Unless there is an issue with a topical allergy, soap isn't an issue for people with celiac. That said, because there is the possibility it could get in a small child's mouth with all the messing around in a tub, it can't hurt to be safe. J&J baby soap in the yellow bottle is gluten free. I used to use it. Eucerin Calming Body wash is also.

 

It is possible that your baby simply decided that she doesn't like baths or water. My daughter hated water and baths, screamed bloody murder and acted like she was being killed every time she was bathed from the time she was around one or so until she was almost 4. Drove me up a freakin' wall, but I was sure it was a water issue because she was the same way with pools.

 

If she only screams while she's being washed, she may also just have super sensitive skin and may not like the washcloths or the soap your using on her skin and it may be enough to make her crazy with how it feels on her. Or maybe it's a control issue and she just doesn't like you doing that to her. She's a good age for that sort of thing.

My daughter did love baths, but she hated her car seat.  We could never travel farther than what we could tolerate hearing which was about 20 minutes.  I used to visit my mom and on the way home, I'd sing out loud to attempt to cover up her screaming and calm her.  Didn't work though.  She was a tiny baby and we weren't able to turn her car seat around until she was over 22 pounds (I think) and that didn't happen until she was two years old!  Why not sooner?  My hubby was an airbag/seatbelt engineer!  When we turned her around, she stopped screaming.  It was a miracle.  I guess she hated driving backwards!

 

Who knew?  

 

So, I agree, it might not be a gluten issue.

 

I take that back.  She loved water until she saw, at about 18 months or so, A Winnie the Pooh movie (not the original) that showed Tigger pulling the plug and rabbit going down the drain (of course he popped up in his garden in the next scene).  Then my toddler was afraid of the bath drain but I solved that by covering it with a long bath mat.  The worst was taking swim lessons.  She would not go into the deep end where the "drain" was.  Only now (age 12) is she playing water polo.  Kids are extremely impressionable.  If only had a known (but really Disney?), but I was desperate and movie time was a great time for me to get cleaned up or pay bills.

At that age, she really doesn't need much soap if at all. A wash cloth would probably get most everything off... That's what we used for wipes too was wet baby wash clothes.

 

How about the water temperature. Maybe the temp bothers her.

 

Good luck. I hope you figure it out.

I don't know if she sits on the bottom of the tub or a mat. My kids loved baths but didn't like the slippery bottom. They sat on a rubbery, non- slip mat for a long time. Or maybe she would like to take a shower with you? One of mine loved that. I used a cup to rinse his hair and let him play with the cup and water. He just sat on the floor away from a direct spray.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      By RMJ · Posted

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means.  However, the way the result is presented  does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading
