      You are correct in looking closer at her diet, as there may still be trace amounts of gluten, even from a gluten-free bakery (are their ingredient suppliers certified gluten-free?). You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      You're doing an amazing job planning ahead for your son's first ski trip with celiac disease! It’s great that the hotel and organization are supportive, which makes a big difference. For dinners, consider simple gluten-free meals like pre-cooked rice or quinoa bowls with a protein (like grilled chicken or turkey slices) and steamed or roasted vegetables. These can be prepped at home, frozen, and reheated safely at the hotel. Gluten-free pasta with a simple tomato or cheese sauce is also a kid-friendly option that travels well. As for snacks, packing things like gluten-free crackers, cheese sticks, fruit, or granola bars will help ensure he has safe options throughout the day. It’s also wise to carry some single-serve condiments or seasonings he likes to make meals more appealing. Regarding accidental gluten intake, reactions vary from person to person. Some children experience immediate symptoms like stomach pain or diarrhea, while others might not react until hours later. It’s a good idea to carry supplies like wet wipes, an extra change of clothes, and medication if prescribed by your doctor. You might also want to brief the ski instructors about his condition and what to look for in case of exposure. With careful planning and preparation, you’ll set him up for a fun and safe experience. Enjoy your trip!

      Hi all,  Two weeks ago we learned our 7 your old has Celiacs and we are of course finding our way in his diet. However, we booked a skitrip a few months ago that will take place in February. We're going to the same hotel we went last year. The trip is non refundable so now I'm already starting to think how we will do this.   I've contacted the organization who was really really understanding and supportive. They've worked with this hotel for many years and the hotel (and restaurant of course) is prepared to do what they can. Storing and heating/preparing food that we bring is not a problem for them (which is already a huge relief) nor is providing fruits and vegetables (cucumber fi) to put in a lunch box as he will not be able to eat in the restaurants on the slopes. I checked, the ski area has 3 restaurants that offer gluten free options, but he is only 7 and with 7 year old's there's always the additional hurdle of 'yuk, I don't like the sight/taste/smell of it or I don't know it so I won't eat it' factor the consider 🙄. So we'll pack a lunch for him to take. [side question: if there should be an accidental intake and he gets a reaction, how strongly do we have to expect this: will he poo his pants? Will he be able to hold till he gets to the toilet at the end of the slope? Will he be able to still stand or will the pain make him having to lie down? We had the diagnosis rather by accident so have no experience with 'normal' symptoms or how violent they are and we would like to inform the ski instructors]   He loves oatmeal and we will bring gluten-free oatmeal for breakfast so that will be covered too, but for diners I'm already worried.    So my question is: Do you have tips for childproof gluten-free meals that could be easily heated or prepared in the hotel without risk of contamination?   Thank you for your reactions... Kathleen
