Cc Questions

We are about 3 weeks gluten free and my daughter is doing fairly well, No More Stomachaches!!!

My question is about CC. We understand it because she also has peanut allergies, but what is hard for us is that there are no immediate symptoms so we are not sure how good we are doing. She does now and again complain of stomach aches, but we are not sure if this is her not understanding the feeling of being hungry and being full versus having a true stomach ache. One of our concerns is Play Doh. She is old enough to know not to eat it (which my kids never did). We also have always washed our hands after playing. Is this good enough? Also, our house not 100% gluten free but we wipe everything down and cook her foods first. Any other suggestions?

Oh, by the way, Is Pam cooking spray safe? We noticed that there is grain alcohol in it! This is where we get really confused!!

Thank you all again for all of your great info. & help. :D

Hi, the play dough issue is tricky. You have to remember that the play dough can get stuck under the nails or maybe your child is not eating it but for some reason she puts her hand to her mouth and there you go. My household is not gluten free either. I do the same as you, I cook all of his food first and wash everything down thoroughly. So far I have not seen any signs of cross contamination either. Just remember to use a seperate toaster for her and seperate jelly jars, mustard, etc. For my son the symptoms have always been constipation so it took a few days to know he had gluten anyway. If you have only been gluten free for 3 weeks she is still healing so she may be having some stomach problems still because of that. It took about 3 months for my son to show any obvious improvent.

as far as I know all pam is safe except the one that has flour in it. With our family not all being gluten-free I make dinner gluten-free for all, breakfast and lunch are prepared separately by each person to avoid cc. And yes to avoid possible cc from double dipping I have bought separate butter,jelly, etc and labled them gluten-free with my son's and my names on it. Now I didn't label drinks, I assume cc won't be a problem there I hope. I have 2 gluten-free only shelf in my cabnit and have labeled other shelfed items like cereal gluten-free that wouldn't fit.

As far as playdough I have put that on hold for now and we use moon sand instead. My son has been gluten-free nearly 4 weeks while I am just working on my 1st week.

Pam is fine, it's from corn. There is a Pam for baking with wheat flour, but regular Pam is okay.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
