Painful Bm's In 1 Yr Old

Painful bm's, constipation or lots of crankiness are signs that my daughter has had gluten. She has been having terrible painful bm's every day for about a week now. I can't figure out what is wrong! I stopped all dairy thinking that was it but it hasn't helped. I evaluated my diet and cut out all gluten because she is still nursing and that hasn't helped. She drank a TON of apple juice yesterday and that didn't help either. I have been feeding her liquidy foods and lots of grapes, raisins and apples and that hasn't helped. I can't figure out what else to do. I know she probably got gluten this past friday at MIL's house because they wiped her down with a cloth that they just wiped up pizza crumbs with after lunch. But she was having problems before that too. She was at MILs house last week on Tuesday all day because I worked with my husband that day. She may have gotten gluten then too. I really don't know how long symptoms are supposed to last. It didn't seem like they lasted this long before. Urg. I am rambling, just frustrated because I want to make sure she is healthy and not in pain.

Do you use gluten-free soap and shampoo in the tub? Babies always get water in their mouth and swallow it in the tub. That was issue for us.

Do you water down her apple juice? Too much apple juice might not be good.

No cheese...right?! Do you keep a food diary?

The autoimmune reaction in the gut can sustain itself for up to two weeks. So, seeing symptoms for a few days, then her getting glutened again and seeing more days of symptoms, is not all that unusual. She is, though, if she's getting gluten that often, NOT (for medical purposes) on a gluten free diet and is at risk of all the things that come along with being non-compliant to the diet. She needs a safer environment. (I know, this may be WAY harder done than said if you're dealing with family.)

no cheese, and I water down her apple juice by half but she hasn't been interested in any drinks from a sippy lately so I gave her 6 oz full strength apple juice yesterday to see if it would get things moving and if she would drink it. She did drink it but it did nothing to make her go easier. I use method baby on her right now, but was using johnsons lavender baby shampoo before this week. I don't use lotion on her at the moment because the ones I have are aveeno with oatmeal.

Are your raisins gluten free? I've heard that some raisins use wheat flour to keep them from sticking together. Just a thought. You would think that things like prunes and raisins would make a little one go but they did the oppisite with my girls, they could eat a whole bag of prunes and nothing would happen. Hope you get it figured out soon!

If they were dusted with wheat flour it would have to be declared on the package. However they still could have cc from production.

In case it helps? These are some of the weird/unexpected places we've gotten gluten from.

-chapstick and makeup

-inhaling - and so ingesting - powder from things like drywall and pressed wood (you can check the Material safety data sheet for a product to find out if it's a problem - typically if something is glued on or if it's sticky, it can be a problem))

- plain nuts (often grown, transported, and/or processed with wheat)

- plain dried fruit (processing CC risk)

- any gluten free whole grain or flour (a recent study found that many of these were contaminated with more than 20ppm of gluten because of shared equipment, at any time from field to package),

- oils (We had one bottle of an oil just fine, but the next one we bought had CC. Turned out it was processed on the same line as wheat germ oil. :( )

- soy/legumes (same issue as nuts. Soy is the worst offender, typically)

- anything you are using on your body (since she's breastfeeding, any soap, shampoo, lotion and so on that might get on your skin, or not be washed off completely, she can ingest, yeah?)

- cc of spices

- And one last one we didn't think of for a long time: just eating a lot of processed gluten-free food. Since it's all really low gluten rather than 'zero' gluten, if your little one is consuming a lot recently, like gluten-free crackers or gluten-free bread or gluten-free pasta, she might be getting more than 20ppm a day. Or she could react to less than that, in which case it's even easier to get too much accidentally.

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...

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

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?

      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.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
