ARCHIVED Are You Gluten Free For Your Kids?
VydorScope replied to lorka150's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
So far as we know for sure, only my 2yr son has celiac disease. My wife has no symptons and had a neg result on her blood test. I am delbiertly eating gluten only so that I can get the blood test in November, other then that we find it MUCH eaiser with a 2yr to make all three of us gluten-free. If we are blessed with a second child I am not sure what we... -

VydorScope replied to VegasCeliacBuckeye's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I do not know much about these gizmos' but my mom bought us one when we found out my son has celiac disease. This is waht we got: [url=Open Original Shared Link Inspire ExpressBake 2-lb. Breadmaker - 5836[/ur] Its only $59.99 at Target. It works great. At least the 1/2 dozen or so loaves I have made have come out great. I need to use it more! -

ARCHIVED Poop Question
VydorScope posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
OKay, I have to ask this here cause my wife does not know the answer and I dont want to pay co-apy at my doc to find out a silly question like this. Since going back on gluten (for the test) I have notice that my poop floats now, and color shifts from brown to greenish to blackish. I can not see any odvious connection to what I ate that day since I typical... -

This page is basicly the same idea for celiac disease: https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-00105362397.3e Its based on America products though, so if your not in USA it might not be as accurate. -
ARCHIVED Gluten And/or Add?
VydorScope replied to redheadheather's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
redheadheather, Odvilously its very hard to say much based on your posts , but your not telling the typical ADD/ADHD story. Based soly on my experence with ADD/ADHD families, and etc, I would say your posts do not sound like a mother with an ADD/ADHD child. If you do not have faith in your doctors , get new ones. You need to get Iron/etc tested... -

VydorScope replied to redheadheather's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
And back to the oringal post, I would not test of ADHD at this stage. Its to soon with to many other possble factors. My orginal questions still stand How long has your child been gluten-free? Have you checked for deficincies, ESPLY Iron decifient Anemai? How does your child react ot Sugar and Caffine, does you child get more or less focus... -

VydorScope replied to redheadheather's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Nah we dont disagre that often... but I think in this case it might be more of a misunderstanding then a disagreement. I think I might have misread your intent, cause I would never say let a techer diag a child. I always suggest at least TWO inddpentent diags from non-school connect officals when I console ppl. Sorry if we had a missing connection there! -

VydorScope replied to redheadheather's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Let me clear one thing up, school is about the most cruel place for a child, reguardless of any issues. Peer teasing is rampaent, and you dont need any "lable" to get it. Once you leave school you CHOOSE to go whereever you go, and do what you do. If you choose to stay in envrioments where what you are gets you grief, then thats your call. IE How many... -

Okay, agian, unless you lived through it personaly you can have no clue what your talking about. I am sorry, but you dont.

VydorScope replied to redheadheather's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Not true. Not at all. As I siad, I am ADHD, and I have other simualr "lables". In reality, if one wants to exploit the system the labes are a HUGE benifit. For example its litterly illegal for any teacher to make me spell words correctly. Well WAS true till I gaduted college a couple years ago. Medication is not required for all cases od ADD/ADHD, but... -

Soory, I should have mention that my doc siad it was because it goes deeper in then the endoscope, but I do not think its more sensitve.. just goes doen futher..

My GI doc talked to me about doing this not that long ago. But he told me it has a very low rate of successfully finding anything and he only does it if nothing else turns anything up. So I told him, NO THANKS. Not paying a $500 copay for that kind of return thats for sure. -

Okay, I hope I do not sound cruel here, or unfeeling, cuase I do not mean to... BUT WHO THE HECK CARES? Its like when I was in college, I did not drink OR smoke, and if ppl thought I was wierd, thats THIER PROBLEM, not mine or yours. I realy think a lot of us would be healthier and happier if we just stoped putting so much importance on what other ppl... -

ARCHIVED Is It Hard To Be Gf And Vegetarian?
VydorScope replied to frenchiemama's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
In reality the answer is yes. ANY food restriction is tough.... till you get used to it. For example, when I started the aktins diet few years ago (was about 40 or so pounds over wieght), it was TOUGH to give up bread , candy and etc... but now, years later, and proper wieght... I mostly stick to that style of eating via subconcious habbit. Switching... -
Personally, I likethe caffine, and if its bad for me, so be it. I dont drink, smoke or do illegal drugs, so its my main vice LOL.
