How Long Before...


klococo

Recommended Posts

Our daughter has been gluten free (except for a few mistakes) for almost two weeks. How long before her tummy starts going down? I have seen some improvement, just wondering how long till it gets normal looking? Also, she has been on a stool softener. How long will I need to keep her on that before she will be regular again? I know each child will be somewhat different, just wanted to get some ideas of how long it took for your child?

Thanks for your help!

Our son's belly was huge. People always commented on his "pregnant belly". Within 3 weeks of going gluten-free we definitely noticed a difference (althought others didn't) but by 6 weeks it was almost completely gone and obvious to everyone.

i am very new to celiacs,my one year old is being tested and i am awaiting results,but seeing that your son had a pregnant belly it dawned on me to check out one of my 3 year old twins,we can not go anywhere without someone commenting on her belly,she also suffered exema and we switched her to lactose free everytning when she was a year and she improved and has been fine since except for the belly,her weight is very good 34lbs but she is in only the 25% for height could she has celiacs without stomach pains? if my son comes back pos i will get her tested or should i remove gluten now? my son is 2 days of and already sleeping a lot better. help?

Why not just take both kids off gluten and see what happens?

      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!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
