I Might Have Glutened My Daughter

Hi,

For the last 2 days my daughter has refused to eat hardly anything she will drink her milk and juice but that is it she won't even eat her vitamins that she loves.

To confuse the matter about 8 days ago she swallowed a peice of plastic fork. it was a small piece and the ER said it should pass fine. I have tried to "look" for it sorry TMI and haven't seen anything.

Before we were diagnosed she has gotten really ill (from the celiac) and was refusing to eat - however she said her tummy hurt all the time - now she doesn't say it hurts she just won't eat. Behavior wise pretty ok, maybe more sensitive.

So if I did do it how - I do have gluten stuff in the house but only use it for my son's lunches (school here has been out so that stuff hasn't even been out at all) and some things my husband likes for dinner - only prepared in separate pans after the kids food is all cleared up.

She did have 2 new kinds of yogurt - one states gluten free the other does not but reads ok? - could that be a possibility? The other thing she ate more of than usual was the Tomato soup - The one from Heinz that I thought was gluten free? I really don't know what could have done it, worried that if I don't figure it out I will just keep glutening her...

Can you list the ingredients on the yogurt?

Can you list the ingredients on the yogurt?

Cultured Pasturized Grade A Reduced Fat milk, Vanilla bean base (Sugar, Water, Modified Corn Starch, Natural Flavors, citric acid, vanilla beans) Sugar Modified corn starch kosher gelatin.

so maybe natural flavors -

Dr's dont think it is the fork and they don't think it is gluten issue either. Ped thinks constipation - but I just don't think so she is still barely eating 4 days later.

Ug just when her weight was coming up so nicely since our diagnosis...

Everything looks good there except for the natural flavors. You could call them about that just so you know for future.

At her age, kids really cut back on their eating. It could be one of those spells where she just doesn't have an appetite for a few days. Maybe the milk could be secretly "fortified" with nutrition to get her through these few days.

It's hard to deal with when kids won't eat. You feel you're letting them down in some way. It's OK though. Keep an eye on her as you are and tempt her with any foods that might work. Probably when the C lets up she will recover her appetite.

HI,

Thanks, I think I will call before I give her that kind again.

She had three terrible diapers (won't go into it) and then she started eating again. I guess I'll never know why.

Other than prior to her Celiac diagnosis and when she was little and we discovered a couple of food intolerances she is typically pretty consistant within certain limits.

I guess that is why my brain jumps to foods.

At least she's eating now - thanks again,

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
