    I have a quick question regarding testing for DSs. DS#1 was tested for celiac (my grandmother and DH's grandmother both had it and my mother has it - my testing has come back negative two times) at age 7. I've been told that celiac can show up at any time and especially with the family history it might be a good idea to have DSs (now they are 7 and 9) tested...

    2nd - I always ask for test results - my own and my families and I've never been questioned about it at all. Im' sure this is something the doctor's office is used to.

    My son also is allergic to nuts [not peanuts] and was allergic to milk and soy as a baby. Just always looking for new and exciting meal ideas with those "restrictions" if you will... what are some things your child eats? DS is 6 1/2 now. [school lunches are the biggest deal right now] Thanks!!

    Let's see... My Grandmother had is as does my mother and my 6 yr old son. DH's Grandmother had it and I suspect his mother has it, but she keeps *forgetting* to be tested. DH will be tested next Tuesday and hopefully DS #2 will be tested after that (he's almost 5). I had a blood test which came out negative as did my sister and her children.

    This is so great to hear! We're planning a trip in mid February and staing at Shades of Green with my parents (mother is Celiac) and kids (oldest is Celiac-trying to get youngest tested next). I was a bit concerned, but it sounds like it's gonna be fine! Thanks for the info!

    Some of you may already know this... but I just found this out: check this out - gluten free sausages ... they are available at Costco (we dont' have a whole foods or trader joes near us so this is a new discovery) (and other places I'm sure)... and only 4 of the flavors are NOT gluten free... their website is: www.hansallnatural.com -----------...

    PLEASE post the recipe! I'm always looking for more kid-friendly gluten-free recipes.
  8. redheadheather
    That sounds great! We've done it with dried, blenderized gluten-free bread before. We'll have to check that out. Thanks!

    No - you can't have it again. Celiac is what damanged your gut - and will begin to damage it again if you being eating it again. That's my understanding anyway.

    My son really likes homemade chicken nuggets (coated w/gluten free bread we dry and put in the blender). We tried both baked and fried (he liked them so much he asked for THEM to be his school birthday treat for when other kids bring stuff in!) Tacos are always a hit (you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of hamburger) Grilled chicken Scrambled...

    Could I get one of those too? RedHead-Heather@Comcast.Net Thanks!!

    Could I also get a copy of that list? Thanks!! RedHead-Heather@comcast.net

    Supposedly it's from the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University and it's a children's cookbook. I hate buying things site unseen and was wondering if anyone has seen this and/or likes it. Thanks!

    This is from their site... I have several food allergies. Do any of your sausages contain gluten or dairy products? Also, can you tell me what is in your spice blends? Gluten is an ingredient in soy sauce which we use in some of our sausages. These are Thai, Lamb with Rosemary and Lemon Chicken. As for dairy products, our Pesto Sausage contains Romano...

    Another Michigander (Michiganian?) here! NW Michigan to be exact.

    DS's teacher wants him tested for ADHD too. I've told her I think it's a waste of time at this point b/c we are back on gluten until he can get to the ped. gastro. in January. (Makes me scared reading other posts that it could do permanent damage to the brain - ACK). The school is really pushing it though. We have an appointment with an external specialist...
  17. redheadheather
    Thanks! That's the exact one I was looking for.

    I know there's a link somewhere to the page with pre-made sheets to give your child's school, teacher, etc. on Celiac Disease... but I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone give me the link or site or directions to it? TIA!
  19. redheadheather
    Thanks - that's what I thought (3 months)... He's been gluten-free for almost 9 weeks.
  20. redheadheather
    My son's doctor's office [who I don't particularly trust] told me to keep him on gluten for about 3 weeks before testing him again... I thought I'd read here that it had to be at least 3 months? Can someone tell me how long we need to wait to get him tested? Thanks!
  21. redheadheather
    No - no real change other than the weight loss. He did have issues w/focusing on school work that cleared up - but it's hard to say if gluten was the culprit there... or mild attention issues that resolved when he got the hang of learning how to read(or he's a normal 6 year old boy ) He was mainly tested because of a strong family history on both...

    Only the IGG was positive and they pediatric gastroenterologist said that since they only did an IGA and an IGG test, that isnt' sufficient for a diagnosis, especially since one was negative. The only change I can say we noticed in him (health wise and behavior wise) since we started in August is that he lost 5 pounds. I REALLY hate the doctors we...
  23. redheadheather
    So the doctor group my son sees is now recommending that he go back on gluten for 3 months in order to do a further "more specific" test for gluten antibodies (the TTG one) "not that what they ordered was wrong, but with Evan's results being inconclusive..." GAH - that is SO not what they said initially. They're only doing this b/c I questioned why they...

    My mother is A+ and diagnosed celiac. I don't know what blood type my son is. I'm AB+, but then again I tested negative.

    I recently emailed all our local TV stations and radio stations. So far... nothing. Most of the coverage is BCA. I'm hoping at least one of them will do a little something next week or so. [crosses fingers]
