Traveling With Gluten Free Toddlers

My family just took our first family vacation after being diagnosed. My daughter planned very well on the trip to the beach. We ate gluten free sandwiches, fruit, yogurt, snacks, etc.My daughter made it extra special by making a great picnic lunch. The girls are ages 2 and 4 years old and have been diagnosed 3 or 4 months.

The girls were very lucky to find a gluten free pizza that they could eat at one of the upscale restaurants. They also were fortunate that they could eat boiled shrimp at the same restaurant. There was also a health food store across from the condo. (Gluten-Free pizza $14) Ha

]Now this is the part I had a hard time with, remember I am the grandmother, first trip, and my ]emotions do get in the way

On the way home from the beach we had a hard time finding something for the girls to eat. They ate lots of homemade trail mix and that was fine, but my heart was a little sad when they had Burger King french fries for lunch. When dinner arrived they ate yogurt. It was very late and was not very well planned. We are new at this. My daughter did a brilliant job with meal planning. My son in law and daughter, after finding their precious daughters fast asleep slipped in a drive thru to order for my son in law.

My question for all of you is this. Is their any advice that we can use on trips like this we plan on making in the future.

p.s. I am being tested this week, and my youngest daughter got tested last week. She is 20 and in college. No results yet.

Sorry this is so long, I promise not to take up all this time from now on,

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By Jaylan · Posted

      Hi there!  I’ve recently been tested for celiac disease, along with other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms started back in 2018 with joint pain in my knees. Since then, it has progressively worsened. I now have joint pain in both knees, elbows, and sometimes my shoulders. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel so stiff in the mornings, and this stiffness can last the whole day. I also experience swelling and warmth around those areas.   Other symptoms include IBS (diagnosed at age 16), restless legs, chest pain, tiredness, miscarriages, bloating, and sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. In the past, I’ve also had problems with a vitamin D deficiency, and my serum folate levels recently came back very low.   My question is: How likely is it that I have celiac disease?

      Celebrity Luncheon Loaf Gluten Free

      By robingfellow · Posted

      The Celebrity brand Luncheon Loaf (found at dollar tree, distributed by Atalanta Corporation) is gluten free according to the distributor. I emailed their customer service line for information on the ingredients, and they contacted the vendor and followed up with me that the "starch" ingredient I was worried about is corn and potato. It should be safe.
