Latest Celiac Disease News & Research:

Everything posted by Kailynsmom

    IF the dr said that initial findings were abnormal, most likely that means celiac disease. Anemia is also VERY common with celiac disease, because the body isn't absorbing the vitamins and minerals from food. Have you continued with the gluten-free diet?

    Hi guys, It's been a while since I've been on here. But i thought about the board tonight and wondered if you more knowledgeable ones out there could shed some light here's the scoop. My daughter, Kailyn, has always shown signs of lactose intolerance. Extremely colicky baby, refused to sleep, reflux, lactose intolerant. Around 18 months, began waking...

    My daughter is now three and has been Gluten free for almost 8 months....our biggest- and most painful- glutening....PLAYDOH! Contains wheat. She still plays with it, but scrubs her hands after wards and does fine...but it took me months to figure out what was making her sick

    My daughter, now 3, has always been known to us as lactose intolerant. When she went gluten-free in July 2005, her dr told me that after about 6 months, enough healing should be done that if her L.I. was due to celiac it should go away. Sure enough, she's been on cow's milk for over a month now and she's doing great. We didn't know she had celiac disease...

  7. Kailynsmom
    Anyone been to Maddy's Rib and Blues Joint in atlanta? ANy gluten-free menu items? What about gluten-free bbq items?

    We second the Pacific tomato soup- all of theirs are good actually. We also like Progresso Chicken and Rice!

    I don't know if all carmel coloring in the us is gluten-free, but I do know that I have yet to find any companies so far that DO use gluten in their caramel coloring. I always take my cell with me to the store so I can make quick calls on products i think my girls might like to check gluten status.

    Celiac.com has list called the "safe list" and the "forbidden list" that tell you everything you need to check labels for. when my daughter went gluten-free 6 months ago, they helped tremendously.

    ARCHIVED Nuvaring

    Kailynsmom replied to jenvan's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I have been on the patch for almost 6 months and like it. Unlike the pill, I ahven't gained weight, actualy I've lost a few lbs, it's lessened my pms symptoms like irritability. However, I do get awful diahhrea before each period , which i never did on pill or without any bc. My only gripe is that I can't find a spot on me that clothes don't rub against the...
  12. Kailynsmom
    My OB told me that diahhrea is normal with your period! Thank GOD! Otherwise I have a mild flu every month- haha! Could it just be a combo of womanitis + celiac disease?
  13. Kailynsmom
    WHile we're on the topic of junk foods, anybody know if chips like CHeetos are gluten-free?
  14. Kailynsmom
    THis is probably a stupid question, but what are the eight allergens they're required to list? Does it mean that they can't hide gluten in msf or artifical flavors, etc?
  15. Kailynsmom
    At first glance of their allergy statement- it seems that they would be gluten free. "No other known allergens." If you can't reach the company, then I'd wait. A few more days isn't going to make a huge difference right? While you're waiting, I'd see if you can find their website and look for any statements on allergy information and packaging. See if they...

    Cheers for KRAFT! They are probably one of the best companies. When I called regarding a product, not only did the lady take the time to explain the ingredients and their labeling- allergy policies. SHe even sent me a pamphlet explaining how to read their labels for allergy info and it included a list of gluten-free Kraft products.

    ARCHIVED Bk Fries

    Kailynsmom replied to rache's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I contacted BK corporate office about 2 months ago with the same question because kailyn loves their fries. Lady said that they cannot guarantee dedicated fryers and that they do not monitor gluten content, simply wheat. She said it's better for G-sensitive people not to eat BK
  18. Kailynsmom
    All of Kailyn's tests (blood and biopsy) came back negative for celiac disease. Within a week of gluten-free diet, she was showing improvement. Now almost 6 months later, she's gaining weight and doing amazing! Her GI dr said once it's been 6 months and she's still doing well gluten-free he'll give her official "celiac disease" diagnosis. As he told me...

    Nobody mentioned our favorite: Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles ANd Post is even making the Fruity Pebbles with 50% less sugar so I don't feel guilty about letting my two year old eat sugary cereal for breakfast

    I do not have celiac disease, but my ex-husband's family does. We suspect he does too, but he won't get tested. My daughter Kailyn has celiac disease and her dr told me he has "heard" that some think that those who are genetically predisposed to celiac disease, if breastfed, will likely develop celiac disease. Dr's, he said, don't understand why, because...

    While I don't suffer from celiac disease, I had this problem after my first daughter was born. Definately go to the dr- your 'girlie' dr, not primary care. And tell them Monistat isn't working. Ask for Diflucan! You can't go wrong, it's amazing. Ditto on the pants thing. My dr even told me not to wear any panties that weren't 100% cotton- all the...

    Last week I posted asking if anyone knew of gluten-free menu items at Johnny Carino's Italian restaurant. Although no one did, when I asked our server, the chef himself came out to talk to me! He made gluten-free dining easy- and they're grilled chicken is to die for! Oh my God, gone are the days of thinking chicken is boring. Now if only I can get his...
  23. Kailynsmom
    We will be eating out for a party tonight and was wondering if anybody knows what is gluten free at Johnny Carino's?
  24. Kailynsmom
    Oh gosh... does anyone else ever feel like nothing in the world is safe? I mean, come on, checking parchment paper now? Don't mean to sound mean, just sick and having hard time finding easy gluten-free foods that a two year old will eat! Thank GOd for Cocoa Pebbles!
  25. Kailynsmom
    Thank you, thank you thank you. I have heard that kids tylenol is gluten-free but with all the different choices (liquid, chewable, etc) and flavors I never know which one. Now I can let her pick her favorite with confidence. Also thought I'd share the following: I've read several threads on here about people needing good easy ideas for meals and...
