    You may want to have a chat with the priest. Both children are celiac and we attend Catholic Mass. They have been confirmed by the Bishop with a separate chalice. No pieces of the wafer are added (as is done during preparation of the gifts). The children go up to the Altar and recieve the Precious Blood from the chalice and then Communion procedes for the...

    1 egg lightly beaten 1/4 cup milk 1/4 cup cornmeal pinch salt 1/2 cup gluten-free flour mix (I use kinnickinnick all purpose) 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tbsp sugar Mix together until smooth, add more milk if too thick to coat hot dog. Deep fry until golden brown - - then enjoy! [the batter should be thick enough to stick to the "dog", experiment...

    You can print this for him. A testimonial for cc and the effects. daughter has severe symptoms just inhaling wheat dust - from an empty/cleaned grain bin on a farm. Up until that episode, I too thought it was just about eating it. daughter shows outward symptoms so it is easy to tell if she was glutened...son did not show a lot of physical symptoms but...

    During big holidays you want to be the first one to offer to cook the turkey/stuffing and gravy. Then it can all be gluten-free. You will have dinner at your house or you will transport it anywhere. [its Canadian Thanksgiving here] After one Christmas where family finally tried the gluten-free stuffing - they shied away from it first time cause they...

    and ...at least in our circumstance... it helped our son stick with gluten-free. After 2 years gluten-free the "attitude of a teen" surfaced in our son. Questioning things etc. He started asking "what if" questions: "What if I just had one donut? Would I just have sore legs for day?" (in his mind that would be tolerable in order to have a wheat donut...

    and one more... insulin hadnt been discovered yet. Type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes) was terminal and meant certain death

    Just another humble opinion here. Many factors should be considered for a biopsy/no biopsy. We made an informed decision to do the biopsy - on daughter becasue her results were borderline and she had pre-existing autoimmune disease. We agreed to the biopsy on my son because he also had heartburn and the Dr was worried about esophageal damage - he wanted to...

    It sounds like you have a doctor who wants to be thorough - please work with him and at the same time be assertive. You can refuse the biopsy - explain why - that you feel it is too invasive, that you are worried etc. I read and re-read the post before I replied. You have a child with an as yet undiagnosed condition - i know what that feels like...... Please...

    yes it is gluten-free and my kids love it as a treat, favorite is strawberries and cool whip ....yum

    and given orally - it's effects will be minimal - as in limited to dry mouth. A note to those with other allergies -atropine is derives from a nightshade plant.
  11. 2kids4me
    atropine has no gluten - it originates from a plant. It is usually used in procedures that require a general anesthetic, it has side effects (different than "complications"). It does affect heart rate. I would aska few more questions - If you have concerns - would the Dr be willing to just use suction instead? or does that interfere with putting the...

    ... you hide the gluten-free cookies when guests come over, so they dont eat them.
  13. 2kids4me
    We have 2 kids that are fine with staying home and handing out candy, one is diabetic and celiac - but they are older now. They help pick out the treats (gluten-free and we know carb count) and then they get to fill their own plastic pumpkins first with their choices. They dress up and delight in seeing all the costumes but staying warm at the same time....
  14. 2kids4me
    well I had to add a comical note - it seems odd they'd add gluten to fish food when I have never seen a fish grazing on a field of wheat or barley....... maybe it's for farmed fish

    well food may get his attention but does "intimacy" appeal to him? Everytime he does that to you - tell him how he just killed any chance of "nookie" (canadian word for intimate) later............ That mentioning food all the time when you deal with a food related illness just negates your mood for the day.............that for him to bite his lip out...

    Sounds like Gizmo has found a wonderful place to call home. Yes, get him neutered ASAP. He is old enough to start spraying. Once he feels like he is on his own turf and there are other pets around - that is when he will mark out his territory. Good luck with the spats that will happen as everyone figues out where they are in the social status of the group...

    leave out the xanthem gum, frezze portions of the cookie dough - then you can indulge your craving for cookie dough late at night without the fuss

    any person, child or adult that has acetone breath as result of diabetic ketoacidosis is very sick and would be diagnosed quickly - becasue the symptoms would have you in the ER. Vomiting, stomach pain, pale, rapid repsiration, very sluggish, very thirsty / peeing alot and the synptoms would not improve or go away and then come back. There are other reasons...

    I agree that what she did was incredibly thoughtless and had ulterior motives. But when all is said and done - she does have the "rights" to any photos she took - regardless of who set the lights up etc. I write "on the side" and if I take picture myself, I sign a waiver that states that - if someone else takes the picture - all I have to do is assign...

    My son used to have really bad joint pain but it went away after going gluten-free. He does get heel pain because he has short achillies tendons and also walks toed out. These are some links you may find useful: and one on heel pain in children: Open Original Shared Link

    This is an excellent link that discusses why a non-diabetic child may have acetone breath. Open Original Shared Link a bit from that link:

    I agree with pixie girl. Humans and dogs learn through teaching what is expected, rewarding correct behavior and stopping "bad behavior" with a short jerk on a lead - I use a gentle leader and it has been fabulous for our dog (an adult rescue, dumped in a snowbank)... also in a low voice a "NO". Think of how we work with kids - we teach and reinforce good...

    yes, if they used propofol -and he is allergic or sensitive to soy - then that could ahve made him nauseous. But keep in mind, nausea following anesthesia is not uncommon. Happens to pets too, my sister laughed the first time I told her that (not sure why) and asked if the animals spoke to me and told me they felt sick ...... ........you can tell...

    If you have allergies to soy and/or eggs - mention this to your anesthesiologist. Mention you are celiac - the surgeon does the surgery - the anesthesiologist will be administering the drugs from a post by RKB ( an anesthesiologist) :
