Exposure To Gluten

[Guest tracey and emma]

Could i call on all your advice. we seem to be going round in the most horrible circles with emma.

she can have 3-5 days no diorhea at all. then bang anything up to 8 episodes in one day!!!

This time she had what was my worst fear an exposure at kindergarden on friday morning (only her 4 th time there), another child gave her some braed roll and she ate it, only so they say 1-2 mouth fulls but enough i think????

no signs of any thing at all but today 3 days later and her 3rd birthday which is so sad, really violent diorrhea pale crying and misserable and asking to go to bed. Could after 3 days this be the gluten???

have a gut feeling it could be!!!! The problem i have is that we have stopped her tube feed to get her to eat more normally so now which is the increase of solid food or the gluten causeing the problem.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh.................................................................

why the hell can things not be simple, i do not want to go back to tube feeding after going a week with no feed and her eating increaseing even though it has been the most horrible week watching her starve. We were getting some were now back to what to do now.

sorry for moaning per-haps not all that info was nessesary, jus feeling ...............................so sad more so because its her birthday.

thanks tracey

This is not unusual.... its just a complete pain ....I mean its bad enough in adults when you can feel yourself and know what you have eating so it is 10x worse for mothers! This is why as an adult you need to keep a food diary but this gives me a rather cunning plan.....

You can use this to your advantage ... tell the kindergarten she is having problems and that you need to keep a record in case of any other intolerances and have themn write down in a book ANYTHING she eats at kindergarten. That in itself is useful but I bet they will be more careful with supervision !

erm.. IMHO she mightest well have eatne the whole roll at that point.... 1 crumb is more than enough .. a single grain of flour is more than enough.

no signs of any thing at all but today 3 days later and her 3rd birthday which is so sad, really violent diorrhea pale crying and misserable and asking to go to bed. Could after 3 days this be the gluten???

Absolutely I can have a single crumb and be up all night or a whole pizza and nothing for 3-4 days....
