Is It Possible

Ok so its just a quick question. I know that its better for you to be 100% free glutin free but is it possible that when i took my son down to only 50% gluten free and 50% "everyday foods" that his body started responding to it better? So when the doctor told us to cut out the gluten free and let him eat whatever so they could do this scope, could his body be fighting back and that is why now i am seeing more behavior problems from him?

I started thinking about this last night because i have been keeping a food and behavior diary for him and i looked back at it and the days i had more problems he had a lot of glutin those day and yesturday he had very little and it was the best day/night we have had in a week and 1/2.

I will take anyone thoughts on this, I just really want to get to the bottem of all of his constipation and now behavior problems.

Thanks

I can't find the info now but I'm sure someone else has it since I found it here :D but there is research that says the brain barrier has the same makeup and such as the gut barrier and responds in the same way. And thus some deal with "mental" issues i.e. behavior, add, etc. or issues that mimic brain diseases or causes them in place of or in addition to gut issues.

In my world, gluten makes my baby evil, mean, vicious and is in direct proportion to her intake. Dairy makes my middle one an airhead and he

Once we took dd off of gluten, I've noticed that she was in a good mood all the time. If she has something that has gluten in it, she becomes unbearable. She's cranky and doesn't listen to reason. The next day, she's back to being happy again.

my daughter, she's 7, is the same way! up until she was diagnosed about three months ago, we thought she was just an over sensitive little girl. she was always crying at the tiniest thing, and moody, often quite irritable or just weepy. it got so bad i truly started to question my ability to be a good parent. literally DAYS into the gluten free diet, she was a different child!! happy, funny, energetic, confident, easy going! (not to mention the two inches she grew in just two months!!) in fact sunday my mom glutened her by accident, by sunday night she was cranky and sassy, by monday evening she couldn't even do her very simple homework, she just sat at the table staring off onto space! it can be frustrating! especially with her, cuz she's very bright and homework is usually a breeze for her! it was actually her behavior that led me to calling my mom to go over everything she ate, attitude is always her first symptom, followed by nausea and diarrhea. this disease can be overwhelming and frustrating, but a healthy happy child is worth every single second of the work and effort it requires! ~K

Oh, absolutely! It can cause all sorts of emotional issues, learning issues, health issues, etc. Nothing I hear surprises me in relation to Celiac!

It does effect mood and behavior in me and I am convinced in my 7 yr old daughter. The scary thing is how much I blamed it on my hormones(PMS etc). It has stablized about 95% since being off gluten. So not only does it effect my mood and behavior, but my hormone levels too. scary.

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow. She has put me on some digestive enzymes...

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      Hi @JulieRe. I just found your post. It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida. I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment. In the meantime, I have been working with a functional...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct r...

I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar.

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
