we saw the ped gi yesterday. molly looks great. kassie looks good, but has lost a little weight. the doc wasn't too concerned about them, but is is concerned about tianna. he just did her endo the week before christmas and yesterday she weighed about 8 lbs less than she had a month ago. she is only 73 lbs. he said she was the only one of the 3 that looks sick. we just haven't been able to get her to eat much. he gave us some high calorie drinks to have her try, but she said it made her gag. i am worried she is going to end up in the hospital being tube fed. does anyone havae any suggestions on how i can add ALOT of nutritious calories to my girls diet? the doc did have her get a blood draw to check her thyroid because her skin is dry and she is not sleeping well. i don't want to be a hovering mother------any suggestions?

Open Original Shared Link.. it's how we got Annika chubby again 3 cans a day plus reg food (gluten free reg food of course) we got WIC to pay for it since the dr. prescribed it, because it's expensive (something like $3 a can)

There are about 6 flavors all gluten and lactose free, they taste best cold, or partially frozen, you can also use them instead of milk in milk shakes and stuff too.

Hope everything works out.

I agree with the pediasure, they are great. My daughter loves them, but now we have to cut out dairy too.

Most kids like the chocolate especially.

Nut butters are good too for adding cals and fat, if they can be in your daughter's diet.

What about potatoes?

Hope this helps some,

Heather

the drink the doc gave us is thick and tastes like pediasure. i am going to try and use it in a milk shake---can anyone give me the name of a gluten free ice cream. i bought a bucket of ice cream and e-mailed the company---they replied and said they were sending my question to their dietician----and i never heard from her.

Bryers is gluten free, also most of the flavors of Blue Bell are, but not like "cookie dough" obviously.

These sound like good ideas for children.

Any ideas to help an adult losing weight rapidly? I am Gluten-free Casein-free and cannot eat soy in solid form, cannot eat most fruits except in very small quanitiy - no fruit juice except in very small quantity. I can't seem to find any food - that I can eat - that has any calories. I eat well and healthy but very limited calories. I have lost 25 pounds since last April - am now 105 lbs. I haven't a piece of clothing that fits and I am discouraged.

Help anyone? Claire

can you have ensure? it's like adult pediasure, there are recipes on the pediasure page of how to make milkshakes, muffins ect. (you would have to modify them to make them gluten free though) also lots of statchy food can make you gain weight (potatoes ect.)

christine,

The question is why is your daughter not eating? Or is she eating? How old is she? I thought one time you posted and said you thought she may be depressed. WHat about nausea? Is she having that and can they treat her for it if she is? It sounds like she is probably depressed. I would be if I were her age and having to deal with all of this.

We are thinking of her and I guess you could try the pediasure. SOme of the junk they give you from the ped GI offices, well they are just down right nasty!!

Breyers is gluten free, minus the one's with cookies, etc. , but they will list whether there is wheat in the ingredient list.

If she lost 8 pounds in a month, she really does need help.

What does she eat now? Maybe if you tell us, we can think of some things you haven't thought of maybe.

Hope she gets better soon.

Claire,

When I dropped an additional 10 pounds this summer, I drank 2 Ensures a day and 2 Frappachinos' (sp). Both had a great many calories. The Ensure has soy and the Fraps have dairy, both of which I am allergic to. But, I needed to do something fast as I have found if I drop too much additional weight and don't get it back on fast, then it stays off of me. I just could not eat all the calories that were necessary to add the weight. I did put 7 or 8 pounds of it back on. But, my wheezing got so bad, that I had to back off, otherwise, I probably would have been able to get the whole 10 pounds back. Hopefully you could handle the ingredients in both of these drinks. Good Luck!!

tianna is not earing very much, but she is not nauseated. she has rashes all over-----her rashes are what started our families celiac diagnosis. when i was looking up rashes on the internet i ran across DH and discovered her rashes fit the pattern. i think that she has probably been sick for some time, but because my baby was having so much trouble i just didn't see that she was sick. funny thing----my baby was failure to thrive for so long and we were trying to get weight on her so that she wouldn't have to have a g-tube. as soon as we got her health problems fixed we got a new bucket load of problems and another child that isn't gaining weight. i don't know if i am supposed to put emphasis on calories or nutrition right now.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
