I am thrilled that we are finally getting some answers My youngest son was diagnosed with diabetes in July. On Thanksgiving weekend he was ill with a stomach bug that took him a long time to get over. Since then he's had constant issues- loose stool, really foul smelling, distended boated belly, poor growth, etc. That immediately sent up red flags...

Yep- both boys were diagnosed at age 1yr. Our endo was pretty surprised to see us in the E.R. The baby is so much like his brother that they may as well be clones. They look the same, have the same medical issues, and even have the same goofy personality

Hi everyone. I think my little one may be showing signs of celiac but I can't remember how it presents in infants. My older son was diagnosed at age 3 so his symptoms were easier for me to recognize. Some history- my 1 1/2 yr old was diagnosed with diabetes after his 1st birthday. He had the stomach flu a month ago and since then has been miserable...

You guys are awsome!!! Thank you so much for your help

Hi everyone My son is going into the first grade and starts school next week. Now that he's going to be in school all day I need some kid friendly lunch ideas that I can pack for him. What are some of your kids favorite lunches?

I continue to keep Megan and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs.

How sweet you are! With everything that you're going through right now, you took the time to think of my family. Thank you so much Hugs.

I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. Hugs.

I hope your son is ok. I know how you feel, my infant was just diagnosed with diabetes on Monday. Now I have 2 diabetics, both of them diagnosed at age 1. Hugs.

Hi kayjay. Diabetes runs in my family so I was fortunate enough to recognize some of the signs. Tony started out by getting a little thin looking. Looking back, I can see the signs about a month before he was hospitalized. He was really scrawny- that's how he got his nickname Bones- and just looked tired and ill. I kept trying to get him in to see the...

Yes, they can develop diabetes. My son was 12 months old when he was diagnosed. He was in DKA when he entered the hospital with blood sugars of 600+. Please have her tested if you are concerned. My son symptoms at that age where- extreme thirst ( he would sit at the sink and cry for more water) peeing through his diapers at night, large weight loss, fatigue...

I'm glad to hear that Megan is having some better days. I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Big hugs to you

Yes, gluten makes my son's blood sugars rise. In fact, he had a gluten accident at school on Tuesday and was in DKA yesterday It takes a couple of days for his blood sugars to stabalize afterwards.

I've been doing a lot of reading in the last couple of months and seem to be getting some conflicting info. Some sources say that a little contamination isn't harmful while others are adamant that it is harmful. I try to be very careful with my son's food- he has his own butter, pb, jelly, etc. But I worry that he might be getting gluten via cc and I wouldn...

I'm sorry to hear that Megan is having such a rough time. I will keep your family in my thoughts.
