Hi

my both children got celiacs since they are born, the elder one is 9 and the younger one is 8.

they are not eating gluten since they are diagnosed but still sometime it’s hard for them to cope. Are there any chances their celiac will go away? Will they be able to eat the normal food and flour?

Ruqia,

Celiac does not go away. It is in the genes of your children just like the color of their eyes. One suggestion I have is to try and find other children with Celiac Disease that your kids can be friends with. Is there a Celiac support group where you live? If so, that might be the place to start.

Your reply is confusing. Did you mean to say, "unfortunately there is no such group"?

It doesn’t go away unfortunately. 
 

My sister and I were celiac children and the hardest part for us was the FOMO (fear of missing out) and the being “different” from other kids. I would eat cookies that were passed around at school just because all the other kids were getting cookies.

I would suggest coordinating with their schools and any friends parents in their lives to make sure that there is ALWAYS a comparable option for them. When I was a kid there was never cake for me at birthday parties and I was so touched when a thoughtful mother got me my own piece. Nowadays this is very easy and there are plenty of treats to make sure your kids are NEVER left without something the other kids get. This is when kids cheat the most!!!

We make plenty of compromises for peanut free kids but never for celiac kids. The teachers and parents should always make sure these kids have their own safe treats.

      Mallorca Guide

      You already got some great recommendations. Just want to second that Mallorca (and Spain in general) is one of the best and easiest places for celiacs to travel. I have been to Mallorca multiple times and have never experienced any cross contaminations and there are SO many easy to buy options in regular supermarkets. Hope you have a wonderful trip.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I agree. If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication). I have two friends with this. The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication.    I'm not a medical doctor.   I'm a microbiologist.  I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.   Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO?   Are you taking any Benfotiamine?  Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO.  Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?
