    Maybe there are some family camps! I just found this one googling around: Open Original Shared Link

    My daughter wasn't ready for camp this year, but we are talking it up for next year. She wants her sister to come, so I'm glad that they take siblings. Did she love it? What were the highlights?

    I know that there are lots of great ideas on the other links, but here are a few from our house. My daughter loves some of the GoPicnic gluten free lunches -- they come in little boxes about 350 calories, mostly organic / preservative free, really healthy options. Of course her faves are the ones that are more junk-foody. The one called Turkey Stick Crunch...

    I'm sure it varies from location to location. I've walked out of restaurants when I felt that they wouldn't be able to handle the food to my satisfaction. We went in at an off-peak time and when the host asked if he could help us, I told him that I wasn't sure and that I had some questions about their gluten free menu and how they handle gluten free food...

    Our whole family has been traveling for the last week, and we brought most of the food with us and prepared more on the road. Even so, we found three occasions where we risked dining out, and they all worked out okay. It's the little things that get you all excited after living such a restricted lifestyle, but lemme tell you what we found. 1) A non-chain...

    Okay, well, the visit with the doctor was okay, but I didn't feel like I could speak freely in front of my daughter, so now I'm waiting on a call back. The good, no GREAT news is that now at 6 months gluten free, all her serology results are back in the normal range!! Her TTG was ridiculously high in December, and now it's 3!! that's right, three! Whew, I...

    I have been there and know what you mean. Some days (and occasionally nearly ten years later we still have times like that) I just felt that I had nothing left to give! My celiac daughter was so sick the whole time I was nursing her and I had to go through an elimination diet. I ended up eating no dairy or beef and she got some better, but we were clueless...

    Yes, it would!!

    She ACTS like a bullied child, but she's not! She usually wants me to stay and watch her activities, and the other kids really like her. She has spurned their invitations and to my perspective been rude to other kids, and then tells me that they don't like her. What is this way of thinking?? She is very sensitive and very competitive and genuinely gets her...

    No worries! It's not hijacked - it's shared information! It's been a long week in which my sweet daughter refused two parties, quit gymnastics, worked incessantly in the garden and swam like a fish with her sisters. I didn't fuss, didn't push her to break away from the family. I'm feeling that she needs time at home to be nurtured. My biggest fear is...

    She loves both peppermint tea and camomile tea. I really didn't realize that Pepto had aspirin in it! We have generally avoided pain killers except for children's Tylenol.

    Not sure how I gave that impression because I am definitely interested on getting help. A pediatric therapist might be very good for us, but we are quite far from any services like that. I want to ask the GI Doc for a recommendation when we go back in a couple if weeks. I don't even know of anyone whose child is in counseling of any kind in the rural area...

    She is getting everything she wants. How can you tell the difference between a spoiled brat that you've given in to too much, and a sick child that needs additional nurturing in order to feel safe in the world?? This parenting gig is TOUGH.

    Actually her thyroid function never has been tested. She goes for follow-up blood work in a couple of weeks, so I will see if they can check that then.
