Hello every one,

I am so scared and confused.

My son is on a gfdfsf diet,he tried oats in one period but off oats for 3 months now.

His mood is very much up and down.He is studying very hard and some of his exams is A and sometimes he gets F in the same subjects that he is very good at.

Some times he can not concentrate on a very very simple problem.

Please tell me what else can be the reason?

can vitamin B complex be the reason?

Other food intolerances could cause similar problems. Some kids have trouble processing things high in phenols (artificial flavors, sweeteners and food dyes). There may be an inherent enzyme deficiency at work, a problem converting sulphur to sulfate or even a deficit of sulfate ions in the body (which all are key to how the liver processes daily toxins). All of these can cause the problems you are describing.

You may want to look into the Feingold diet or at least try eliminating unnecessary non-food items (like the dyes and other processed foods that are loaded with synthetic chemicals and MSG).

Some people swear by a sub-lingual B-12 and that may be a contributing factor but more than likely, it's yet another symptom and not the true culprit behind what you are seeing.

The best advice I could give is to take a deep breath and start devising a game plan as to how to figure this out. Start by looking at what he is eating and look to see if there is anything that is questionable as far as a gluten/dairy/soy exposure. From there, try removing all food colorings, MSG, artificial sweeteners, nitrates and nitrites for a few weeks and document what you observe.

As things progress, you *may* want to try giving him a bath with Epsom salt on days that he seems to have trouble. The skin will absorb magnesium sulfate directy for use in sulfation (it doesn't have to be converted by the body from sulfur to sulfate). If that helps, it's a sulfation problem. And please understand that this isn't something that should be done daily as magnesium sulfate is very alkaline and frequent use can cause rashes.

I'm sorry that you're going through this with your son. It's such a hard thing to see them struggle and feel helpless about it. Hopefully, you'll find some things to help him soon.

In addition to the above post you might want to try no grains for awhile.

if he is not taking B12 he should be...

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?

      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.
