Pistachio Pudding Was Not A Good Idea.

So I ate some sour starbursts on Thursday I think, and my mouth broke out in all kinds of irritation, those famous celiac mouth sores. I have clusters of mouth ulcers between my lip and gum, under my tongue, on my soft palate, and I think even on my throat. Even my tongue hurts. That was mistake number one, though I've never had that kind of reaction to sour starburst before.

I also have an oral allergy to tree nuts. I'm eating some pistachio pudding, and my mouth hurts worse. That was mistake number two. It's weird though, because pistachios aren't tree nuts, they're in the cashew family with mangoes. The cashew family doesn't count as tree nuts...what gives? I don't think I've had any problems with pistachios before, though it's been ages since I've had them so who knows.

Ideas?

Hi, Penguin!

Mouth sores this time of year might not necessarily be a food intolerance or allergy. The only time I ever had mouth and throat sores was when we all came down with the Cocksackie Virus, when Son #2 started daycare. It's extremely contagious, and seems to be everywhere right after the kids go back to school (and then the moms carry it to places like the supermarket shopping cart handles, etc). None of us had fevers, colds, or any other sign of illness--just those extrememly uncomfortable sores on the throat, in the mouth, and even some on our hands--ugh.

Either way, I hope you feel better very soon!

Thanks! You know what, I'm sure that's it. I haven't had sores in a LONG TIME and they never did the whole mouth thing. I feel like I have a cold and that explains it. There was a toddler in my office a few days ago, I bet that's where it came from. It's refreshing to have a virus for a change! :rolleyes:

Oh, well, the good news is the whole thing is 3-5 days and then you're done. Lots and lots of hot chicken soup and hot licorice tea (very soothing for the sore throat) and hot lemonade (after the sores start to heal , so the acid from the lemonade doesn't sting). Pee those germs out and flush'em down the toilet! :lol:

      Anyone understand genetic testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your genetic test results confirm that you carry the highest-risk markers for celiac disease, specifically the HLA-DQ2 haplotype (while being negative for HLA-DQ8). The fact that both HLA-DQA1*05 and HLA-DQB1*0201 appear twice means you inherited identical copies from each parent, making you homozygous for these genes. This double dose of the DQ2.5 haplotype is significant because it indicates an even stronger genetic predisposition to celiac disease compared to those who only inherit one copy. Research suggests that people with this homozygous pattern may have a higher likelihood of developing the disease, potentially more severe immune responses to gluten, and a stronger association with dermatitis herpetiformis (which aligns with your diagnosis). While this genetic profile doesn’t guarantee worse symptoms, it does reinforce why strict gluten avoidance is critical for you. Since you’re already diagnosed, the main takeaway is that your results explain your biological susceptibility—no further genetic counseling is needed unless you have family planning questions. The repeating variants simply mean both parents passed you the same high-risk alleles, which is why your body reacts so strongly to gluten. Ultimately, your diagnosis and management remain the same, but this insight helps underscore the importance of lifelong dietary diligence.

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you and your daughter are navigating celiac disease with a lot of care and dedication, and it’s wonderful that you’re prioritizing her health and growth during this critical time. Since her antibody levels and growth have plateaued, tightening up her diet by avoiding eating out (except at dedicated gluten-free places) is a smart move—even if it’s challenging socially. Many parents of celiac kids report significant growth spurts once gluten exposure is minimized, so there’s hope she’ll catch up if her levels improve. As for the future, while her growth window closing may reduce some risks, celiac is lifelong, and staying as strict as possible will likely always be best to avoid long-term complications, even if occasional cautious outings become manageable later. Navigating this with a teenager is tough, especially with spontaneous social events. For unplanned outings, keeping safe snacks (like GF protein bars, nuts, or fruit) in her bag or your car can help. To boost nutrition, try sneaking in variety where you can—like lentil or chickpea pasta instead of rice pasta, or adding veggies and proteins to her favorite dishes. Involving her in meal planning might help with pickiness, and connecting with other celiac families or support groups could provide social strategies and emotional support. It’s exhausting, but you’re doing an amazing job—your efforts now will set her up for a healthier future. Hang in there!
