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!!!

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
