A lot of fruit (bananas, apples, oranges, pineapples, blueberries)

1 tea

1 coffee

1 peperami <_<

1 tin of Heinz cream of tomato soup

My evening meal consisted of...

Thanks for your help.

Many peperamis have wheat in them. Perhaps that was it?

Oh, and welcome to our forum! :)

My daughter swears that the McCain's products make her sick.

On the Actimel website is says it's gluten free so it can't be that.

As for the chips and peperami, neither say they contain it but neither say they don't. Couldn't find anything on their websites. :(

I have seen on another forum that people have had some trouble with coffee, does anyone else drink it?

Thanks for your help.

I was under the impression that only plain, and vanilla Dannon yogurts were gluten free. Dannon has been well known for it's gluten content.

What about the tomato soup?? Creamed soups often times have flour in them.

Dannon Yogurt! Dannon, themselves, say that only the plain yogurt is guaranteed by them to be gluten-free. I have had many reactions to Dannon yogurts when the ingredients list looked ok. They must have a cross-contamination problem in their packaging facility.

(with their "granola" yogurts) and their "thickeners".

Also did you mean "pepperoni" - if so, many DO have wheat. I don't eat pepperoni unless I can read the package ingredients.

Also I looked up Heinz soup on their website and could only find Cream of Tomato on the UK Global site! Supposedly it is only available in the UK? (Can't believe that, I SWEAR I've seen it here, but maybe only when I was in UK).

Anyway, the ingredients list IN THE UK is gluten-free - contains "Cornflour" as the thickener.

But if it was in the USA, then I would bet it has wheat flour in it.

So it had to be the Perperami (whatever that is?), or the Dannon - I would bet Dannon!

If in USA I would be it could be all of them.

It's Danone yogurt drink not Dannon, the logo looks very similar as well :huh:

Click on "Your questions answered" Scroll down to where it says "Is Actimel gluten free?". It says

"All Actimel products sold in the UK are gluten free and therefore suitable for coeliacs."

I am in the UK so the soup and yogurt drink should be ok.

The peperami is the dodgy one, don't think i'll eat another one.

Thanks for all the help.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
