My older daughter is going for her biopsy. She can't eat or drink anything but clear liquids after 12am. This will be tough. She is a big time midnight snacker. I have locks on the cabinets but she knows how they work. If I tell her she can't eat she wont really care if she is hungry,This will be tough.Maybe if she eats alot before bed and put her to bed later she will sleep. Any ideas on how to keep her out of the cabinets>

Thanks for any advice and the refrigerator also?

Thanks

Celina

Good luck tommorrow! I would explain to her that she can't get up in the night and get any food or the biopsy will have to be done again. Also give her a nice snack before she goes to bed, I guess.

celina, maybe you could keep her up late and feed her something around 11:30. i have done this myself before surgery. it is difficult for me to go too long without eating because i get low blood sugar.

When my 6 year old had surgery on her ears last month I though for sure she's get up and eat or something so I slept with her to make sure she didn't, I would know if she got out of bed.

Thankd for all the advice. I am keeping her up later and giving her a snack before bed in hopes that it will keep her tummy fuller longer.

Thanks

Hi Nikki just wondered how did things go? I really hope it all went ok for you though I imagine it was a hard thing to go through regardless... My thoughts are with you today.. we didnt get the biopsy done but just getting two rounds of bloodwork done was stressful enough so I can empathise with your concern. My fingers are crossed for you.

Everything went good. She did great we were home by 11:15am. The dr said by what he saw it looks like Celiac but we have to wait for the biopsy results. Hopefully the end of the week we will know 100%.

Thanks

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
