DS school cocked up again, DS has severe intolerance to wheat/gluten/dairy, we finally sorted out school dinners before summer hols, DS went back on Tuesday last week, Thursday the school phoned to inform me the kitchens (food cooked at different school and delivered) 'lost list' of what DS can't have. DS had been having contamination symptoms but I couldn't pin point what it was - appears to have been his dinners on Tue and Wed at school. Queue strong worded letter and another updated care plan. Would you mind have a read see if I have missed anything?
Thank you :o)
CARE PLAN
This care plan is for Wangles DS (know was ).
NAME: Wangles DS
DATE OF BIRTH: 8th October 2003
ADDRESS:
TELEPHONE NO:
DIAGNOSES
DS has been diagnosed with severe intolerance to WHEAT, GLUTEN and DAIRY. These diagnoses was made by Dr S from Bristol Children?s Hospital. He does not have an allergy and this is not life threatening however if he ingests any of these items it causes severe distress.
SYMPTOMS WHEN CONTAMINATED
Tummy ache
Tummy griping pains
Diarrhoea
Sweating (in severe contamination)
Very bad wind
Bloating
Tiredness
Whingy/clinginess
Bad behaviour
Inability to sit still and to pay any attention
DS is very good at describing what kind of tummy pain he is experiencing. He is also aware when he goes to the toilet what it looks like when he is contaminated. When he has diarrhoea he needs to go very quickly and quite often is unable to make it to the toilet in time.
Although the symptoms are not life threatening they impact on his life for up to a week after the incidence of consuming incorrect food.
Symptoms can come on as soon as 10 minutes after he has eaten wheat, gluten or dairy.
TREATMENT
There is no treatment. If symptoms are severe call DS?s Mother (see contacts) and she will collect him. If his mother is not available, call his grandparents (see contacts).
OTHER ISSUES TO CONSIDER
Baking in the classroom - if DS is using wheat flour or dairy products (ie butter) make sure he is aware it is wheat and that he must wash his hands when he finishes. I am happy to supply baking ingredients DS can use. If he is sent home with baking please make him aware whether he can eat it or not.
Pasta - If pasta is used in the classroom make DS aware he needs to wash his hands.
Playdough - if homemade may well have been made with wheat flour.
It does not matter if wheat, gluten or dairy touches DS?s skin. This will not affect him, however, he does still suck his thumb and by doing this he then ingests the items which cause problems.
FOOD & OTHER ISSUES WITH HIDDEN WHEAT/GLUTEN/DAIRY
Gravy powder
Stock cubes
Packet mixes
Chips (sometimes coated in wheat)
Fruit & Barley squash contains gluten
Wheat/Gluten/Dairy have to be listed as an allergen on food.
Kitchen equipment can also cause issues - baking trays that have previously held wheat/gluten/dairy food can then be passed onto free from food.
Fryers - free from food must not be cooked in oil that has cooked wheat/gluten/dairy.
If you have any issues relating to this please do not hesitate to contact me (mother) for clarification.
