Im having my daughter tested, although she has no symptoms. She is 15yrs old. I was diagnosed just over a year ago and for peace of mind, i want to make sure she is ok. has anyone had their children tested positive without any symptoms ? My 17yr old son went on the diet on his own, because of bad stomach pain and is now on the gluten free diet. Hopefully my daughter will test neg.

I think it is great you are having her tested! My 13 month old daughter is getting tested tomorrow, and seems pretty obviously celiac. If she tests positive we will be having EVERY member of our family tested just to be sure. We have a history of digestive problems, and this may be the key to it all.

I would not be surprised if your daughter tests positive. It seems that I read somewhere that a father has a higher percentage chance of passing it on to his daughter than to his son. I hope it comes out neg, good luck to you!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      Natural remedies

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
