My son was just diagnosed with eosinophilgastro gastritis. He was allergy tested and was positive for wheat, corn, milk, tree nuts, tomatoes and oranges. His GI doc wants him to be gluten free and feels this will help him.

A couple of questions:

How long does it take to become "clean" of toxins?

How do you handle the vomiting? He is vomiting many times a day. How long to let his stomach relax? And what to try eating first?

Thank you for your feedback! :)

Hi Elburn,

Not really sure where I got this list, but I've kept a copy in my files for future reference. It is one of the best "lists" I've found yet. Hope this helps!

what a great list. If he needs to stay gluten free, but he is also allergic to corn, should we eliminate the items on this list that have corn?

Of course you should eliminate all corn products. My suggestion is to do a little research on corn intolerances, read the labels and get rid of those "corn based" items. This is a basic Celiac List that I have used in the past. I don't have any other "poison foods" that I am aware of, so this list works for me. Print yourself a copy and scratch off all items that are corn based.

Another good site is posted below. You may want to check this link out also. When I was first diagnosed, I printed a copy of this list and took it everywhere with me. They have several good suggestions on this list also. Copy and paste this site in your address box. (This list is somewhat long to print)

How long to get rid of toxins? I have no idea. What to try eating first? I'd guess some gentle, plain, white rice. Maybe cook it with "too much" water and add a few vegetables to make it a rice soup. That might settle a tummy. Maybe saute some vegetables. Maybe make your own french fries if he just needs something that tastes good - but the oil might be too rich if he's that sensitive still. Many times celiacs need time to heal before we can handle eggs, dairy, or soy, so I'd probably want to avoid those things for a while, too. I keep coming back to rice and bananas when I'm having trouble. And fresh or canned vegetables, and fruits - but canned fruits do better because the fibers, etc., have been broken down a bit in the process and they simply taste more "gentle". It took me a while before I could handle any fresh fruits and I still have to be careful. I'd suggest rice, bananas, vegetables, canned fruit. These suggestions are just from my own very rough experiences... there is no medical background in this at all. Good luck to you!

I'm going to bet that if you eliminate his allergens, his vomitting will show a marked improvement. Start off with very simple whole foods that you prepare yourself, meat, vegetables, fruits, rice and beans. Of course nothing he tested postive to. Clean out your spice cabinet, throwing out anything that contains gluten and his other allergens and any spice you might have double dipped a contaminated spoon into. Then just prepare those whole foods with safe seasonings. When you've mastered that and his health is improving, then add other foods you feel are safe one at a time only every few days. That way if something new bothers him you'll know it right away. It wouldn't hurt to keep a food diary also. This can help with multiple food sensitivities and narrowing down his problem foods.

Good luck. It sounds like your dr is on top of it. That is great!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
