Still Struggling ..

I am still having issues with my son.

He was diagnosed in January by biopsy.

His main symptom was throwing up everyday and multiple times along with pain and grumbling.

He got the sickest after eating chocolate at Halloween. At that time he could not eat any chocolate w/o throwing up and a lot of pain.

We started him on the gluten free diet.

I did not change soaps/shampoos though.

He showed improvement.Throwing up slowed down. He recovered a lot faster and not everyday.

Late Feb. March he had a few weeks w/o throwing up.

He snuck pretzels about 1.5-2 months ago and I am having a hard time getting him better again.

Is the chocolate getting him sick a strong indicator of some other sensitivities to other foods?

WE also were doing a lot of remodeling in our house could there be dust that is making him sick?

I have allowed him to have food with natural flavoring.

I think that is all I have slacked on.

I told my girls they can not cook anything with flour in it for awhile to see if we are having any cc issues.

I have orders to retest his ttg and am going to take him in this week to see if his antibodies are still up.

I am not sure how to figure out if other foods are giving him problems.

I feel bad he is still having problems. He has missed most of his summer school because of it.

I'm sorry to hear he is not feeling better. Did you also cut out dairy and sugar? I would find an allergist and take him there. I went to one and discovered I'm allergic to many things and once I eliminated them I am starting to feel much better. Dairy and sugar are the two major ones I eliminated - but from what I understand dairy intolerance goes along with Celiac (I was diagnosed end of March and still learning about this diesease)

I do cheat on the no-sugar (I have a huge sweet tooth!) When I eat sugar I get bloated and have abdomin pain - no throwing up. When I have the dairy tho I sometimes get sick from that.

I hope you can narrow it down - you may have to gradually add/subtract things from his diet to really get a handle on what is making him ill. But I would find a good allergist for him. As you mentioned, it could be environmental (since you are remodeling).

Good luck!

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
