Allergies And Reactions, Help!

My 3 yr old is like Jekyl and Hyde. If i feed her something she can't handle she pees in her pants and is mean to her younger sister and irritable and sad and cries about nothing or if you do something small it will set her off screaming and it's just so terrible.

So after over a year of being gluten free and finding out what else is bothering her I finally feel like we might have no more problems. But I'm tired of plain food and wish I could just eat and feed my whole family whatever without thinking about it. Plus all my adult friends think I'm crazy and it's just that she is 3, no one seems to want to believe that food can affect behavior.

So she is not eating

gluten

peanuts

dairy

egg

soy

corn

orange or any citrus

no meat

sugar, cane juice (seems to be related to corn somehow)

and buckwheat

Has anyone done this for a long time and found these other allergies not gluten go away as the gut heals.

She eats rice cakes, beans, and more rice

quinoa with sundried tomatoes

hemp seeds

really likes the hemp milk

maple syrup

vegetable soup

rice pasta

fruit

fruit smoothies with nuts

these crackers we make out of flax seeds, sunflower seeds, onion, and salt dehydrated.

I try to sneak in B12 while she is napping cause mine was low.

Anyone have any other idea of what else I could feed her or kind words instead of your crazy?

YOUR NOT CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!! :D

It is possible that food does that to her!!!! I used to get grumy and over-emotional when I ate Gluten(ofcourse didn't correlate it then and it happens when I get CC'd)

I can't help in the food dept but I do think that food causes those kinds of reactions!!!!

My friend's son was alergic to wheat, dairy, egg, peanut, and something else - might have been soy. They did extensive testing when he was three (originally thought he had Celiac). He's now 7 and the only alergy left is peanut.

She gave me a cookbook when my daughter was diagnosed called The Food Allergy News Cookbook (from the Food Allergy Network) that has a lot of recipes that would get you most of the way there - then you may be able to make some minor substitutions for sugar and such . .. I checked their website, they've got a much newer book than the one she gave me.

It might be worth looking around the website to get a little insight.

Also, people have written about sunflower seed butter as a substitute for peanut butter - I haven't seen it but I've never looked for it either so I don't know how hard it is to find.

You are most definately NOT CRAZY! :P

My 11yo daughter reacts to less food than yours but has definate reactions which I am just now getting a grip on. She has been gluten-free for nearly a year and now after eliminating gluten I can finally see what it is she is also having trouble with.

We have just been to a cafe that serves wonderful gluten-free food and she had a chocolate almond torte for dessert. She is well and truly reacting by pitching fits, telling me and her sister she hates us and generally being very emotional. I am now 100% certain she reacts to chocolate and by tomorrow she more than likely will have brain fog, be very lethargic and also have really bad acne. She also reacts this way to sugar and beef and rich tomato sauces. :wacko:

For what it's worth, I think it sounds like your daughter has a tremendous diet and it is great you can sneak in the B12.

That list is not too bad & yes she will probably be able to eat some of those foods later on.

when I was eating gluten and 24 years old, I had some allergy tests run on myself & my infant very ill son.

Here is what I was allergic to: (I have double DQ1 genes)

all citrus, tomatoes, peaches, potatoes, green peas, split peas, pork, beef, mushrooms, corn, cod fish, oats, barley, tea, coffee, sodas, black pepper, peanuts, dairy, soy, and a few other things that I cannot remember. Talk about reading labels!!!

I never ate oats or barley after that & was wheat free mostly, for 10 years & then I went gluten free 3 years ago. I am 60 now !!!

Now I can eat peanut butter but not canned peanuts (I know this is weird), I also can now eat oranges, lemons & pineapple, lots of tomatoes, pork & corn plus I do not have any new food allergies well except that I cannot eat any of the "replacement" gluten-free grains. I am very happy to be eating these things & really have no problem with my gluten-free/DF diet. Sometimes I will have a potato but mostly I am happy with sweet potatoes.

I lived on almond butter for awhile. I used to get mine at whole foods.

For rice I used to brown an onion and some garlic in olive oil, add some chopped celery & saute & then pour in the cooked rice, add any chopped meat or a can of tuna, I would eat this with a green vegetable, & a baked sweet potato. I always ate this whenever I got sick (before I knew about gluten or wheat in soy sauce!)

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
