Gas?

my 3 year old has had really bad gas intermittenly the last few weeks, they sent her home from the daycare at my gym because she "smelled" and today she was taking a nap and we could hear her pooting down the hall, it's like 20 feet away :blink:

she says her tummy hurts sometimes, and has spent the day almost on the potty because she can't tell the difference between gas and needing to poop....

I don't know if this is normal for a celiac person or not, do you think she is eating too many veggies or maybe it's from the CC she may have gotten Friday night?

Is she eating casein and soy? I wonder if it's from something like that?

It sounds to me like she could be reacting to something--possibly another food intolerance. This happens to me when I eat some of the things I'm intolerant to--also dried fruit. Maybe think back to what she ate on the gassiest days, and see if there is a common link.

My son gets horrible gas when glutened, but I haven't noticed anything else causing it.

she eats everything but gluten, I suppose it's food diary time again, although I was thinking about it, and she gets really bad gas on Fridays (and goes to my mother in laws on Thursdays) so I think I will keep her home a few weeks and see what happens. (and also do the food diary)

My son gets gas a lot too and has stomachaches caused by the gas. He definitely is not getting glutened. I've yet to figure out the cause, but I know 100% it is not gluten.

my kid eats a lot of broccoli. I was noticing that the more I think about what she has been eating, she eats it with like 2 meals a day most days... she is broccoli addicted. :ph34r: that could give her gas right?

It certainly could. As healthy as it is, broccoli can cause gas. I've never tried it, but if it's just brocolli that gives her the problem, and she loves it, you could try Beano and see if it helps.

This was the EXACT thing that led me to finding out about celiac. I could barely even leave the house it was so bad. I mean, I couldn't even go to church. It seemed like every time I moved I had really smelly gas. So I know exactly what you mean about the walking and having gas with just about every step. It was the most horrible, humiliating thing.

Once I went gluten-free, it stopped completely, so I never had to do a food diary. But from what I read during those years, it's almost always something you eat that causes that kind of constant gas.

I hope you figure out what's causing it soon. Broccoli sounds like a good place to start. I've heard of that causing gas now that I think of it too.

my dad gets this exact problem from eating broccoli forets (also known as calibreeze - not sure about the spelling though) and also brussel sprouts, so it is a strong possibility. if you remove the broccoli, then you'll know for certain. However if she still wants broccoli there is a sort which is mainly stalks which will be ok - because my dad can eat that and not the florets as well - its called sprouting broccoli. Anyway, good luck and hope you figure out whats wrong. Hope she is better soon :)

Forgot to also mention he also gets this from cauliflower as well, only milder...just a thought in case she eats a lot of this too...

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      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:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
