Newly Doagnosed And Have A Question

Hello everyone.....

I am brand new to this and I am hoping that there is someone out there that can help answer a question for me. My son is 13 years old and newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease. The gluten free diet was amazing. His symptoms disappeared after just 6 days being gluten free. He has NEVER been a "burper". His entire life I think I can count on one hand the number of times I have ever heard him burp out loud for someone else to hear. Since starting the gluten free diet his symptoms have disappeared as far as the joint pain and such but now he burps after every meal. It just comes rolling out of him and he doesn't even feel it coming ! Has anyone else experienced anything like this ? They say he has most likely had celiac disease his entire life but sadly enough it took all of this time to just figure it out. Just wondering if anyone has any input ?

Thanks :)

Is he still eating dairy? Some of us are dairy intolerant for the first while, until we heal up. Might be causing the issue?

I'm sure there are many more possibilities that others here can suggest. :) My daughter was 11 when she was diagnosed, but we skipped the burping. Does it hurt him at all? Acidic or anything like that? Have they tested him for H. Pylori bacteria in the gut? That might be an issue too, actually, come to think of it. Very common with Celiacs, too.

I had that For a long time actually. In fact, I was so gassy in my stomach at times food wouldn't stay down but came right back up after just a minute. Your son has a new diet, and his system has bacteria that feed off certain nutrients and have to balance out. After a while if he is strictly gluten free he should get better. But it has to be a very strict gluten-free, no cheating, no cross contamination etc. There are many other foods that can also cause problems for us though, including soy, dairy, corn etc etc etc. It might help to limit sugary drinks etc for a while, and to try a dairy free probiotic once in a while. Eating fewer meals with more proteins and veggies than carbs may help too.

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
