Back From The Flu Or Somthin Else

My son and I are just now recovering from a horrible cold. Both with fever and cough. Took him to his follow up at pediatrician for biopsy results which coincided with his cold (fever of 102) and said it was viral, isn't it always? We are just now starting to feel a bit better. I worry more with my kids when they're sick as any parent does. We started the diet Monday and told his pediatrician who said to just let him know how it goes, no argument. Luckily he's very easy going. We told him about the second opinion at Boston Children's on the 27th, so he's well aware. I'm just concerned about all the meds I've pumped into us all week. I was in no condition to check anything. When we did eat, we ate properly as we have nothing with gluten in the house. We went nowhere other than the pediatricians office and to bring my daughter to school and to pick her up, so we were pretty much house bound. I think maybe the medication may have messed us up a bit. I don't know. I hope not. I still have to check his miralax. I think I read it was gluten-free, but I want to be sure. And he also takes generic ferensol daily with half a multi vitamin. I bought him Suave kids shampoo and we use Ivory soap. My daughter uses garnier fructise. She has the snarliest hair. I'm a hairdresser by trade and none of the professional products I've ever used other than one Redken conditioner comes close to the garnier conditioner. I use aquaphor on Bubbas rashes. My daughter and son devoured a box of envirokids panda puffs in about 4 days. Now she's working on the Panda puffs. Luckily she's not a big sweet eater and I think these cereals are just sweat enough. Anyway, anyone know about the effects of the meds. Probably not much since we just started I hope. I have to check all my meds. I'm hoping to cut back on a lot of those after being on this diet for a while. I'm tired of feeling like garbage.

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

      Another great fiber option is dried apricots. Four of them give you 3g of fiber and I find they don't produce all the gas that some other high fiber options do. They taste good too. Costco sells a large bag of them that are labeled gluten-free so you don't have to worry about cross contamination issues like you might in bulk grocery settings.

      Wow, that's alot of info, Thanks!!!! I had my intake with Nutrionist where we went over basics and then will have follow up where we will talk about all the questions I've come up with (including the fiber question and so many more). I'll talk to her about the info you provided as well.  Thanks again (newbie here 😀)

      Hello again. Thank you for the responses to date. I have had several follow-ups and wanted to share what I’ve learned. About a month after my initial blood test and going gluten free, my TtG went from 8.1 to 1.8. I have learned that my copper is low and my B6 is high. My other vitamins and nutrients are more or less in range. After I glutened myself on 10/24, I have been strict about being gluten free - so about a month. I have been eating dairy free and low FODMAP as well because it’s what my stomach allows. Baked fish, potatoes, rice, etc. Whole foods and limited Whole foods. I have continued to lose weight but it has slowed down, but a total of about 15 pounds since I went gluten free. Along with stomach pain, my symptoms included nausea, body and joint pain, a burning sensation throughout my body and heart rate spikes. I still have them but I have them less now. These are the symptoms that led to my doctor appointments and subsequent diagnosis. I also did the DNA screening and was positive. So, at this point, the answer is yes, I have celiac. I have two questions for this group. Any ideas on why my enteropathy was so severe (marsh 3B) and my TtG was so minimal? Is that common? Or are there other things to consider with that combo? And this recovery, still having pain and other symptoms a month later (7 weeks gluten free and 4 weeks after the glutening) normal? I’m going to continue down this path of bland foods and trying to heal but would love to understand the reasons for the long journey. I read so much about people who stop eating gluten and feel amazing. I wish that was my experience but it certainly hasn’t been. Thank you again!
