Are These Symptoms ?

I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity in April and I am off gluten since.

A lot of things have improved and keep improving, and I am very thankful for it.

The more I think about it the more I am concerned my daughter (2 and a half) might have gluten issues too. Her regular allergy test, which also screened for gluten came back negative.

I send out her stuhl to Enterolab today to have it tested. Then I probably know for sure.

Here are her symptoms: What do you think?

as baby: borderline colic

nursed her 15 months (she would never take formula)

did not like to eat solids much, feedings always took about an hour

never slept more than 45 minutes as a baby

today: never initiates eating

have to put everything in her mouth

feedings still take 30 minutes

eats mainly vegetables, fruits, chicken, ice cream

does not like cocolate, crackers, bread, candy, or junk food

never eats much of one item

likes to drink a lot of regular milk

naps are about an hour, never longer

clingy

has always been in the 5 percentile concerning her weight distribution

She also often wakes up after having slept for about 50 minutes and it seems like she tries to swallow something that came up from her stomach. Then she is in this half awake/ half asleep stage, where she does not respond to me. She cries and kicks for about 10 minutes and then falls back to sleep. This also happend a lot when she was a baby.

Well, you may be on to something. She could also be intolerant to dairy. That she loves milk so much is a dead giveaway, usually people LOVE whatever they are most allergic to. Try cutting out dairy and see if that makes a difference.

The best thing would be to try one thing at a time, otherwise you won't know what worked. So, maybe dairy first, and gluten a couple of weeks later.

If you see a marked difference, you have your answer.

All the best!

your daughter's symptoms sound an awful lot like GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) to me.

Hi

I was also thinking about reflux...both my kids suffer from reflux

Check out infantrefluxdisease.com for more information

It might be a combo of reflux plua celaic or a food allergy/intolerance

      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

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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!
