kids Quinoa?

[Jsingh]

My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed in January this year. Since we began gluten free diet, she has been symptom free (no tummy ache.). Only the first week of gluten free was the worst where she was in pain almost all day. No one can say gluten free withdrawal for a Celiac patient is not real.

Anyway, I though I'd make some quinoa cookies, and lo and be hold she has been complaining of tummy aches every other day since over a week now. I can't think of any thing else bothering her since this is the only thing we introduced in her diet. She has reacted the same way to buckwheat in the past. Rice seems to be the only grain she seems to be fine with. I dunno if she is super sensitive or because it's just early in the healing process and her body seems to reject anything floury- if that's even a thing, or the certified gluten free flours can also be contaminated. She seems to be fine with certified gluten free chocolate and chips etc.

I am just sharing this if any of you had any ideas or stories to share. The only other thing I can think of is sugar. We don't make many desserts, cookie is the only sugary snack made at home. Should I try certified glutenfree sugar- is that even a thing?

Thank you in advance. I am ever grateful to the people of internet.

Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.

Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
