Projectile Vomiting When Fed Bread. =(

My 12 month old I suspect has gluten intolerance. She has had severe ongoing cycles of painful constipation followed by diarrhea. She cries and fusses constantly when eating gluten and gets up 8-11 times a night. I first started noticing it right after starting her on solids (oatmeal was one of her first foods). So after eliminating all solids and adding them back slowly I narrowed it down to gluten. I put her on a gluten free diet and after a few days she got better and a couple weeks later was sleeping much better at night and pooping every day normally. I put her back on gluten (I gave her 1 cracker) and it messed her up for 3 days. She has been gluten free since then unless I mess up and contaminate her food or feed her something I thought was gluten free but wasn't. Well I decided to get her tested for celiac because she has a doc appointment coming up and my husband doesn't believe me that she has problems. So Last night I let her have some french fries that were coated in flour and at snack time today I gave her half a piece of bread. Last night nothing much happened except she got a rash on her jaw and she slept horribly. After I fed her the bread she seemed to be ok but then 20 minutes later she projectile vomited all over the place. It just kept coming and coming. So now I am not sure I can feed her gluten every day for a couple of weeks so she can be tested accurately. I just don't want to make her sick. How do you test if it makes them so sick?? I am going to discuss this with the doc and see what he thinks we should do but seriously I don't think I can continue to feed her gluten. I want to know if she has celiac but I don't want to torturer her. =(

I am really surprised by the vomiting. Before it took about 3 days for gluten to affect her terribly, before that it was just her mood and wakefulness at night that was a clue something wasn't right. Did I cause her damage by putting her on a gluten free diet?? Is she now MORE sensitive to gluten because she was off of it and then I gave it to her?

I don't think it would be considered damage but it could cause a false negative on the blood tests.

Yes, she probably is more sensitive now because she was starting to heal and now her little body is being bombarded with gluten again.

Maybe you could call your Dr. and tell them that she is really sick and can they get her in quicker. I know at our Dr. we can call and get a sick child appt the same day. My sons Dr. sent us to our childrens hospital to for the blood tests and an x-ray.

She seems much better now. She took a really long nap and has been really snugly but no more vomiting. I know they can do a test to check for the genes involved to see if she is likely to have it but the blood test to check for antibodies requires you to be on gluten for a few weeks right? I just don't think I can keep her on gluten that long. It would be terrible for her to be sick every day just to do a blood test.

well its the next day after the projectile vomiting after eating bread. This morning I woke up to the most horrific smelling diaper. My daughters poop was not normal at all. It was very pale, whitish yellow and smelled across the house. It was very light, only a shade or two darker than the white of the diaper and kind of clay like. That's not normal at all is it? She has a rash all over her face this morning. Little raised dots that itch. She had that last night too but there are more now. She is also very snugly and I can tell she doesn't feel great. No more gluten for her. I feel so bad =(

my daughter is 18 mos and was diagnoses at 14 mos solely on a blood test. she was projectile vomiting every other day, miserable, distended abdomen and diarrhea started around time of diagnosis. I was told to put her back on gluten for 3-4 weeks for the biopsy but I refused, it took at least a week for the vomiting to stop once gluten free and 2 mos for normal stools. I just couldn't put her through it again. If she's feeling better without gluten then I'd say keep her gluten free.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
