My daughter has been dairy free since July and gluten-free for almost 2 months now. Now clearly she is doing way better gluten-free! Her runny nose and sinus infection are gone and it had been there for over a year and no meds helped! Her bm's have improved but are not totally better. That is where my question comes in: She used to have 10 watery running down her legs bms a day before going dairy free. Then they went to 2-3 a day blowouts but not watery. Now off of gluten she will go 1-2 days w/o a bm and we had a few solid ones here and there. But they are still loose but def have more texture to them and are more thick than they were. But they will still go up her back and up to her belly button some days. I am wondering if she is still healing or if she could be getting gluten some where (I don't think she is but you never know!) or could she need to be casein free too? I know if she gets any ounce of lactose she is a disaster! Thanks!!

Hmm. I'm not really sure, since my son was almost six when he was diagnosed, and pretty much asymptomatic.

I do know that there are a couple of good Gluten-free Casein-free websites out there that may have more info, but I'm not sure if they have forums or not. Just google Gluten-free Casein-free diet and see what happens. One might be called Gluten-free Casein-free Utah, and I can't remember the other one. I am sure that a Mom with a child who was diagnosed younger than mine will come along soon to help you.

I think your daughter could definately still be healing but, check all of your hygeine products again. Do you have pets? Make sure pet food is out of reach. Playdough?

I would take casein out of her diet and see what happens. That could definitely be the problem.

she may still be getting some gluten, ck vitamins too, food preparation surfaces, or it may be that she needs to be casein free too, or again, could be that she's still just healing... honestly I wish I had a better answer for you. trial and error may be your best friend right now...

I'm thinking... thinking... nope, got nothin...

sorry, brain not working tonight

First I would double check everything she eats, bathes with and plays with. I've had to do this several times just to help me eliminate the source of problems. I've even re-called companies to double check, re-check my lists, etc.

If everything checks out okay, then my guess would be that she is still healing. Emmie's stools took a while before they were what I would call normal. Some days, they would seem normal, then she would have one that was similar to pre-gluten-free days. I always worried it was gluten, but I think it just took quite some time for her to heal. Things are still improving for us in the poo dept. and it's been nearly nine months. Glad to hear your daughter is headed in the right direction....hope she just keeps getting better and better!

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...
