He has been complaining of a stomachache for the past day. He hasn't had one at all since going gluten-free up until yesterday. He did have ice cream out (Graeter's) and DD threw Fruit Loops at him (she is 4) and 1 got in his mouth, so there are a couple of things that could have done it. Is there anything that he can take to help him feel better? He is complaining of a crampy type stomachache. He is 10 years old.

TIA!

I wish I knew of a mircle cure after being glutened. I try and get lots of rest, drink water and eat bland comfort foods.

Sorry,

Hez

A heating pad might provide some comfort. And I second the water suggestion. Maybe Pepto-Bismol if that has helped him before?

Thanks guys!!! I have never tried Pepto, but maybe I will give it a try. He is drinking lots of water. He was feeling better earlier today and then had some applesauce for lunch, along with some gluten-free mac & cheese. Now he says it hurts again. I am going to eliminate the applesauce for a few days (he normally eats a ton of it) and see if that is it. If not, it may be the dairy. :( He hasn't seem to have had a problem with dairy in the past, even the past few weeks he has eaten and drank tons and has been fine, so I think that is unlikely. Maybe it is just that he was glutened. I just thought it was odd that he was feeling better and then is now worse again after eating bland stuff.

I will give the heating pad a try, too!

I find that when I get glutened, I react to EVERYTHING for a few days, regardless of how I normally tolerate it. Especially other starches, but it goes away. Hope he feels better :)

I agree, after I am glutened no matter what I eat it goes through me :angry:

I'm all for hugs :D

However also respect his space, some of us get a bit funny about being touched or too much attention when glutened.

My fav comfort food is homemade chicken soup with cabbage, leek and celery gradually getting thicker over 3 days.

Sorry to hear he isn't feeling well. Maybe since he is young he will recover faster than we do. I don't know if this applies to gluten, but hopefully. :)

my daughter is six and when she gets accidentally glutened, pepto bismol chewables and liquid benedryl are our friends. (the benedry is for the hives she gets from head to toe). also, I make her sip on room temperature water, not cold water as it can aggravate cramping, and stick with very bland foods or no food if she's not interested in food at all. She seems to really like EnerG's gluten-free crackers when she's been glutened.

I always react to dairy when I am glutened so I would stay away from that, BRAT---banannas, rice, applesauce, adn gluten-free toast or gluten-free crackers of the same sort, just very bland food that wont aggrivate the tummy anymore than it already is now. I tak prescription fennergen which is anti-nausea, but that is only because i get SUCH a violent reaction that I am throwing up until i need to go to the ER, so the prescp. stops that.

hope he feels better soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Blood results

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
