Question On Recovery

Hi guys - I remember reading another thread on this at some point but I wanted to ask this question and see how some of you respond.

I was diagnosed in September and as far as I can tell my digestive issues have cleared nicely since going on the diet. However, this winter has been a real &*!@# for me. I have 3 little ones (one who just started her first year of kindergarten and one who just started preschool) and it seems like the kids and I have been sick alot this season - like constant colds or just feeling run down. I'm wondering if that's because of my "celiac" recovery or it's just a coincidence with the kids....

Anyone's advice? :D

Probably a coincidence with the kids. Kids are little germ spreaders. There has been lots of colds and flu going around this year and kids are at school with other little diseased ones. It is just like lice, you will never have lice until your kids go to school then, you will get it because of they got it from other kids.

The kids are probably bringing every germ home with them. My husband has had three major colds this past winter but I have had none. I take a daily acidelphous (sp) and do so every single day. It used to be that I always caught his colds. I also take vitamins every morning. You might put the kids on yogurt to boost the good things in their bodies and an acidelplous for you. I am sure someone else will post that is more an expert then I am.

I second the yogurt, my mom, ever the mama lion, made us eat lots of yogurt and garlic (thankfully not together) during cold season, and then gatorade, chicken soup, and more yogurt when we were sick.

In February my neices flew out to see her and one of them had a stomach bug. When I talked to my neice a few days later she said, "I was sick, but Nana gave me and Jordie (her twin) yogurt and now we're all better."

I personally can't stand to eat yogurt (had it almost every day in high school - because I could eat it)...but my daughter loves the little Yoplait yogurts. They come in six packs - 3 of one flavor, 3 of another. And they're just the right size for little tummies. They have characters on them too - Blues Clues and Dora are the two I've seen. My daughter's favorites are Strawberry yogurt and Banana yogurt (yes - two separate flavors - not Strawberry-Banana). She doesn't have Celiac (to our knowledge yet) - so I'm not sure if these yogurts are "safe" or not....I can't imagine why they wouldn't be though. Double check to make sure if your kids have Celiac.

      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

      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.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
