    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.
  7. hockeymomofceliacchild
    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
  8. hockeymomofceliacchild
    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
  9. hockeymomofceliacchild
    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...
  11. hockeymomofceliacchild
    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.
  13. hockeymomofceliacchild
    Savysue and kareng I wish there was a "like" button similar to what facebook has lol
  14. hockeymomofceliacchild
    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...
  16. hockeymomofceliacchild
    That's tough. Could you say "hey that was good, did you make it" if she did you could say "do you remember how it was made? what flour did you use etc... and find out a little more. If she says something you know you cant have you could say oh dear that was good but I actually cant eat this if it has _______ in it. Just a thought, you really hate...

    I said pretty much the same thing to someone today. "We always ate peanut butter and jam sandwiches...blah...blah..." "yep and 90% of the time people died from unknown causes ALL the time"
  18. hockeymomofceliacchild
    Thanks so much, yes it is very confusing One of the things in the same recipe book is to make a gluten-free flour mix that I wanted to mix up and it also calls for Potato starch flour as well as rice flour and tapioca flour. I will go with the potato starch then. Thanks again
  19. hockeymomofceliacchild
    I have a reciepe that calls for "potato starch flour", when I went to go buy some different flours I could find "potato starch" and "potato flour" is "potato starch flour" something completly different? I was going to buy the potato starch but thought I'd ask here first. Too many different things to learn. lol
  20. hockeymomofceliacchild
    wow that is just bizzarre! I can't say as it really causes any issues for us to make a peanut free lunch for our kids. Their schools have always been peanut free and I have never thought it was a hassel to do this. Most times they don't even have someone in their class with a peanut alergy but makes it safe for that one child who is deathly allergic somewhere...

    We are from the little town of Elmvale North of Barrie, Ont. My son was diagnosed earlier this year and the only reason he was tested was because I insisted knowing my older brother has DH/celiac for about 10 years. I wouldn't have had a clue otherwise thinking he just had echema...little did I know all the OTHER symptoms that were from celiac. Thanks to...

    My brother is heading to Newfoudland sometime this summer for about 12weeks to work. Any suggestions on gluten free eating in NF. I'm sure he would appreciate it
  23. hockeymomofceliacchild
    Wow you are one brave person! I couldn't imagine doing that with out sedative but holy, what a difference in price! I tend to forget how easy we have it here in Canada, the scope is covered under OHIP and we don't pay anything. Anyone I talk to can't believe we had to pay $125 to have the bloodwork done for celiac test....and I have to admit I grumbled...

    I just read this on my own facebook and was coming on this site to post. the article I read has mentioned it is deleted but I just posted the picture of his facebook comment on my own facebook page I was so furious!
  25. hockeymomofceliacchild
    I just realized there were pages of responses here and missed all the others til now. Sorry to hear things are not going good with you and your wife I have read that celiac causes so many issues and this could be part of it. Just let her know you are there for her and focus on your child and what is best for her (him?)If I have learned anything from a divorce...
