How Quickly Can Diet Change Work?

I started Mason last monday. He had a couple of slips on tuesday and wednesday~ both with dry cereals, and in small amounts. we didn't see any changes, but, it has been 4 days now totally gluten free.

I substituted organic rice cereals for his favorite cherios and wheat puffs, and he now has gladly accepted them to prevent the slips again.

Well..... Yesterday we waited all day with baited breath ( and a clothespin for our noses.. :lol: ) and... Nothing. He had ONE nearly formed stool last night~ the closest he's ever had to "normal"... This is a far, far cry from the mulitple blowouts, still occurring just two days before. The day prior was still messy, but less frequent than normal.

Is this it? Could it be from the diet change already? Oh please say it can be so!!!!! Can it just happen, like that? Oh please. I hope so..

Depends alot on the child. My son was 18 months old when we did it, and we notice a major difference with in 3 days. Took longer for 100% recovery, of course.

It varies on the person and how much damage, etc. I did not see a difference significantly until a few months and it took about 8 months for me to feel normal again.

Sounds like he's on his way to recovery. For myself and teen son, that was the first thing we noticed. Within days our bm were formed. No explosive diarrhea. Of course it takes longer to completely heal and after months of being gluten-free,we still have reactions to otherfoods such as dairy. We are still healing and it takes time.

It sounds like your off to a good start! :)

I was afraid it was a fluke, LOL. But, today so far is the same, still no explosive Bm's, and we generally have 3 by this time already. I am SO hopeful. I will see what happens today, then call the ped GI and let him know I've already started the trial and seen results, so we will be passing on the meds... I hope this sticks!!!! It will be SO nice to have him gaining weight again and feeling better.

Oh yes. the damage. So far the only thing they see is total inflamation throughout the colon~ so hopefully he will heal up nicely....

My daughter has been on the diet for 2 weeks now and I am seeing results. She used to have 10 explosive bms a day and then cutting out dairy brought us down to 3 a day. Now that she is on the diet they quickly went to one a day and now we have had a few times where she went a day and a half or with out one! And they are no longer explosive! Glad to hear you are getting results!

My daughter was so much better in 5 days. she had terrible headaches for 2 days and was very volitile but now has settled down a lot. She has grown 2cm in 6 weeks, and is off all her motillium, zantac, etc meds.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
