Dr. Fasano diet for 6 year old, (gluten contamination elimination diet)


CeliacMommaX2

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where I can get more info about Dr. Fasano's diet?  I plan to start my 6 year old on it and can't any find details... I have so many questions!  Any blogs out there that anyone knows about with recipes/ideas?

Why no frozen fruit?  I get that frozen veggies are often processed with seasonings, but fruit?

Why is Gatorade allowed?!

Can I make my own rice flour to use?

Is the following allowed:  fresh garlic, peanuts, ground beef/turkey, cocoa, maple syrup, sugar, coconuts, cinnamon sticks... (that's my list so far)

Thanks for any help anyone has!!!

This has study contains a table with the list of foods:

I think the diet is trying to avoid all processed foods.  I have no idea why Gatoraid is on the list!  There must be a reason that some foods are not included.  You would think that garlic, fresh should be fine.   Same goes for unshelled peanuts.  Ground meats you would think too should be fine if not ground by a butcher who stuffs chicken breasts or chops.  The other items are processed.  Even frozen fruit has the possibility of being contaminated.  

DR. Fasano's Gluten Freedom book does advise that this diet be supervised by a celiac-savvy dietician and or doctor.

Feel free to try what ever diet works for you and modify it a bit to make it a tad more healthy. PS plain rice noodles from JUST rice are available from the lundberg rice company. I would personally just avoid all processed foods, Anything with added sugars, or questionable content. I personally found my perfect diet just this last month by eliminating all grains, fruits, and starchy veggies moving over to a high fat/protein diet free of most carbs.  We are all different in the way our body works and we each pretty much to tailor make a custom diet to each of our bodies that works best for us. Took me 3 years of tweaking so far and I still feel it needs a tad adjustment.  

I got to admit that list is a tad funny on some allowed and not allowed.....I for one will never eat real dairy again, mix thing really between a 10 year intolerance and a bit of a stepped back and logical point of view, and mixed research.   But that is another long winded story, and while on that note we do suggest dropping dairy for the first few months due to the way the body processes it in relationship to damaged intestines.

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers? 
    • Scott Adams
      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide.  Both linked to cancers.  Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers.  A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis celiac disease experience exacerbation of the rash with iodine. The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect Crying Wolf?

      same! how amazing you have a friend who has celiac disease. i find myself wishing i had someone to talk about it with other than my partner (who has been so supportive regardless)
    • RMJ
      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.
