Hello group...

Yesterday, Laura B.'s post about Caltrate really got me thinking  
about how lucky we all are to live in a time where total strangers  
are able to share and benefit from one another's experiences and  
discoveries.   I really feel so fortunate and thank all of you for  
your posts that I continue to learn from.

My 11 year old Celiac daughter has been gluten free for over 2 years  
and feeling so much better.  For the past 2 weeks, however, she has  
not been feeling well and looks a lot like her pre-diagnosis self -  
nauseous all the time, especially after eating, tired, cranky, achy,  
tingly, etc.  We have been assuming there is accidental gluten  
exposure happening somewhere and have been desperately trying to  
figure out what it could be.  When I read Laura's post, I thought  
that Caltrate could be the key as my daughter has been taking it 2x/ 
day for more recently diagnosed osteoporosis.  However, I just got  
off the phone with the company and they assured me that Caltrate was  
still gluten free (although, they were not able to identify for me  
the "modified food starch" listed on the label and just told me it  
must be from corn or it would be labeled more specifically...it  
troubled me that they said this information was "proprietary" and  
they were unable to identify the starch and that even they did not  
have access to this information).

That being said, we are back to square one, trying to figure out what  
is going on with my daughter.  I have contacted the manufacture's of  
her favorite foods to reconfirm GF status and have not yet found  
anything that makes me suspicious.  I have also begun to wonder if  
she is developing another food allergy or intolerance or if there is  
some other organ involved - it is clearly connected to eating, though.

Has anyone had an experience like this?  I would be so grateful for  
any thoughts you might have... it is so awful to see a loved one  
suffering and not know how to help.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.   I wonder, also, if we might, as a group, have a uniform  
subject line that would help everyone quickly identify those posts  
which indicate the discovery of a product reformulation that has  
resulted in the loss of GF status?  Thanks again to Laura B. for the  
Caltrate post!
