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.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
