ok my 8yr dd had her endoscop and colonoscopy done today and they ruled out crohns

but we wont have the biopsy results back for a few days to a week

they did find grade 4 errosion of her esophgus and some gastrist in her stomach

can that be related to celiacs? or is that seperate issues altogether

another thing i am shocked about is they are testing her for crohns and celiac but as she came to they offered her nothing but glutton

what if she was celiac they had only chex mix, gold fisha nd grammy bears for her to eat arghhhhhhhh

i said she cant have those they make her stomach hurt they were surprised and said well thats all we have

and this is a childrens hospital right before she went in a little 3yrold was having his scope done and had a huge post on his celiac blood panel so i

wonder if they fed him glutton too

:(

when nicole went in for her scope they found she also has gastritis and esophagitis also she is on prevacid now and doing great with it. When she woke up they just offered her a popsicle because they dont really want them to eat alot or heavy for a while. Maybe they figure since you don't know yet what does it matter. But it does matter especially if it hurts them. Nicole came back celiac even though they couldn't see it before the biopsy results came back.

I hope all goes well for you now on.

My son has duodentitis and is on Nexium...works well.

We had that experience too at a Childrens hospital - offered a sandwich :blink:

When Kathryn was reovering form her appendectomy - she had nothing to eat for 2 days because she was sick (vomiting) then had surgery...offered her jello the first day and then - get this - her first real food is not rice or soup or someting easy to digest. Kathryn said it almost made her sick looking at it - a huge plate with 2 pieces of chicken, fries (which no one knew if they were cross contaminated), and carrots. Kathryn refused it all because the fries had touched the other food on the plate. She was labeled as "difficult eater"

Any time a hospital stay is involved, I throw in some handy "stand bys" of gluten free products.

Reflux is one of my main symptoms when I'm glutened. I had surgery for it when I was 10 but it came back. Now that I'm gluten-free I only get reflux if I eat gluten. Even a crumb will make me reflux for about 3 weeks. You may find that after she goes gluten-free the reflux will go away over time.

It is crazy that hospitals offer food that you can't eat. I told my doctor that I suspected celiac and went gluten-free. They sent me in for a test where they watch you swallow a bagel and marshmallow. I brought my own gluten-free bagel because they would have expected me to eat a gluten filled bagel if I hadn't. I'm pregnant and decided that I'm bringing my food from home for when I'm in the hospital. Too many people here had horror stories about what the hospitals fed them.

Good luck and hope she feels better!

Hi! I am so sorry for this. I am sure she feels aweful!! Reflux has taken a tole on our lives! My son who is 12 months has horrible reflux that has caused breathing problems, laryangomalatia, unalbe to swallow foods, pnuemonias, apnea spells, severe esophagitis... ya he has had it bad.

My daughter has celiac and so they will be testing him for that but they haven't done it yet. I am only nursing him and they are talking about a feeding tube right now. I didn't really know until recently that gluten went through breast milk and I have had a hard time with my digestive system since he was born. I have gone off gluten for about a week now but no change yet. Maybe he will turn around.

I hope she feels better soon!!!

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
