    It does SEEM like there are a lot of products that are gluten-free. I didn't pay attention to my toiletries at first. Then I bought a new shampoo because I loved the smell of it. I was so excited to use it. After a few uses I started to notice that my scalp was really itchy. I finally took the time to sit down with the bottle and read the 50 ingredients...

    My son has had a rash around his mouth for the last 6 weeks or so. I finally realized that it must be his toothpaste. He is using a gluten-free toothpaste, Aquafresh Kids, but maybe it is the sodium laurel sulfate. This has been driving me crazy. I was wondering if it was something he was exposed to at school. I hope it is the toothpaste because that...

    I completely understand your frustration. It is a possibility that this teacher really does not understand the part about how one microscopic gluten molecule can make a child sick. It is hard to get people to understand this when most doctors don't even acknowledge this or even know anything about celiac. I love my son's pediatrician but she is virtually...

    Please don't get too discouraged by this, but it could take 6 months to a year for the diarrhea to stop or even longer if there is somehow gluten exposure you are unaware of. I was very careful about my son's diet and could not understand why he wasn't improving faster once going completely gluten-free. However, he continued to have loose stools and still...

    So glad you mentioned Rice Dream. I am so mad at them I could scream. They say Gluten-Free on the label but will admit on the phone that they do use barley in the processing even though its not on the label. I thought this product was save and fed it to my Celiac son for over a year. When I finally got them on the phone after seeing a post on this forum...

    I had dark circles under my eyes as a child. I never understood why but was always self-conscious about it. I did not get my Celiac diagnosis until age 39. But now, at 40, no more dark circles. This is not a proper way to diagnose I'm sure, but just thought I would share my own experience with you. Sometimes the symptoms are so subtle that no one notices...

    Hi Geoff, Have you had other allergy testing done for foods other than gluten? The reason I am asking is because when I was searching for a diagnosis for myself, I had a lot of testing done. I had tried a lot of different diets hoping to alleviate chronic fatigue and brain fog symptoms. I had a 200 food allergy test done and the results were shocking...

    Thanks everyone for your responses! Yes, he does drink Rice Dream. I had heard that they weren't using the barley anymore, but I will investigate further! It is good to know that there are others with similar challenges. Its hard for me to not blame myself, but I honestly just don't know for sure what the problem is and everything I try doesn't seem...

    Most definitely this pain can be due to celiac. I now know my lifelong pain was due to celiac disease. It also led to a severe case of fibromyalgia. I was able to control the fibromyalgia by reprogramming my body to deal with stress differently, but continued to suffer from chronic fatigue and other celiac symptoms over the years. I seriously doubt these...

    Wow--this story really sound familiar. 1. My son starting having problems with a stomach bug too. He had horrible watery diarrhea for 3 weeks straight. It was so acidic and his rash was so horrible that I had him lying on a towel with no diaper because he had open sores that would not heal. He was only 8 months. After that his poop has never been...

    Actually I think bananas are definitely creating a problem. It is the one food that makes a noticeable difference. As for his general diet, he eats fruit, meat, rice, rice milk, vegetables, potatoes. I do not give him processed foods like crackers unless they say they are gluten free. He does not eat soy or corn and only occasionally some cheese and...

    I have had my 2.5 year old on a strict gluten-free diet for 8 months. He has taken many different strains of probiotics during this time. Occasionally he will have a formed stool, but most of the time it is not what anyone would consider normal. It is sometimes very acidic and gives him a bad rash. Most of the acidity has subsided, but he doesn't seem...
