How Long Does It Take?

I know everyone is different but how long does it typically take to see results on the g.f. diet? My daughter has been on the diet for almost two months now and still has belly pain etc without being c.c'ed (to my knowledge). We had a checkup last week and got all the test results back and only has the celaic gene with no signs of any kind of damage. She is allergic to cow's milk (numbers were low) so maybe it's the milk. She also has gastritis and acid reflux so maybe that's were it's coming from. This is so confusing to not know where the problem is coming from... she is on med's for acid reflux.. has anyone else been thru this?

Well I was an adult and in really sad shape, but I was having fewer symptoms w/in a week or 2 I'm pretty sure. Actually I was out of it enough that I couldn't testify to that. But by 2 months I know I was incredibly better, tho still had much recovery ahead.

I don't know how different it is w/ kids, but to me it sounds like there are other issues.

Best of luck to u.

It was the same for my dd. Going gluten-free ended the belly pain, vomitting, constipation and "d". It was kind of the last puzzle piece for her. Sounds like there is still something missing or going on for dd. ((Hugs))

Hi, my father has Celiac and was very sick with diarrhea prior to diagnosis. He says he saw great improvement within the first week. My son on the other hand, was diagnosed 2 years ago and we were still seeing a lot of symptoms consistantly for the 2 years until finally a doctor said to take him off milk. All of the symptoms have now gone away. We saw positive results within the first week of being dairy free. If your child shows she is allergic to milk (my son was negative to milk allergy so it must be an intolerance) than that is probably why you still see symptoms.

My 9 y.o. daughter has been gluten-free for 2 weeks, and dairy free for nearly that long. Right after she went gluten-free, I was advised by someone, and also read, that she could have a cross-sensitivity to casein, because the structure of casein is so close to that of gluten. She is feeling better - her reflux and gasiness have decreased markedly (though she really hopes to be able to go back on dairy at some point!) We're awaiting Enterolab results, that will hopefully shed more light on what is going on with her, but in the meantime, she is definitely improved. You might try eliminating dairy, and see if that helps your daughter.

Good luck!

With my son as soon as he went dairy free he finally started to feel better. And when I started the diet as well I started to have terrible reactions to dairy and when I took it out I felt better too. So my suggestion would be to remove all sources of dairy/casein.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing that site! Do you know if that site has any information about manufacturing/possible cross contact on it? I can't find it. When I have called manufacturers, most of them say they can't guarantee no cross contact in manufacturing (except Lannett, Mylan and possible Amneal, which aren't available near me).

      Possible cross-contamination – concerned about symptoms

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.
