it takes little while for you to see the differeence, but she will feel the difference in her tummy after a week, She will really feel the difference if after a month on the diet she "slips up and eats something not on her food list," and so you will you as she react to the stomach acke. I am hard headed and it took a few slips ups to keep me on the diet, because of the pain in my tummy!! Hang in there, it will get better and more places have glutien free food to buy

my daughter gets a gluten / casein free lunch at her school. It's quite helpful keeping her diet on the straight and narrow, although I'm really not sure how effective it actually is.

Call me old fashioned, but what is the thinking about no bag lunches? That's all I ever took to school.

get a written meal list, circle what she can not eat. Talk with the Director and the person who cooks for the day care showing them what she can not eat. Get a written list of the foods that she will be fed at the school. I think if they see the limitations of their program and how it would be so easy to let you provide the food for her. Stress the problem of the accidentally getting gluten/casein that is hidden in the food and how it makes her ill. You might have a chance to allow her to bring her food. I am on a gluten free diet and I understand the need to stay on the diet and all the hidden gluten by products in foods. It is much eatery to bring my food or eat at home. Hope this helps
