To be clear, I'm not afraid of the test itself--just the results!<br />We are monitoring her over the summer and will decide what to do come fall, when we are back in CO. It could also be a sensitivity to dairy/lactose. Definitely not an allergy (yet) to the lactose, but we have noticed its better if we limit her milk consumption--which could just be coincidence! I will definitely keep you updated, and certainly will be pestering you for recipes if it turns out it is in fact gluten! :)amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04129982978926488483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156476432239609617.post-76249774251899838852013-06-14T21:32:38.263-05:002013-06-14T21:32:38.263-05:00Amy - Poor little Charlie! Let me know if you ever...Amy - Poor little Charlie! Let me know if you ever want to talk more. It's amazing the difference eliminating gluten made for me. I went from sick ALL the time (there were days when I literally could not leave the house), and not fitting in any of my pants (hadn't gained weight, just hurty, bloated tummy!) to feeling 100% well. It was amazing.<br /><br />Don't be afraid of the test. Many doctors now just do the blood test and then a gluten elimination test. While the intestinal biopsy is necessary for 100% certainty that it's Celiac, in my opinion (and increasingly the opinion of many doctors) if the blood test is positive and eliminating gluten makes her feel better, that's all the proof you need. Whether it's Celiac or just severe gluten intolerance, the treatment's the same.<br /><br />I'm available to talk any time! Cooking gf is easier than it first seems. Prayers for you and for Charlie!Gluten Free Jesus Freakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00174739069414276215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156476432239609617.post-17152887520316591022013-06-14T10:54:05.263-05:002013-06-14T10:54:05.263-05:00Hi Courtney,
I love reading your blog and keeping...Hi Courtney, <br />I love reading your blog and keeping up with your adventures in (lack of) gluten. While I myself have no issues, I have many friends who do, and I appreciate reading about the cautions of cross-contamination and how to safely prepare food for them.<br />All that being said, Charlie often complains of a tummy ache. she doesn't sleep well, she randomly throws up (with no trigger we can identify, and to the point her daycare doesn't even send her home anymore because they know she's not really sick). She won't wear jeans or pants with 'buttons' because i think she doesn't like anything pushing on her tummy. At our most recent pediatrician visit, he suggested it could be a gluten issue. I'm terrified to have the test done--we are a gluten house! :) Of course, if we can make her tummy hurts go away, we will do everything we can. But, I'm terrified of having the test done!!<br /><br />Good luck with little Lincoln! Hopefully he can snag those goldfish crackers whenever he wants :)amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04129982978926488483noreply@blogger.com
