    My son was diagnosed with celiac a little over a year ago. Our whole house is gluten free, and we rarely go out to eat. He is in preschool and they are very careful with him. As best I can tell he has not been glutened since he went gluten free. My question is about sensitivity levels. I read this forum often and sometimes see comments like, "I'm very sensitive...

    Celiac can be triggered by anything if your kiddos have the gene. We have one sibling with the gene but he hasn't developed celiac, one sibling without the gene, and one sibling (4months old) that we don't know yet. My husband has the gene but not celiac and I don't have the gene. Our home is completely gluten free. When we go out anywhere, my husband and...

    Costco has gluten free chicken nuggets that my kids adore. Costco has sabatasso frozen pizza that my kids like too. There are many snacks that are kid friendly and gluten free. If there is a Woodmans near you, they have tons of gluten free foods. My boys love Glutino White sandwich bread. Krusteaz pancake mix is kid friendly. My kids didn't like any of the...

    Have him read about the disease and the multitude of repercussions that occur from gluten consumption that have nothing to do with "classic stomach" issues. Not following a strict gluten free diet can lead to terrible diseases because your body will be so weak and damaged. When my son was diagnosed, reading about the disease made a big impact on our family...

    Our GI dr said a strong positive blood test and positive genetic screening for celiac were sufficient to confirm celiac. So we went that route instead of the endo. Our son was 2 at time of diagnosis. I'd talk to your dr about referral to a nutritionist if possible too. We saw one and she was helpful for the initial transition. It was only a few months into...

    I just use Wet Ones antibacterial wipes to wipe down the table. We keep a small soft cooler packed with wipes, the silicone mat, a mini bottle of personal ketchup, a box of chocolate milk that doesn't need to be refrigerated, crayons, etc so we can grab it on the way out the door. Then we put the mat back in the front mini pocket to be washed so the inside...

    I'd love to follow this thread! We have the same situation with our son. When we do dare to try eating out, we have things we try but I'm not sure they are effective enough. I wash down the table top, edge and underneath. Then we put down a silicon baking mat. We are "training" him to never touch off his mat or put any food or utensils off his mat. It's constant...

    We eat it every week or at least every other week. My three year old is the only one who currently has celiac (husband and another child have the gene but it hasn't triggered). He is quite articulate and has never complained of any issues nor have I noticed any outward symptoms from him. His numbers (ttg) have decreased significantly since his diagnosis in...
