I figured I am already going to have to for breakfast. She gets tired of taking sandwiches everywhere. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just one girl, but there will be others that my daughter doesn't know. She will have to explain why she is eating different. That is fine for her friends that she sees all the time, they get it. It is hard for the first...

My 10 yo daughter is supposed to go to a sleepover this weekend. I was OK with it, but now I am not sure. She was dx'd in January and has been doing great. However, we were staying at a hotel for a softball tournament and I thought I did everything in my power to avoid any problems, but she ended up with a stomach ache all 3 mornings. This is the first...

Interesting to read. My daughter is only 10, but will have to deal with this some time in the future. Of course, by then, so many things may have changed.

Whole foods are just that; meats, veggies, fruit, whole (non-gluten) grains, etc. I would try it for a while until things calm down and then add in other foods. A lot of places say to skip the gluten free substitutions (i.e nuggets, pizza, fish sticks etc..) until you are more healed. It does mean cooking from scratch most of the time.

I don't know how old your daughter is. Mine is 10 and was dx'd in January. Mine was still having severe stomach pains after going on the gluten-free diet. She ended up with a colonoscopy and another endoscopy. Her small intestine was almost healed after 1 month on the gluten-free diet and there were no signs of and IBD's. We finally concluded her stomach...

My daughter is 10. She likes the gluten-free breads and baked goods now. She never liked their wheat counterparts. So, she is not feeling deprived. The only thing that would be nice about a pill is to prevent CC. Otherwise, we are good with the gluten-free diet.

We have had good luck with Macaroni Grill.

We use Evo. I switched our cats very soon after my daughter's diagnosis.

My daughter doesn't watch much TV, so I hadn't heard about this. How awful! I do have to say though, that Walt Disney World is absolutely fantastic with special diets. They treated my daughter like royalty at every meal. So, it isn't company-wide. Someone obviously made a stupid decision not only to create the episode, but to air it as well.

DD also 10 was dx'd in January. She also had headaches every day. It turned out to be stress in her case. Good luck!

Buy a gluten-free baking book and make your own. My 10 yo likes Udi's, but she likes my home made bread a lot better.

I know how you feel. I was feeding out family whole wheat this and whole wheat that. Now, I feel like I was poisoning my daughter. I know I wasn't because I didn't know, but hindsight is 20/20. My daughter is 10 and was dx'd at the end of January. She had an endoscopy at that time. She was still having a lot of pain and other problems, so we were...

Granted, My daughter was only 10 when diagnosed, but she had intolerances to whey, casein and soy. She was gluten-free, DF and SF for a while. She is now back on soy and dairy. Test showed she is still somewhat lactose intolerant still but we expect that to clear up soon.

My daughter has both a casein and a whey intolerance. The whey is the liquid, the casein is the solid. Hard cheeses would have next to now whey in them, but milk has plenty,

I am in the same boat. My 10 yo daughter was just diagnosed 2 weeks ago. Her main symptom was extreme abdominal pain. She has been gluten-free for 2 weeks, Dairy and soy free for 1 week since we found out she was intolerant to those as well. Her pain has not changed at all. It is still a 9 out of 10 on the pain scale. I put her on a very bland diet...
