ARCHIVED Blood Work Questions For My 2Yr Old
GFSAHmom posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
We got my son's blood work results after 2.5months gluten free. The Dr is very concerned about his Zinc level. It's 48 (norm is 70-130) He put him on a zinc supplement. What foods can I feed my son that have good zinc but i dont want to overdo it. Also, celiac test # was >139 (144) when we started out January 6th and it's down to 54 now. I thought it... -

ARCHIVED Should I Call Doctor?
GFSAHmom replied to GFSAHmom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I dont know of any Numbers to call as far as hotlines. My son is drinking alot and peeing pretty normal. What I am thinking of giving him cream of rice for breakfast and some toast. He ate corn and meatloaf for dinner. He's waking up 3 times a night for a drink fill up and peeing on the potty each time he does. He went along time today without peeing but... -

ARCHIVED Ohio Celiac Kids Group
GFSAHmom posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I am a stay at home mom from the akron/canton area in Ohio and I am wanting so bad to get my 2.5yr old son into a play group/support group with kids his age or older. He plays very well and he's a nice boy! I'm slightly new to Gluten Free and I'd like to have other mom's to chat with and get advice from. I'd also like to have a SAFE play date for my son... -
ARCHIVED Non-Supportive Family?
GFSAHmom replied to Tamesis's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I'm sorry your DH isn't being supportive. I think he should talk to the doctor but ALSO talk to someone with celiac. If he understood the pain and suffering his daugher may be going through, maybe that would help him understand. Our son has celiac but my husband and I don't. As parents, we have to put our wants aside sometimes and do what's best for our kids... -

ARCHIVED Pale Stools?
GFSAHmom replied to Tamesis's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My son also had he distended belly but he was losing weight very fast. Maybe she doesn't have Celiac and it's gluten intolerance?? My son also had White/cream/grey stool for 2 months! then finally the dr. ordered a celiac test. He was very very positive! BUT THAT COLOR STOOL IS NOT NORMAL and you should take a sample with you and take her to the pediatrician... -
ARCHIVED Suddenly Craving Veggies After Going Gluten-Free?
GFSAHmom replied to kaismom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My son was a very picky eater before going gluten free. He craved Cream of Wheat all time! ( that's if he would eat) After going gluten free, He'll eat anything! And he's more willing to try new things. I think it's because they are learning they can trust food. And it's making them feel good:) I dont know the science of it but i bet that's not a coinsidence... -

ARCHIVED Kid Allways Hungry
GFSAHmom replied to Ginnie64's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I felt very much the same when we started gluten free!!It just feels like something is missing and nothing really "hits the stop". I don't know how long your son has been Gluten-Free, but the feeling will wear off in about a month or 2 when his body realizes it's living off something else. My son ate so much food when we first went Gluten-Free as well but... -
ARCHIVED Experienced Mom Advice!
GFSAHmom replied to GFSAHmom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
stephanieL, I'll ask the teacher if they use tools. If they do, then maybe I'll have to get Cale his own. And yes i agree that the parents will do better if i go through the school. I was going to ask the teacher to send our a letter if she think's it's best. I got that suggestion off of a gluten free mom site Great idea for the snack bucket! I dont think... -
ARCHIVED Are Docs Skeptical Of Celiac Dx Without Biopsy?
GFSAHmom replied to Irishgirl76's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My son was >139 and the GI dr said he didnt even need to do the biopsy to confirm. He said, once it breaks the threshold of 100 it's absolutely positive. If the diet works and u get good results from your daughter gaining weight/feeling better/improving, that's the most important!! -

ARCHIVED High Fat High Protein Diet 6 Year Old
GFSAHmom replied to lkboettger's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My son loves plain vanilla yogurt and it's usually low in fat so I actually add 1-2 Tbs of heavy cream to his yogurt cup and that adds 100 extra calories!! It tastes the same:) I also sneak in heavy cream to his milk, eggs, or anything that might need milk. You can sneak it in oatmeal too! If your child will drink milk shakes, There are great high calorie...
