DD turned 10 in Aug. and found out 3 yrs. ago that she had celiac disease. But in the past month she has had 3 crying spells. Would this have to do with celiac disease or puberty??? I know they say depression, concentration problems and so on are things that can occur with celiac disease but is that so being off of wheat and gluten or only while you're eating wheat/gluten??

Thanks so much!!!!

Is it possible she could have been glutened somehow? My 8 year old gets extremely moody and emotional if he's had gluten, even a small amount. The smallest thing will set him into a crying spell. If that's not it, it could possibly be hormonal changes/puberty approaching. It seems to start so much earlier with girls these days. Good luck, having an emotional child can be very trying, lol.

Thanks! Isn't that so weird how gluten can affect someone. Well I don't think she's accidentally had gluten. She wouldn't cheat either. She went thru a lot of pain before being diagnosed and doesn't want to go thru anything like that again. It would've been accidental if she had been glutened. Maybe it's just horomones. Let the fun began, if it is horomones. ha ha....

Yes, let the fun begin. My girls are adults now but I can sure remember. At age 10 and female, all the girls are attempting to be on the top of the pile, at all cost. Friends get betrayed, talking behind your back and no regard for feelings. Then the herd mentality kicks in. If you're out with one, baby, you're out with all. It's an awful, awful time for these young people.

Self-confidence and a stong interest in a personal hobby or sport will help quite a bit.

sclark,

If it is potentially gluten related, two scenarios:

1. If she is getting a low but consistent amount of gluten, and you might not know that she is, it might be worth it to have the full Celiac blood panel run, just to make sure. If you haven't had her Celiac blood work run in awhile, it might be good just to ensure that she is doing well.

2. It could be due to small amounts of gluten (specific incidents)...many on here report mood disturbances when glutened.

Is she eating out? Are you careful of cross contamination at home--Separate butters, mayos, cream cheese, etc? Separate toasters?

(I just wanted to provide the gluten side of this....but it just as easily could be hormones!)

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      They both do.  The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors. M&M Peanut: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, skim milk, cocoa butter, lactose, milkfat, peanuts, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor), peanuts, sugar, cornstarch; less than 1% of: palm oil, corn syrup, dextrin, colors (includes blue 2 lake, blue 1 lake, red 40, yellow 6 lake, yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1, yelskim milk contains caseinlow 5 lake, blue 2, red 40 lake), carnauba wax, gum acacia. glycemic index of Tootsie Rolls ~83 gycemic index of M&M Peanuts ~33   The composition of non-fat solids of skim milk is: 52.15% lactose, 38.71% protein (31.18% casein, 7.53% whey protein), 1.08% fat, and 8.06% ash.   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9781118810279.ch04  Milkfat carries the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The solids-not-fat portion [of milk] consists of protein (primarily casein and lactalbumin), carbohydrates (primarily lactose), and minerals (including calcium and phosphorus). https://ansc.umd.edu/sites/ansc.umd.edu/files/files/documents/Extension/Milk-Definitions.pdf

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
