Things Are Getting Better

A big thank you to those who have posted food advice for us. You have proven to be an invaluable resource. Things are starting to turn around at our house. My daughter is now asking for rice with butter, rice noodles, eggs, asparagus.... She's planning her lunches with fruit and nuts (and plenty of Lays potato chips).

She loves the Bell and Evans chicken nuggets. She's learning to like the Larabars. And she's eating, eating, eating. She can't get enough and she's not crying for her old food.

There's still so much for her to learn to like, but I can really see it opening up for her.

I posted her test results here. If you have any thoughts, I'd love to hear them. I am still waiting to hear what her doctor will think and what our next steps are. It's obvious she is responding to the diet. I am interested in getting further testing done. Any thoughts about Enterolabs and their genetic and stool testing?

How wonderful! The eating thing amazed me - the quantity. I always thought my son was a big eater. Then we went gluten free - OH MY! I would pack his lunch box jammed full! And my mom would take him lunch twice a week to give her extra big meals. They don't get very long for lunch and she would come home laughing about how the other kids talk and carry on and he just eats, eats, eats! It tapered off after a month or so. But in that time he also grew like a weed! I think they call it catch up growth. It's awesome to experience because you know they finally feel good and are finally getting the nutrition their little bodies so need!

Good luck with the lifestyle. Keep it creative, keep it fun, keep it positive and you'll all be great!!

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free.

      How many people also get sick from the following prolamins?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary...
