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!)

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      I’ve recently had bloods test due to fatigue. Iron was found to be low Serum ferritin level 4 ug/L so doctor sent for Coeliac test. Results have come back TTG ABS NUMERICAL > 250.0 U/mL is this a high reading? Am not waiting a Gastroenterology referral but this could take 10 weeks! This is all total new to me, didn’t think for a second I would have coeliac disease. Been advised not to change diet until seen by specialist
