    All seemed to go well. Glad it's over. I can call Monday for the results.

    I have the same problem with my husband's parents and his 7 brothers and sisters who all are married and with children and bringing food to the parties. It took the last 5 years and an ultimatum for them to accept the peanut allergy, and now we are learning of my son's celiac diagnosis. This should be fun, especially with the worst sister who is an emotional...

    My son is getting his tomorrow morning. I can't wait until it's over. I hate doing this to him. I could see if he needed emergency surgery. But he doesn't. I'm not sure why a blood test now and then a blood test in 3 months isn't indication enough. Are they looking for something other than the villi? How often is the endoscopy inconclusive? Sorry...

    Also, certain medications can turn a personality "flat". There are other mood disorders as well. Good Luck.

    Hi- Sometimes, people go fishing in the wrong place, trying to link one disorder to another when they are in no way related. This happened to me once, when I was trying to diagnose myself. I was having two differnet symptoms, and I thought the symptoms were related. Well, they weren't. I was suffering from two distinctly different things and each symptom...

    Thank you. These are all great suggestions. I was actually contemplating the taco bar.

    My son's birthday is coming up and he is in the process of being diagnosed with celiac. If he is to switch diets before his birthday, can anyone help me with ideas? It's coming upin a few weeks and my husband has a huge family and I will need to feed a lot of people. There will be about 15 kids and about 25-30 adults. What do you guys do? Thanks in...

    Yankee, I was going to say the same thing. Sounds like diabetes, which is linked with celiac.

    kvogt, please don't take my post the wrong way. It's only meant to show another perspective. It is wrong for a church to force a wheat wafer on gluten intolerant people when they don't have to do that. The Bible does not force them to offer wheat only.
  10. Sharon C.
    Yes, exactly. CHURCH authority. What about the authority of Jesus, or of God? Would they appreciate the Catholic church taking on some kind of authority over the bread? Catholic Church demands you to choose between their tradtions and the Bible. Only, you don't need the church or their doctrines to be saved. So you're eating that gluten wafer in vain...

    My understanding is that mono and di's are safe in the USA but can't be trusted from another country. I read that somewhere, but can't remember where.
  12. Sharon C.
    I actually thought about contacting some manufacturers to see if they were interested in closing down their equipment, washing it down, producing a certain amount of the same product but gluten free and releasing it to the public, then going back to their regular stuff and supporting a gluten free line of mainstream stuff. Maybe have a schedule to produce...

    Hi- My son has had an IQ test that said he was average and a little above average in certain areas, but his reading was low. According to the test, he should not have trouble grasping things in school, but he does. He is just now being diagnosed with Celiac, and is scheduled for an Endo for next week. He is very thin, has had slow bone growth, and...

    It is a Catholic doctrine, and NOT the Bible, that is dictating the course of action for gluten in the wafer. The Catholic religion does interpret scripture, but from it they changed, added, and subtracted, and created their own doctrines (The Catechism) in which they operate from. It is not God's will, but the will of mere men, that have you eating gluten...

    I'm going through all of this right now. My son is making his communion this year, however, I have removed myself from Catholiscm and he's making it to keep my husband and his family happy. I have no idea what will happen in April when he is supposed to make it. I am a former Catholic myself.

    Hi- My son is in the process of being diagnosed. I am grieving for him as well. I have vowed to learn how to make all the foods he might miss, in a new safe way. Don't long for things- try to satisfy yourself with a gluten free pizza, etc. Best wishes. Sharon
  17. Sharon C.
    That's the only thing I feel good about, that they will be healthier without that stuff. It's hard for him because he's already 8, already has his "favorite" foods, and I feel if this had happened in preschool it would have been easier to transition him. Even things like ordering a pizza will be something he can't share when company is over and someone...
  18. Sharon C.
    Wow, Joanna, thank you. That's what I'm going through right now- the grief stage. I am imaging my son and how his life will be from now on, and missing the simplicity of the old life and how he was able to partake in the foods that other children do on trips and for parties. I've been feeling down and out, finding myself teary-eyed as I drive, just "in...

    While he's having a beer, why not have a glass of wine? I'm new, too, so please explain why this would not be possible.
  20. Sharon C.
    I am really sorry to hear what you are going through. My son has always just had a peanut allergy, and recently he was positive for an initial screening for gluten intolerence. I'm sorry, I don't have much advice, just compassion and a hope that things get better for you and your child. Sharon
  21. Sharon C.
    I also feel resentment at the years that went by while the doctors told me he was fine. I remember he was about three when I first became concerned with how much thinner he was than other children. He will be 8 in November, and has only just recently gotten attention from a doctor. And I have to WAIT now until October 5th to see the gastro. I feel like...

    From what I understand, the endoscopy can be inconclusive also.
  23. Sharon C.
    Thanks, that worked!

    I'm trying to register on the Mac site, and it's asking me if this is my first Macintosh computer, and what am I going to use the computer for- home or business. Am I at the correct website? I'm getting a funny feeling I'm at the wrong Mac website.
  25. Sharon C.
    Hi Ruth- For some reason, when I click on the mac link, I'm taken to a page where I'm told that the page does not exist. Is there a typo in the link? Thanks- Sharon
