ARCHIVED Deciding To Make House gluten-free
skipper30 posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I am wondering how those of you who made your entire house gluten-free approached this with your other children. We have four children ages 6 1/2, 4(Celiac), 2 1/2 and 11 months. We have just decided that it is too hard to keep crumbs off of toys and various other things. The 6 year old is great about being very careful...but the 2 year old is a crumb... -
ARCHIVED Glutened 5 Year Old?
skipper30 replied to hannahsue01's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
hannahsue01.... Our 4 year old complains of knee pain when glutened. That was a huge complaint he had (among a few others) before going gluten free as well. I am probably not a lot of help...and a little late to respond to your post...Hope your daughter is feeling better now!! -
ARCHIVED Peeling Skin On Palms
skipper30 replied to skipper30's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I am wondering if it is ezecma or psorisis. My husband and his mother both suffer from psorisis. It is our olderst son(6) and they have been doing this off and on for a few years now. He is in a peeling cycle now and I am afraid he is going to pick at them them until they bleed or get infected. It seems worse right now than it has been. I just need to spend... -

ARCHIVED What To Do
skipper30 replied to skipper30's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thanks to you all! I think that being away from home has me very frazzled! This is our first Thanksgiving post Celiac and that has me nervous anyway. Then add the baby doing whatever it is that he is doing...just more than I could bear Tuesday!! Thanks for your help!! Happy Holidays! -
A week ago or so I posted about our 10 month old and his sudden bout with what I call throwing up. He has done it again and there was alot of it. We are out of town presently and won't be back home until Sunday. Is there ANY way to tell the difference between Reflux and Celiac? Can a child have reflux, it go away and come back out of nowhere. This has been...

I don't usually post here, but my son has something going on (again) and I am confused. He has been gluten free since his dx in Jan 06. He got glutened in the last few days and has, as of this evening developed these small bumps...some look like a blister or tiny trail of blisters and some look like a blackhead. They are in small "patches" in many areas...

ARCHIVED I Am Trying Not To Borrow Worry
skipper30 posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I am trying my best not to read too much into what is going on here, but I need some guidance from parents who are in the know... Our youngest son(almost 10 months) has started "throwing up". I personally do not call it spitting up...it is way more than that. Before now, he has spit up less than 5 times. I know this because I was thinking earlier in... -

DISCLAIMER.....if I made this up then ignore it and chalk it up mothering 4 boys, 6 and under!! Does the sticker that comes on fruit have a wheat base to it?? If so is washing the fruit ok or should it be peeled? And who do you check with to verify this information?? Thanks.. Dallas -

ARCHIVED Ds And Bowel Issues?
skipper30 replied to andersonfam06's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Your situation sounds familiar to ours. Our son was originally dx'ed(by a GI) with chronic d, then by an ER doc with chronic C..(very long story) when we finally got to our "on the ball" GI, we asked about the conflicting dx's. She said that he actually was both. Because the Celiac was causing him to not completely empty his bowels when he would go...then... -
ARCHIVED Tyler's Doctor Is Frutstrating Me...
skipper30 replied to Shalia's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Ask the doc if he wants to schedule a time to come over and help take care of your child while he is dealing with the effects of being "challenged". I love how people who go to school and spend THOUSANDS of dollars to get all of this knowledge can be so ignorant and thoughtless sometimes! I agree with the others, you know what makes him sick...I'd let... -

I am so sorry! I have a MIL/FIL like that too! She is a piece of work! I wish I had a great bit of advice for you...but I still struggle with what, how and when to put my foot down with mine!! -
I have been asked by our 4 yo to make him a cheesecake for Thanksgiving. I need a recipe though...He wants a New York Style one. I have got the crust thing figured out, but not the filling.

I am looking for a gluten-free version of Fruit Loops(or the like). Is there anything out there other than Fruity Pebbles? We have had a request for that this morning...I thought someone "out here" might know! Thanks....Dallas -
ARCHIVED Super Bubble Bubble Gum
skipper30 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Does anyone know if Super bubble bubble gum is gluten free? I can not find anything on the Hershey's website that even admits they are the manufacturer of this...they are. Of course...I do not have anything to look at to check. I was hoping that someone else might know or have it laying around and could check on it. I really wish companies had someone... -

ARCHIVED Labeling Question
skipper30 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am wondering if, when a product label says gluten free...does that mean gluten free or wheat free? Does it depend on the company? I am wondering if companies in the mainstream know the difference between true gluten free and wheat free...also I am wondering if the companies have to declare wheat in ANY shape, form or fashion that is in or associated with... -

We had/have that same problem with 3 of our kiddos. We found out that it was the lining that was in the diapers...both the Huggies and Luvs. Pampers...the more expensive in that brand) was the only one that didn't cause that. Luvs and Pampers are all the same parent company just different packaging. We are also seeing a rash on the baby right now and am considering... -
