Close Call With Milky Way...

Last night my daughter ate a milky way! :o I was waiting for the full-on reaction knowing that Snickers = Safe and Milky Way = Malt.

Thankfully, no reaction (GI anyway) ever came other than a few raunchy belches but boy was I mad!! I think she made an honest mistake but I could swear I've told her Milky Way is not safe (it wasn't the dark variety). You'd think she had just run out into traffic the way I scolded her.

Hopefully we'll make it through this one symptom free and I've promised her that just because it is barley, doesn't make it any less damaging than wheat. All our accidental glutenings have been with wheat, so I didn't really know what would happen if it was malt/barley.

I have assured her up and down that just because she didn't have a reaction *this time* does by no means give her license to go Milky Way crazy.

Of course, now that it is Saturday morning and she has to clean her room, suddenly she "doesn't feel good." Ohhhhhh the drama. :P

I'm glad she's safe, though!

:) Hi! I'm glad that she felt ok after eating it. It scares me sometimes when my daughter tells me her stomach hurts & I try to think of what she ate. I'm sure she will remember next time not to eat that kind of candybar.

"Of course, now that it is Saturday morning and she has to clean her room, suddenly she "doesn't feel good." Ohhhhhh the drama. :P " hehe That kind of sounds like my daughter. She said her stomach hurt and didn't want to go to Sunday School but she did want to go shopping after church. Because she said I'm sure I'll feel better by then. Sure! Drama, drama :)

Take care

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
