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...

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,

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
