time...

I don't understand how a medical professional made a Diag of " a mild case" You either have it or you don't? It's all or nothing with celiac disease, unless you are gluten intolerant, that is different? I think they meant you have it, it just wan't yet at a level where it was doing as much damage as it could, right?
