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.

      still struggling with cravings

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.
