We were told my 2 year old son has celiac's disease about 2 weeks ago now. He is a really picky eater and i want to know if anyone can suggest kid friendly recipes. Also i have a 1 year old and a 2 month old and the doctor said that they should be checked for celiac's to. Do I get them checked when they are this young? :(

Kids can be very picky at 2. I can remember cooking dinner for Angela and her friends. One meal that they all liked was macaroni and cheese, breakfast sausages, black olives, baby carrots and sliced apples. Actually at that age, most any raw veggies and fruit cut into slices or sticks or bite sized pieces worked pretty well. Angela would never touch tomatoes, but most kids would. Chicken nuggets usually worked well too. She also liked quesadillas. You could make these with corn or rice tortillas. Just put some shredded cheese in between two of them and warm it until the cheese melts in a skillet, or put in the microwave. Cut in wedges to serve.

She also liked serving herself. The bottom shelf of the refrigerator was hers. I left cut up vegetables and cheese cubes there so she could get them if she wanted. And she had a snack basket. In there, I put shelf stable snack type foods that she could get herself.

We went through the same thing last month. My 5 yo was diagnosed in Jan. The GI said that we all needed to be checked out. We did do the blood test on my 4 yo and my 2 yo. They both came back negative. I don't know about testing a 2 month old.....that seems awfully young? Is the baby on formula or breastfed?

2 year olds are notorious for being picky. You've been given some good thoughts from the previous poster, but it would help to know what he doesn't like that would qualify him as picky?

My Gluten Free 2 year old son is also very picky and i think it's because he still associates food with pain. He will only eat food that he recognizes that won't hurt him. These are his three favorite dishes.

1. hambuger meat with chopped onions, mushrooms, sliced cheese, Amy's gluten free tomato sauce and Annie's rice pasta

2. Bell and Evan's gluten free chicken nuggets topped with Amy's gluten free tomato sauce and sliced cheese

3. homemade chicken soup with rice (canned progresso's chicken and wild rice or healthy choice's chicken and rice soup)

Nacks

1. gluten free pretzals

2. Dole's friut cups

4. Yogurts

3. Nestle's chocolate covered raisinets

4. snikiddy's baked corn puffs (He loves this)

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Aussie Celiac · Posted

      Sometimes celiacs can also have other things like lactose intolerance which is fairly common. Also research fodmap foods, it's quite complicated but there are some other foods which can cause digestive issues. For me it's too many onions and garlic.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.
