Ugh, Gluten Accident

We had a gluten accident today, a biggie. My dad was being sweet and took the kids to the library, then McDonalds. He was going to get them an ice cream, and I didn't think to tell him that cones were not okay. I had assumed that he would have known just to get it in a cup, or get the sundae. My parents have been through all of this with us, we are very close....I really thought they had more of a clue than this! So Emmie ended up eating an entire ice cream cone.

Anyway, she has been throwing up for two hours. It seems to have finally slowed down, and she's asleep. She hates pedialyte, so we bought gingerale. I just wish there was something more I could do for her, I know she's going to feel absolutely awful tomorrow. She usually runs a high fever and has stomach cramps...but that was always from a small glutening. We haven't had one this big in over a year. I have a feeling it's going to be a long couple of weeks for all of us.

Is there anything you do for your kids that can speed up the recovery time? Poor bug can't even keep down water at this point, but she should be able to hold something down in the morning. Ugh, this just stinks....she was doing SO good lately too, she had just got over a UTI and was just getting "happy" again. Can you hear me screaming??? Lol. Thanks for letting me vent.

my daughter is 6, when she gets accidentally glutened I give her the Pepto Bismol chewables (1/2 of a tablet, when she was younger I broke it into thirds) and then had her sip on gatorade or water depending on how much she was throwing up or had "d".

I'm so sorry your little one is feeing so bad, hope she gets over it soon.

Tamara,

I'm so sorry to hear that Emmie is feeing so badly. I don't really have any words of wisdom, but just wanted to say that I hope she feels better soon. It's so awful to watch your child be sick.

Update us soon!

I am sorry to hear that your little girl isn't feeling well. Gingerale can be dehydrating itself because of it's sugar content. I know you said she doesn't like pedialite but maybe you could try the popcycles they make. My doc had me drink gaterade when I was preg and dehydrated and it helped allot!

I hope Emmie's feeling better today! Gatorade helps me the best when I'm dehydrated.

Thanks everyone! I didn't even think of gingerale actually making things worse, that's good to know for the future.

She isn't doing as bad today as I thought she would. Maybe it's a blessing she vomits so much right after an accident, she seems to get alot of it out of her system. Today she just has a bit of a fever, and she's really tired. But she's holding food and drink down, so all is good. I'll just roll up my sleeves and prepare for the moodiness that awaits us. I think that's the worst part of it all, the tantrums and mood swings!

What always baffles me about her reactions is how it affects her speech. She regresses, and she talks in alot of jargon, or things that don't make any sense. It's strange to watch really...I wish more doctors could see this happen, and I think they would think of Celiac as much more than just a gut problem.

Anyway, this too shall pass! Thank you all for the kind words.

I am sorry about your gluten accident. I found this out by accident.

I am not sure if your child is lactose intolerant...

But if she eats yogurt.. this is what I found... I started feeding the baby Yo baby yougurt. and the baby eats two containers ... The yogurt helps the vomiting to not be as violent.

So what I am saying is that for breakfast every morning ......I feed the baby two things of yogurt and it helps the vomiting to not be as bad ... when it happens. This also helps the digestive tract to strenghten . This accidental yogurt find happend when the baby was vomiting because, he was being glutened by me on accident. I heard the yogurt helps ... so I tried it . for the flu season ,.,, and it helped for this .

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
