  1. My daughter is consistently complaining of pain in her ankle bone. Could this be gluten or even nutrition related? Her diet does not include any grain, soy, dairy or egg so I am concerned about what she might be missing. She is taking a calcium supplement but no vitamins. Have any of you had the same experience and if so what did you do for it?
  2. Wow. It's been a long time since I have been here. You all helped so much when I was battling my daughters father in court when he tried to say she had a failure to thrive. Things went well. I am recently remarried and living in Arlington Texas with my little girl. We have been here for over three years now and I have never found a doctor for her. With the...
  3. Does anyone know if tinkerbell body glitter is gluten free? DD won it playing pin the tail on the donkey at a birthday party. That was not the afore mentioned success though. The success was how at 3 yrs old she understood why she couldn't have ice cream and cake and she gladly shared her skittles with the other kids at the party. I think she gets...
  4. Thanks everyone for the welcome back and encouragement. It is good to be back here and focusing on what is important to keep the little one healthy and happy.
  5. Is there anyone with celiac or gluten sensitive in or near Columbus? My stepson is going gluten free and says he has not found anyone there yet who has heard of either one.
  6. Often when a product says it is non-dairy it has casien in it. In the ingredients it might say casienate (I think that is the right spelling). Also, something that I have found helpful with my daughter. We take Wet Ones wipes everywhere we go. Don't get the alcohol free. We constantly wash our hands with them when we get back in our car or before we eat...
  7. I hear people complain all the time about things that can be symptoms of gluten sensitivity. I tell them. I had just about decided to stop telling my mom who hears it every time she complains about health issues she is having. The last time she started she interupted herself and said I really need to try your gluten free diet. She knew I was going to say...
  8. Only if you ingest gluten. It is easy to contaminate your kitchen with gluten. If you are using flour and it gets in the air and settles on kitchen surfaces it is likely that you will contaminate your food with it. Contamination is on a microscopic level. Other's here are successful at having a kitchen that is not gluten free and I'm sure they will have some...
  9. I haven't been here for a while. Bogged down in forensic physchologist, lawyer, 3 year old and work. I had no time to do anything extra but breath. Yes that was an extra. Good news, though. Some of you may remember my soon to be ex-husband was trying to accuse me of neglect because my now 3 year old was not growing. I found a doctor with celiac disease in...
  10. My nearly three year old daughter is gluten and casien sensitive. We have known since she was about 18 months. the word gluten is something she hears everyday (well, nearly) and she understands that gluten will hurt her. She knows the difference between baby wipes and alcohol wipes and that an alcohol wipe is what we use when we are out to make sure her hands...
  11. I think this may be the single most helpful bunch of lists I have seen so far. Thanks! you are taking a lot of wonderfatigue out of shopping.
  12. Thanks, I do have Al-anon and they do teach coping skills. I think I have to much going on for to long and getting glutened clinched the inability to even want to cope. It helped a little to rant and then my three year old and I had a few laughs together and that helped. I was eventually able to get a few hours of work done as well. I moved the puppys...
  13. I know I have been glutened recently, not sure where or how. I am having all sorts of problems the most disturbing of which is sensitivty to sound. Any one sound seems to scrape my brain. Combinations of sounds are eating my lunch. Dog barking, train going by, my three year old's three wheeler going by on the dining room floor. People talking, everything...
  14. Thanks Ursa and Nicole, Fortunately? Mom has been around for over a year now watching my little one and I go gluten free and casien free. She asks a lot of questions, many of them over and over. She has been supportive of us and seen the difference the diet makes. It will be a lot different for her to actually follow even a casien free diet. She likes...
  15. My nephew is 8 years old. For as long as my mom can remember he has had large, painful stools. Recently she was talking to me about it because she is concerned for him. She said she thought he was holding it in because it is to painful to have a b.m. and then when he could hold it no longer he would squeeze his cheeks (sorry it is a gruesome but necessary...
