Welcome to the forum! As overwhelming as a Celiac diagnosis is....I know I couldn't have made it through the first year without the support and knowledge of the posters here. Just take it a step at a time and before you know it...this will all be second nature to you.

As far as yeast goes....most baking yeast is gluten-free (like the Red Star brand). Nutritional yeast is also usually okay. Where things get tricky is with brewer's yeast. THAT may not be gluten-free. But as that's a supplement...you shouldn't have to worry much on that score.

Keep in mind that people with Celiac often have multiple sensitivities occurring. Yeast (baking) happens to be a common one. If your son should be sensitive, it isn't because of gluten, but because he has a separate sensitivity. It's something to watch for as it's important to recognize a gluten reaction vs. a reaction from another sensitivity.

Keep a food journal. Your son may have other food sensitivities and it could help pinpoint any gluten mistakes in products.

Detail the food intake & time

Do a mood check, any symptoms

next keep track of BM or vomitting

Now you need to keep a gluten fre snack and treat bag. You are going to realize how much kids are rewarded with treats. i.e. a sucker at the bank or a cookie sample at the store. Make sure your child feels like he's not being punished for having Celiac, because there are plenty of good gluten free foods to eat.

I don't suggest running out and buying all gluten free specialty food replacements like pizza at first because it does take some time for taste to adjust. Check out some of the past posts for some favorite gluten free products or you could waste your money on some pretty yucky stuff.

This site can get you through the early learning days.

Since it is summer, that means it smores at the campfire time, use to gluten-free chocolate chip cookies in place of the graham crackers. I still haven't found a reasonable taste and price replacement for graham crackers.

I reacted to the Lawry's seasoning salt a couple nights ago. Had to feed the rest of the chicken breast to the dogs :angry: Made the dogs happy though!

I tried it tonight. And it didn't go over well.

Charlotte is 16mths now - 18lb. Failure to thrive, horrendous diarrhoea and low iron. She can be rather irritable but it`s very hard to know with such a young child if there is pain and where it is.

I just don`t know. Maybe I`m barking up the wrong tree completely!!?? Been gluten free for 3 days now but not sure how soon we`ll notice any change (if any)

My daughter was diagnosed when she was 17 months old. She is 6 now.

Symptoms sound the same. Just remember that little tummy is damaged pretty bad and try and keep to a gentle on the tummy diet foods. I remember one thing that was suggested was avacados. She wouldn't eat them, still won't eat 'em.

This is HUGE advice. Get your gluten free snacks and treats and keep them on hand at all times.

Lex was very irritable and screamed in pain all the time. Her symptoms are the same as Lex. We noticed a change about 4 days

Yeah - it`s the treats and snacks that she`s looking for. I`ll have to stock up cos my other 2 daughters are getting treats and Charlotte`s are so limited. Thanks

Why Lowry's. We have been using it! I do not see anything in the ingrediants. Am I missing someting. My son is having lots of pain. We are so new to this. I hate that I may be causing him to hurt worse.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia and @Russ H thank you both for your helpful advice and information. I haven't seen a GI in years. They never helped me aside from my inital diagnosis. All other help has come from my own research, which is why I came here. I will be even more careful in the future.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, you are welcome. After looking at this thread again, I would like to suggest that some of the other comments from @Russ H are worth following up on. The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      @Russ H, I partly agree and partly disagree with you. After looking at it again, I would say that the slick graphic I posted overestimates the risk. Your math is solid, although I find estimates of gluten in white bread at 10-12% rather than the 8% you use. Somewhat contradicting what I wrote before, I agree with you that it would be difficult to ingest ...

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside!

The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down your experiences and questions in outline form and bring this to your Dr. I suggest writing it down so you don't get distracted from telling the Dr everything you want to say while you have their attention.

Your math is solid, although I find estimates of gluten in white bread at 10-12% rather than the 8% you use. Somewhat contradicting what I wrote before, I agree with you that it would be difficult to ingest 10 mg from flinging bread.  However, I would still suggest that @nancydrewandtheceliacclue take precautions against exposure in this activity. I'm not an expert, I could easily be wrong, but if someone is experiencing symptoms and has a known exposure route, it's possible that they are susceptible to less than 10 mg / day, or it is possible that there is/are other undetected sources of exposure that together with this one are causing problems. At any rate, I would want to eliminate any exposure until symptoms are under control before I started testing the safety of potentially risky activities. Here is another representation of what 10 mg of bread would look like. https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/10mgGlutenCrumbsJules.jpg Full article that image came from: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/what-does-10-mg-of-gluten-look-like/

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

      Skin issues

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Thankyou I did find out the Infectious disease is the route to go rather than dermatologist. I did reach out to two major hospitals and currently waiting on approval for one of them in Infectious Diseases to call me. I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.
