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!

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
