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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?
