    aldociao & phil.. If you are finding that the regular gluten free diet is not cutting it for you, you might want to concider the specific carbohydrate diet. It takes out disacchrides and other carbs that are hard to digest and gives your body only items that it can handle.. items that are pretty much already broken down for you so your body does not have...

    We actually have not had blood tests yet.. I guess that is not unusual for this doctor.. ?? I will go with the two week trial and if I see symptoms I will ask for the blood tests.. Like you said mabye the 1/2 slice ob bread was not enough.. or mabye we are barking up the wrong tree.

    Well the thing I feared most has come to pass.. Uncertainty.. His endoscopy and biopsy came out normal. So we are supposed to put him on a normal diet, weigh him in tommorow and in two weeks and see if he gains any weight. If not we will do some more stool studies to look for fat absorption and enzymes. Grrr.. have I been too easy on his system the last...

    I don't know about while you a pregnant.. it can't hurt.. but I can tell you this. If you plan to breastfeed I would go gluten free while doing it. My son startted showing a sensistivitiy to the things I ate and would projectile spit up.. as soon as I took wheat out of my diet he stopped doing that .. when I messed up there he went again. So there's a caution...

    Well we got through the endoscopy of my little two year old today without a hitch. He did really well! He is home and playing and happy and HUNGRY! The initial comment from the doctor is that it didn't look too bad in there. We will find out what the biopsies looked like on Friday and go from there. So we will see. he did lose a little weight in the...

    after 4 kids I have found that the more common sense an idea, a diet or a treatment method has, the less likely a doctor is going to beapt to use it,, it's like they gone the opposite direction from common sense, Whatever happened to this: Patient: Hey doc, it hurts when I do this! Doc: Don't do it! I don't know! do you? Your right.. thescdiet...

    Defnitely look into the sc diet.. there is a begining diet online at the breaking the vicious cycle site.. I really plan to do this and hope to actually see some behavioural changes in my oldest son on it too.. I fear he has this and it is manifesting itself mostly in behavioural problems with him. although he is skinny as a stick.. and falling down the...

    It's only 9 days away so I wouldn't worry about it too much, you could cut down on her intake of gluten but she really needs to be ingest gluten to have the biopsy come out right too. We go in with our son tommorow for his endoscopy, he has not had blood tests yet. As far as the stools go.. pale floating stools are a sign of malsorption and fat in the...

    heheh you already have those muffins don't ya!!! that was you at the other site! is he still having trouble?? I would go for the specific carbohydrate diet for him.. the acidopholis will help some. It may make him gurgly and unpleasant for a few days.. just make sure you are not giving the bad bacteria food in there!! then they will die off and that good...

    The outpatient dept. just called and checked in with us.. have to be there earlier than we were told by the doc. Can't go in with our little guy at all. even when he is put asleep.. so that is going to be hard.. Ijust hope to get some answers.

    Hey Anne, It would be helpful to know which antibody tests came back positive and which did not and exaclty what the numbers were to better answer your question. It is possible to have a gluten sensitivity with out having Celiac disease. Isn't it a pain how the doctors are unwilling to test for this unless they see those 'classic' symptoms? My little...

    Like Sarah said there is no harm in placing your daughter on a gluten free diet. I think you will find that it is a rather healthy diet actually. There is also a diet called the specific carbohydrate diet that is the original celiac diet from when doctors were first figuring this disease out. You might want to look into it as it is a diet meant to help...

    I heard last night that Burger king is going start offering a bunless burger to pacify the Atkins/low carbohydrate diet craze.. but hey that works out for us! They are going to serve it up in a salad bowl with all the fixin's!

    I find when you make things with potato startch like cookies.. they are thin runny and flat.. but when you use potato flour they hold together better. So go ahead and substitute the potato flour, and if you can get it use like half tapioca startch or cornstartch It's a grand experiement and you will find the right combinations that work for you!

    Go hit the doctor upside the head and say NO! Or say.. ok I'll put him back on gluten if you keep him for a week... hehehehe. I really dont understand what their problem is. THEY don't have to do the diet.. it's no skin off their back!!! Just because he showed little damage is no reason to say oh well no it's not that.. I would say that is a reason...

    We are so in the same boat! My little guy is 5 months this week! I tried the rice cereal but he got very gassy and uncharecteristically fussy. So we started giving him bananas. Even just a regular overripe banana mushed up he loved it! I doubt there is much chance of bananas setting off an allergic reaction! And if he is getting rash and irritiation from...
