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.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.
