ARCHIVED Starting New Preschool
racheltom replied to peppyking's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My daughter just started a new preschool, too, and they've been great about her celiac disease. They are providing gluten free play doh, which I assumed I'd have to send in. I get a little confused when parents on these boards discuss 504s. I'm an elementary school teacher, so I'm very familiar with the process. I have never heard of students being... -
ARCHIVED 12 Month Old With Symptoms (Cross Post)
racheltom posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hello everyone, My daughter was diagnosed with celiac just after her 2nd birthday. She is now almost 4 and is doing very well on the gluten free diet - a very healthy kid! We have no other family history of this, and now my son just turned one, and he has been having diahrea for a few weeks. (Lots of undigested food in his diapers). It seems quite early... -
ARCHIVED Parents Of Pre-Schoolers: Play Dough Question
racheltom replied to racheltom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hi Annie, thanks for your reply. I have another question... I Know I probably sound like a cheapskate but I feel like the school should provide the play doh. It is so generous of you to provide it! We pay an arm and a leg for full day pre school so I feel like I shouldn't have to also provide play doh. I realize its not that much money to make it at home... -
ARCHIVED Toddler Friendly Snacks
racheltom posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My 3 year old is a healthy eater and eats a lot of raw veggies, fresh fruits, etc. She is also a good meat eater. Since her celiac diagnosis, we have gotten into a bad habit of eating the processed gluten free crackers/pretzels for snacks. I'd like to replace these with protein based snacks. Any ideas? I've tried to sell her on almonds but she's not interested... -
ARCHIVED Parents Of Pre-Schoolers: Play Dough Question
racheltom posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hi everyone, My 3 year old was diagnosed one year ago and so far so good. She is gaining weight and takes pride in telling everyone "I eat gluten free!" She has had two isolated severe reactions where she vomited after accidentally eating gluten. But we are careful with her diet and this hasn't happened since. She is starting preschool soon... -

You are right. Thank you. I'm just not looking forward to watching her go through an endoscopy at only 2. -
ARCHIVED Diagnosis
racheltom replied to racheltom's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for the reply. This is a GI Specialist that gave us this suggestion of doing the endoscopy, but keeping gluten in the diet. I just feel icky continuing to give her gluten in her diet when she may be getting sick from it. Hope this makes sense. -
I'm looking for advice on navigating the process of getting a diagnosis. My 2-year-old daughter has been having symptoms for about a month now (consistent diahrea and distended belly) and the specialist we saw said he is predicting (not diagnosing) celiac. He wants to do an endoscopy which they weren't able to schedule this procedure until mid-January....
