    I don't have experience with enterolab. The tests are not very accurate for a child 18 months. Your child should be screened because you are a diagnosed Celiac and you are noticing symptoms. The eczema and the "nagging feeling" along with croup, colds, and "D" are possibly symptoms. The pediatrician's office probably thought I was crazy. I would bring...

    Unless you are into hurting yourself you probably won't consume gluten to go through testing. A gluten challenge can be dangerous. My opinion is the testing is not accurate enough to prolong the damage gluten is doing to your body. Just stay on the gluten free diet and say you are gluten intolerant. L.

    I just wanted to add to TCA's post, that the testing for Celiac can be inconclusive. My testing as an adult - was all negative from the doctor's opinion of my tests. You need to ask for all of the tests listed, print out the list and take it with you. Even if the tests come back negative - put him on the gluten free diet AFTER the testing has been completed...

    OHH BOY!!!? I've been busy painting this house here and sidetracked by a treasure hunt. It's gonna take days to read all this! How on earth did all this happen without me, the Hall's cough drop queen? L.

    The ped. gastro. said those tests were inaccurate and useless.

    I think a good thorough cleaning will be enough. The bread maker I had was very easy to clean, that is why I say that. I just bake the bread in the oven because some of the recipes require mixing for a longer time period and the consistency is like a thick cake batter. I love the Bette Hagman French bread recipe! It is perfect right from the oven, but...

    My friend has PCO and I was doing light research for her. She has a happy healthy one year-old and is expecting in April. She is 33 years old. You will be a lot healthier on a gluten free diet, give yourself some time to heal and adjust. L.

    I would wait a while before even trying the bread. It is way better toasted or grilled. Give yourselves time to forget what normal bread is like before you try gluten-free CF replacement stuff. We like the Chebe bread mixes. L.

    Have you researched the PCO and found it to be almost like a pre-diabetic condition? There are some articles that suggest there is a link. L.

    Yes, you bring your own cake and ice cream. With kids you have to bring a safe favorite type of candy and snack food too. It is best to pack an assortment that your kids can pick out the replacement. You have to trade them for all the forbidden foods they get handed to them. Call ahead and find out the menu so you can make a similar meal. The really...

    I think it is normal to go through this stage of denial, anger, self pity, and the list will go on. You are just going to deal with the emotions as they come. You can find a gluten free casein free replacement for just about everything. So you need to find safe foods you enjoy, starting with gluten-free Cf birthday cake and ice cream for that party. ...

    Call ahead and speak to the manager. They change menus quite often. We went and had three choices that were gluten free. L.

    My best friend's mom was accused of causing my friend's unexpained illness. It was during the many appointments and tests she was having done. She was being tested for Celiac at the time and was later diagnosed with Lupus. If her diagnoses hadn't come when it did, if the doctor had been more insistent, the accusation was all ready made what could the situation...

    There was a case mentioned in Danna Korn's book, Kids with Celiac Disease, where an undiagnosed child was removed from the parents. The child's symptoms were the same in the foster home and then testing was done to diagnose Celiac. (Don't panic - it took two years to get the child back into their home. No one in that scenario knew about Celiac, so half...

    When I was sixteen I was getting nosebleeds about twice a day. Didn't have bad allergies and wasn't picking. There was some type of sore that wouldn't heal. I ended up getting it cauterized (yikes). It is common to get sores in the mouth from celiac disease vitamin def. so I don't see why it wouldn't be a connection. L.

    Is that "THE" Dr. Fusano that has written a lot on Celiac and has been a speaker at Celiac conventions?

    Yes that is possible to have a withdrawal headache. If she has a fever, headache worsens or does not go away, or is sensitive to light she should seek medical attention at an emergency room. L. PS I just noticed you said it has been days she should seek medical advice.

    BUMP If you want to start a gluten free diet and need information, PM nini for her newbie pack of information. Any gluten gestation is not acceptable. Check some of the posts from those who have problems with grapes. We have people here who also are corn free. L.

    I really have tears of joy for all of you. I will continue praying for you guys. L. PS Thank you Vincent for keeping us updated.

    I tried those, and did not like them. Try the K-toos by Kinniknick, gluten eaters can't tell the difference between them and oreos. They are prone to falling apart easy, and must be stored sealed air tight. L.

    You didn't say how old. I think that will make a difference. My daughter was about 17 months and gained a pound the first month and a half. She gained three pounds by the next appointment she had, I think it was about 2 or 3 months after that. So her gain was about a pound a month. L.

    You could be going through withdrawal. On the bright side what are you craving? We will tell you what is the best gluten free replacement for your jonesing. L.
