Hi

My 21mnths old has been having symptoms I think are related to wheat/gluten (his dad is very sensitive but hasn't been tested)

So, until we can talk to his Dr more at his 2yr check up, I m trying him on a gluten-free diet and so far so good

I picked up energy for life bread and it is a little tough to work with..very crumbley?

Is there a bread that you can rec?

Also, i picked up a list of gluten-free products from WF and is notes that canola oil is gluten free but not always rec for people on a gluten-free diet?

I always use canola oil on my son's rice pasta...does anyone have any info regarding canola oil?

can I continue to use it..should I avoid it??

Thanks, Kim

You might try Kinnnicknnick (sp) bread or the Whole Foods bread. Both types I like. From my experience gluten-free bread is a bit crumbly but you do get used to it. I think it helps to toast the bread.

I have never heard to not use canola oil, sorry no help there!

Canola oil is gluten-free. I too was told to watch out for it but quickly learned it was not a problem.

Canola oil is one of the two oils that I use, the other being Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I read in the last few months, can't remember where, that some of the regular olive oils can be "watered down" with vegetable oil and rather than wonder, rather than skimp, I just use the extra virgin which I prefer anyway.

My toddler 26 months has been recently diagnosed as well. His father has Celiac and wont follow the diet <_< I know the frustration. The best gluten-free bread Ive found is from Food for Life Brown Rice bread, its pretty dense and doesnt crumble. I use a sandwich maker to heat it and it works well with chicken,turkey sandwiches. My son wont eat any kind of rice pasta. I feel like he lives on GR waffles, cereal and chicken, turkey sandwiches...

Thanks for your response

Can I ask what your ds symptoms were??

My ds seems to have some but not all of the classic symptoms..so I am not sure if he is a true celiac or just extremely wheat/gluten sensitive

I hear ya about how tough feeding them is..my son is also dairy/soy free!

He mostly eats

Fruit:banana, grapes, apples, raisins, watermelon, etc

Envirokiz cereal

Envirokidz rice bars (loves these pb and berry)

Pamela's cookies (PB are his fav)

Whole foods shoestring ff and tator totts (w/ ketchup)

Rice chex and oatmeal

Grilled chicken/hamburger

bread with pb/jelly

sorbet

rice pasta

I also don't get men...I never thought his bathroom trips seemed Ok to me

How can u eat something that would make you feel like that..

I am urging him to get testes

His mother (my mil) has had a ton of unexplained GI problems for a long time now

They are both good height/weight though?

Thanks, kim

I just bought EnerG bread. It is pretty good. My boys did not complain at all. It wasn't crumbly. I also made Gluten free Pantry bread mix. It was easy and came out pretty good. That wasn't crumbly either.

My Husband is also giving me a hard time about getting tested. He has all the symptoms plus uncontrolable diabetes. It's so annoying.

My toddler had never had a formed stool. Everyone in the family was saying oh we had to put him in the tub/shower" he had diarrhea up his back spilling over the diaper." I said no way is this ok somethings wrong... I breatfed for the first year so I thought it had to do with breatfeeding but when it continue into the second year I knew something was going on. I also kept making comments to family that he looked pale, with dark circles under his eyes, thin. I was anemic after he was born because they had cut my bladder during the cesearean so I had wondered if he might have anemia because I was severly anemic but my familt kept saying hes fine he looked okay. I wasnt convinced. my instincts were telling me something with him.Hes been GFx 4 months and Ive finally seen a weight gain even though the pediatrician never picked it up and said he was 50 percentile for weight. His hemoglobin was slightly abnormal 4 months ago not too bad but I think we caught it early. I was a nurse and had remembered the signs and symptoms from learning about Celiac in school and my son was beginning to fit this picture. Now his dd thats another story. when we were dating I remember him almost not making it to the bathroom. 10-12 trips to the bathroom a day. He said he was told he had IBS. I thought this poor guy. Then his mom tells me hes been like this since he was an infant! Go figure? Whats up with my MIL? Now since my childs diagnosis hes having a hard time running from the reality of his problem. We shall see. I just wish he would go gluten-free/ I would it would be better for all of us...

Have you tried him on the Tinkyada pasta. Thanks to this group here I just found this and it is very good. I find it needs to be cooked longer than regular pasta to get it to a nice el dente.

Sorry to hear that your husband or anyone would not go gluten-free if they know they have Celia. Does he not realize what can happen to him down the road if he doesn't get this poison out of his body? I have a serious neurological disorder caused by exposure to gluten. I was not being defiant, I didn't know that gluten was my problem. I was diagnosed with a food sensitivty to all grains except rice and oats. I eliminated all the big offenders - breads, cakes, pies etc. Gluten was never mentioned. Only this year did I get to the celiac/gluten connection. Sometimes I would eat cookies or crackers but in very limited amounts. I cut back until I was symptom free. Not enough. Now - 15 years later I have this problem that limits my life, endanges my safety and threatens my future independence. Your husband needs to know that this is not a disease to be trifled with. There are things far worse than gluten free - like a bunch of nasty diseases that spin off of celiac - and this major threat to the nervous system. Claire

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Thanks this is helpful. Couple of follow -ups- that critical point till it stays silent is age dependent or dependent on continuing to eat gluten. In other words if she is on gluten-free diet can she stay on silent celiac disease forever?    what are the most cost effective yet efficient test to track the inflammation/antibodies and see if gluten-free is working .

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the community forum, @Anmol! There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be administered when diagnosing celiac disease and it is normal that not all of them will be positive. Three out of four that were run for you were positive. It looks pretty conclusive that you have celiac disease. Many physicians will only run the tTG-IGA test so I applaud your doctor for being so thorough. Note, the Immunoglobulin A is not a test for celiac disease per se but a measure of total IGA antibody levels in your blood. If this number is low it can cause false negatives in the individual IGA-based celiac antibody tests. There are many celiacs who are asymptomatic when consuming gluten, at least until damage to the villous lining of the small bowel progresses to a certain critical point. I was one of them. We call them "silent" celiacs".  Unfortunately, being asymptomatic does not equate to no damage being done to the villous lining of the small bowel. No, the fact that your wife is asymptomatic should not be viewed as a license to not practice strict gluten free eating. She is damaging her health by doing so and the continuing high antibody test scores are proof of that. The antibodies are produced by inflammation in the small bowel lining and over time this inflammation destroys the villous lining. Continuing to disregard this will catch up to her. While it may be true that a little gluten does less harm to the villous lining than a lot, why would you even want to tolerate any harm at all to it? Being a "silent" celiac is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing in the sense of being able to endure some cross contamination in social settings without embarrassing repercussions. It's a curse in that it slows down the learning curve of avoiding foods where gluten is not an obvious ingredient, yet still may be doing damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. GliadinX is helpful to many celiacs in avoiding illness from cross contamination when eating out but it is not effective when consuming larger amounts of gluten. It was never intended for that purpose. Eating out is the number one sabotager of gluten free eating. You have no control of how food is prepared and handled in restaurant kitchens.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Welcome to the forum community, @ekelsay! Yes, your tTG-IGA score is strongly positive for celiac disease. There are other antibody tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease but the tTG-IGA is the most popular with physicians because it combines good sensitivity with good specificity, and it is a relatively inexpensive test to perform. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life and the size of the score is not necessarily an indicator of the progress of the disease. It is likely that you you experienced onset well before you became aware of symptoms. It often takes 10 years or more to get a diagnosis of celiac disease after the first appearance of symptoms. In my case, the first indicator was mildly elevated liver enzymes that resulted in a rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross at age 37. There was no GI discomfort at that point, at least none that I noticed. Over time, other lab values began to get out of norm, including decreased iron levels. My PCP was at a complete loss to explain any of this. I finally scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because the liver enzymes concerned me and he tested me right away for celiac disease. I was positive and within three months of gluten free eating my liver enzymes were back to normal. That took 13 years since the rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross. And my story is typical. Toward the end of that period I had developed some occasional diarrhea and oily stool but no major GI distress. Many celiacs do not have classic GI symptoms and are "silent" celiacs. There are around 200 symptoms that have been associated with celiac disease and many or most of them do not involve conscious GI distress. Via an autoimmune process, gluten ingestion triggers inflammation in the villous lining of the small bowel which damages it over time and inhibits the ability of this organ to absorb the vitamins and minerals in the food we ingest. So, that explains why those with celiac disease often suffer iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical issues. The villous lining of the small bowel is where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. So, yes, anemia is one of the classic symptoms of celiac disease. One very important thing you need to be aware of is that your PCP may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the blood antibody testing. So, you must not begin gluten free eating until that is done or at least you know they are going to diagnose you with celiac disease without it. If you start gluten free eating now there will be healing in the villous lining that will begin to take place which may compromise the results of the biopsy.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Hello all- my wife was recently diagnosed with Celiac below are her blood results. We are still absorbing this.  I wanted to seek clarity on few things:  1. Her symptoms aren't extreme. She was asked to go on gluten free diet a couple years ago but she did not completely cut off gluten. Partly because she wasn't seeing extreme symptoms. Only bloating and mild diarrhea after a meal full of gluten.  Does this mean that she is asymptomatic but enormous harm is done with every gram of gluten.? in other words is amount gluten directly correlated with harm on the intestines? or few mg of gluten can be really harmful to the villi  2. Why is she asymptomatic?  3. Is Gliadin X safe to take and effective for Cross -contamination or while going out to eat?  4. Since she is asymptomatic, can we sometimes indulge in a gluten diet? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deamidated Gliadin, IgG - 64 (0-19) units tTG IgA -  >100 (0-3) U/ml tTG IgG - 4   (0-5) Why is this in normal range? Endomysial Antibody - Positive  Immunoglobulin A - 352 (87-352) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for help in advance, really appreciate!
