My friend's baby seems not to tollerate most foods. When she was a newborn and my friend was breaskfeeding the baby reacted negatively to protien food like meats, wheat,dairy,corn,egg..etc....

And baby decided to wean herself off mamma milk so my friend gave her formula, then she switched to the hypo- allergenic one for a few months. Now she is on carnation good start.

The baby is 6-7 months old and seems to be reacting negatively to rice,oatmeal,some fruits.

She is a very fussy baby, gassy, gets a diaper/allergy rash ring on her bum when eats an offending food. She also has GERD/Refulx.

My friend took her to an alternative doc and did some muscle response testing and she came back allergic to just about everything.

My friend wants some testing done but doesn't want to expose her to the food before the test.

She wants to know what grain can she have???

Oatmeal is out and with Rice cereal she gets extremely constipated, even with just 1 tsp mixed with a jar of fruit in a day.

She also seems to be allergic to peas & bananas..And other fruits she has tried go through her fast.

Anyone have some advice I can send her, please email me.

at six months, it may just be too early for most foods. her digestive system may need more time to develop.

I tired to tell her that but she says her baby screams and gets really mad if she isn't also eatting baby foods...she eats 3 meals a day along with her formula...she's 7 months old now. She says the baby wants to eat from a spoon more than a bottle, she often refuses her bottles.

I personally think my friend introduced solids too early knowing her baby has possible food allergies.

If a six month old baby is reacting that badly to foods, I would just give the baby formula. There is enough nutrition in formula to keep them healthy and growing until they are 4 years old. I wouldn't rush solids. The baby's reactions are saying I'm not ready for this. I didn't start feeding my son solids until he was 9 months old and then took it very slow. He was and still is allergic to lactose. I'm sure that I have so many allergies because I was fed solids too soon. My baby book said I had orange juice at 6 weeks old! I can't drink too much of it to this day. I wish your friend luck. I definitely would tell her not to push solids at this time.

That's the advise I give her but she isn't taking it. However she keeps asking me for advise on the topic. She says she can't not give her baby food, the baby is wanting it so badly...I give up don't know what else to say to her.

Just my opinion, but I don't think I'd put much stock in the muscle response testing, especially not on a 6-month-old.

janel, two possibilities that come to mind are either an eosinophilic problem, or a condition called FPIES---food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome.

Can you reffer me to some sites that will better explain what this is?

I have been verbally telling her everyone's responses because with 2 kids and 1 on the way she has little to no internet time anymore. I'm sad to say she is not gonna take the advise that everyone is offering thus far. I totally agree with many of you she should stop solids. I'm just very fustrated because she calls me often and asks for advise on this topic but doesn't take the advise given.

Is your friend a celiac as well? This sounds very much like my friend's daugher (friend is celiac, her hubby is IBS). The child has no IgA, multiple food sensitivities (wheat, soy, egg) and allergies (milk, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame) and a genetic fructose-sucrose sensitivity causing lack of a certain enzyme (therefore no sugar, fruit, high sugar veggies, or sorbitol).

Not that I know of. But my friend does have IBS and some food allergies like she's allergic to melon.

Is IBS related to celiac or wheat intollerantcy?

Perhaps it's time to say "I've given all the advice I can give. I understand that you are looking for a different answer, but I don't have a different answer to give, so please stop asking." (or time to just stop giving advise even when asked...) There's only so much you can do.

IBS is one of the most common mis-diagnoses of celiac.

I will be sure to let her know along with my mother in law who has IBS as well.

And I hate to sound harsh to her but I agree next time she asks for advise I will be blunt and tell her I have given you my advise and it's still the same.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
