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.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
