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

Nicole

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.

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer drill would not have required this level of stress, nor the time it took). Bad idea--learn from my mistake in being "lazy" and not renting (or buying) the proper tool for the job. My umbilical hernia was around for many years, and I didn't feel that one at all, so never worried about it. My doctor basically recommended doing both in one surgery, which seemed like wise move.  As far as the possible IBS connection to either, it was definitely apparent after getting the Inguinal hernia, which is why I asked my doctor about that, but after getting both fixed I realize that the umbilical hernia likely also had mild IBS effects over the years.

      @Scott Adams  Strange question but can you actually feel your hernia?  I have so many abdominal lumps and bumps of longstanding (my GP said it's fat!) that I sometimes wonder if an inguinal hernia could be missed.  I am quite sure some of my pain is from my umbilical hernia but that first came about courtesy of my second pregnancy.

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      Thanks for sharing this! I've always wanted to go to Ireland, and we did include Ireland in a recent top travel destinations article, so it's nice to know that we got that right:

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had double hernia laparoscopic surgery two months go to repair both an Inguinal hernia (a recent home project injury) and an umbilical hernia (which I had for many years, but fixing it at the same time made sense), and am now more or less fully recovered. Recently on the forum someone mentioned the idea of hernia induced IBS, which I now believe was a real for me, but was a fairly minor issue overall, which got worse after getting the more recent Inguinal hernia. My doctor never mentioned this as a possibility, even though I directly asked him about it during my office visit: Me "can my hernias cause any digestive issues?" My doctor: "No, I doubt that." I still need to learn more about hernia induced IBS, but I realize now that I might have been affected by this to some degree in for a while.
