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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium. A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake. With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.

I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.
