  1. I send in a package of her favorite gluten-free cookies and the teacher disburses them when they have a birthday party. My daughter is fine with that (2nd grade). I know the nurse offered her refrigerator to store things in too but she's fine with cookies.
  2. My daughters 2nd grade teachers gives me a heads up when they are having a class party. When they did gingerbread trains I brought in her own special foods. She also has a box of gluten-free cookies at the teachers desk so that when they celebrate a birthday she has a special treat as well. If they are literally giving her foods that have gluten they are...
  3. My daughter (7yrs) was diagnosed a year ago and is in the 95% in height. She is the tallest in her grade. Only when she was 10 months old and vomiting very often did her weight drop percentiles. Since that age she has been on track with her growth. Everyone seems to have unique sets of circumstances.
  4. Take it from the beginning. I took a huge list of ingrediants that had gluten in them food shopping with me - alone.

My Son has Lymes. My husband recently has joint pain in the ankle and it was cellulitis from a spider bite or psoriasis infection and caused tendonitis in the ankle...
  7. Thanks all - she has been sassy since birth!!! Could be a combination of all - her personality - hormones or minor CC. Happy Thanksgiving!
  8. yes - I replaced the toaster for my daughter. I also use those plastic cooking mats to prepare her food on so it doesn't touch other things from our food. You need your own package of things you dip back and forth into - like mayo, peanut butter, butter, nutella etc..and be sure to use different utensils for cooking gluten free foods.
  9. My Daughter is 7 and was diagnosed almost a year ago. Since then she has been gluten free with a few accidents that result in massive vomiting, stomach cramps, irritability and mood swings. My concern now is that she seems to have mood swings quite often. She's seemingly content and happy and at bed time especially, her mood turns on a dime. She's angry and...
