Tolerating Child's Cranky/whiny/irritable Behavior?


divamomma

Recommended Posts

We are still waiting for a scope and biopsy. Longest 2 weeks ever and I am sure we have more to wait. My 4 year old is constatly whiny, irritable, ugging her sister etc. I am sure most of it is due to not feeling well. Any advice on how to tolerate this? I know I should have more patience but this behavior is awful. It is also hard to tell my older daughter to ignore her sisters behavior or excuse it. I am also stressed and worried about my daughter and perhaps loosing my cool faster than I should. Any advice?? I so badly wish we could move forward with a gluten free diet.

That's tough! I recommend a time out, for Mom.

Can you and Dad take turns with cranky one? Maybe there is a grandma or friend that could give you a break?

I would try to keep the kids apart with separate activities and areas of the house if possible.

Hang in there!

I have this issue. My daughter is actually now gluten free, dairy free and corn free. Corn especially just makes her CRAZY. I always feel bad when my husband harshly disciplines her during these crazy episodes because I personally know how food can make you feel insane. Not just pain management but really really out of your mind. So I try and make sure she keeps calm and holds it together when we have "accidents" because when she is eating properly her behavior really is lovely. I hope your daughter is able to go on her diet quickly and you see some positive changes.

We had that problem with my son. My husband wanted to punish him severely, but nothing much worked until we got him off gluten. I really didn't think that he could help it. Now it only happens when he gets gluten by accident. It drives me crazy then, but at least I know that it will go away soon. Hang on to that thought.

Hang in there! I agree with trying to find someone who can spell you, so you can get a break.

I ended up caving in on the whole endo thing. My daughter is having hers on December 29th. However, I did tell the GI that I was not going to keep feeding her gluten between now and then after her last painful episode. She felt that she would still find the damage in two weeks, so she agreed.

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears...

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

      Hi, new member. About me, I had been suffering with weight gain, bloating and irregular and extreme bowel habits for a year or so. For example, I went on holiday in 2023, then again I  2024 at the same time of year and every shirt I wore in 2023 didn't fit anymore, couldn't even do the buttons up. Being in my mid 50s I put it down to age and middle aged spread. I'd been lucky all my life having good metabolism and being able to eat anything and as much as I like without putting on any weight, it drove my other half mad. Over a conversation with a friend health and age Related stuff came up and he mentioned someone he knew who had recently found out they were gluten...

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet
