  1. Our first Easter Sunday without gluten. Not as hard as one would think, but since Kaia is also allergic to dairy, latex, beef, cherries and soy, a lot of candy is already off limits so I just needed to refine my already dwindling list of safe candies.Growing up, the Easter Bunny never brought a lot of candy he always seemed to bring the one thing we were...
  2. Although in theory hand sanitizer sounds good for pushing off the crumbs, it is only dropping all the crumbs into the classroom wherever they do their hand sanitizer. Ask your doctor or dietician for a letter of medical necessity for the entire class to wash their hands. My daughters letter of medical necessity states that the entire class mush wash their...
  3. Here is my two cents. We went out and bought new tupperware and rubbermaid containers all with blue lids. These are gluten-free containers only. It helps my husband to find a quick snack for my daughter in or out of the refrigerator. We tossed all our teflon pots and pans and went to all stainless so as not to cross contaminate due to scratches in teflon...
  4. It could also be the artificial vanilla. My daughter has celiac and cannot tolerate any vanilla that is not all natural and gluten free. It very well be cross contamination. The person that makes your frappe is also handling the french fries ( which are not gluten free) and also the sandwich wrappers that have been touched by the person making the sandwich...
  5. The school may say there is no microwave available, but there is one most likely, in the teacher's lounge or the cafeteria ( in the kitchen)My daughter is in kindergarten a celiac and allergic to dairy, soy, beef and cherries. We had the doctor write a letter of medical necessity that her meal needs to be heated and we send in whatever we want every day although...
  6. Thank you, I called the Dr's office and spoke with the intake director about finding someone else to work with my daughter and it seems now all the dr is doing is calling to see why I don't want him working with her! The head of the department was suppose to call me and discuss new options, but I think the only thing she did was go tot the psychologist and...
  7. Has anyone been to the Celiac Center at CHOP? We live in Cincinnati and our daughter is cared for by the Center of Eosinophialic Disorders even though my daughter is not diagnosed with eosinophilia, she just seems to have all the same symptoms ie..failure to thrive, only about 10 total foods she eats, gi tube fed, nissen fundoplication, amino acid based...
  8. My daughter is fairly new to celiac disease she was diagnosed 3 days before Christmas, but is no stranger to food allergies/intolerances. She is anaphalytic to dairy and bee stings, and has severe reactions to soy, beef, cherries, latex adhesives, and of course wheat and gluten. The doctors believe that Kaia's nissen fundoplication and g-tube placement...
  9. Have you ever had your son tested for eosinophilia? My daughter has multiple food allergies, only 10 but she is also g tube fed and takes in an elemental formula to supplement her diet. It might be worh the test.
