I've seen several posts where kids are getting EO 28 and I was wondering if someone could please tell me what it is and what it does for Celiac kids? Thx!

My son is on EO28 Splash. It is for children who have issues getting vits the normal way. The box says its for kids ages 1-10 who have GI impairment, EE, reflux, short bowel syndrome and other medical conditons for which an amino acid based diet is required. Its hypoallergenic and gluten and casien free. My sons dietation recommended it because my son is still having a hard time getting the calories and vits needed to grow. He is only taking in around 900 calories and he needs atleast 1200. Its a formula that is flavored and broken down for easy digestion, so that the small intestine does not have to work so hard to digest it. If you google EO28 Splash you will come up with the main website that explains more about its products. It has worked wonders in 10 days for my son. He finally began to get his 2 yr molar. I was beginning to think he did not have them. He has more energy and is not eating like he is starving anymore - he is eating more like a normal kid - 3 main meals and 2 or three snacks. Before, he ate all the time - about 1 lb of pasta a day. By the way, it is very expensive.

Thank you Bear for the response. I will google it and check it out. My 5 yo eats tons of fresh veggies/fruits/meat but what good is it if he is not getting it absorbed? And he has not seen any weight/height change since being gluten free in Jan.

My son grew after going gluten free - 5" but he only gained one pound. In all reality he lost weight. He is not on the growth chart. He also has EE and refuses to eat meat. We just had blood work done and his liver enzymes are through the room still and the ultrasound showed his liver at 13 cm (the size of an adults). He has also become hypoglycemic. They are doing a liver biopsy next friday to see what is goin on. They are trying to diagnose him with another disease cause glycogen storage disease. If he is diagnosed with it he can not have any type of table sugar, fruit or any dairy products. I think his symptoms are from malnutrition. His belly has gotten much smaller and his blood sugar levels after 5 hours are now in the normal range. My son eats a lot of pasta and corn, but no fruits (bananas only) and no other veggies. The stuff tastes really bad, so I mix it with crystal light. If you do order it make sure a dietition tells you how much to give him - it goes by body weight. Also, I noticed that dairy gives my son some of the same symptoms as celiacs so we have really limited that. Hope this helps you!

I hope and pray you get some good news on your kiddo. Thanks again for the info, it does help. My son has his 3 month gluten free repeat bloodwork in two weeks, if we have any problems we are heading to a dietician as I have the opposite problem....this boy loves his good food (he is the ONLY one of my three and while I hate his diagnosis he sure makes it easy)!

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
