Hello From Newbie. Mom Of Possible Wheat/gluten Allergic Child


ON.Mom

Recommended Posts

ON.Mom Newbie

Good day. Just wanted to introduce myself...I am a Mom to a 11 year old boy. When he was about 6 weeks old we figured out he was reacting to milk and milk products. Ever since then, he has had to be very careful of what he eats. We read everything, everytime we purchase it.

Recently we took him to our family doctor because he was losing weight - 7 lbs in 1 month. He is underweight to begin with - always has been. He hadn't doubled his birth weight at a year. He now weighs in at a hefty 56.5 lbs, up a 3.5 lbs from 4 months ago. Anyway, our famly doctor suggested we "monitor the situation", so I immediately made an appt with our Naturopath. We decided to have a "Food Specific IgG Antibody Assessment" done.

I received those results today, and he shows moderate reactions to wheat gliadin, gluten, spelt, eggs, and high reaction to whole wheat.

The suggestions from the lab are to eliminate the reactive products from his diet for a minimum 3 months. Which we plan on doing. I have been doing research all afternoon, and it brought me to this site.

Any suggestions are welcome! I am already used to making food from scratch, so that is not a problem for me. He loves to bake and cook, so I am hoping to empower him by having him help.

Thanks everyone, I look forward to learning more from all of you!

Hi, im a mom of a 7 yr old, who hasnt been diganosed yet, but gi dr is pretty postive it is. Since he started kindergarden 2 yrs ago, he began to have bathroom issuies. (pooping and peeing himself and not telling anyone), he weighs all of 34 lbs and is 43" tall. He is ADHD and is on a med called vyvance. Its a wonderfull medication for him. It has helped soo much. The first year of kindergarden he was walking out of the class room, jump around like a frog, hiding under tables and so on. The second year of kindergarden he was on the meds and was able to sit down like a regular child and be able to learn what everyone else was doing. He will poop himself and not tell anyone. Its been very frustrating. Had many people tell me that he's doing it for attention. But he is a happy kid, loves to learn and play. Any info you might have learned that might be helpfull to me and my family would be most apprecaited.

      What can I do next? Just continue getting gluten from food and do the tests again after some time like 6 months while observing symptoms if any? I read somewhere if a person has NCGS he shouldn't have any blood tests high. So I'm worry.

      Wow she was just playing with play dough yesterday and I actually thought i wonder if I have to worry about play dough! But no meltdowns yesterday. Is your daughter celiac or just gluten sensitive/intolerant? Your son still had to go on Ritalin after going gluten free?

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.
