My son was just diagnosed a month ago. So we're really new to this new lifestyle. My son is old enough (4 1/2) that I can trust him not to eat playdoh, do I still need to be concerned about him playing with it in his preschool class? Do you think that thurough hand washing is enough? I dont' know where to draw the line when it comes to being too paranoid about cross-contamination??? Anyone have any feed back?

Why risk it?? I don't think that saying play-dough is off limits is being too paranoid.

They make a wonderful gluten free playdough that can be used instead. It is sort of expensive, but from what I understand the bucket comes with TONS of dough so it is worth the money. You could provide a bucket for the preschool for all the children to use instead of regular play dough.

You can find the gluten free playdough here: Open Original Shared Link

I know when I was younger (not gluten-free) I would play with the stuff, it would get under finger nails and be there for DAYS! GROSS!! It definately has potential to harm a child with celiac.

Hope that helps.

Yeah I wouldn't risk it...you know how kids touch things,touch their mouth, etc. Make sure they do not give him any food that contains gluten. I used to work at a daycare and they are pretty careless.

I don't think it's overly paranoid at all. How many 4 1/2 year-old think to wash their hands before every meal? And then make sure every particle of playdoh is washed off, make sure none is under his nails, etc. Better to be safe than sorry.

my daughter would also break out in hives all over after she had been playing with play dough, it took me a while to figure out what was causing it. imagine if it does that to her skin, what was gluten doing to her insides???

I make an awesome playdough that is cheap to make and better than the "real" stuff... PM me if you are interested. I will sell it pre made at my cost, OR give you the basic recipe so that you can make it yourself.

      Raw Meat Craving

      Hey there @knitty kitty! Thanks for checking in. Things are not really going as planned for myself unfortunately. As much as I feel better than I did while eating gluten, I still seem to be reacting to trace amounts of gluten in gluten free foods. I constantly break out in rashes or hives after eating. My dermatitis is constantly flaring up. I take...

      Raw Meat Craving

      @Jordan Carlson, How are you doing now? Your post slipped by, but I had to let you know you weren't alone. I've had cravings for raw meat my whole life. It's due to being low or deficient B vitamins, specifically Thiamine. Meat is a great source of B vitamins. Cooking meat destroys some of the vitamins, so a craving for raw or rare meat shows...

      Raw Meat Craving

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hey there @knitty kitty! Thanks for checking in. Things are not really going as planned for myself unfortunately. As much as I feel better than I did while eating gluten, I still seem to be reacting to trace amounts of gluten in gluten free foods. I constantly break out in rashes or hives after eating. My dermatitis is constantly flaring up. I take every precaution possible to be as gluten free as I possibly can and have simplified my diet as much as I possibly can but still cant get past this point in my recovery. If this is the case, I believe it would be considered non-responsive Celiac Disease or Refractory Celiac Disease. The only time I have ate gluten purposely in the last year was for the 3 weeks leading up to my endoscopy for diagnosis. Aside from that, the last year has been a constant disappointing effort to be gluten free with the same result of getting stuck at this point. I have a appointment with my doctor next week to discuss some treatment options and what the next steps are in trying to get my body to push past this point.   I will keep you posted!

      Raw Meat Craving

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jordan Carlson, How are you doing now?  Your post slipped by, but I had to let you know you weren't alone.  I've had cravings for raw meat my whole life.  It's due to being low or deficient B vitamins, specifically Thiamine.  Meat is a great source of B vitamins.  Cooking meat destroys some of the vitamins, so a craving for raw or rare meat shows up.   Thiamine and Niacin make digestive enzymes that will help you digest fats.  Thiamine will help improve gastroparesis, anxiety, vertigo, and heart palpitations.  Niacin will help Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I get dermatitis herpetiformis blisters on the palms of my hands, too. Really active people (especially if outdoors in hot weather) need additional Thiamine.  If a high carbohydrate diet is eaten, additional Thiamine is needed, too.  I take Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine that helps heal the digestive tract.  I also supplement magnesium because Thiamine and magnesium work together.   Hope you can update us on how you're doing.

      Lymph nodes in neck + thyroid issues

      By Blue Roan · Posted

      @RMJ@Scott Adams@knitty kitty, Thank you for all of your responses, tips, and suggestions. I'm very grateful that this website exists. It makes me feel a lot less alone in my celiac journey!  The endocrinologist had me do a neck ultrasound just to be safe. Thankfully, thyroid and lymph nodes came back normal. knitty kitty, my Vitamin D is on the higher end of normal, but I will definitely consider the dentist route next time I have my checkup if I'm still noticing issues. Thank you! Scott, thanks for suggesting the ENT. I may consider seeing one if things don't resolve on their own. I am thankfully feeling a bit better now, so hopefully, this is just some sort of residual celiac inflammation like you mentioned, Scott. After all of the numerous tests and clinical visits I've had all year, I'm going to give my body (and wallet) a break for a few months to rest and heal without the stress of doctor appts/labwork and whatnot. Perhaps the health anxiety is also contributing to some of my symptoms.  Thank you once again for sharing your stories.
