I would ask about nutrient testing and AI disease monitoring - diabetes, thyroid, etc. that's important.

 

Oh yes, I got that advice from someone else on the forum as well...don't remember who.  The GI has Celiac himself, so I'm hoping....

It sounds like you're doing the right things. I hope your appointments go well.

Thank you, it is nice to hear that from someone who has "been there."  With something so "iffy" I am constantly second guessing myself.  Then my husband has moments when he second guesses- we were sitting in the allergist's office and he says "Do you think it is at least possible her reaction (when we had to go to the ER) was coincidental to giving her bread?".....I wanted to punch him.  Irrational, I know.  Nonetheless.....

I think that's normal. It will be easier as she gets older.

And btw, your house has gluten in it...and she seems highly sensitive...have you considered a gluten-free household? Cc may explain her lingering symptoms of eczema. A low iodine diet may help with the dh type sores.

I have.  We have talked about it.  The only thing holding us back is possible testing for my 13mo old.  If M's genetics test comes back that she is genetically predisposed, I want to have E (my 13mo old son) genetically tested, and then possibly have the Celiac panels run on him as well.  Also, possibly having hubby and I tested.....  Well you see where this is going.  From what I am understanding, if E is genetically predisposed to Celiac, but does not (at least yet) have the disease, the best thing for him to do is eat gluten.  By all means, correct me if I'm wrong.  But that is the only thing really holding me back from going gluten-free as a household.

You could give him gluten in safer ways...things that aren't crumbly. Perhaps a wheat cereal that you can easily control, or even wheat bran in hot cereal. I've found crumbly things are NO NO's. they get everywhere, and a 3 year old will NOT discriminate about what she touches. And a 13 month old won't care where he spreads it :).

Oh I know.  It has been crazy.  M does know not to EAT E's cheerios (my in laws provided us with about 8 boxes.....) but she picks up the snack trap he has them in..... :(  We don't let anyone carry around foods containing gluten, and we do our best to contain it.  I know it isn't ideal, but we are getting better at it.  I have a separate area of the kitchen where her utensils, plates, etc. and snacks are kept, separate cookware and storage containers, etc.  Just need to get through those d@mn cheerios....  We eat mostly whole foods as a rule, with gluten-free Chex for the kids for a snack.  My husband and I will keep bread and other gluten containing snacks at our respective offices.  Toaster is in a separate room, etc.   We keep modifying the way we do things as we learn new and safer ways.  I just threw out a bunch of skin care products.... :(

I find it goes better the other way - the house is gluten-free and any gluten is controlled like cyanide. 

 

I toss my Dad outside on the patio with his bread. Seriously. He doesn't complain.

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Janet McAlpin! Using the gluten-free label doesn't mean there is 0 gluten in a product. It means there is <20ppm of gluten according to FDA standards. So, it is not surprising that there is some gluten in this product. What is the sensitivity of the ELISA test you are using? And the NIMA device has a reputation for giving erratic results.

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Janet McAlpin · Posted

      Hello all, I have been using Elisa tests to slowly go through many ingredients in my kitchen to confirm they are gluten-free. Today, after eating Bob's Red Mill TVP, I didn't feel great. I decided to test it and the result found gluten. I am going to test all the Bob's Red Mill products I use regularly with the Elisa tests. I have found them to be quite accurate. I also use NIMA and can't wait for them to be back! I'll keep you posted! Janet

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      Thank you for your reply Knitty Kitty (from a fellow knitter) My TSH and T4 is within normal range, and has been checked along with the rest of my bloodwork consistently over the past many years. I am very aware of Hashimoto's since my mom has it  (she does not have celiac disease, her other autoimmune disease is diabetes (which I am monitored for but don't have - I "only" have allergies).  And yes - I eat iodized salt to protect my thyroid. Good suggestions though and thank you for the links.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/

      @Mettedkny, Have you had your thyroid checked lately?  People with thyroid problems like Hashimoto's thyroiditis produce tTg IgG antibodies whether exposed to gluten or not.  Hashimoto's is another autoimmune disease frequently found with Celiac disease.  Do you eat iodized salt or sea salt?   P. S.  Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/
