Despite Negative Results....

My daughter is 3 1/2. She's diagnosed with JDM and tested negative for celiac. She's been on gluten free diet since Feb. 1st. and I am glad I did.

A major concern that I had about possible gluten allergy were her b.m.'s. Loose, watery, foul etc. She's had her first very nearly normal one yesterday. Now I have the impression that the food she eats is starting to be absorbed.

The best indication of all?:

She's been drawing faces for a while. And they looked grim.

Last night for the first time, a face she drew has a smile.

D**** the results. NO MORE GLUTEN!

Hi!

Congratulations on getting your daughter feel better! I am also on a gluten-free diet I started a few months ago. I've been feeling better but all tests came back negative, including biopsy. unfortunately I stopped eating gluten a few months before starting testing ( I didn't know I needed to be eating gluten to get tested). Two night ago I went to an oriental restaurant and I eat rice and some beef. they put soy sauce on it and I guess it had gluten in it.. I felt very sick for 3 days, cramps, bloating, felt very very sleepy, etc. Anyway, be careful when you take her out for dinner. Also, forget if the tests came back negative, it won't harm her to be on a gluten-free diet... but if she was my daughter I would consult a nutritionist just to make sure she is eating a well balanced diet every day and getting all the nutrients she needs. I am working with a nutritionist right now to work on some severe deficiencies I have and to help me in the bone building process (osteoporosis @ age 28 due to severe folate, b vitamins and calcium deficiencies). I would hate for your baby to be one of the kids not growing up the way she is supposed to just because she is not getting what her body needs :( There is a test that is called Functional intracellular analysis (FIA).It is a blood test and they go inside the cells to see what she really is absorbing and not what is "floating" in the blood and being eliminated.

For example, my folate and calcium blood levels were great, and I have osteoporosis CAUSED by deficiencies on these. When the FIA came back, I was basically starving :(

Good luck with your little angel

sorry if the message is a little bit confusing but English is my second language and I was also trying to tell you all I could! hehe

And by the way, for your little princess...today I tried Pamela's gluten and dairy free chocolate chip cookies and they are AWESOME!!! even better that some commercial brands. Fruity Pebbles do not contain gluten and I have been eating them with no effects ;)

Good for you! We did the same thing, with similar results. It's great when we can find out what's been bothering them!

congrats!

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
