Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and very confused and frustrated and will really appreciate some help

My 19 month old daughter has had eczema pretty much since she was born, we've used steroid creams which I hate, natural medicine, you name it we've done it. Today we went to see a Homeopath doctor and he put her in a gluten, dairy and sugar free diet for 2 weeks and see how it goes.

The thing is I have no idea what to give her, and I have to send her to her nursery school with snacks and she is very picky, I would like to send her with something similar to the other kids eat so she doesn't feel bad uuugh, I don't know what to do.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

There's lots of great advice here, and you'll get it.

Since you said she's picky, it might be easier to help you subsitute if you could give us some ideas of what she normally eats and what she likes. Then the ideas can really fly!! :)

My son had eczema for years and we did a gluten-free trial and it disappeared and his skin was so nice. When we introduced gluten back, it came back. He had a neg, celiac disease panel bloodwork so we are testing through enterolab over the coming Xmas break. He was off gluten completely for about 6 weeks. It took that long for his sores to heal and everything to clear up and then for us to see that he wasn't getting any more irritation resulting in sores. So I would recommend that you go more than two weeks. I would also eliminate dairy and gluten separately so that you know which one is causing the eczema.

Be careful that wheat free is not the same as gluten-free and wheat free products may still contain gluten.

Namaste make mixes that are often gluten and dairy free and some have no sugar. I recently made mini blueberry muffins for my son, with a mix, and added banana puree instead of the sugar.

Glutino makes a cracker(the plain flavor) and pretzels that are dairy-free, if peanut butter is allowed where she goes, then you could get a natural, no-sugar P.B. like Smuckers Natural brand

Gerber makes packets of freeze dried fruit bits that even I like as a snack, I don't remember if they add sugar

You can make gelatin with Knox unflavored gelatin and no sugar added, 100% fruit juice.

      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!

      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/
