Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 How long have you been GF? My little boy slept for the first 2 wks GF an extreme amount of time. He was falling alseep at 4:30pm and not waking up till morning, we could not make him wake-up either which was bit scary. He's been GF for about 6 months now (wow, time flies) and he has been napping this week and he hasn't napped for over a year except on occassion. He is 3 1/2 almost 4. I tend to think that 'tiredness' is a way of the body to tell you to slow down, I need rest to heal or in kids grow. Rejoyce Winchester, VA > > Last week I mentioned how much better I feel. Yesterday I felt tired again, and this morning I feel really tired again. I've gone back and reviewed my diet, but can't find any offenders. The foods I've eaten aren't all labeled gf, but the ingredient list is okay and the ones that have " natural flavors " I called on (con-agra products). The only change is last week I was a few days before my period, and today I'm on day 5 of my cycle. Is is possible that hormones play a role in celiac symptoms? > > - in Fort Worth > > > > --------------------------------- > Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Off topic, but in my son's preschool, 5th disease is spreading like wildfire. It doesn't have many symptoms but tiredness is an indication. I think my son finished the cycle yesterday - the red spot on his face that looked like someone slapped him. The other symptom is a mild fever (we didn't seem to have that one). It is realitively harmless in kids but dangerous around a pregnant woman.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I've been gf for about six weeks now, with two errors that I am aware of. The last time I felt like this I found that I made a food mistake 12 hours prior to the symptoms. This time I can't find any.Rejoyce Hanson wrote: How long have you been GF?My little boy slept for the first 2 wks GF an extreme amount of time.He was falling alseep at 4:30pm and not waking up till morning, wecould not make him wake-up either which was bit scary.He's been GF for about 6 months now (wow, time flies) and he has beennapping this week and he hasn't napped for over a year except onoccassion.

What the doctor probably didn't tell you is that it can flare up again for about 2 years. We also learned that for a long time (maybe three years?) after a child has had it, their cheeks can get that " slapped look " every time they run a fever - it was a better indicator than the thermometer of when my son was getting sick.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Thanks for the information. I didn't know about the flare ups. We never went to the doctor as I didn't really realize we had it until it was over but went by the information sent home from school. Good to know! Thanks.

This time I can't find any. MJ (the celiac in our family) has been GF for about 15 months now, and we are (we hope!) getting close to the end of the little things that don't immediately come to mind. In her case, the first evidence of a problem is as apt to be DH as it is gastric. A few examples: cookware - we finally replaced all wooden utensils that had been used prior to GF with flour Chocolate - (we have a weakness here - especially for dark chocolate, which is supposed to be " good for you " ) - some brands are not GF, and in particular Hershey's miniatures contain malt. Soups from the freezer that dated back to before GF: need to be sure which ones had some flour and which are OK. -- n : jt@... http://jt-mj.net In the beautiful Finger Lakes Wine Country of New York State!

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I did call about the chocolate I've eaten recently (Cadbury's Royal Dark) and the people at Hershey said there wasn't anything in it. Even if I were to eat an unfamiliar brand, wouldn't the label list malt or barley?n wrote: In , on 02/15/06 at 08:34 AM, wendy pandolfo typed:>I've been gf for about six weeks now, with two errors that I am aware of.>The last time I felt like this I found that I made a food mistake 12>hours prior to the symptoms.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I just went to Hershey's web site, which is one of those irritating flashy but uninformative sites, trying to look at the label for the hershey's miniatures. I have had the miniature milk chocolate and dark chocolate without noticing any problems, and I was wondering where the barley malt would be? It seems strange to me that the formula for those mini-bars would be different than the formula for the larger bars (but I know companies can be crazy like that). TIA for explaining the situation to me > In this case - the Hershey's Miniatures, we had been buying the > individually wrapped ones from a bulk bin and the nutritional info is only > on the bags that have a lot of miniatures.
