I hope he's feeling better and that you are getting some sleep! I think it's okay that he has no dirty diapers, but I do hope he has wet diapers--important that he stays hydrated!

Glad to hear the fever is going down and he's feeling better....Its not fun for anyone when the kids get sick...My whole family has a nasty cold right now...ugh!!! :(

Dear Jules,

Sorry to hear you are all suffering! Colds are miserable! I still would take them anyday over the stomach flu! If I could go my entire life without catching a communicable disease, that is what I would pick! Poor little fella, Timmy. I take L. Acidophillus to protect me against bacteria and for viruses, particularly a cold virus or flu virus, I take Sambucol. It is black elderberry extract. It has corn syrup, but if you or your family members are not allergic to it, you could take it. This stuff boosts immunity up to 300 percent! Even if you contract a cold, it will be over in a week, instead of getting that nagging cough afterward and suffering for three weeks like my parents did last time!

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl :lol:

Son still has liquid stools, though not as bad, not puking any more, but not much of an atteptite, he is eating just not much. He does not show any dyhdartion symptons, but he does have the sniffiles.

Any thoughts? I know I am sick with a cold or somthing, but I think my stools are fine, guess I need get a diaper on to find out :lol:

Sounds like a virus :(

That's pretty typical--starting out with stomach upset, vomiting and D--then moving into more of a cold. Is he still feverish? The only thing that I'd worry about would be his ears--sometimes Matt (my younger son) would get symptoms like this, and it would turn out to be an ear infection. He was a kid who didn't get the terrible pain, so we had to watch his symptoms carefully.

Add more food as he can handle and don't worry too much. Keep an eye on him and see if his temp stays down or spikes again.

Nope no fever. That seemed to have gone away after teh first day or so.

He ahs tubes in his ears so he should be okay on that point.

So basicly let him eat as he wants, and just wait it out? How long you think?

Yep, keep him hydrated and let him eat what he wants when he wants. He'll be up and raring to go any day now.

Uuummm, if he wants to eat a candy and junk food diet I wouldn't recommend that. j/k I know he wouldn't do that. Make sure he takes something at every meal. With he eat broth? What has he been eating. Fruit is generally easy on the stomach as well as broth. Does his tummy hurt at all or just the general malaise and he doens't have much of an appetite. Whenever my kids go through this the really depressed appetite usually doesn't last more than two days and then they'll start picking up a bit. Put different foods in front of him and let him eat the quantity his stomach is asking for. If the really depressed appetite continues for a coupld more days you may want to consider taking him in. On the other hand, if he doesn't spike a fever again you may want to wait a little bit longer. Contact your ped/doc to see how many days they would want him to go before being seen.

Try to add more foods to create a variety, depending on his stomach. Broth with some meat and veggies, fruit, smoothies, applesauce (I know that's a fruit :P ).

Yea--that's about all you can do at this point. Go with his appetite, make sure he gets his liquids and this thing should run it's course pretty soon. :)

Cereal is usually a good bet at this point: Dora cereal, or gluten-free rice krispies. I can't remember--can he handle casein? If he can. skim milke might be easier on him than the high-fat stuff. If not, Vance's Dari-Free or gluten-free rice milk would probably be easier on the tummy than soy.

Tubes can get plugged. My son has tubes and he has an ear infection right now. This is only his second one in a year with tubes. He didn't puke this time, but he has in the past several times. If he is fussy, he could still have one. I am sure you would probably know, but just wanted you to know that they can still get plugged off.

Hi Vincent,

I was wondering how the little guy was doing.

My kids, if I remember correctly, usually felt a lot better in a week or so. Maybe not completely back to normal, but significantly better.

Not to be a pest, but if it gets toward a week, and he's still not doing much better, it might be a good idea to just have his ears looked at--better safe than sorry. Then, if it's just a stubborn virus, you'll rest peacefully. :)

I'd say that depends on each kid. My little brother stayed sick for 5 days or more when something knocked him down. My son is almost always better in 3 days no matter what he's dealing with.

I agree with GirlNinja--my kids are usually better in 12-24 hours, but every now and then, there'll be a particular vicious virus that knock'em flat for 3-5 days.

I don't know anything about ear tubes, but I did read in the paper yesterday that the medical community is FINALLY realizing that recurrent ear infections are not usually bacterial and don't usually need antibiotics. Apparently they had to do a big study before they would believe it.

The daughter of one of my friends had recurrent ear infections that my friend was finally able to trace to--no, not gluten, but CASEIN. The only other symptom she had was dark circle under the eyes, which her doctor said was a tip-off that a food allergy or intolerance might be going on.

Anyway, I'd push the broth if he'll drink it, with rice noodles in it if that will help, and maybe something like roast chicken? High protein and iron! If he doesn't have a problem with soy, stir-fried tofu with rice is easy to digest. Will he eat grilled salmon? Salmon is VERY easy to digest, and high in those Omega 3's and 6's.

Keep us posted! Hope he feels better. Hope you don't get it. Hope you are getting some sleep!

As for the tubes... we did try antibotics first, and they had no effect at all.. he almost lost his hearing, permenantly. The tubs saved him from that, bearly in time. I know they can get clog, and we have them check ever time we are in a doc's office and so fat so good... last check what his 3 year check up, in mid August.

Sorry, Vincent, I didn't mean to imply that medical intervention is never necessary! When it is necessary, we are lucky to have it!

I have another friend whose daughter is deaf in one ear. They have no idea what caused it or when it happened. . It wasn't picked up until she was in second grade.

I'm glad your little guy's hearing is okay!

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
