10 Year Old Daughter With celiac disease Needs Email Friend

Hi,

I'm new and apparently i posted wrong or something as I have not seen my previous post in this section! I can only find my post by clicking on KimG to read my one and only posting!

Please help....my 10 year old daughter needs some email friends around her own age that have celiac disease or are on a gluten-free diet. We are new to this whole thing and mostly it would be helpful for her to know other kids are out there that are having the same problems as she is. I can't even imagine how different things will be for her this year as school starts. Please read my original post (if you can find it!). I posted it today and only about an hour ago. I hope that someone with Celiac kids can help me......i did get one two replies earlier, but then my posting disappeared!

Thanks!

Kim

Hi,

I have a 9 1/2 year old daugter that will be diagnosed 2 years in the fall as well as myself shortly before. She has adapted very well and has met several other friends through camps and a gluten free vacation we did. I know she would like to communicate with your daughter. She understands fully what it all means and has accepted and adjusted very well. My e-mail is elysealec@aol.com and if you contact me, I will give you her e-mail address. By the way, where are you located? We are in Kure Beach, NC. Good luck.

      Hey all!

      Thank you! I’m currently the breadwinner as my husband is pursuing a finance degree so the nights that I am at work they can eat whatever my husband makes but when I am home we have gluten free meals and no complaints so far! I definitely don’t have a choice but to switch but I think slowly transitioning my family is good!😀

      Welcome aboard, @Savannah Wert!

      Hey all!

      Hey everyone! I just joined and figured I’d introduce myself, my name is Savannah, I’ve been with my husband for over 8 years and we have 3 kids, a 7 year old, 5 year old, and 3 year old. I was diagnosed with celiac disease beginning of October along with microscopic colitis, lactose intolerance, and sucrose intolerance. I got sick the day before my 5th ...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      I don't react the same way to all of them but do react badly to many of them where others may not. I also have a touch of hypochondria so when the labs come back too high or makes me anxious. I am dismayed but not really surprised that I may be in the small group of people to suffer a particular side effect. I was originally on warfirin. I think that was...

      What do you mean when you say, "blood thinners are all the same to me"? Do you mean you react negatively in the same way to all of them? Otherwise, they are not all the same. They work in different ways. Aspirin causes the platelets to be less sticky. Warfarin and related meds work by reducing the production of platelets. You might talk to your doctor about...

      Welcome aboard, @Savannah Wert! There usually is a learning curve involved in arriving at a consistently gluten free diet since gluten is found in so many food products where you would never expect it to be. This article may be helpful:  It is good that you have identified some other foods that you cannot tolerate at this point as this is so common in the celiac population and it often goes unaddressed for years. You may find that the lactose intolerance disappears as your gut heals. No guarantee, though. Keep an eye out for the development of celiac symptoms in your children as the likelihood of first degree relatives developing active celiac disease is somewhere between 10% and almost 50%. Yes, the studies on this are all over the map. Is your home gluten free or will you be attempting to avoid CC (Cross Contamination) while fixing gluten-containing foods for your family members? It is always best for everyone in the home to commit to gluten free eating in the home environment when one member has celiac disease.

I was diagnosed with celiac disease beginning of October along with microscopic colitis, lactose intolerance, and sucrose intolerance. I got sick the day before my 5th wedding anniversary and thought it was just the flu, which lasted over 3 months. I finally had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and was diagnosed. This has been such a hard transition and any tips are greatly appreciated!

I am dismayed but not really surprised that I may be in the small group of people to suffer a particular side effect. I was originally on warfirin. I think that was the one where I had trouble with vitamin k numbers and or was anemic with low hemoglobin, red blood cells etc.  My blood pressure drops to very low numbers after taking something as simple as turmeric for a few weeks. My diastolic had touched 50 one day before I finally figured out that the herb was the problem. No intention to go for 40 so never looked back. I wanted to try benfothiamine but one of the listed side effects is bradycardia and other stuff that I am not going to challenge esp since I have had and still have to a lesser degree heart rhythm problems.
