Hey everyone...

Well, its been almost 2 months gluten free and my lil 2 1/2 year old has been doing awesome. I really havent let her eat to much weird stuff just trying to keep it simple. BUT....easter is here so we decided to treat her cause of our own guilt. And she just had 3 episodes of bad diahrea and belly pain. So i am trying to figure out what it could be. These are the 4 things she had that are not in the norm.

McDonalds Fries

NY Fries

chocolate eggs

Dynatap cold medicine

If anyone has any idea or info i would really appreciate your help..

Thanks in advance

Well, let's go backwards.

Dimetap is gluten-free (all varieties) per Clan Thompson Drug Smartlist and Mfg.

McDonald's Fries: They had a problem with the oil, a lawsuit, and huge media blitz, and then they changed their formula (I think), but the testing revealed no Gluten in the oil I have no problem with them, but CC could be an issue in the store.

Chocolate Eggs: They CAN definitely be a problem. You have to read the ingredients very carefully to look for Barley as source of some ingredients (Wheat is declared).

NY Fries: Definitely could be a problem! The oil has to be dedicated to fries (McDonald's IS, btw) - and not used for battered products!

My guess is that it was either the eggs, the NY Fries or both. The big chocolate Easter Bunnies (molded & hollow) are really a problem because they seem to use a barley derivative for them and might be the same for the hollow formed eggs as well.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
