    Blueridge Mountains... I wish I was on a motorcycle driving through them!!! I know it is tough when they aren't enjoying their foods. I don't know if you have access to El-Peto products, but I feel that they have the best pancake mix around. Good Luck

    IBS is usually what the doctor diagnosis when he has no clue. If the biopsy showed Celiac...then you have Celiac. I didn't have positive blood work, but I had a positive biopsy. I'd get a second opinion if you can.

    It is wonderful that he is going to the special Olympics...you must be SO proud. I'm sure he'll be just fine with the meals you sent. The Outback has delicious gluten-free food and we have never had a problem there. Let us know how it went.

    I'm sorry to hear about your son. On my daughters b-day I made a gluten-free Barbie cake with a wilton pan. Everyone loved it. The reason I didn't make a cake from scratch was because I didn't find out about my niece's milk allergy with enough notice to research a good recipe. I felt overwhelmed making the other dishes for such a large group. Next time...

    This was exactly my thoughts and feelings from the beginning. It was just the way it played out that bothered my hubby and myself. We are an open and honest family, and the secrecy and sneakiness shocked us! It is nice to know that someone else sees it my way. Thanks

    You are right, I'm sure their reasoning was similar to mine. Thanks for the perspective

    Hi, Your flourless cake sounds wonderful! I don't believe that Cherrybrook Kitchens ships to Canada, but I'll look into that again. My daughter already goes to daycare ( I send all her food) and she handles it very well day to day, but she seems to struggle with birthdays. I do have that " this is how it is" attitude most of the time with her...

    Thanks Gina, You are right, they probably didn't mean to hurt our feelings. I forgot to mention that I had already had a gluten-free cake for my husband on his actual b day. The day of the celebration I made Ken's ( our cousin) favorite dinner and his favorite nacho dip and the ice cream was his favorite. I guess I thought I worked really hard to make...

    Hi Everyone, I was so happy to read this post... I just posted about a family problem of my own. My daughter has just gotten very sensitive (emotionally) as well. It is a tough one to deal with. I mostly cook gluten-free foods. I keep regular bread for my son's lunches but that is about it. We all love the gluten-free pancakes ( El Peto mix is...

    Hi Everyone, My daughter was diagnosed 1 1/2 years ago. She is 4 now. At first she coped well emotionally, but now she is having a tough time at birthday's etc. Well this past weekend was my husbands and cousin's birthday get together, I hosted and chose the menu. Since they are grown ups we decided to skip cake, there were 14 people and gluten-free cake...

    Hi, We just visited disney in May. I would recommend taking a thermos along. I found that they were accomodating, but they would not heat up any food for my daughter even when I was purchasing other menu items from them . Cinderella's castle was the highlight for us... the meal was fantastik. Le Cellier was wonderful if you like steak and ceaser salad...

    Hi Everyone, I am due to see my doctor on Tuesday. I will ask her about it then. I have done some reading that does say swelling is common with food allergies.
  13. natalie
    When should I see an improvement in my leg and ankle swelling? I have been gluten free for 2 weeks now. Thanks Natalie

    Hi, My daughter presented with constipation and vommiting. At first the doctor also thought Hirshprung's as well. Her ultrasound showed a tremendous amount of gas which was causing her pain. It turned out to be Celiac, not Hirshprungs. Even a year and a half after her diagnosis I have her on lactulose which helps keep her bm soft. It is not a laxative...

    In my area ( Ontario ) certain ice creams are gluten-free, but the icing they use to decorate is not.
  16. natalie
    Wow! Thank you everyone. I don't feel alone anymore. I did sort of confront ( in a nice way) my mom. I think she is in denial about possibly having it herself. I also explained about the aches and pains I have that I now realize are due to Celiac. She was pretty good about it. My sister is my sister. She is a police officer , and has that tough skin. I...

    Thank you gfgypsyqueen, I agree about the cancer comment. I said the same thing to my husband, I would get more support if I had that. You are right about keeping my family healthy. That is the most important thing. I guess I just have to be patient and maybe they will come around. Natalie

    Hi Everyone, Just wondering if anyone else's family starting acting weird after diagnosis? My daughter was diagnosed 1 1/2 years ago. She was 2 at the time, malnourished, vommiting etc. Once diagnosed I read every book on celiac that I could find. As soon as I started reading I thought I had it. Not the same symptoms as my daughter, but headaches, depression...
  19. natalie
    Yes, yes, yes!!!! I have had headaches my whole life. I remember being in public school going to the nurses station. I would lay in a completely dark room, the pain was excruciating. Eventually I would vomit fall asleep and feel a little better when I woke up. This all happened while I was 6+ years old. The headaches were a major symptom of my celiac. ...

    When I was pregnant with my first I took a picture of my husband at the breakfast table eating his cereal... he was wearing his parka, a winter hat and mittens ( in July) because I had the ac so cold. I used to be so hot!

    I live in Canada as well. In my area ( Waterloo Ontario) I waited about 7 months to the the GI doctor and then 4 weeks to have the scope. It was well worth the wait because my scope was positive. Because my daughter was diagnosed at 2 with celiac the doctor took me a little more serious. I had all negative blood work except for the Igg was slightly positive...

    When did he start losing weight? Maybe he has some of his intestines working properly, therefore absorbing the fat. Maybe severe damage hasn't occured yet. I would start the gluten-free diet because his numbers are high. Natalie

    It's nice to hear I am not the only person with negative blood work and a positive biopsy. I am concerned about my father who has suffered from severe depression, balance issues, white matter on the brain ( they are calling it early dementia), losing weight, upset stomach. They have done the celiac blood work after I insisted, it came back negative. I would...

    Thanks Carla. Do you know if doctors can do other tests for casein allergies? Natalie
  25. natalie
    Does that mean forever, or just until my intestines start to heal? Natalie
