newly diagnosed and looking for help

My 5 year old was just diagnosed this summer with celiacs.  We are trying very hard to remove all gluten in hopes that the hair loss she is experiencing will be reversed.  She is a very picky eater and is not happy about this.  Do celiac parents allow their child to eat the following:

Doritos (nacho cheese)

Trader Joes hash browns

snow cones from Mr. Softee (packaged)

 

These are items that I have researched and have been confused by the information I have seen online.

Thank you for your help.

Nacho cheese Doritos are my one processed food I allow myself as a treat. I check the label each time I get them though, always amazed I can eat them. But I couldn't have any dairy for nearly a year after going gluten-free. Made me sick. But thankfully afterwards it was ok. This is similar to many people on the board.

i do not know anything about the other 2 foods mentioned, sorry.

usually as a precaution and to speed healing, we recommend going about a year with zero processed foods and no eating out. Just eating whole, simple foods. Very healthy too!

Frito-Lay does not test this type of Doritos to see if it is gluten free.  They don't have gluten-containing ingredients, but could be contaminated.

BeanFields, and Beanitos makes a certified gluten free, corn free, version, and the beanfields one is vegan being dairy free. I can give you links where to get them online if you wish. I personally use Protes which are a carb and dairy free version but the flavor is very weak in them and the texture is VERY toasted and a acquired taste. You can find most of these on LuckyVitamin.com.

Doritos in Canada have gluten free on the packaging. There are definitely a staple in our house with 4 kids 13-21.  Unfortunately, my daughter who is the one with Celiac has never liked them, so it is in the house as an extra gluten-free food for her brothers to enjoy.  I am only six weeks into the diet and have crossed the border to the US to find gluten-free products we don't have here in Canada.  Don't know if you live close to the border, but you could definitely have our Doritos.

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I wonder how many doctors are aware of this site and would or should recommend it to their patients?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
