Excited And Need To Tell You

I'm feeling giddy inside and need to post this about my daughter. I am worried it's just a fluke and will go away when we wake up tomorrow.

She had an almost normal stool tonight for the first time in a long time. No diarrhea!! Then she had a whole bunch of energy and was actually JOGGING around our street, collecting rocks and leaves and a worm. She played with her sister outside without any fights for a long time. This is a girl who is annoyed a lot and watches a lot of TV because she is so tired all the time, does a lot of whining and squirming. She got off the school bus today and looked HAPPY. She usually is tired and complaining and wants to be held.

Can it really be the diet after only 2 days? It has to be the diet because I've not seen her like this for years. She's like a changed person (knock on wood). Even her sister said "Something is wrong with her. I threw her necklace and she didn't even get mad at me".

Susan (mom to Savanna, age 6, gluten/casein free - 9/16/08)

It was that instant for us with both of our kids-Thank God, right!!! It's such a relief. I'm so glad she's feeling better!

That is great! It is a wonderful feeling to watch your child feel well for the first time....I still remember the moment vividly even though it was 3 years ago. My husband and I realized about the same time that Emmie was playing by herself. This was huge for her, and it was the first time in about 2 years that she wasn't in my arms or stuck to me like glue. She was happily, and quietly, playing. Such a simple thing, but we realized how huge it was.

Congratulations again, and good luck on your new eating adventures....knowing your child is feeling better makes the difficult aspects of the diet much easier to handle!

Wonderful! That sounds just like my daughter's recovery. And she just keeps getting better. :)

Isn't it just amazing and wonderful! Welcome to the rewards of gluten free parenting! Seeing your kids blossom is so incredible. I've said many times that our life was much harder pre-diagnosis, we just didn't know it! I know my son's life is so much better now. I'm so happy for you and your daughter (and her sister! :D ).

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
