OKay, umm this is the first time this has happen since he has gone gluten-free and I realized that umm, what do you give a gluten-free kid to mucnh on. He puked up ALOT, has to be a full stomcha load. I was thinking maybe some fo his carnation instanbrafast to replace what he lost in a "sippy cup" ? We have "Food For Life Brown Rice Bread" so I was thiunking peanutbutter toast (he does not like plain bread) but realy just not sure. IF it was me , I would eat a ltte see how I felt then eat more. But he lacks the language to comminicate that concept yet.

Ans for why? Dunno. Prbly a stomache bug.....he acting fine.

Poor Tymber :( --at this point, I would think something light like apple juice (sipped slowly), toast w/ a little jelly for taste, popsicles, a little banana, clear broth. Also, do you have any gluten-free crackers? Hopefully, he'll be all better by tomorrow! Just go easy, and do make sure he gets some additional fluids to replace what he lost. :)

when I am sick my doctor says to not eat until 1 hour after I have puked, then go on the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast) when my girls have been sick we replaced the toast with Van's waffles.

It seems to work, after a few hours we feel better. During the hour after barfing that you aren't eating you can sip on gatorade, warm tea, or pedialyte. (we prefer warm tea)

you are NOT a bad parent. Every parent I have ever met has had to go to the store to get "basic" things that they thought they had (like bandaids when my kid was bleeding all over me) and supplies for a stomach bug.

If however you were a bad parent, you really wouldn't care would you?

Toast should be fine. I don't keep gluten-free bread in my house, so maybe I am the bad parent LOL

awww Vincent, sorry Tymber puked all over you guys! When Chey did that the last time, the Dr. said to just let her sip liquids, and eat bananas and gluten-free crackers... all she wanted to do was eat the gluten-free crackers. I bought a case of EnerG crackers, and don't think I'll be running out of them any time soon! The most important thing is to replace electrolytes, so Gatorade is a good choice, or Pedialyte... Chey hates pedialyte so we have to use gatorade.

Welp he not happy with the gatorade. :( Shoudl have gotten apple juice while I was there, cause all we have it Kroger brand tang, and milk. Oh and kroger brand diet coke. I guess the tang would be next best?

You could water down the Tang some, so he'll get some flavor. Do you have any ginger ale or sprite or anything like that? Of course, you'll want to lay off the milk till his stomach is back to normal.

OF course now we are wondering.. this happend 4-6 hours after his Sunday School.... is it a stomache bug, or did he still some food from one of his freinds? :( He a very tough little guy and its very hard to know how he is feeling, but he is defintly moving a bit slower... and right now he is cuddled up on the couch with his mommy. I dont ahve to tell you what his diaper looked like, any parent of a toddler prbly knows too well! :lol:

The last time my daughter threw up she'd just had some Cheetos.... :o I'll speak no more about that incident.

Is Pedialyte gluten-free? Otherwise I'd stick with water or a mixture of water/clear juices until he lets you know he's hungry, and then very small meals. Popsicles are good too.

My daughter did have a marathon incident where I actually took her into the ER, she just kept throwing up over and over... the nurse did say to let her stomach rest at least an hour or two before I gave her any thing, even liquids.

He's tough, I think it's harder on the parents! Good luck.

Hope he's feeling better Vincent!

I second the popsicles (or freezies). That's what my kids usually go for..... and Jell-O.

Hugs.

Popsicles are great! So is crushed ice with a little apple juice (lots of crushed ice and a SMALL amount of apple juice, otherwise it's a recipe for diarrhea). Our ped says to water the Gatorade so it's half water, half Gatorade-otherwise it's too sugar-heavy. My kids like the blue flavors for some reason--they say the rest taste awful. (I think they all taste awful!)

Anyway, I wouldn't let him eat anything unless he can keep liquids down barf-free for at least an hour (even if he says he's hungry). I think eating too soon after barfing, while the tummy is still upset, is why so many toddlers end up in the ER with dehydration. Clear liquids first, then the BRAT diet!

Hope he's feeling better, hope you guys don't get it, and hope you get a good night's sleep!

Thanks for all the suggestions! Hopefully come tommorow he will be fine, and this willjust be another typical day in a toddler controled house! :lol:

LOL! I know all about a "kid-controlled" house! Except, Eileen thinks it's a tween-controlled house, Rhiannon thinks it's a 7 yr old-controlled house and of course the boys think they totally control everything!

I'm glad he's asleep. I always slept with the kids when they had a stomach bug. My instinct would wake me up as soon as they woke and I had the bucket under their mouth quicker than you can say "kissing porcelain"!!!! It saved on a whole lot of washing/cleaning!

I learned to put 2 or 3 big, thick towels on top of the sheets before they got in bed. My aim must not be as good as yours, Karen, because even sleeping with them, I couldn't catch ALL of it with the barf bowl! But having the towels helped--I would just take off a towel and throw it into the washing machine--no need to change the entire bed (usually...)!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      Is it gluten?

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.
