Do You Have To Eat Gluten

If I take dd (7) to the dermatologist, does it matter if she goes gluten free before we go? Her celiac panel came back negative but her doc said to go gluten free and see if it helps her rash/bumps. She's got major adhd tendencies and can probably benefit from gluten free anyway. If I take her off gluten, do you think that will make a difference to the skin biopsy around her leisons?

Thanks.

She will need to have active lesions for the doctor to be able to do the biopsy. I would not take her off of gluten until after testing is done.

Thanks! The doc today says it's molluscum and did not perform a biopsy. So far, it seems she is negative to gluten intolerance and celiac. So how come I'm upset about that? I guess I was hoping this was the answer to all her issues and now I feel lost and back to square one. Now I need to decide whether to take her off gluten for a trial anyway since I"m convinced that she does have trouble with it.

Go gluten free and see what happens. Get the book "the gluten connection" by dr. sheri leiberman. The best thing to do is the SCD diet. Google it on this forum and you will find good info on it. ADHD is very much connected to diet, especially gluten.. Lots of negative blood panels occur. ALL MY BLOOD tests have been negative. Do a saliva swab test, go to the University of Chicago Celiac Center website and you will find out how to get it. It is very easy and it doesn't matter if you are actively on gluten or not, it is a genetic marker test. VERY HELPFUL.

hope that helps

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      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.
