    Thanks so much for the encouragement. I feel a little overwhelmed. I maybe went overboard on buying gluten-free foods this weekend as I am in fear they will be hungry if I am at an allnighter for work. Better too much than too little I say. Our big day for Mr12 is tomorrow, and I cant wait to get him onto safe food afterwards.

    Like Marcindy3 I feel relieved to read this topic, and grateful for the wisdom, especially about not making food a battle. My son has his endo tomorrow but is so unwell he barely eats and when he does he throws it up pretty quickly. His weight has plummted, his BMI is now 12 and he skin and bone. He faints from exhaustion and spends most of his days sleeping...

    Yes there is a possibility you could be pregnant. You need to do a pregnancy test if you are concerned.

    I second Evening Primrose Oil, but a good quality flaxseed oil is probably better. If you are not taking some fish oils, start on these too. Not only will the EPO/flaxseed ease PMS symptoms but bowel motions are easier too, due to the oil effect. Bowel issues during periods are really common.

    I have no wisdom about the celiac effect but wanted to sympathise. I had an abscess last year and I was on codeine, tramadol and voltaren while waiting for antibiotics to kick in and a dental appointment and MAN do I agree with you. It was the worst pain ever and childbirth doesnt even come close to that kind of intensity. I actually considered stepping in...

    I know its completely different, but my child with anaphylaxis to fish and seafood reacts to the smell of tuna. I was told this was impossible by a doctor at the hospital. His next exposure caused full anaphylaxis and thank God I had his epi pen handy and the ambulance arrived quickly. I told the same doctor "I f%@king told you he reacted to tuna smell....

    I think it would just be easier to cook everyone the gluten free pasta despite the increase in cost. I have found a couple of brands of jar pasta sauce that are definitely gluten free so have switched to them. My children are half Italian so missing out on pasta would be life altering for them, lol. The biggest heart break has been throwing...

    Yes everyone else in the house is negative. After the second child was diagnosed, we all got tested. I suspect the 10 year old may develop it though as he has the bags under the eyes that the other two developed. All grandparents are dead. The childrens father is estranged and although I let him know and suggested testing the reply was "obviously...

    Hi everyone, I feel so relieved finding this forum. A quick intro: I am in New Zealand and incredibly grateful to have found a huge amount of gluten free foods available, however two of my 7 children have just been diagnosed as coeliac. This came about because my number 6 child aged 12 has been sick for a long time. He had severe reflux from birth and was...
