  1. I hear ya. I have 3 kids and only one with celiac....at the moment that is, since I know it could potentially trigger in the other 2 at any time. At home, we have all the kids eat gluten free, and at school we just have my celiac one eat gluten free. It was the easiest way to not have to prepare so many separate meals and then the other kiddos can still...
  2. What a wonderful story....and one that felt like I was writing it for my little girl! It seems we shared very similar experiences. Thanks for sharing and so glad our littles are finally healthy and happy again!!
  3. It is scary to put your little one under for the procedure, but it is worth it. My little girl was barely 14 months when she had hers done and it all went perfectly. And it is a relatively quick procedure so you don't have to worry for too long. More importantly we got the confirmed positive result that gave us a real diagnosis and we were able to make...
  4. I don't remember the actual numbers from my daughter's first test at 14months, but they were also extremely high. However, we opted to do the endescopy anyway because it is the one chance you'll have before you switch them to the gluten free diet exclusively. She is now 5 and will be going into kindergarten and I'm glad we did the endescopy because if nothing...
  5. Rachel, So sorry for all the craziness you have been going through. My little girl was about 14 months when she just got worse and worse, would throw up everything she ate (as it almost all had wheat) and would literally eat nothing. The doctors told us to be patient with her and spend more time feeding her, but I don't think they understood that when...
  6. Personally, my little one does scrambled eggs for breakfast with some cheese and fruit. But, if cereal is the thing to have, I just recently found that the General Mills Chex cereals have 5 flavors that are now gluten free (Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Honey Nut Chex, Chocolate Chex, and Cinnamon Chex). Unlike the specialty boxed cereals (Envirokids for example...
  7. Discount School Supply (Open Original Shared Link) is a good place to start in regards to art supplies. Sells a lot of "Colorations" brand materials that are often gluten free, casein free, soy free, nut free, etc.
  8. I live on the west coast, so do not have a Wegmans, but maybe I will be on the lookout in other stores! Thanks for the suggestion
  9. When my daughter was tested a few months ago (at the time she was 17 months), they told us that anything over 19 was considered positive for Celiac and that she had a reading of 200 something! I would check with your doctor to make sure, but they told us that 19 was the magic number. ~jenny
  10. My almost 2 year old daughter was just recently diagnosed with Celiac (confirmed via blood test/endoscopy) and I am trying out different kid friendly snack food for her. I read the ingredients on Post's Fruity Pebbles Cereal and saw that there were no gluten containing ingredients and bought some. Then I got home and decided to call the manufacturer just...
