My Daughter Is Having Blood Tests Done Wednesday

My daughter has anemia and they are suspicious of celiac because of malabsorption issues and my history. THe hematologist told her not to change her diet, but I'm wondering if I should do a two day wheat binge with her or if we are too late at this point. She has been eating what she normally eats (which includes plenty of breads and wheat products) and I did buy wheat bread which she has been having some of last week.

Thanks. :)

P.S. She is 17, so she is definitely capable of telling me when it's making her feel bad - didn't want you to think I was torturing a little one or anything. Plus, stomach problems are not a major issue for her right now.

Although my son was on a 'gluten' diet before his bloods I did up the 'ante' slightly in the weeks before.

He would never eat bread or cakes (mmmm big sign! :rolleyes: ) so I used to sneak it in.

I used to stir flour into his gravy on dinners and also his porridge - and allowed more junk food than normal :o (KFC = gluten)

He was getting gluten in all 3 meals a day.

He never complained of stomach pain either - but had pos+ bloods and went on to have pos+ biopsy

:)

      Can you get more EBT benefits if you have celiac disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @brian1 I'm a UK based Moderator here on the forum.  If you are British, you may find that in your region you might be able to get certain gluten-free food (usually staples like bread) on prescription.  I recommend you ring Coeliac UK for the most up-to-date advice on this. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/home/ There is some advice here for UK coeliacs which might also be of use, on how to best navigate the gluten-free diet on a budget. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/living-gluten-free/the-gluten-free-diet/gluten-free-diet-on-a-budget/ I am afraid I don't know anything about the benefits you mention but maybe the charity can help?

      Legumes can be a source of wheat contamination, but I assume that you use versions labelled "gluten-free."

      Thiamine supplementation

      You may want to look into Benfotiamine, which is the fat soluble version of B1.

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Be sure all testing is completed before going gluten-free, that is, unless you are certain that gluten is the culprit and have decided not to eat it again. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
