    I agree with your earlier post you do need to have her go for the scope to make sure it is celiac. It is a lifelong diet and very strict and hard to follow. But it will be necessary. However I do have a friend who has celiac and still chooses to eat gluten. Why? I have no idea but then I choose not to smoke at all or be near anyone who does (I get massive...

    I was going to suggest a movie and popcorn day but MY 12 year old says that would be o.k but all the movies at school have to be "G" rated or "PG" and not such good movies. lol So I said fine what do you suggest He responded with "If someone in our class couldnt have pizza (like his little brother) he thought they should never have a pizza party, instead...

    lol Don't be like me and leave the Emla patches at home! lol My six year old was just diagnosed last month and had both the blood work and scope. I agree it is a life long diet and we wanted 100% confirmation too (and needed that so we could get a doctors note so we could claim all his food Don't forget to save your food reciepts) My son was quite...

    it is so true our world does revolve around food and no you are NOT being too sensitive. Most people don't get it. I have just started my son on the gluten free diet and have to ask many questions. Sometimes I think my family must be sick to death of hearing me go on about what I've learned etc. The first year is the hardest according to my brother who also...

    Do you live in Canada too? Have the stores gotten in products for you such as chex and Betty Crocker cake mixes? that would be fabulous if they did.

    I'm glad for this post. My son who is 6 has always been very tall and equally VERY skinny. I have always said he looked malnurished and sickly now that he has been diagnosed with celiac and I have learned so much on this forum I understand why. I have been hoping his new diet will put some meat on his bones. His colour has improved he was always deathly pale...

    Just not available in Canada. I have tried ordering from the General mills site but they don't ship to canada I can buy them and ship a package to anyone in the States...but that doesnt help me I signed a petition last week to hopefully bring them here. I can't get Chex cereal or bisquick either. And I know the Chex has been available for a while. If anyone...

    lol I keep thinking I should borrow them from my niece that's exactaly what she says too. It is like that usually for most movies based on books.

    Thanks Brittany we were there on the weekend and had such a good time. We ate right at the hotel to have more time in the pool and just had plain steak and potatoe he loved it. We also hit Boston Pizza and he didn't even want the gluten free pizza he wanted moms special salad with grilled chicken. It is huge and he ate the whole thing practically! lol
  12. hockeymomofceliacchild
    Thanks everyone It was a hard weekend for us at a hockey tournament with all his team. We felt like we were being anti-social all the time because we had to go eat at a different restaurant (steak and potatoes at the hotels restaurant downstairs) while the kids were in the pool and then having a pizza party after. It didn't seem to bother my son in...

    Thanks so much I have to admit that just waiting for my bloodwork is hard for me. Everytime I put something in my mouth I think sniff, sniff this could be the last time I eat this! LOL So I can imagine how hard it is for him and Im NOT on the diet and my not have to be. lol
  14. hockeymomofceliacchild
    His reading has improved immensely this year, I was worried about his then something clicked and now he is way ahead. He is learning all about gluten and letting everyone know he can't eat it. He still gets confused sometimes he looks at a label and says "that has a "g" on it I can't eat it" and I have to say "no sweetie that means grams..." lol ...

My husband is half Irish and half Scottish Although I'm the one who claims the Irish desent and I'm a Heinz 57 lol His name is Kaden Patrick which means welsh warrior I will be sure to tell him this. Thanks

    Just wanted to talk about something that happened this morning with my little guy. He's been gluten free for just over a month and quite happy and feeling a little "special" because of it. Maybe a little extra attention from mom and lots of new yummy foods. This morning I told him a package came in for him and he was really excited when I told him. But when...

    oh I can totally relate! I am very impatiently waiting for the results of my two children and myself. Everytime I come home and see a message I get anxious and than mad because it is just a telemarket person I didn't even think I could have celiac...I mean I knew years ago I had a slight wheat allergy but symptoms didnt really affect me that much....
  19. hockeymomofceliacchild
    I have to admit I was one of those friends (or sister) in this case. It's not that I didn't support my brother, because I did. I knew he had celiac and if he ate wheat he would get a nasty itchy rash.... Now my son has the same thing and man do I ever have more sympaty for him now and his wife too who has to do all the shopping and baking It is...

    My test results aren't in yet but it will certainly be interesting if I test positive. Since my son was diagnosed I've done lots of reading and wow it would certainly explain some things in my life. I haven't had any real energy for so long...My house looks like a cyclone hit it and is bringin me down. Hmm..so if I don't have celiac what can I blame it on...

    Jenny my husband isn't sure where his paperwork is but if you look up Barrie Endoscopy Clinic on Quarry Ridge Road (right next to the Barrie hospital) you could probably get some info. If I find it in the mean time I'll let you know. Good luck with this.
  22. hockeymomofceliacchild
    Hi I'm in Elmvale just north of Barrie and fairly new to gluten free shopping too. Most of the grocery stores have a small selection, as you said Walmart, super store but if you go to Stayner to Jacs, 7280 Main st. Jenny is really good at getting what you are looking for. Different flours, cereals, bagels, perogies, etc...(www.jacshealthfoods.com) I have...

    My kids are always constipated my 2 year old actually asked for a supository she was in so much pain. I give my kids lactulose to help them out. If it wasn't for my son being consitpated his DH would not have flared the doctor prescribed more fibre and we were putting bran buds in meatloaf and spagetti wow did his rash flare and thus concluded he had celiac...
  24. hockeymomofceliacchild
    K thanks that is what I've been doing thanks to everyones insite on here I didn't know if there were any other reason to have him tested for sure.
  25. hockeymomofceliacchild
