Hello everyone, my name is Michelle. My son's name is Lanigan. He is 9 months old and was just diagnosed with celiac. I am feeling very overwhelmed by all of this... any pointers would be great. He is a very sick baby right now. It also appears he might have a heart issue, but the cardio doc doesn't want to look into it to much til we are a bit better otherwise.

Michelle,

Welcome to the forum. :D You've come to the right spot to learn about celiac/gluten intolerance. TCA will probably post on here at some point. She has a little girl that is going in for heart surgery next week. I have an 8 month old who I haven't tried gluten foods on yet. He broke out in eczema that didn't clear up until I went soy and gluten free so I know he has some sort of problem with gluten. If you are still breastfeeding you need to make sure that you are gluten free as well since it can pass through the breastmilk. That's how I started on my journey to discover that myself, my daughter and my oldest son are all gluten intolerant. We had testing done by enterolab after I had allergy testing done. There is a lot to learn but just take it a step at a time. TCA started a thread to help new people out and I'm sure she will reference it when she posts. For the safe and forbidden foods list on celiac.com click here. I don't know what you are feeding Lanigan now as far as solids, but you will want to read baby food jar labels if you don't make your own food. When you get to stage 3 foods they typically start adding more ingredients, I'm not sure if stage 2 has the same issues or not. Be sure to ask any questions you have. There are a lot of knowledgeable and loving people here who love to help each other out.

I posted to your other thread, but in answer as to how to get started, here's a thread I started while back

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
