    I highly doubt there would be gluten in an eye drop. Sounds like an allergic reaction. Even if it had gluten, it wouldn't be a Celiac reaction if it isn't in your intestines.

    Going back and looking at the original post - it appears that the school has no real reason to be extra careful with this child. The parents have not done any of the things needed to insure the school protect the child. Teachers/ schools can't be expected to cater to, or even remember,every parents' whims. If there is an actual medical need for an accomadation...

    Yeah.... It's really annoying when someone finds a new product that is good and tells us about it.

    I think its the same company : Open Original Shared Link

    Of course the world doesn't revolve around him! The other kids should be allowed to do the project. But he is only 5! How is he to know what an ice cream cone is made of? Do they hand him the box & tell him to decide if its gluten-free or not? My boys couldn't even read at that age! Maybe he knows the ice cream cone he has at home is OK, so these...

    I have seen these. Probably wouldn't go over as a pasta replacement at my house. But I bet it would be good with a spicy veggie stir-fry. Hub is always wanted those rice noodles instead of actual rice, But they have no fiber, etc. have you tried the black bean noodles? I got some but haven't been brave enough to try them yet. I thought...

    I am going to look for it. Is it dry or "fresh"? Do you remember the name?

    when I re-read Andrew's post - he may just have been "chiming in" that the same thing happens to him? And no one gets paid for helping out around here. We just do it because we are "nice"?

    Did you read the explanation above about all that sugar? Also, dark red or purple foods and drinks often turn poop dark greenish. Its just natural, I think.

    Just to let you know, this thread is from 2008. I don't think any of them have been active for a few years.

    Just remember that if you want to get a biopsy, you need to continue to eat a regular gluten containing diet until it is done.

    Unfortunately, most people don't really understand how skin works. There are very few things that can get through all the layers, dead and alive, of skin. If everything could get through, we couldn't function. And even if a substance could get into the blood stream, it would be hard for it to then get out , into the small intestine, to cause a Celiac antibody...

    This thread is from 2010 and I don't think any of these posters are still around.

    No one said YOU had to eat yogurt. No one said she wasn't eating gluten free and being " tough with herself". And yogurt is usually considered low lactose

    Actually, I have to say that the teacher can't expect a 5 year old to know what has gluten and what doesn't. Sounds like he did OK,.... But the fact that he was given gluten to eat and had to decide for himself if it was safe, is scary to me. I think you should get an official plan with the school. I understand that he needs to learn, but he is only...

    All we are talking about is some probiotics to help her heal. Once again, no one is saying the probiotics are to allow her to keep eating gluten. She is new and wants to get her intestinal bacteria back to a normal, balance state.
  17. kareng
    Now you are saying it in a nicer way. Sometimes people do need something to help get their GI system back in working order. Probiotics or yogurt are a way some people add the beneficial bacteria back into a ravaged system. I don't think anyone told her or she thought that probiotics would "cure" her Celiac disease or allow her to eat gluten...

    Those are probably fine for a gluten-free diet. But you should still be eating gluten until all your testing is done.

    Great! That is good to know! Dollar store has $1 reading glasses and magnifying glasses!

    Call the customer service number. They may say something about "no gluten ingredients" & not want to actually say "gluten-free". That is good enough for me.

    I have never had a CVS pharmacist find out if something is gluten-free. I ask them for the brand and call myself, before purchasing it. Often you can find the company info on the web. You can go to any CVS to get your script filled. Your doc doesn't have to do anything. Its in the CVS computer system. They just change your "preferred location". Next...

    I don't think the doctor would know what a lab charges for something that he/she rarely orders. The doctor isn't "selling" you something. They don't get a commission on labs tests. The doc may have the blood drawn in his office, and the office would charge a fee for that. If he isn't getting blood for anything else, he/she might just send you to Quest...

    $300-400. You can call the local labs, like Quest and ask before you have it.

    I agree with Gemini. You are just making yourself anxious. my hub's WBC is always just below " normal". He rarely ( once every 2 or 3 years) gets sick. That is normal for him. It has been for years. wbc can vary, a little, in a person from one month to the next. " normal", in a test, is a range that most people fall in. For most blood...

    First - many people just can't digest dairy. This includes many people who do not have Celiac. Lactose intolerance is very common. For a person with Celiac, the part of the intestines that is damaged by Celiac is the part that digests the lactose in milk. That part will eventually grow back. Because Celiac damage is rarely every inch of your...
