My older daughter is going for her biopsy. She can't eat or drink anything but clear liquids after 12am. This will be tough. She is a big time midnight snacker. I have locks on the cabinets but she knows how they work. If I tell her she can't eat she wont really care if she is hungry,This will be tough.Maybe if she eats alot before bed and put her to bed later she will sleep. Any ideas on how to keep her out of the cabinets>

Thanks for any advice and the refrigerator also?

Thanks

Celina

Good luck tommorrow! I would explain to her that she can't get up in the night and get any food or the biopsy will have to be done again. Also give her a nice snack before she goes to bed, I guess.

celina, maybe you could keep her up late and feed her something around 11:30. i have done this myself before surgery. it is difficult for me to go too long without eating because i get low blood sugar.

When my 6 year old had surgery on her ears last month I though for sure she's get up and eat or something so I slept with her to make sure she didn't, I would know if she got out of bed.

Thankd for all the advice. I am keeping her up later and giving her a snack before bed in hopes that it will keep her tummy fuller longer.

Thanks

Hi Nikki just wondered how did things go? I really hope it all went ok for you though I imagine it was a hard thing to go through regardless... My thoughts are with you today.. we didnt get the biopsy done but just getting two rounds of bloodwork done was stressful enough so I can empathise with your concern. My fingers are crossed for you.

Everything went good. She did great we were home by 11:15am. The dr said by what he saw it looks like Celiac but we have to wait for the biopsy results. Hopefully the end of the week we will know 100%.

Thanks

The results should be in friday or the latest monday.

Nicole's pre-k teacher called me today she is coming for a home visit friday and she will start pre-k next week. They will transition her in. Should be exciting

Celina

p.s. I will post the results of alivia's biopsy as soon as I know.

Thanks

      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!😀

      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...

      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.

      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 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.
