I agree with everyone else, you should definitely have her tested for Celiac. We did the blood test and endoscopy and I am glad I did as they have been following her blood levels to monitor her gluten free diet. My daughter had the stomach pains and vomiting prior to going gluten free. She would have hours of sharp stomach pains and then vomit several...

I know how you feel,it is very upsetting. My daughter is also 9 and we have been gluten free since January. After we started the gluten free diet everything was improving and then she began having increased symptoms of reflux, heatburn, indigestion and since she is also diabetic her blood sugars were haywire. I did find out that until the small intestine...

I use the gummy vites (Says gluten free on bottle), vitamin water (read the lable they have different vitamins per flavor and does seem limited), also I use pasta made with quinoa which is very nutritional. My daughter does eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, but it is still difficult sometimes. I have melted cheese on the brocolli and this has helped...

You questioned dish detergent. I changed dish detergents a few weeks ago to an environmentally friendly dish soap and it made my daughter very sick. After several weeks of her being sick I looked at the ingredients and the second ingredient is plant-basedd cleaning agents. I called the company, they took my information and promised to get back to me. ...

I am new to the gluten free diet, 8 months now, but I was wondering if maybe it had anything to do with vitamins. My dietician, I met with her at my daughter's first diagnosis and knew more about the gluten free diet than she did, but she did tell me that it is very important to make sure my daughter gets her vitamins. One because at the beginning she has...

Just remember "out of sight - out of mind" He is only 2 and if he doesn't see it or hear about it, he will forget about it. At least until he is around other kids at school, etc. and hopefully by then he will be adjusted.

I don't know if this will help or not, but when my daughter had her endoscopy they found out the celiac caused gastropareisis. It takes longer for her to digest her food. Before we went gluten free every so often she would wake in the middle of the night with excruciating stomach pains that lasted for a few hours and then she would vomit and be fine. Once...

My daughter has diabetes as well as celiac. I would never trust our cafeteria and it is wonderful that you can. When I pack Amy's lunch I put an index card listing all the things in her lunch box and the carb count for each item. The nurse then reviews what she ate and calculates the total. Example: If she only eats half her sandwich she only add half...

Thank you! My daughter saw that I bought a jar and insisted she have it for school lunch tomorrow. Luckily I bought two jars so now I won't have to worry about cross contamination.

Does anyone know if Smucker's Goober Grape is gluten free. I called the company and listened to the allergy recording and I am still unsure. They said they would list wheat in the product ingredient list, which it does not have, but does this mean it is gluten free?

I don't know how long it has been since she was tested but it took awhile for me to have my daughter diagnosed. She was diagnosed with diabetes when she was 5. At that time she kept complaining of stomach aches and the doctors wrote it off to sugarfree products. A little over a year later she began to have seizures with no explanation as to why. I stopped...

I am concerned about the school supplies and also the soaps they use. I switched dish detergent a few weeks ago (buying an environmentally safe dish detergent) and my daughter began to have alot of problems. I didn't think to check the ingredients, but it had plant derived cleaning agents and after doing research found out they put wheat germ oil in the...
