    quinoa and bean salad veggie chili (eat it cold) veggie sandwich on lettuce (using cheese and/or hummus along with whatever else you'd put on a sandwich, like tomatoes, onions, sprouts, etc.) rice cake w/ peanut butter (wrap is plastic wrap) homemade muffins (almond flour is great for a heartier, more filing item) oh, and drink at least 8oz of water...

    To be fair, it is not clear, but if you read between the lines, it looks like they are petitioning not to have to say "artificially sweetened" on a front label, which does NOT mean that they would be able to leave it off of the ingredient list. These are two different things and they are, as best I can tell, regulated somewhat differently.

    I sort of wonder if this would fall under false advertising. I highly doubt you'd get anywhere without paying an awful lot of money.

    I'm glad to hear he's feeling better so quickly!!

    I buy the unfrozen Udi's from Trader Joes all the time. I put it in the freezer as soon as I get home and it's fine. Everyone likes something different, but honestly, make your own. Make a big batch of pancakes and freeze them yourself. Way tastier.

    I don't make special food for my daughter. She eats what we eat, and since I have to be gluten free, the vast majority of what she eats is gluten free. Then I don't have to worry when she tries to feed me her crackers!!

    If you're nursing, you need to gluten free as well. With my daughter, though she doesn't have to be gluten free (as far as we can tell) I do, so she gets what I get. We did BLW'ing, so no purees or packaged baby stuff. She started with avocados, pears, sweet potato fries, roasted carrots, etc. I highly encourage looking up more about baby-led weaning...

    do you still have a mixed household? honestly, that's the first thing I would change.

    I would absolutely, without hesitation, look them in the eye, and with full sincerity, ask "With what scientific evidence do you make that statement?"

    Wait - they agree that every time he gets gluten, he has horrible symptoms, but they won't diagnose him until he has horrible symptoms for a month? This is completely illogical, and I would point it out to them. Diagnosis CAN be made on dietary response alone.

    I have a toddler, so I've gotten used to packing food everywhere I go. Really, that seems the easiest answer for me. Then I don't have to find a restaurant and wait around for food either.

    Assuming you have removed all sources of contamination (sneaking crackers from other kids, other care providers inadvertently feeding gluten, commercial playdoh, access to grain-based pet foods, shared kitchen equipment like toasters, shared condiments like peanut butter, and so on), then yes, I would expect to see improvement (not necessarily complete, of...

    The intestinal reaction can be self-sustaining for up to two weeks. So, damage is still being done up to two weeks after you've gotten glutened. Then you need time to recover. I know it's hard to be patient, but that's really all you can do.

    It is totally normal, industry standard, for subscriptions to be officially based on number of publications, not length of time. Hence the wording $xx/yr (6 issues). Not disagreeing they should have handled it better, just noting that it's very normal for the number of issues to be the key factor in price, not length of time.

    No, I'm going to argue that doing it with oranges would be bad too. Not because someone might be allergic, or just not want them, but because she's showing disrespect. Even at two, I'm working with my daughter on the concept of respecting the answers people give you to your questions. And this lady is NOT doing that.

    Keep looking for other things. You probably aren't drinking any alcohol, or eating lunch meat (other no-no's during pregnancy), so think of this just the same way. I mostly lived off avocados my first trimester. And eggs. If you're using store bought gluten free breads and muffins, try making your own (or have your SO make them for you). It may go...

    nuts, seeds, avocados, olive/coconut/nut oils are all good choices. cook your veggies with some oil (especially good if roasting in the oven). add sesame seeds to your salads. and walnuts to your yogurt. make homemade granola with seeds/nuts/coconut oil.

    If your LO isnt gluten-intolerant, There isn't any evidence that it will cause any problems.

    This. But also, people actually cannot "drag" you somewhere against your will (legally, anyway, since if they did, it would be kidnapping). I'm not trying to be pedantic; I feel it is an important distinction to realize that you are agreeing to go somewhere you otherwise would not go for the feelings of other people, not that you are being forced to...

    I'm in the "make most of the shared stuff gluten free". My husband has his granola bars, Fruit Loops, and wheat-based buns. But all the meals I cook, and we eat together are gluten free. (Outside of those buns on hamburgers, of course.) Chicken soup, beef stew, lots of stir-fries, bbq'ed meat and veggies, roasted veggies, salads... We just eat foods that...

    Call both doctors and get the test results. The IgA antibody tests may not be helpful, but the IgG ones can still tell you some useful information. You can also check the endoscopy report to find out if there *was* something to find but not "enough" for the GI to diagnose celiac.

    What about for lunch? Breakfast? What was she exposed to during the day? Is there a stomach bug going around where you are? Was the chicken fully cooked? Sometimes, tracking down a culprit requires big-picture thinking, and sometimes, it's impossible.
  23. tarnalberry
    Does she play with playdough? Is your house gluten free? Do you have pets eating gluten-containing food? Did you separate out any shared condiments (peanut butter, jam, butter, etc.)? Are there any stomach viruses going around your area right now (like norovirus was going around Portland)?

    I also had chronic migraines and was on preventative meds for them. Gluten free didn't make much difference (they came on after I had been gluten and dairy free for a long time). For me, I needed to work with a chiropractor to resolve posture/alignment issues.

    Oh yes, I agree - mourning is normal, and necessary. And like most mourning, it goes in cycles and I know I'll experience it again. but each cycle gets a bit easier. It does take time, but you'll get there!
