    children's hospital in Columbus Ohio has a great celiac program....

    there are many but I use digestive enzymes called DIgest Gold......I use several probiotics as one should switch brands occas.....And everyone has to find what works for them... I use Dr O'hirra's twelve point professional formula, align, pearls...floragen... Others have luck with other brands so I'm sure some will also tell...

    Hello & welcome... I guess you can out number the gluten eaters in your house so celiac wins!!!! You don't say what state you are from but it you would mention that it would help in guiding you to friendly restaurants & such.... There is a learning curve when beginning the gluten-free lifestyle.. I don't call...

    I agree with Ravenwoodglass.... Call around your area to try to find a doc who understands celiac.. A hard find but they are around... If you would post your area we could help you find a "special "doc.....Most still know next to nothing about celiac... and another thing I would check out is a thyroid panel done..(...

    I don't know your doctor but usually they do blood tests first then go for the scope... I guess it would be up to the doctor. blood tests are less invasive....

    You stated his girlfriend was a nurse & should know better..... My disagree was that the medical profession has come a distance but most still are in the dark about celiac or NCGS.... most never learned about celiac in med school or nursing school... I know hundreds of nurse's & most knew little or nothing about...

    good luck... just remember all this tip toeing around your ex is about your daughter.. ANd I know many many nurses who get dx'd with celiac & have no clue... so I'll have to disagree with you on that one...heck much of the medical profession have no idea about celiac & even less about NCGS..... You just take care of...

    if the test comes back negative she still could have NGCS....And at present t here is no test for that except the elimination diet....I would also get all the info I could find & shove it in his face & tell him to learn & read....I think he is just not wanting to realize she may have a problem......
  11. mamaw
    okay wasn't sure about that....As bad as a scope sounds its really not that bad... Our kid had one done at age 2 1/2..... can't help with an ex-husband!!! Could it be he is pushing your buttons ? You must do right by your daughter & her health is what is important here not his feelings.... so you may ...

    ARCHIVED Guilt

    mamaw replied to skelly247's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I think it is wonderful they consider your needs.... just as long as they understand what gluten is..... and if it truly bothers you just offer to prepare you own food & match it to what they are having for the party....

    If plastic utensils are scratched & can hold crumbs & such it could become a problem. Honestly most restaurants do not use plastic. that I have ever seen when being in their kitchen.. Many do use color coded utensils to be able to separate the wheat utensils from the gluten-free utensils...
  14. mamaw
    so her tests came back high even though she was not eating gluten???? If she is already off gluten a scope may NOT be of any help for a confirmation....You could do DNA testing but again that does not give confirmation of celiac either...

    ARCHIVED Whole Foods

    mamaw replied to quincy's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I would certainly check out the rot.chicken as not all rot. chik. is gluten-free....te only thing I'/we have eaten there is the chicken salad in a bowl.. We buy a bad of food for life gluten-free chips to dip ... I do know at our WF it is gluten-free....

    Do you have thyroid issues? I know many with thyroid issues that can't eat the cauliflower, spinach, broccoli, eggplant .....I love all fruits & veggies but many of them I must be careful.....
  17. mamaw
    some people are not very sensitive but for others that would be a disaster for their health.... There are schools for gluten free who wish to become chefs....flour can stay airborne for over four hours...High Schools make students take auto repair & cooking ( both genders) in our area... our kids being gluten-free...

    corrie I too have no functioning thyroid gland due to RAI...dead in the water, they can't even find any traces of a gland on my ultrasound.... I also too have Grave's.....I was on Synthyroid for years .. I got to the point where I couldn't function & got very ill... I demanded to be switched to a whole glandular ( 2 1/...

    Anyone can get glutened anywhere including Grandma's!!!!! You know your own family so I think you & you alone can be the judge on whether you would feel safe eating at another's home.... I have some family & friends that bend over backwards to make sure there's no gluten , others forget it , they don't care... I ...

    Also there could be a good chance of cross contamination issues here.... And I agree with other posters two isn't time to heal your body....another thought is you can be reacting to other foods now even though they may not contain gluten....Try digestive enzymes & probiotics as well....
  21. mamaw
    In my eleven years being a very strict celiac I have never been glutened by fresh veggies or fruit.........you can add cheese tray to that as well....
  22. mamaw
    count me in on loving digestive enzymes & probiotics... Honestly all celiac folks should use these two items....
  23. mamaw
    Does anyone know of a specific brand that has these specific strains of the probiotic mention in this article? I take several name brands and alternate them... thanks

    aroma dough is gluten-free;;;;;; soy yer dough (modeling clay) is gluten-free.... There are many others.... The adventures of a gluten free mom blog has a review of gluten-free play doughs.... I tried to copy & paste but it wouldn't let me.... If she is school age please make contact with the school in regards to celiac...

    Breton crackers are very yummy but do contain soy which is not good for me.... The closest cracker out there to a saltine is Galbusera.. zero grano., they come from Italy & are packaged in 4 crackers to a wrapper with 12 twelve wrappers in a package....the only thing is they are not salty like a salted saltine... but again...
