Not Sure What Upset My Stomach.

All I had last night out of the normal was Malibu Rum and Dailey's Pina Colada mix. I am not sure if it is possible I had a reaction to this?

I also ate cheesy potatoes (dairy really doesn't bother me), and some dark dove chocolates (which I eat under normal circumstances and have never had an issue). That's it.

How long have you been gluten-free? Are you celiac or non-celiac gluten intolerant?

 

When we first go gluten-free, just about anything can set us off. While we are still healing our guts are so sensitive even gluten-free foods will sometimes make us sick. Also, alcohol can be a problem for us because we are now absorbing things better.

If you didn't make the potatoes, are you sure they were gluten-free?

And I second what Barty said.

Thank you for the replies!  :)

 

Diagnosed celiac. Since July 1st.

 

I drink wine on a regular basis and it doesn't ever mess with me. 

I made the potatoes from scratch, no box mix. 

 

:unsure: I have no clue. As I am sure you know, it can be so hard to judge where a person might even picked up cross contamination. I think that's my hardest thing since going gluten free. I know my kitchen is 100% safe but eating with others... is a challenge. And Thanksgiving was just a day and a half ago. :rolleyes:

I double checked what I had read before about Dailys, and their website currently states all their products are gluten free.  On the rare occasion I drink alcohol, I really like their strawberry frozen drink thingy.  

 

Anyways, maybe it was a combination of all the heavy food that gave you a little tummy trouble?  Especially around a holiday people tend to not eat their normal kind of food.  If you still suspect that you were sensitive to something in what you ate, try those same things again, one at a time, very spread out, on days where you eat something you know you are okay with.  And if none of them cause you trouble, you can chalk it up to just eating differently around the holiday.  It can be hard to differentiate what causes symptoms.

 

And welcome to the forum :)

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
