Does anyone have celiac disease?
-
Just found out that my 26month old may have celiac disease. Can anyone help me on a guide to what he can eat and what he should avoid? Thanks!

Answer:
I found out I was Gluten Intolerant/Celiac back in 2001. There are many substitutes available now & many resources. Whole Foods & Henry's Farmer's Market (under health & wellness) have Gluten Free books & product lists. Celiac.org is also a NPO that is a good resource and support. Gluten Free Pantry is a great online shopping resource as well. Watch labels for hidden Gluten like - Carmel coloring (barley), Modified Vegetable Protein, Natural Flavor(s/ing). Processes foods are suspect learn to READ EVERY LABEL! All fresh fruits, vegetables, meats/Poultry/fish are Gluten Free - watch (solutions they are soaked in though). Rice, Corn, Quinua, Millet, Arrowroot & others are gluten free. Good Luck! :-)

You asked the right question 2 day. My 9 year old has celiacs as well. One of the foods we love are kinninick foods,(http://consumer.kinnikinnick.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/consumer.home.html). One of the biggest problems I run into is that alot of foods are made in the same factory as foods with gluten. We shop at our local food store. ( theheritage.com)' You have to watch anything and everything he eats. I have found out that candy you would never had guessed contained wheat have wheat in them.Restaurant wise the only restaurant that serves gluten free fries is hooters lol. I know what you are going through. Feel free to PM me . My daughter was diagnosed at 4. FYI. The bread is hard as a rock and doesn't taste like bread. Kinninnick is the only food that tastes close to wheat at all. Look out for barley and other grains as well. Good luck. http://www.foodallergy.org/ http://cherrybrookkitchen.com/ http://www.recipezaar.com/recipes/gluten-free http://google2.fda.gov/search?q=gluten+free&client=FDAgov&site=FDAgov&lr=&proxystylesheet=FDAgov&output=xml_no_dtd&getfields=*&x=15&y=15
There is a lot of information on this website, I hope it helps. Good luck. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/celiac-disease/AN00303
I don't have celiac disease, but many of the members in my family have it, and i've tried a what free diet. Surprisingly lots of things have wheat in them, you would actually be surprised. I would say rice is pretty good, although sometimes rice does have wheat in it, but rare, that's a safe bet. Walmart is the best, they have a special section of foods.... Rice and corn based products are the best... The baby is still pretty young, but once older, she/ he can eat snickers and reese's.... Hope this helps a little
Avoid wheat and gluten, which are in everything. Get on the Internet and read a lot. Here's the heading for celiac disease diet. http://www.google.com/search?q=celiac+disease+diet&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a This is the one for children's celiac disease diet http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=celiac+disease+diet+children&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
