    Jodie, Dr. Lewey is awesome. Polite and thorough, and understanding. He speaks at our support groups (check it out if you haven't), and lives with celiac disease himself--so he knows this stuff first hand. My first encounter with him was after four of my children had been positively diagnosed! My regular doc refused to test me for celiac disease...

    Welcome to the "No Swheats" life. (My 5 year old says this. She was diagnosed when she was 2, and she still doesn't quite get it, but she knows she can't eat what her friends eat.) There are many online places to order from, you can have it shipped to your home. Celiac Disease for Dummies (Barnes and Nobles ordered a copy for me) is a great...

    I have to ask--did you also use one of his pans (a pan that was also used for cooking foods with gluten previously)? This could also be your culprit! Our celiac disease support group mentions this every month to those who also just joined our group. Any cooking item that has ever been in touch with gluten could possibly (not necessarily) put...

    This is neat, I've scanned quite a few of the replies and am wondering if I could join in? I tried weight watchers for a few months--no success (and no support). I found a very supportive/neat web link that has several diets to choose from, even got a direct response from the dietician telling me which diet is best since celiac disease (plus other issues...

    Are you in Colorado!? Welcome to the world of "I can't have swheats." My daughter just turned 5--celiac since 2. She still doesn't understand why she can't have what her friends at day care are having, exactly, but she's at the stage now that she responds with: "I can't have it cause it has swheat, Mommy?" I respond with the usual, "Yep," but add...

    My 4 girls and I all had the biopsy done. The kids all did it together--assembly line! Their blood tests were all positive prior, but the older 2 were in serious denial because they didn't have any symptoms either (they claimed it was just PMS, or not enough sleep). My middle child had the worst symptoms, but had the lowest blood test. My youngest was...

    Hi... My third child was 9 when she was finally diagnosed. She did the blood tests and a stool test. At the urging of the specialist, my other 3 girls were tested, too. The older two (teens) were in full denial so we agreed to a biopsy on all of them. My youngest was 2 (also now 5), had the worst blood test results so we wanted to see how "bad" things...

    You have a lot of options here! Wow, I might try a few, too. I am a mom of 5. I started taking my kids along shopping (gulp!) to see what they like. Sounds scary, but saves me from having to fight over breakfast because they have a fridge/drawer/basket full of foods they like and I approve. The time with the older children allows me time to "bond"...

    Thanks for the referral. I added it to that area, too. I didn't realize there were so many to explore!! I have to come back more often.

    I am doing some "research" for a college class. The focus is on celiac disease in schools. I am hoping for some feedback that I may use as "data" for my project. Please take a moment to share your experiences in answering the 9 questions below. (Thanks, in advance, for taking the time to answer the questions!) 1. Have you had to deal with schools...

    Hang in there. It will become 2nd-nature soon enough. You will quickly learn all the scientific names for the foods you can't have. You will find brand names you can trust and really like. You will create recipes of your own. Natural foods are best (and healthier, anyway). There is more to life than just salads. My husband, not a celiac, has...

    I am doing some "research"--partly for myself and partly for a class I am taking. I'm hoping for some feedback. There are a few questions I have in dealing with celiac disease: 1. How many of you had to deal with schools/teachers who do not know what celiac disease is or how to deal with it? 2. What procedures did you follow to help your child...
