Sharing this in this section, cause realy only a parent would understand..

Our son is EXTREMLY hyper. Yes, I know he is three.. but he is ALOT more active then other three year olds, and thats alway been true. Every teacher/etc has always told us that, and you can see it if you watch him in a class. So he can be a bit of a handle. He gets himself in to more trouble because he WANTS to help then anything else....plus you add all teh issues with his celiac disease and egg allery, he can be a real handful and then some!!

Well based onthat you can guess how shocking this is. Ms Rebbecca, his new Sunday school teacher, actually told us " I was HOPING he would be in my class! I am so happy I got him!" :o

Thats enough to make a grown daddy tear up.....

A big congrats to that! Its always wonderful to get a teacher who really "gets" your kid!

BTW Have you looked into his activity possibly being a result of preservatives and food dyes? I was a Special Ed teacher for a short time and found out that many of the problems these kids were having came from the food additives. I think its the Feingold diet that touches on this... not 100% sure. Just a thought.

Food dyes and additives defintitly CAN cause that, of that I have no doubt. Right now we are working on broadening his food selections so that we can have a bit more fleixiblity in tring different things, and I am tyring to pay attn to what he eats and what he does following it... prbly need to create a food log to get a better handle on it.

He has always been overactive though, even in the womb....

My best advise to you is to learn how to channel that energy in a productive manner, reading, art, hands on puzzels, small tool (age approp), lego's are great and a good parent child activity. At 3 yrs old, you have a long road ahead of you. Keep those hands busy with productive and learning activities.

When my Catherine was in grade school, she would mix up toothpaste, shampoo,ajax,windex, and anything to could concoct in her bathroom sink....(which by the way ate up all to metal components of the sink drain, in every house that we have lived in). Today, she is a Chemist testing drugs, before FDA approval.

You have a long way to go, but feed that fire and good things will come.

:lol::blink::lol::blink: I couldn't help but truly laugh out loud and read this to my husband...then he laughed out loud! We understand this all too well. Zachary is 3 1/2 and also has a "high level of energy". He isn't hyperactive but does frequently move about the room he's in. His biggest issue is attention and distractability which is the root of the "high level of energy". He can certainly be a handful sometimes, too, as only a 3 year old with ADD could. :blink:

His preschool teacher knows that I taught special ed before I stayed home, so we've had some really funny conversations about Zachary. She's often tells me how bright he is but can't string beads if he's sitting next to someone. :lol::lol: She absolutely loves him and is a wonderful teacher. I just crack up when she and I talk b/c I've had tons of kids like that in my class as well as lived with my brother, who has ADD,for 33 years. When did your son start preschool? Zachary started in April...he turned 3 the end of March.

Eukee the Jumpy Jumpy Elephant is a great children's book. It's about an elephant with ADD and the related trials and tribulations. I know you can order it online from Barnes and Noble.

Sounds like a good teacher (or at least a brave teacher)!! Our #2 is also very energetic. He is fine if he gets a good 1-2 hours a day to runaround and burn off energy. When he was a toddler, I got him outside every day no matter what the weather was like. If it was raining, I bundled him up in slicker and boots, grabbed umbrellas, and took him and #1 puddle-stomping.

I can totally relate ... my active son is now 16 ... once he started growing hair on his legs, he wasn't nearly as hyper and doesn't get up with the sun anymore either!!

I hear you there, I have a VERY hyper 6 year old who just started kindergarten. I too love it when I see someone embrace him rather than be annoyed by him! :D:D:D It warms the heart thats for sure...

My second-oldest daughter was a 'wild little bumblebee', as I called her, when she was little, with wild curls and a mischivious little pixi face. She was ALWAYS in trouble, because she HAD to touch everything, and experiment. And I mean, she really had to, she couldn't help herself.

When she was a young teenager, often she'd come down after she had gone to bed already, proclaiming that she couldn't sleep, because her 'legs felt like running', so, she put on a coat and a pair of running shoes and ran around the block, and was able to sleep after that.

She is still very active, in fact, will go crazy without exercise. Which shouldn't be a problem with being the director of recreation (on maternity leave right now) in a school year-round outdoors camp.

If the energy is channelled into the right activities, it is not a problem, and medication is a travesty and a great disservice to those kids.

Hooray for Timmy for having a great teacher, who appreciates him just the way he is. I know from experience, that those kids aren't easy ones to handle (Karen would drive me up the wall sometimes, and yes, she was like that in the womb already, too). But hey, with a kid like that, life is definitely never boring! :D:P

That is great that someone understands kids with a lot of energy. My son (who is turning 3 in two weeks) is like that. He has to constantly jump and flip. I am going to start looking for a gymnastics class for him so he can get rid of some of his energy. His new trick is standing on his head on the couch. He looks so funny....I'm going to have to take a picture of him next time he does it.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.

I got glutened by a chips that was marked as gluten free but it wasn't the company said the packaging was old and the recipe was new.
