Still In The Midst Of A Gluten Reaction (m)...

My dd is continuing to have accidents and she had about 4 last night. When she has gluten what essentially happens is she gets so constipated she gets an impaction and then the accidents are from the watery stool that slips around it. Just lovely. My dh gave her a glycerin suppository last night and within 5 minutes she had an enormous BM that was probably the worst I've ever seen.

Now that we're past this part of it I should be able to judge if she's still getting gluten from school or not. Until the impaction is resolved I can't tell if her irritablitity/accidents are from that or gluten. She seemed better this morning. I'm very anxious to have my nice, sweet little girl back...

I am sorry. I get constipation from gluten, dairy, and maybe too much corn? Still figuring out corn. Hope it passes soon.

Depending on your daughters age (grade level)...do you know if they are doing things like arts and crafts where she is using glue that has gluten in it or if she is really young some schools stuff do art stuff with noodles. Some classes they do stuff with clay type material. Does she share food with any of the kids at school (where they switch a snack they have with someone elses)? Do the teachers give out candy or any type of food that has gluten in it?

Hope she feels better soon.

Holiday,

I know what you are going through. The accidents for us take several weeks to days to resolve, but there is nothing more frustrating then cleaning up after an irritable child. They are frustrated we are frustrated, it just isn't a good time. My sympathies are with you.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
