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...)!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
