Came Out Of The Closet And Did Are Gonna Do The Switch!

No, not how you think *lol*! I finally contacted a Supportgroup, sadly the closest one is over an hour of drive from here. They invited us for their annual POTLUCK BBQ coming up and well go! It'll be so nice to be able to give Brandy anything she wants since everything will be glutenfree!!!! They also put me in contact with another Lady who is Celiac as well and she's from my city Sierra vista! Even though she was never officialluy diagnosed, she gets sick after glutened so badly and it takes her up to three weeks to recover from that! I do believe that since it takes for my dd the same ammount of time now to recover! After I took her off the first time of Gluten (Iwasn't evens ure if that's what it was that bugged her) it took only a bit over a week for her to go back to normal and sleep through the night!. the second time around IO had eher again 3 weeks glutenfree, two days befre the 3 week mark she started sleeping through the night again , on the 3 week makr the Gastro called me and said I have to put her back on gluten otherwiese a biopsy ther only way to pin it down is not gonna turn up anything! So it was back to Gluten again, now she's been 5 dasy off of it, still no improvement, it should acutally get worse again since my son unintentionally fed her a couple of noodles today by dropping some down to the floor :blink: where she picked them up as she crawled by! :ph34r: . she knew what I was after when I yelled out adn attempted to dig them out of her mouth. Once she got something in her mouth she'll not give it up! This did it, I called my husband and told him aobut what had happened and we decided we will go Glutenfree in this house. It's just too dangerous, and one slipup like that ruins all the glutenfree days she had before plus the fact that she seems to react worse everytim she's been off gluten and then gets some! Besides that I realized today that her Vitamindrops have Gluten in them as well :angry: I've been on the phone this morning calling around! Motrin themselves offer this dyefree Motrin which they at least on their website officilally declare gluten and caseinfree! they did say on the phone tha tnoe of their Meds havve gluten in them anymore and that simply not all of them had this expensive test that proves that they really are glutenfree, but this one seems to have been tested since they point that out. Even though the other motrins might be just as Glutenfree and good with this one I'll calm my concience!

Thanks for listening!

Here the link for that Motrin:

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
