Interesting! And yes i am gluten light. I only eat gluten when we go out for I dont even keep bread in the house (Just waffles for the other kids and frozen PB&J and yes separate toaster) It just irked me that the nurse was so UN-informed.

I had a full panel done. Complete. Everything was normal. :/ I emailed my Dr to have a celiac test done and his uninformed nurse emailed me back. I might just email my girls Ped GI to order the tests for me.

So we have been living mostly gluten-free for the girls (2 girls with celiac in the house) the they are doing great. Now i know i am the carrier for the gene. I know that celiac can come on at any time and when i was tested 2 years ago i was negative. But now i am having health issues (I am not completely gluten-free just the girls) swelling in joints, tired...

^^ Perfect thank you for the input about the lunch box. I hadn't even thought about warm foods. Ill put that on my list of questions to ask the preschools when we go and look around.

thank you! We will have to try sunbutter. I am also thinking i am going to find some good lunch meat.

I need some ideas. I was sending my DD with fruit salad and a single serve peanutbutter cup every single day. Well they are crazking down on nut butters and everyone gets tired of fruit and doesnt fill you up. SOOOO what do you send your kids with? ALSO i was wondering. I am sending my almost 4 year old celiac child to preschool (which is not gluten-free...

So basically my pots are glutening my girls? I cant afford a new set. My husband thinks i am crazy. (for thinking we need all these new things. ) oy

i think i will start with a food journal. Thanks guys! Could it be pots and pans hiding gluten maybe?

The only dairy she eats is cheese and butter. We have used almond milk for years because we thought she was dairy intolerant to begin with.. (All her issues started with birth) Im relieved to know that the stomach pains are normal.. But it saddens me that she is not going ot be better for a while longer. I wish this was quicker.

I am a mom of 4 kids. 2 with confirmed celiac disease. Our house is gluten free. The 2 who do not have celiac are allowed to eat gluten when we eat out and places other than home.

I cant really help you but i totally relate. My 3 year old has has issues since birth. She was 100% breast fed for 12 months and struggled with food until 2. She basically would not eat anything but peanut butter and cheese. She constantly had funky poops and she grew at a super slow pace. She was always 25th %. When i finally had enough of the constant...

So its been about 3 months since i completely cleaned out my kitchen. I have gotten all new cooking spoons, a new toaster and completely changed the way my family eats. We have not had any amount of gluten in the house since the end of school (a month ago) and even when there was bread i was really careful about cleaning up and using a new fresh paper plate...

Crying again. My middle daughter just had a positive for celiac. We will be better. I know. this is so hard!

OOOHHH okay! My DD must have that problem. She will not eat a tomato ever. she steers clear. Aww thats too bad! My niece is allergic to them as well

I eat lots of tomatoes? Why cant you have tomatoes?
