Ok, so my sons appt. with a ped. GI isn't until the 4th of Oct and is better than the end of Oct as first planned but still, that is 4 weeks away! He got gluten somehow yesterday or maybe the day before and today's poop was green and yellow with blood mixed in and floated. Gaah! I just want this all fixed! I also have tried to contact the nutritionist at this center he's going to and am wanting to know how we should prepare him for it and she hasn't gotten back to me. We called our Ped. 3 days ago and he still hasn't called back either, why can't things just be easier!

Sorry, I needed to vent. I'm so tired of seeing issues with my little boy, knowing he's being further damaged. I just want to be done already.

I feel your frustration!! I have an 18 mos old that has been in and out of Dr's offices all summer. We live hours away from Pedi specialists, it has been exhausting and we still don't have answers.

Are you suspecting that your son has Celiac? Im sure you know that they'll want him to be on the Gluten. Have you tried to get on the cancellation list at the GI. That has worked for me. Doctors offices do not call back when they say they are going to, you have to keep calling. We just waited a week for an office to call us back regarding some blood work. Your best bet, if you have questions is to ask to talk to your Dr's nurse. They usually are willing to answer questions and they will ask the Dr if they don't know the answer. I try to get on a first name basis with them, so they recogize my name when I call. I wish you luck and I hope you get the answers you are looking for.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Normal vitamin D range us from 20 ng/ml to 100 ng/ml.  200 nmol/L is the same as 80ng/ml. Minimum vitamin D is based soley on preventing Rickets and osteomyelitis.  Othe research is considered irrelevant insufficnet proof.   My 25(OH)D level is just over 80 ng/dl.  It took 8 years of 10,000 IU a day to get here because Celiac Disease causes low D.  In 1952 the UK banned all vitamin D supplementation due to a error.  Most of the world followed suit.  In the western world vitamin D deficiency ranges from 40% of the US to 60% in the UK. If you had an office with workspace for 30 to 100 workers, but you were restricted to less than 50 workers, how well would the office run.? A factory worker has 40 ng/ml,  A lifeguard has around 80.  Who's immune system works better? Simultaneously, 1,25(OH)2D3 up- and downregulates more than 1000 genes responsible for cellular proliferation, differentiation, a variety of cellular metabolic activities, antiangiogenesis and apoptosis   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9919777/

      Welcome to the forum, @Mpanknin! Questions like that really have no definite answer. Even if you tested a container of it for gluten content, the test results would only be good for that production batch. Assume it has some degree of CC. A more important question might be, how sensitive are you to minor amounts of gluten exposure?

      blood pressure meds that are gluten free

      By Yvonne Ayers Albers · Posted

      I have Celiac, and I just found out that HCTZ has gluten in it, and also makes you severely constipated versus diarrrhea!!  I need another medicene for blood pressure that is certified gluten free, without the 20 ppm, and doesn't cause constipation, please!!

      Thanks Wheatwacked. My D is normal. I take B12, B6, and a bone health supplement (I'm 67) that has K1, Calcium, Magnesium, and a bunch of other things. But no thiamine. But I will have my doc add it to my next blood draw. Thanks for the info WW!

      Wondering if this is gluten free or not. The only ingredients show garlic. Nothing about where it's processed if there's cross-contamination etc. Anybody know?
