Daughter diagnosed with Celiac Disease 9/16/2013

    I give my daughter Raw probiotics (the one for kids) by Garden of Life. No gluten, no dairy, no soy, no corn. All fruit and vegetable sources.

    You can absolutely breastfeed while gluten free! Our entire family has been gluten free since my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac a little over 2 years ago. That means my 9 month old has never had any exposure to gluten, in utero, or through breastfeeding, and now through the introduction of solids. He has no deficiency, growing like a weed, starting solids...

    Oh you poor thing, I relate to this SO much!! At age 2, my DD was not growing like the other kids. She dropped down into the tenth percentile. Every meal was a huge battle, she never wanted to eat, and afterwards would complain that her stomach hurt, or even half way through the meal. We couldn't figure out if she was trying to get out of eating, or what...

    My daughter's main symptom was also constipation. She is three and was just diagnosed about a month ago. We have been 100% gluten free since then, and still having some issues with her bowel movements. She is at least no longer straining so hard that she is bleeding, so I am taking comfort in the small improvements. How often does she have a movement? If...

    A lot of your described symptoms can definitely be linked with Celiac Disease, but if his fatigue, back pain, sore throat symptoms are not even improving at this point, there is probably something additional. This may some random, but have you had him checked for mono? I got it from traveling a few years ago, with identical symptoms to what you are describing...

    I can relate to how you feel, my three year old daughter was just diagnosed about a month ago. I feel just awful wondering if that is why she has always been so so thin. Since going gluten free, for the first time in her life, she will not stop eating! Just to make a quick trip to the grocery store, I have to pack a few snacks because she wants to eat...

    Wow, I am so so sorry for all of the hardships you are going through, and have gone through in your life! You are so brave to keep at it, and to not give yourself up to an endless list of pills to mask the symptoms, like most doctors would love you to do ($$$). How have you been feeling since going gluten free? I think the best thing you can do, is to listen...

    I actually got a reply back from the U.S. distributor: JFC International Inc. for the brand of miso we use (Yamabuki) and they said that their Yamabuki shinshu shiro miso (milder miso) is gluten free! YAY! They also sent me a list of all of their gluten free items (as of 4/26/2013): Botan Rice and Botan rice candy Daifuku-Kyoshin Ujikintoki Dynasty Golden...

    I'm glad I found this post! My daughter goes in this wed and I am so worried! She is only three, and has a HUGE fear of doctors. I am sure that the gas mask to put her to sleep with be, by far, the worst part for her. My plan is to have a present and some snacks and juice ready for when she wakes up. I am hoping that the distraction of a surprise present...

    Thanks for the info! I think I had read about the caramel color in one of your other posts, but what about caramel color produced in other countries? Do they also use corn, or is there the possibility of gluten based colors there? Also, a follow up question in regards to miso made from barley culture... if they are imported to the states, would they then...

    New to Celiac as my daughter was just recently diagnosed, and trying to weed through my pantry. The Japanese brands of foods I have eaten all my life have me particularly nervous. A big one is Bull-dog tonkatsu sauce. If any of you have tried it, you probably understand the fandom behind it. the ingredients are listed as follows: water high fructose...
