Welp our 2 1/2 yr old son(with celiac disease) has failed his FORTH successive hearing test, completely failed, total 0. I know he can hear cause he responds sounds, but this could be a part of why he is not talking.

Is there any gluten/celiac disease angles I need worry about here? They said they will put him out with gas and they have noted on his records about eggs and gluten.

Any info on this stuff would be a great help!

I know nothing about that stuff. But do know that yes that is probably why he is not talking. Very common in kids with ear problems. Have you tried any signs with him? That can help a ton and get him to communicate better. I used them with my daughter since I am fluent in ASL and thought it would help her communicate earlier. It did! And she talked early as well, it really helps some kids.

Are you fluent in ASL? Or Signed English or Pigeon English?

I currently in a Signed Eglish class and started with an ASL tutor in addtion. Most deaf around here use a mixture of all three. Almost no pure ASL is used around these parts.

But yes, he can speak in sign, well his on version of ASL, more of TSL (Tymber Sign Language) :D. Drink is overn up by the check, and the volience of it is a clear indication of desire :D. "please" is two handed, and sideways LOL. "I love you" looke more like a 3... but hey it works! :D

Yep fluent in ASL. I also took most of an interpreting program but have these stupid cysts in my wrist so I can't interpret professionally. Hurts too much! I have seen it all. Signed English and modified signs! I work with children and adults with special needs so I have seen many different types over the years. Glad that he is using sign! That is great! And great that you are learning it as well!

I may one day get in to a professional interpreting program but for now I am getting free lessons via local churches. I started the lessons around 2 years ago, but learned about all I can in the one class, and just started the tutor last week.

I had major surgery and a couple of minor out-patient procedures after developing celiac. The gas isn't a problem with being put under. Is it an out-patient procedure? I'd just be very careful if he's offered any food by someone at the facility. Even after clearly stating CELIAC - NO GLUTEN on my menu at the hospital, I was still given crackers (individually wrapped, thank goodness) and such.

I did a semester of ASL - I thought it was neat - I would like to relearn it and go farther with it some time.

Is he having tubes put into his ears? The procedure does only take 5 minutes, but they'll put him out and will want him to wake up a little before he goes home. My daughter had some cereal before she left, so just bring some crackers or a light snack (similar to toast or crackers) and some juice you know he'll like.

Yes PE Tubes in his ears.

We are used to travling with large quanties of food, so that wont be a problem.

How long was her recovery? When did she notice a postive change?

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
