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...

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
