My son was diagnosed at 7 with celiac and at the time I was assured it was just eczema by my doctor and dermatologist. My brother has DH so I was certain that was the case and I pushed for more answers. His blood work was off the charts high and they immediately did a scope to prove for certain there was damage to the small intestines, meaning celiac. I have...

My friend e-mailed me this today. I have to check it out myself but thought I would pass the info on for anyone interested. Any feed back from people who have been here or ordered on-line from here would be greatly appreciated. www.creative-choices.ca

To answer your questions briefly (I'm no expert just learning too but seem to becoming an expert thanks to this group ) Yes, Celiac Disease is genetic. If he has had this many problems from birth and you yourself have just been diagnosed then he needs to be tested asap. Do NOT take him off gluten until after his blood work and scope. The plus side...

\ Really? we have been avoiding anything that says "spices" and "modified cornstarch" because I thought those potentially could have gluten. This is so confusing. lol Trying to remember everything and learn all I need. On any ingredients list do they now have to list any "hidden" glutens? O.k just dug out my Pocket dictionary and yes it does say modified...

hmm..I've never actually considered gluten in body wash products before. my son has DH and we use johnsons shamppos all the time. He doesnt have any rash from it. Not saying it is gluten-free but that is our experience.

lol Well my son never ate the bun before we found out he had celiac so he doesn't care too much. We actually slice 1/2 the weiner three times up the length and roast them over the firepit...as they cook they shrink up and they look like a squid. We call them Squidward hotdogs and the kids love them. lol

LOL Gotta love this forum! I just did a google search to come up with more info on gluten free hotdogs and immediately got directed to this website. Just read an old post from last year and I hope to find some of those gluten-free hot dogs at costco, lets hope they sell them this year Thanks again everyone

Thanks I'll look for them, a lot of the hot dogs here have wheat and the rest say "may contain wheat" or spices or modified cornstarch so I'm a little unsure. I will have to do some more research on some other brands and contact them to find out more. Thanks everyone else, unfortunetely I havent' heard of any of those brands here in ont.

BBQ season is here and I've been very busy at work lately (we own a garden centre) so sometimes it is nice just to come home and put some hotdogs/hamburgers on the BBQ but which brands are Gluten Free? It would really save me some time if anyone in Ontario knows already which brand(s) I can buy in my local grocery store...Maple leaf, Snyders, Jumbo juicy...

Im not sure if this is assosiated with celiac but I can certainly sympathize with your daughter, I was a bedwetter till...well lets just say I had my period and STILL wet the bed. Don't let them tell you to wait another year it is really hard on a little girl. Im my case I was always told I was lazy, too deep a sleeper, drinking too much before bed etc.....

My brother took me to the whole foods in Hamilton and I was in heaven.lol Some of the items I buy locally were a couple bucks cheaper (and when it is my son's school snacks that helps a lot) they had a sale and I stocked up! lol wish we had one here.

Savysue and kareng I wish there was a "like" button similar to what facebook has lol

OMG her friends actually force her sometimes!? Kids are mean..hmmm...gonna have to talk to my son on that one. It is hard to teach them at that age the effects of gluten my son doesnt get the concept that damage is being done on the inside too. He figures he just gets itchy and he says "I don't care" I'm trying to teach him but he sometimes gets sensitive...

As a busy mom of three and working full time I have been doing my best with this new diet. I've been getting frustrated that my husband is not taking more of a stand and helping more. However, after a very busy day at work, setting up a display at our local Maple syrup festival, rushing to pick up the kids and get them to the festival to ride the rides...
