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.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
