I Am So Confused

HI everone again sorry it has been a while but we have been on a bit of a roller coaster with emma.

Emma seemed to be doing really well on the gluten free diet the diohrrea has stopped and i was starting to think that per-haps even though emmas blood test was negative to celiacs that may be, we had finally got to the bottom of things

BUT and a big but at that!!

She has not really gained any weight in 4 mths!! and is still 9.5kgs at almost 3yrs old.

she is lathargic all day and just rolls around the floor doing nothing. looking pale and tired. And she is tube fed over night neocate!!

her biopsey showed last november lymphocytes in her intestine even though to look at the intestine was fine.

She had another endoscopy last week and even though being on a gluten free diet the lymphocytes are still there, :o abosolutly no change in almost 5 mths of being gluten free???

I think per-haps we are on the wrong road now, but how long being gluten free does it take to get a normal result from the biopsys?

And what do you all think, has anyone else ever heard of this happening?

to me it does not make any sence. how does a child that eat small amounts and is fed on top by tube. not gain any weight even when the diorhea stops.

the other result that came back was that she was low in protine in her body, and she craves milk eggs yoghurt, chicken. again makes no sence.

The other result we got back was that the fundoplication performed 18mths ago has compltely come undone and it was fully in tacked in november. so now they are questioning silent relfux as well. AGAIN! and she has had 2 apnoea episodes in the last 3mths.

i am in total dispare as now they are saying she is so low in weight her organs are going to be efected, but what do i do to get her weight up. she is slowerly sliding away from us. they are thinking she may have a very rare disored, or form of celiacs but they don´t know. They will start to introvinously feed her soon. If she does not pick up.

any advice would be great i am temped to take her off the diet and see what happens out of desperation!

thanks

Where has Steph the kick boxer been? Does anyone remember the site she went to and the information on EE?

Tracey and Emma,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am also trying to find some information about a similar sounding situation. It was about a year ago, and involved a different web site.

The doctor gave Maddie Neocate too and said virtually no body has a problem with it. BUT I do remember some one on here saying their baby couldn't tolerate it either.

Hi, I just read an article the other day on line that said that after 2 years a Celiacs intestine is mostly repaired. There was a percentage involved that I do not remember but it was a high one. From the way I understand it, it would not be likely to repair itself in 4 months. Also, my son had a positive blood but negative biopsy because they only found lymphocytes, everything else looked normal. The doc had the biopsy reexamined by Columbia University in NY, they are one of the best, and they concluded that it was Celiac. He also had his blood test for the genes that cause Celiac to determine if it is even possible for him to have. Maybe that is something you can look into. If the gene is not there, there is no way she can have Celiac. (this test is different than the Celiac panel of tests). And, my son was diagnosed last May. By July, I saw no huge improvement so I brought him for a second opinion. This doc agreed with everything the first one said,but added that it may be too soon to see much improvement. By Sept., things began to improve.

Good luck,

Nicole

I don't really have any advice, but I just wanted to say I will be keeping your daughter in my thoughts. I hope she is doing better soon! Maybe it is just too soon and she will be improving soon.

My baby is having a problem with the reformulation of Neocate Infant formula. The cans with the yellow label were great for her, but the new stuff in the gold cans is awful. She can't tolerate it at all. Could this also be the problem for your daughter? I am desperately hoping to find other parents with issues with the new Neocate Infant formula. I've contacted the manufacturer, and they told me since my baby is one of only a handful of babies who can't tolerate the new formulation, they will not be making it anymore period. We have not found anything else that she can tolerate, including Neocate One+, so we are truly desperate for a solution!

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
