my 13 year old has been diagnosed as gluten intolerant. do you know how difficult it is to get her to eat everything without gluten seems to taste disgusting.:cry:
 
they were very long and hard to come to as she complained of headaches, sore tummy, sore bones, sore throat and continual nasal drip. eventually had a hair allergy test done and they came back with the diagnosis. family doctor threw up his hands and said we must get second opinion as he thought it was just stress.

Why does he think it's stress?
 
cause she does have a lot of stress with school - she is a very small girl and gets bullied.

Well find a way to fix that before blaming gluten.

Tell her to spend breaks in the school library instead of exposing herself to other kids (with f*ed up parents). {Remember the problems of kids are not of their own doing. Every kid with a problem has a problematic parent behind him/her. A bully is a bully becasue he/she is motivated into being that.}

no he has tried this has been going on for about 3- 4 years and we have done all sorts of tests and x -rays
 
have done that but they come looking for her and the teachers and the school don't seem to think that there is a problem. I agree that it is the parents and not really the kids cause they just behave as F####ed parents let them.
 
Speak to the teacher if the teacher doesn't know what to do, speak to the principal.

I have spoken to kids about leaving other children alone. The problem disappeared. It is possible. And I'm not even an intimidating guy ... even to hard-ass primary school kids.
 
There's tons online. Search for it and you'll find recipes for good stuff you can make, and tips to make things taste better. Also have a look in the Dischem food aisle for prepared items that are gluten-free, and flours you can use to make gluten-free goods. Bakeries sell gluten-free bread. Pizza places make gluten-free bases. It's really not as bad to survive with this as before.

The key would be educating her about it so she can look out for it herself and be aware of what she eats, and is able to choose for herself.
 
Read all labels carefully; it creeps up in the strangest things...
