    DH was on the diet for 6 months before he noticed some consistent improvement and commented at 8 months that he is really starting to feel better. I wish there was a way to fast forward the healing time. My DS is in his 2nd month and it seems to take forever. Good luck! Kendra

    I'll answer for my DH who is the gluten-free one at our house. PEPSI or Coke. He says it is his one great pleasure. Kendra

    First of all, I realized I posted I was at Whole Foods but really I went to Wild Oats. (sorry) The brand of corn flakes I bought was Natures Path Corn Flakes which are sweetened lightly with fruit juice. They also had ones sweetened with honey. Some of the little health food stores in Wichita had them too so I think that if they didn't carry them they...

    I reheat my pasta in the microwave with my tupperware rock n serve container vented. DH thinks it tastes as good as the first time. (I think it is a little different but not bad) He does request that I refrigerate sauce separate from pasta. He thinks that the spaghetti sauce gets absorbed into the rice pasta. So I separate them but sometimes microwave...

    Thanks for the update, Tanya. We are still praying for Megan every day and praising the Lord for how well she is doing. Hopefully the gagging will let up soon and she will be interested in eating. It sounds like it has been "raining" at your house too. It seems when one thing breaks three do. Take care. Kendra

    My DH uses white corn tortillas to make sandwiches sometimes for a variety from gluten-free bread. (they are cheaper too) We discovered white corn tortillas don't have as strong of a taste as yellow corn. I have done meat sandwiches that way, also peanut butter and jelly. We made grilled cheese sandwiches with tortillas too. I guess that would be a quesadilla...

    Obviously, celiac is genetic but so is hair color, size, and lots of other things we don't worry about passing on. My DH wasn't diagnosed until we already had both of our children and now DS has celiac to. We have talked about it and even knowing that DH had celiac we still would have had both children. Both guys feel so much better on the diet and it...

    Danielle, I don't have much to offer in ideas but wanted to let you know I'll be praying for you and the boys and this huge diet adjustment you will be embarking on. Your cousins' kids are so lucky to have you and your knowledge about celiac so that they can get help while they are still young. Hugs! Kendra

    I am so encouraged by those of you who are at the point you forget sometimes. I myself don't have celiac but my DH and DS have it. Since June when we discovered DS has it I feel like all I do is live and breathe celiac and gluten free. I am reading books, trying new recipes and trying to figure out how to send him to Sunday School, preschool and other...

    I have a friend whose son has some symptoms sound somwhat familiar with others posting on this site. She is getting ready to take him to dr but thought we might get some input to point them in the right direction. Grant was born pretty much solidly for first 1 1/2 years of life. Doctors said he was just colicky. The first 12 weeks he couldn't nurse...

    Ok, hope this works Marcy. I copied Nini's website address off of her signature. Check out my webpage Open Original Shared Link the Newbie Survival Kit is now available for download on my webpage!!!!!! I PMed you the school supply list and here would be where you could get the rest. Phone calls are a pain for me too since the kids always...

    Thanks for the update. Great news about Cole too. Glad Megan is doing well. I'll keep praying for a full recovery. Kendra
  13. Luvs to Scrap
    I got on Nini's website for her newbies list. I can't find the link right now but it was really helpful. She had one for school supplies. All crayola stuff was ok except for Crayola dough. Elmer's products were ok except for finger paints. So we went name brand this year . Good luck. The longer I deal with this the more I learn I have been doing wrong...

    Hi! Welcome to the forum. I just got done testing my 18 month DD. She is ok so far but DS and DH both have it. The celiac panel is Anti-gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Tissue Transglutamise (tTg) IgA Total Serum IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutamise (tTg) IgG Endomesial Antibody (EMA) IgA It is quite a lot of blood to draw for...

    My son will be 4 in Sept. When he got diagnosed in June we told him that gluten (or wheat, oats, barley and rye) made him sick just like they make Daddy sick. He now will only get to eat foods that are safe for him and Daddy. We only offer him safe things at home obviously but we have been working on him needing to ask before eating something when we are...

    Cindy, I just wanted to let you know we are still praying for your situation at our house too. I hope to read a post about everything getting resolved soon. Kendra

    Luke has been gluten-free for about 1 1/2 months and he still has D. Not as bad as before but it is taking time. My DH took about 6 months to feel noticeably better and a lot better after 8 months. I think the Dr needs to clarify what his comment meant though. I continue to pray daily for Lanigan and hope that they figure out how to help him SOON...

    ARCHIVED Spangles

    Luvs to Scrap posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    My husband eats out with the guys at Spangles every week. I have finally got him to realize that he is probably getting glutened there. (He used to eat the fries but convinced him that was a bad idean) Today he must have gotten glutened again because he was violently sick tonight and I know supper was gluten-free. He ordered a hamburger without the bun...

    My DH was diagnosed late Sept 05 and DS was just diagnosed in June. We are in the process of testing my DD. When just Jason had celiac the kids and I ate normal for breakfast and lunch while he was at work and I tried to make suppers as gluten-free as possible. (Sometimes Jason would have some parts of the meal different than the rest of us. Like we had...

    So glad you are home! Will continue to pray for smooth and quick recovery. Kendra

    How frustrating! It is so painful and hard to get them to do blood tests to begin with and now have to go back again. Yuck! And your daughter will definitley remember too. How old is your daughter? Kirsten got stuck 4 times yesterday trying to get enough blood for all of her celiac panels and she was not a happy 18 month old. Dr ordered allergy tests...

    Thanks for all of your support and prayers. Kirsten was really fussy today--basically screamed an hour after she got up this morning and then did the same thing after nap. Part of it might be I am not letting her have as much milk. She maybe only had 1-1 1/2 cups today as opposed to 4 or more. Luke did really well with his milk restriction. I filled...

    The cool ranch and taco are both ok. So are spicy nacho cheese but not the regular nacho cheese. If you call Frito Lay they will mail you a more complete list and they sent me coupons too! Luke just discovered Enviro Kids cereal bars. He loves the very berry. We also like ener g foods pretzels, fruit snacks, cheese sticks, yogurt, and fruit. ...
  24. Luvs to Scrap
    Well we finally got home from Kirsten's 2:30 pediatrician visit at 7:00 tonight. He really took time with us and would go research something and then come back and talk to us again. I had taken all of the lab results our family practice dr had ordered on the family and also some stuff I had found about testing from this forum. He made copies of everything...

    What great news ! Praying that Megan will be able to go home ASAP! Kendra
