You can outgrow gluten sensitivity, and it comes in waves, too.  So stop worrying.  My friend's daughter had it for ONE year before testing proved she was in the clear.

Rather than place blame upon these teachers, talk to them.  You know there IS a stomach bug going around.  Four colleagues have it.  So it may be coincidental.  [/quote]

Even if I accepted that one can occaisionally outgrow a gluten intolerance, why would that mean the OP shouldn't worry.  There are lots of medical conditions that can be temporarily life threatening.  Should the parent with the child with a severe peanut allergy be cavalier about what their child eats because some fraction of PA kids outgrow their allergy?  Should the parent whose child has low immunity from chemo not worry about germs?

Whether or not she's going to outgrow it, the OP's child has a serious medical issue right now.  One that can have a major impact on her ability to grow and thrive.  She needs to be monitored carefully right now, regardless of what the future holds for her, and it appears the people who were supposed to provide that monitoring failed to do so.  Was it out of malice?  No, but there's something that needs to be addressed.  Perhaps they didn't understand the severity, and thus didn't set up structures to protect the child from grabbing another's food.  Perhaps there was a sub, or a teacher switch, and the new teacher wasn't informed, and they need a system for doing so.  Whatever change is needed, the OP can't bring it around without talking to the school so they know what happened.

OP, I'm not going to give advice becuase I assume you've already started the conversation.  Good luck and I hope your daughter feels better soon. [/quote]
