Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 DD is almost 3 and we're getting blood tests soon.

We aregrateful to have been given a diagnosis so quickly since we have readsome horror stories about how long it takes people. When we firststarting testing I immediately put him on a GF diet and he respondedwithin just a few days. That was good enough for me, but it's alwaysnice to have a doc agree with you. ;-) (For irony, the show MedicalMysteries premiered the week Celiac was mentioned to us and they had aCeliac boy on the show...weird. :-D)Anyway, we are currently trying to get the bread making down. Not alot of success but I read a few things here today that may explain myproblems.One question I have is about Glutenfreeda.com...I saw it mentionedhere in a message...do you think it's worth the money? I have a fewof Betty Hagman's books but am particularly looking for recipes thatare quick AND fattening. Since I have kids, her fast cooking book isnot a huge help to us since it's for people on a diet. My son has FTTas a result of the Celiac and so he needs a lot of fattening foods toget him back to where he ought to be.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I had to fatten up my 2 year old after he was diagnosed as well. I did the same, whole milk instead of skim, lots of butter in everything, made scrambled eggs with lots of butter & some cheese, mashed potatoes with butter, cream cheese & sour cream, drank milkshakes, we did a lot of shepherd's pie too - he even had ice cream for breakfast for short while. Anything to pack on the pounds! I was desperate! You can also get Amy's Rice Crust pizza & add more cheese & pepperoni. And, we dipped lots of things in Ranch dressing - pizza in ranch, french fries in ranch, grilled chicken from Chick-fil-a in ranch. He gained weight really rapidly. Now we have a much more balanced diet, lots of fruit, skim milk, etc... He weighed 19 lbs from Jan - April of last year & had fallen off the growth chart, was dx & started gf diet in April (he was FTT too) & he now weighs 32 lbs & is in the 50% for weight. I really like glutenfreeda.com. I like the large archive of recipes, product testing & the " cooking school " items. I subscribed for a month before subscribing for a year. I haven't tried the other websites mentioned. But I've found myself prefering recipes that just don't have any gf substitutions period (and glutenfreeda has a lot of recipes that do have gf flour or bread.) I look to a lot of manufacturer websites now - www.kraftfoods.com, www.missionfoods.com, etc..., as well as through my own cookbooks for recipes that are naturally gluten free. I guess since my son was so young when dx, he doesn't have that taste for bread or creamy soups like we have, and I don't think he misses it, so I don't make bread or recipes with flour substitutions very often, unless it's a mix like Pamela's baking & pancake mix for pancakes & cookies, or www.madebymona.com's multi mix for graham crackers, or a recipe in one of Bette Hagman's cookbooks for cheese crackers. Good luck! > I have never used glutenfreeda so I can't comment on how good it is but I just wanted to tell you that I have always easily found gluten free recipes online without paying for any services. You can search the files section of this group for recipes. You will find recipes that are specifically gluten free on celiac.com, gluten.net, and delphiforums.com and lots of others, I am sure. I also mainly use allrecipes.com, foodnetwork.com and epicurious.com to search for good recipes that are sort of " naturally " gluten free. What I love about those sites is they have ratings by people who have tried the recipes and often make helpful comments or suggestions or just keep you from wasting your time on a recipe that is really bad. Also what I love about allrecipes.com is that you can do a search on specific ingredients you want to use and exclude ingredients you don't want (like flour, bread, etc.) and it will come up with a list for you. > > I have no idea what FTT is, but my son also needed a high fat diet when first diagnosed because he had become so ill (practically withered away to nothing). I just added fats wherever I could like cooked his potatoes in olive or canola oil--not deep fried like french fries but more like pan sauteed. I threw a scoop of sour cream into his mashed potatoes, added butter to his broccoli or whatever veggies, melted cheese over his rice or gluten free pasta-- things like that. Shepherd's pie is coming to mind as a good, non figure friendly meal that is naturally gluten free--just ground beef ,veggies and seasonings on bottom, topped with mashed potatoes (and cheese on that if you want), then baked. > > Hope this helps you somewhat even though I didn't answer your actual question. > > > > Newbie > > > Hi, > > My just turned 2yo was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Has she ever had a blood draw before? I was very nervous when my son had his (he had two in two months) but he just wimpered a bit the first time and tried to wiggle. He was very adult about it. The second time he didn't wiggle at all just a little cry when the needle first pricked him and that was it. I suspect that he has a higher pain threshhold than most kids because of all the pain he's been in since starting solids? Not sure, but that's my theory. With my other children, whenever they had to have something huge like this I took them to the store and bought them whatever they wanted. That works great on my niece and my second child...nothing works on my oldest. Shoot, he hides when *other* people are getting shots. roflol. I hope she will do well. When is she having her tests?

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Don't they just take it out of their finger?? I find that if, right before they prick, I say something funny or ask a question like what do you want for dinner? or Where should we go shopping at when we leave here? or What movie do you want to rent tonight? Usually breaks my guys concentration enough to get the "prick" done. By all means, DON"T LET her look!! Even I turn my head away!!

That was good enough for me, but it's alwaysnice to have a doc agree with you. ;-) (For irony, the show MedicalMysteries premiered the week Celiac was mentioned to us and they had aCeliac boy on the show...weird. :-D)Anyway, we are currently trying to get the bread making down. Not alot of success but I read a few things here today that may explain myproblems.One question I have is about Glutenfreeda.com...I saw it mentionedhere in a message...do you think it's worth the money? I have a fewof Betty Hagman's books but am particularly looking for recipes thatare quick AND fattening. Since I have kids, her fast cooking book isnot a huge help to us since it's for people on a diet. My son has FTTas a result of the Celiac and so he needs a lot of fattening foods toget him back to where he ought to be.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Sedatives. For you. Seriously, he’ll probably be fine. Mine is needle-phobic and I do have to get ativan for him before any blood draw. There is also a topical anesthetic the doctor can give you to put on an hour in advance. Forget what it’s called..
