Thank you for all your replies! She drinks silk soy milk. Do you guys trust cereals like fruity pebbles that claim to be gluten free? I am going to try and keep my house as gluten free as possible we are a large family so it's a bit hard to go completely gluten free all the time. Though I do try and cook lots of naturally gluten free foods (chicken...

When my celiac was about two weeks old I brought her for a checkup and her belly was severely bloated. Dr sent her straight to gastro that day to check her out. Her stomach was full of air, she had blood in her stool and was jaundice. Dr told me to stop nursing ASAP and put her on hypoallergenic formula. His first thought was severe allergies. Once...

Let me clarify a little (sorry), She really is gluten free. She is very good about the diet. Once in a while she'll either get Glutened by mistake (she doesn't know how to read yet, but I really am very on top of her). In school she has a health para who checks everything and is in contact with me throughout the day. I make her leave the room during baking...

I need to start over. My daughter was diagnosed over 3 years ago she is now 6. She if off gluten, dairy and most fruit. She has been doing pretty well on the diet, she sneaks once in a while but I'd say about 95% of the time she's gluten free. Her last blood results were good. Buutttt I can tell she's still not 100%. She's having slight symptoms and...

YES!!!! Or how about when people say "Ok, at least you know what it is...coulda been worse..." Easy for you to say as you bite into your fried high gluten donut and sip your milkshake!!!!

Sounds like classic symptoms to me... test her! Good luck.

Im sick and tired of all these food companies that write GLUTEN FREE on their labels, just to find out there's enough gluten in it to set an uproar in a celiac's indsides. Im sick and tired of all these candy companies that you would never even think would have gluten in it, has a teeny tiny drop of gluten listed in its ingredients. I'm sick and tired...

Nuff said... This can be SO hard to deal with sometimes.... today is one of those days.... Gosh, when are they going to find a cure already?

100%. I can tell when my daughter becomes glutened even before her physical symptoms start to show. She gets extremely cranky, her voice gets hoarse, she throws incredible tantrums, she becomes extremely fatigued, and nervous. She turns into a grump. It is so difficult to watch her go through with it... It lasts about a week, slowly getting better as the...

Wow, that really puts things in perspective katie! Thank you! I just hope she learns to control it before she starts to get embarrassed about it in school... Never a dull moment! But I have to say, she does SO BEAUTIFULLY when she is fully gluten-free! Call me crazy, but she looks..Peaceful would be the word I'd say. I like those days

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH! Sorry, had to let it out. My daughter (3) woke up covered in diarrhea this morning. I let her stay home from school because I don't know if she will soil herself in school. I don't get it. Why does she soil herself only when she is glutened?? It's usually very constipated when she's been glutened so I think this diarrhea was the last of...

Wow. What's his problem? Does he even know what Celiac is?? Some people need to find a hobby... Just ignore him. Don't even give him the negative attention. He doesn't deserve it. Let's all just keep writing that we have seen some serious regression. Some people.... Sheesh.

She is only three. She has a ton of gluten-free snacks more than anyone else in the house! She took it from my other kid's snack bags for school. A different day it was a cookie in my MIL's house when nobody was looking. Then after that she had major munchies and just went for anything.

My daughter has been doing so well over the past few months...now for the passed three days she has been sneaking gluten any chance she got In a way this is worse than a strong peanut allergy bc she doesn't feel a difference until much later! Poor kid I feel terrible for her!

My daughter (now 3) was a monster until she went gluten free. She was SUCH a hard kid. She would throw crazy tantrums, run around the house like a maniac, jump from crazy heights and laugh when she fell down, never ever slept, would climb up on the counters with a chair and step stool on top of it. We used to joke that she's stronger than my 7 year old....
