Is it harder for them to fight the illness? Dd has a kidney infection & is in the hosp. It almost seems as if it's harder for her to fight it right now. Could this be b/c of Celiac? She's had 3 rounds of IV antibiotics & is not recovering as fast as we thought she would :(

Before my son was diagnosed it seemed like every cold last 4 weeks instead of two and turned into ear infections, strep and scarlet fever, or lung issues. He lived on nebs from 1 yr to 2 yr every time he got a cold. It seemed like every time he got sick - he got real sick and was on meds. After going gluten free, his colds seen to last no longer than my daughters and we rarely have to use the neb.

My son doesn't have a true diagnosis yet but part of his blood work is positive. He is always sick with colds and ear infections. He has had bronchitis several times. He never seems to fully get over things. He has been on about 20 antibiotics in 3 years, has been on breathing treatments. I have figured it is because of Celiac's Disease because they don't absorb the mediciations like normal due to this disease.

I hope your daughter feels better fast.

I have not encountered this with my son, but I just wanted to say that I hope your daughter is better soon!

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
