Was My Son Glutened


confused

Yesterday, my son had to take an pie to school for math class, cause they were discussing pi, i told him he would not be able to eat the banana cream pie. Well him being the teenager that he is, he ate some of the pie, but said i didnt touch the crust so i thought i would be ok. The other day he ate an breakfast burritoe and didnt eat the tortialla and said he thought he would be ok to, but it only hurt a tiny bit that day. he came home last night in tears from the pain.

But now i sit here and wonder, is he gluten intolerant or lactose intolerant. Since it was the cream in the pie that made him so sick.

We dont have an diagnoses for him yet, so i am still confused. I just know that I and his teacher saw an improvement when he was eatling less gluten and drinking soy milk.

What would you all think, gluten or lactose, or maybe a little bit of both? What do u think i should do next. Im thinking maybe seeing an allergy dr, or how do u test for lactose intolerant. Our appt with the ped Gi isnt til april 11.

He also said his poop is floating and very stinky

any help i would appreciate

Eating the pie filling and not the crust, to me is the same as eating gluten. You may have heard many here say that you just can't take the croutons off the salad - a new clean salad is a must.

I suspect that you step son glutened himself. I am sorry for for his distress. :(

Also, in addition the lactose is absorbed on the tips of the villi, if he had damage to his villi, he could very well be reacting to the lactose.

That is what i told him, even if it is by each other, u can get sick. But he is still having a hard time with this all. I am so happy he starts spring break after today, I can keep an eye on him and have time to sit down and have an long talk with him, I even bought him the cleiacs for dummy book, and i bought me the Dr Green book, they should be both in next week. I think if he reads more about it, he will finally start to listen to me. And I am so happy he will be home to watch The View on wednesday, i think that will help to.

He was sick this morning, but he wanted to go to school today, he has an wrestling meet after school. I am so happy i will be at the meet tonight to make sure he is ok.

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

      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!

      How do I contact someone at celiac.com concerning the cessation of my weekly e-newsletter? I had been receiving it regularly for years. When I tried to sign-up on the website, my email was not accepted. I tried again with a new email address and that was rejected as well. Thank you in advance!

      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?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
