Gluten Free Diet And Other Allergies Help

Hi. I am new to this site and I need some help. I have a son who is 7 has Asperger's and ADHD we have tested for allergies and Celiac both were neg. My 4 year old seems fine but then we get to my 1 year old dau. she is very allergic to MILK, EGG, WHEAT, OAT, BARLEY, RYE, BUCKWHEAT, GLUTEN, SOY, TOMATO, POTATO, PEA. PEANUT, CARROT, FISH, SHELLFISH.

I am finding it impossible to feed the poor child. She has not been tested for Celiac I don't know if I should ask for it or not since we already know she is very allergic to Gluten. I have her on a elemental formula Ped. E028 and she does well on it but she needs real food. Having the older two children does not help matters since they want PB&J sandwichs on Whole Wheat Bread (thought we were good parents and started the kids as babies on whole wheat instead of white).

I have looked at a few cookbooks but there never seems to be a receipe that I can use that is safe for my dau. Can anyone tell me what to do or if there is a cookbook that covers all of her problems out there? Right now I have been giving her cooked meat and chicken (doc. wants to take her off Chicken to see if that is giving her leg rashs) I have also found a puffed corn cereal from Arrowmills I think that is ok. PLEASE HELP. Kimberly bkcjnash@yahoo.com

Do you use Rice milk? Lundenberg farms makes some, but check the ingrediants - I know they are corn, dairy, and gluten free (my problems). Try Enjoy Life products - they make bagels, breads, cereals, cookies, and snack bars. You can find them online. They don't use the 8 common allergens or corn or potato. Applesauce can be a great snack - Organic Wholekids Apple and Peach sauce is very yummy. Is she allergic to all nuts? There are so many other nut butters out there too to make sandwiches with. Ener-G brand (though not my favorite) makes items that can help with various allergies. They are online too. Check Nana's gluten free cookie bars - they don't use soy or corn either, but I can't recall the other ingrediants. Home made hamburgers might be nice for her with veggies and ketchup/mustard (Annie's naturals makes gluten-free sauces/condiments, though check on other ingrediants) - then again, I don't have children, maybe they don't need/use condiments?. Turkey may be another option, though not sure if that causes a rxn in people with chicken allergies. Will try to think of more ideas for you.

It might be nice to test your daughter for celiac, just so you know for future information/issues. celiac disease has been linked to other health problems (thyroid problems, skin problems, sore joints, mental health issues, tooth enamel probs., etc), so if a doc knows she has celiac disease, it may make future diagnosing easier. Then again, none of those health prob.s is quarenteed, so don't want to cause you more anxiety. Anyway, good luck.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
