2.5yo Gf 24hrs And Behaviour Has Gone Crazy!

OK, so I've read that people can be affected when they get glutened, but how about going gluten-free?

We made the switch from lunchtime yesterday and all was well, he even slept through the night last night (that was a miracle in itself). But OMG, this morning it's like some crazy child has been unleashed - screaming, crying, disagreeable, not listening (this isn't new) and it's only lunchtime here now.

Is this normal or maybe it's just a normal off toddler day???

I feel like ripping my hair out already, fortunately DH is here to share the load.

When I first changed my diet I was WAY worse. I'm thinking it could have been withdrawl. My second week of the diet was a huge improvement. Gluten is highly addictive and some people do experience withdrawl symptoms.

It could be withdrawal symptoms..... but then again, it sounds exactly like my 4 yr old son when he has chocolate...... he turns into hell on wheels!!!!! It also sounds alot like a terrible two day........

My dd is 3 and we took her off gluten when she was 2 1/2. She had withdraw symptoms for a short amount of time. After a couple of weeks we could tell that their was marked improvement. :) I remember going through the grocery store and she started yelling "crackos," (crackers.) She also craved mac & cheese, she could have eaten that and bread until she could eat no more.

Now, she doesn't seem to crave those foods like she did. :)

I know it's hard sometimes to tell what's normal toddler behavior and what isn't. After your ds body has time to heal and has made the adjustments you'll be able to tell the difference in the sypmtoms and behavior.

Hang in there.....it will get better!! :)

Ok ...I could have sworn I just responded to this and now my reply is not there so I will add it again:

I would not expect a change so soon. Most people do not see improvement that fast and if you do you are one of the few and lucky.

Took me 8 months to get back to normal. Some people get better sooner and some longer...depends on many factors. Usually kids see an improvement faster so hopefully it gets better soon.

Also, at first there can be hidden gluten sneaking in.

If you need some lists that can help make things easier you can email me and I can send them to you.

Hang in there

We are going through the same thing!! Our son has been gluten-free for 2 weeks and now he has energy! He is running and playing and doing all of the things he never had the energy to do before.... On the downside he has the energy for "fits". He has never really acted out before and now...! He has started trying to hit and crying and not listening. He was even trying to climb up the door jam the other night!!!! My son had always slept with no problem now he wont even think about bed time, as a matter of fact he is having a fit about going to be tonight. This is crazy.

      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.
