    Good question. I have two daughters 20 months apart, older one is not celiac the younger one is. Our home is completely gluten free so everyone eats the same thing. If we go out to eat (rare!) the girls both have the same gluten free meal. At family dinners the meal is all gluten-free (I have a wonderul mother in law!) So everyone there eats the same meals...

    My daughter only had the endosopy. No mention of a colonoscopy. Prep for a colonoscopy is not fun! I would just to the endoscopy at this point.

    I don't think it is school causing stress or her not wanting to go. She is happy at school and always goes to school without issues. I am wondering about other intolerances but don't even know where to start for that.

    I need some help. My daughter is 6 and was diagnosed with celiac 20 months ago. Our entire house is gluten free except for the ocassional beer my hisband had. Lately (about one episode per week, usually on sunday/monday) my daughter has been having horrible behavior issues and meltdowns. She gets aggressive with her sister, hitting and punching for no reason...

    My daughter was 4. We told her she was going for a tummy test so they could look for owies with their camera. We told her she would go to sleep. She had the IV put in and then was given the sedation drugs intravenously. I was with her in the OR while she got the IV and when they gave her the meds. She went to sleep VERY quickly. Watching that was the hardest...

    Are there any mainstream commonly found sunscreens that are gluten free?

    I saw Jessica Alba on tv last night talking about her new company....eco friendly, non chemical prosucts at www.honest.com I went to browse the products and the one of the ingredients of the shampoo has be totally confused. It says hydrolyzed wheat protein (gluten free)! Is this possible or are they completely out to lunch? Open Original Shared Link

    My daughter used to wake up at night crying with no reason behind it. She had open eyes but seemed "out of it" I could not get her to stop crying nor figure out what was wrong. Sometimes I had to get her up and out of the room to "wake her up" other times I just rub her back and she stops. Since going gluten-free this does not happen anymore. I am positive...

    Hi, I am trying to find good gluten free restaurants in or around Honolulu/Waikiki. We are planning a trip to Hawaii sometime this year. I have found lots of old threads on here but I am looking for some up to date info. I am sure a lot has changed since 2005-2008 (when a lot of these threads were from). So any good places please share! My daughter is celiac...

    I agree with the above poster! It is pretty rare to have false positive blood. I have never heard of anyone who did. There are also MANY symptoms associated with celiac including the ones you mentioned you see in your son. Not everyone has the "classic" symptoms or what people think are the classic symptoms.

    There are a few here but we mainly buy tinkyada as well.

    My daughter was 4 at the time of her celiac diagnosis. Her behaviors were similar....antagonistic towards her older sister, whiny, irritable (she crashed/melted every day around 3-4pm and making supper was a disaster!) Extremely clingy and attached to me, would not play independantly, no interest in playing, coloring etc just wanted to lay around and watch...

    You can not be "gluten lite" it's all or nothing. Any tiny amount will make someone sick so yes you need to worry about crumbs and flour etc. Your whole family should be tested. Has your 17 month old been tested? Everyone should still be eating gluten before the test otherwise the results will be skewed.

    I feel the same. My 5 year old daughter has celiac and nobody else in our family. It was extremely hard adjusting at first but almost one year later I can say everything feels normal now. Yes she is different but other people have things that make them different too. I worry about things like dates, sleepovers etc but I try to take things one day at a time...

    Which test did you have? IgE for allergies or TTG IgA for celiac?

    gluten-free rice krispies squares sMake the blondies using nut free "peantu butter" soy butter or pea butter is good. My kids take it to school and they like it.

    Oops, sorry! She never had diarrhea but was chronically constipated; for as far back as I can remember.

    Eating naturally gluten-free foods will help with the budget. Eggs, potatoes, rice, fruits, veggies, check cheese and luncheon meats but those are reasonably priced, air popped popcorn, some rice cakes, plain fresh meat. Make meals at home, don't leave home without snacks or a packed meal. It gets easier!! Hang in there.

    My daughter was moody, irritable, lethargic, dark under eye circles, waking up crying at night, constantly hungry, achy legs. We also did blood work to see what (if anything) was going on. Her IgA ttg was 42.

    My daughter's scope looked normal but the biopsy proved she had marsh classification 3D damage. Complete villous atrophy. How this was not seen on scope I don't know.

    She ate marshmallow pebbles which we thought was gluten-free but realized after this box did not say gluten-free anywhere. We got the wrong one I guess and I assume that this one isn't gluten free.

    I think my daughter had cereal with gluten on Monday. The next day she was extremely irritable,behaving weird, had headaches etc. Today (Friday) she out of the blue vomited (on a sidewalk by a store!). I am wondering if this would be a result of the gluten? I don't think she has had any gluten since being diagnosed and going gluten-free so I am not sure what...

    I think people get bored with lunch in general, gluten-free or not! Some easy ideas would be: leftovers pizza bagels (gluten-free of course) pasta salad boiled eggs/scrambled eggs fruit veggies rice with chicken and/or veggies rice cakes with peanut butter, cream cheese, melted cheddar etc sandwiches on gluten-free bread
