    I don't recall play-doh getting mention in this discussion. Is standard play-doh being used at daycare? If so, are there processes in place to reduce the chance of your child's exposure? You may also want to scan through the kids section of the forum and search for daycare discussions. Play-doh is a big one, but other art, science or play materials could...

    Hi Amalthea, I just wanted to share that I understand where you are coming from in your posts. I also have wheat allergy and celiac issues, so I understand how difficult it can be for more standard, typical celiacs to relate to the more complicated challenges with a compounding immunological response to wheat and gluten. As well, I am managing a household...

    I recently moved to Australia and lost my dried bean sources that I had been using safely in the States (not a single brand, but the beans were bulk sourced through our local health food store and home tested for gluten, then washed). Anyway, here in Australia, I am being told that they don't grow beans. All of the dried bean sources I have found so far...

    Hi! I've seen some of your posts and I was just wondering what your children's wheat allergy symptoms are? My daughter's are both gluten intolerant (no official celiac diagnosis though) and I've definitely wondered if our youngest might have a wheat allergy as well. Thanks!

    I was asymptomatic when I went gluten free, as was my oldest child. We went gluten free for my second child, and we now have significant and serious symptoms with gluten exposure. Hindsight gives it a slightly different perspective, as I had spent my whole life "normalizing" my symptoms . . . I mean, you have to do something to cope with life, right? My...

    One of my children has the really, really bad breath following gluten exposure. It is one of the ways that I monitor how we are doing with our diet. It is a distinct odor, for sure, and I would love to better understand exactly what that odor is. In the meantime, when I smell that dank breath, I know that we better review what she ate the day before. ...

      Hi friended you because I have a severe wheat allergy and respond violently to airborne wheat exposure. I could have written some of your posts. In the past few weeks I was diagnosed with Celiac as well, by my doctor. We will be doing a genetic test soon to confirm it. (((((hugs)))) Airborne wheat is making my life so difficult. I cannot imagine being a kid and dealing with it.

      I have found a solution to my airborne allergies. It's Zantac. Weird huh? The doc said it is a histamine 2 blocker, histamine 2 is made in the stomach acid. Apparently, there is a link between food allergies, asthma, and stomach acid. Anyway, I wrote a long post about it if your interested. It's titled "wheat allergy" and it is posted in the coping section. Maybe Zantac will help your child. I have not had an airborne reaction since the doc put me on it last week. It...

    Our super, super silly DD seemed to start reacting to "oranges" out of the blue when we went really gluten free initially for her. If we are very selective about which orange juice and oranges that we make available to her now, she seems to do well with them. I am not convinced that her issue was with "oranges". On the other hand, I have had a lifetime...
