Wow! I Am Enjoying My 2yr Old In The Gluten-free Diet!

I am so happy!! my daughter has been 14 days in the gluten-free world and she is doing great!! today,I had so much fun with her.. we danced Celia Cruz (salsa), we played with pillows, we ran around... and we behave like monkeys!! I had never done this with my daughter, and tonight she was laughing and having so much fun!! I write this with tears in my eyes, because there is nothing more unfair in life than seeing a 2 year old in a hospital, in a hospital gown and having medical procedures!

Today, I felt so good.... seeing that she is better and that my wife and I are being able to help her get better.

I love seeing my daughter happy...

That's wonderful to hear! I'm so happy for you and your little girl :D

I am so happy that you have some answers and a happy girl again.

That is so great to hear. It's amazing what a diet change can do for our kids. I just noticed the other day how much more energy my little guy has. He now walks to and from school when picking up his older brother instead of taking just a few steps and wanting to be picked up.

Thank is so beautiful and exciting to read. My son has been gluten free since last Tuesday and we look forward to seeing the changes coming...Thanks for sharing and have a great day.

It is truly remarkable.....I still get goose bumps remembering how great it felt to really get my little girl back after she started on the diet. We really didn't see any of her personality until she was over three years old, she was always either asleep or crying. Congratulations on the good health...things will just continue to improve!

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.

      @Rebeccaj,  When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air.  Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract.   If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies.

      ok thanks for your advice. But my question was what happens when someone you know in a house is cooking pasta or toast that's flour  Airbourne without eating.?

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."
