A Lot Of People Have Adhd


Dixiebell

Recommended Posts

Dixiebell Contributor

My son and I were invited to a friends house last night so our children could play and the adults could chat. They are always very receptive when I talk about being gluten-free. Something I realised while we were there is that out of four adult women and seven children (boys and girls), all around the same age, that four maybe five have ADHD. I believe they are on medication for it. One of the women has severe anxiety. I was talking with her about it because I could see the way I was not too long ago. This same woman has anxiety in her kitchen, so she really does't cook, her mother loves to cook and has them over for dinner a lot. She also has anxiety just thinking about going to the store. I felt so bad for her, quietly of course. When we were talking about ADHD and gluten-free she piped up and said does that help. I said I had heard it can, why not try it. I told her about my relief from anxiety so maybe she will look into it. Oh and guess what everyone was eating, PIZZA. It just makes me cringe.

One of the women was excited when she realised that her chili was gluten free. :)

I do believe we are put into situations and meet certain people for reasons. Maybe we don't know why to start with.

My son has ADD and at the time I was called a "day dreamer". I have suffered from bad anxiety attacks and I am hoping that they are getting better after 9 months gluten free.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
