Glutened Or Sick?

dd (6) has not been feeling well. She's lost 2 lbs so she's back under 40 lbs again. She is getting a mottled look on her cheeks, red and white. Her diarrhea has started back up and her impulsiveness is creeping back again. I don't know if she's just got a virus, if she's getting glutened or maybe having another food sensitivity.

If your child (or yourself) starts having symptoms, how long do you wait before contacting the doc and assume it's "just" glutened?

I just double check what they are eating and ask them the symptoms. My 2 1/2 yr old will tell me when his tummy hurts and how. Lots of those viruses are going around, so I would wait a few days and they have her checked.

Thanks for the reply! Turns out, a few days later after this post, my friend was babysitting and fed her Top Ramen. :angry: She's been super sick ever since so I forgot I was worried about her a few days before. It became very obvious to me what happens now when she's glutened (badly glutened anyway). I didn't think I'd ever forget what the gas and D smells like :o

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
