    Hi, I am a mother of a celiac son and I always test negative for celiac although I know I carry the gene as my father has it as well as my son. I recently was tested due to almost daily stomach pain and now constipation. I have always been more on the constipated side but now need to take laxatives frequently to help (my son's symptoms have always been...

    Is anyone else in Jersey? I keep looking in all the store I go to and the only Chex I am finding gluten free are the Rice Chex which are good but do get soggy quicker that the corn.

    My son is 8 and was diagnosed with Celiac at age 4. The GI we were using never told me to go off dairy and we couldn't understand why his symptoms continued. Two years ago we got a second opinion and during a colonoscopy this doctor noticed white bumps in my sons colon which he said signified a food reaction. He said to try taking him off dairy and he...

    Hi, when you say, "auras" what are you referring to? For about a year now, more so now than ever, I have been getting this wavy vision in the corner of my eyes. It comes on suddenly and last for up to 10 minutes during which I feel completely wiped out. Sometimes it even come on like a whole in my vision. I went to the doctor and they said optical migrains...

    Thank you for the info. We live in Roselle Park, about 5 minutes down the parkway from Clark. I am so excited. My non Celiac son just asked me tonight if we are ever going to order pizza again. I told him probably not since it is unfair to his brother. We have traveled very far in the past to find pizza places that serve gluten free pizza.

    I am waiting on the results of my Celiac panel right now. My son has celiac and so does my father so I obviously carry the gene. I have some syptoms such as gas, bloating, constipation, and stomach pain after meals. The doctor was questioning why I even wanted to be tested as he thought with my family history and symptoms, going gluten free was the best...

    Hi, my celiac son's permanent front teeth have a little white staining on them as well. But my sister and I also had stained teeth as children and neither one of us has any illness. Also, my friend's son has darker staining on his back teeth and also has no illnesses. But it is not decay. A dentist can better explain why this happens.

    How about the Time Travelers Wife? Has anyone else read that? I had trouble getting started with it because the concept is so strange but once I got started and finished I was so glad I read it.

    This book was so good. I also read a good one, I believe it was called, My Sisters Keeper about a girls who was conceived to help her sister survive cancer through transplants and such. But, the best book I have read in years, was a book called, and I am probably spelling this wrong, Moloka'i. It was about when Hawaii was struck with Leporsy (sp?) years...

    Hi, my son, a non celiac as far as we know (still waiting on biopsy results) has some trouble with food. He has poor muscle tone which made his mouth muscles very weak and he pretty much got used to eating soft foods like pasta. The doctor said I have to increase his protein intake and he really will not eat meat. He doesn't like eggs much and can't handle...

    Actually we are waiting for the results of his endoscopy biopsy now. He had been having a lot of heart burn and the doctor wanted to scope for damage from acid reflux. While he was in there he went into the intestines and biopsied for celiac. Nicole

    I wish they would make corn chex gluten free as well. I really like them better and I think my son would too.

    Hi, does anything show up in blood work for someone who is gluten intolerant but does not have Celiac? If a child does not have the celiac gene is there any reason to do blood work on that child or just try the diet instead?

    When my son is glutned or ingests dairy he becomes very hyperactive. On top of that he becomes very rough. Anyone who plays with him gets hurt. He isn't being mean and he isn't angry. But all of a sudden they can be playing and he will wrestle someone to the floor. I drives me crazy because other people don't understand what food can do to someone and...

    I would say you definitely need to find out the reason she is still having symptoms. Because if it were just gluten alone, than she should not be symptomatic. That being said, is she the kind of kid who is dramatic about being sick with colds and such? My nephew is the kind of kid who even with the slightest cold thinks he needs to stay home. So my sister...

    We are going to Disney in August. I have already contacted Disney and they sent me a list of their restaurants that serve gluten free options along with a form to fill out regarding where our reservations are so that they can speak to the chefs. Also, my travel agent made all of the reservations and informed them about my sons diet. But what about the...

    We also went through many pediatricians. When my youngest son was 5 months old and could only drink 3 ounces per bottle and then had little interest for the next feeding, the doc told me, "if he is not complaining than why are you?". I explained that he was born 10 pounds 8 ounces and came home from the hosptial drinking 4 ounces per bottle and I expected...

    My 6 year old niece wanted to know if Paula was embarassed because of her boobs falling out. I found that to be an odd choice of a dress (or shirt, what was it?).

    This season the boys can really out sing all of the girls. Even Chickezee was better than most of the girls. I think most of the girls should have gone before David Hernandez and Chickezee if the compitition was based on talent alone and not popularity. The only girls I think should still be here are Carly and Brooke. I can understand why some people...

    Rainforest Cafe can be very tricky because their food comes pre packaged and they basically just heat it up. For example, you can't order a hotdog without the bun from the kids menu because the hotdogs come packaged in the bun . I find it a little odd. Regardless, I wasn't getting anywhere with e mails either until I sent a very nasty one complaining...

    My son is a celiac and is dairy intolerant. I just want to point out that when constipation is the symptom, as with my son, it takes a little longer to see good results. Don't forget, you don't get backed up in a day. It was weeks before saw improvement. And now if he gets glutened or dairy, he gets a stomach ache but the constipation can show up over...

    A lot of people here have a lot of faith in enterolab. My son was diagnosed through blood and biopsy but he was already 4. Your doctors comment doesn't surprise me because even my son's gastro won't listen to anything except blood and biopsy. The best test though is the diet. If you are really concerned that your child is getting a false positive from...

    "no cupcakes for Esa today..sorry, but I did what you said"? What does that mean? Did the rest of the class get cupcakes? What did your daughter get then? Maybe because I am hearing it second hand, but that sounds very flip to me. If you haven't already, I would ask her to write a letter to the parents requesting advanced notice to parties so that you...
