He Is Such A Grump The Last Few Days!

We have had William gluten-free for almost a week and the last 2 days he has been AWFUL! So grumpy and talking back. He doesn't like anything. He just threw a fit because we are making him a special pizza all for him... Is this just because his body is going through like a withdrawl or something? He has his moments usually and he used to have a bad bit with screaming and stuff and that stopped for a while and the last 2 days he has been way worse than before!

Don't discount the emotional/psychological effect that such a drastic change in diet could bring on as well. Hopefully, it'll pass soon! :-)

Some people do indeed go through withdrawal.

You know I was so sad this morning when he wanted to go get donuts... :( That used to be our special treat and I had to tell him we couldn't do that because they would make him sick and he just didn't want to believe it.

Could be withdrawal, or he's really young right? So could be really hard for him to deal with too. A lot of adults have trouble dealing!

I'm pretty sure I went through withdrawal. Had a bad headache for 4 days or so.. and mild one, making it about a week.

I'm not certain how you'd feel about this suggestion, but here goes :rolleyes: I gather William is quite young still? To make him feel like he isn't being singled out for negative treatment (you get one pizza, he gets something "different") why not all of you go gluten-free with him, in the house and in his presence anyway? Then, trying new things would be an adventure for all of you, he's still part of his favorite crowd of people, and it's not perceived as just a punishment for him.

As for donuts, my kids LOVE (and I mean are really crazy for) Kinnicknick (how is this spelled?) donuts. They're frozen in packs of 6. All varieties are awesome (my fave is the cinnamon sugar one.) In no sense of the word are they "diet" food (more calories than a krispy kreme!) You could still make a trip out to get donuts with him. :)

My, now 10 year old daughter, was a chronic grump for about 3 months. She didn't like the food. "It tastes funny," she would say. It takes a while for a child to adjust to something like this. It is a huge lifestyle change in your kitchen and in their mouth. They will eventually get used to it. Especially, when they really, really start feeling better.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
