So where are you at in terms of the diet? Getting close to phasing out the foods in the pantry yet? Let me know when you have and I'll e-mail you a list of alternative products you might enjoy. Half the battle is finding the alternatives that you like. After that....it gets much easier. ;)

We're getting close. In the next day or so he'll finish up the last of his Rice Dream, so I'll start him on the gluten-free Wild Oats rice milk and need to re-stock snacks and lunch ideas for Ryan. I found some hot dogs at Walmart that are organic and appear to be gluten-free by Applewood Farms. I also pack him gluten-free/DF Ian's chicken nuggets, safe whole foods...but the menu is still pretty "naked" for lack of a better word. I could definitely use more ideas. Ryan's birthday is coming up on the 13th, and I'm starting to put together a gluten-free menu for the day. DH wants to do barbecue brisket, I've found a gluten-free cake recipe (it's not dairy-free though, if you have a good yellow cake recipe that's GD and dairy free, I'd love it).

I was thinking this morning too that our generation didn't have food allergies like this generation does. Our generation didn't have near the amount of immunizations, or the combinations. Makes me wonder if there's a correlation there. B)

Personally, I think the immunizations have a lot to do with it, but also the stress. We're all, children included, under much more stress than we were a generation ago. Plus, our food is much less pure, much more junk food, and even the good stuff has a lower nutritional value than it used to. I think it all adds up to health problems. If we hadn't had all the stress on our systems to develop our leaky guts, I'd bet our gluten intolerance would have never been triggered!

I think it has a lot to do with immunizations. We didn't have this many when we were kids. I believe that my son's 2 month shots springboarded his reaction to gluten and soy. He probably still would have reacted down the line, since my other two and myself have celiac/gluten intolerance.

My son has had soft stools his whole life. I don't know if they would be considered diarrhea, but they aren't solid. I asked his doctor about it and she said it is probably normal for him. She didn't want to do the Celiac blood test, but she did because I kept asking her about it. The blood test came back normal, but I decided to try Enterolab because I still think there is a problem (and my blood test came back normal even though I know I am sensitive to gluten). He has dropped off the charts for weight several times and that worries me.

I read in someone's post that their child cries everytime they have to have their diaper changed. My son does the same thing. He always says that it hurts. Before I went gluten free it hurt sometimes I went to the bathroom too. Like I ate too much spicey food. I am hoping to get his tests back this week. I also tested my DD because she has complained of stomach aches and has had diarrhea for no reason (that I can tell). We will see what happens.

You may have seen my post that went over Ryan's whole history - Ryan used to cry whenever he knew it was time to change his diaper because it always hurt him so badly (that's when he was drinking soy milk and had the diaper rash from he** because of it). I'm so sorry your son goes through that too. Let me know what your test results are !

      My mo,ther married a bread making when I was 4

      By Jane878 · Posted

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.
