So when I asked our GS troop leader if we could change the brand type of the a few of the foods for their campout to make it safer and less confusing for the leaders and helpers this is the response:

************************************************************

It's actually easier for me if your girl and the other two girls have their own food items sent in by mom. That way someone who's not aware of the issue didn't get the wrong item, and it slips past us. We can be confident that she and the other girls will have safe foods. We will also make it as seamless as possible so the other girls in the troop have no idea, just like last year.( last year I attended and did everything for my girl this year I cannot attend)

You should provide items for your girl that will not be safe from the general supply (breads etc) Please also supply her own labelled hotdog/s'more stick. Anything that you send to cook with for them should be labelled, and we will keep it separate and just for your girl.

*************************************************************

The sad part of this very politically correct response is (not that she will even hear me out on this) is that by changing the brands it makes it easier and more "seamless" for them to deal with. The fact that we have to be peanut free for that allergen girl says it all...

I just wish people would open the dialogue so I can explain how much easier it is to change a brand than to have separate items. BTW we are talking hot dogs , snacks (pretzels and popcorn) and yogurt.

Not sure why you need to change the hot dogs, popcorn and yogurt. In the US, there are very few, if any, that contain gluten.

It might be easier for you to just tell your daughter to only eat what you send. That way she or someone who doesn't understand won't have to decide.

But I see your point. It would be easier to say " Honey, you can eat anything but the pretzels, graham crackers and hot dog buns". That works if no mom decides it would be fun to add a food item at the last minute.

I *always* sent my son's food and drinks for him, I never asked anyone to change anything for him. By sending what I know is safe for him, I had NO worries that he would be fed something that would harm him.

There are 16 kids with bag lunches and 2 full meals "THE KIDS" must prepare , serve and cleanup afterwards. So the less gluten the better was all I was going for.

My main point being, that some people won't even open dialogue to discuss it. That's sad !

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      By MHavoc · Posted

      Thank you all for the reply posts.  Yes, the constipation has abated.  I am not sure whether its due to having changed to a gluten-free diet or not, but I do think that there is a reasonable correlation.  I know that I will get over this eventually, but I am finding it hard not to lament missing all of my favorite foods that contain gluten.  Certainly, my health comes first... I guess I never realized how many things contain some element of wheat.  My sister has been living with celiac disease for most of her life, so I have someone who will share her favorite recipes. The next step for me will be my appointment with a Gastroenterologist for the Celiac Team... I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?
