Daughter And Symptoms...

:( I was just diagnosed with celiac disease - saw the nutritionist today. Anyway, we are awaiting the blood screening on my 11-year-old daughter. I am seriously wondering if she has celiac too. She has always had a funny tummy - lots of spitting up as a baby. She also will sometimes vomit after a meal - no real reason; she's certainly not sick.

Anyway, here are other concerns we have with her... acne (pretty severe for one so young; nothing works on it), mood problems (we're talking severe), ADHD-like symptoms, unexplained hives/rashes, asthma, allergies, nosebleeds... That's just what I can think of right now.

Has anyone else seen anything like this in their children or themselves? Thanks!

Sounds like classis gluten responses to me. For me, my acne only goes away if I stay away from dairy. They say acne isn't caused by food, but staying away from dairy has been a miracle for my skin. I also use Toms of Maine soap and even though I have dry skin, it doesn't irritate it. Good luck!

Sure have, myself and both my kids. I would give her a good try on the diet no matter what the testing reveals. You may find yourself with a completely different kid in a relatively short time.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
