How Do You Keep A Teething Baby Gf?

Our Toddler (23 months old) is getting his "2 year molars" and sticks EVERYTHING in his mouth. Stuff like bird seed he finds on he ground in the nieghbors yard, rocks from the street, etc. In fact the only way to get him to not put it in his mouth is to put it on a plate and call it dinner. :lol:

He got gluten some how over the weekend and we are just coming out of it now... but what the heck to blame? We have decided to blame the cup of milk that he umm borrowed from the nieghbor's kid. We decided it must have had crums in it it... but realy, we have no idea where it could have come from. :(

He does not understand verbal commincations yet, sees a langauge tutor once a week, so theres no way to telll him about celiac disease (though we try!).

You could try asking his tutor to help you help him understand. However, I don't think that at that age (mine is 26 mo) they can really understand much more than "Bread and pasta give me tummy ache" Even if he does understand that doesn't mean it will stop him from consuming those things. Guess it's like damned if you do and if you don't - until he gets a little older, you'll have to be on him like a hawk. I've been keeping an ice cube try out with safe snacks for my daughter (not special gluten-free products, just like fruits, veggies, etc)

Hi, I know this has to be frustrating. Not being able to communicate with your child is very difficult. I know at times I feel like I'm always saying NO. My daughter is 3 and after about 9 months or so I think she's starting to relate the physcial aspects of eating foods that make her sick. As your son gets older he might start understanding your explaination before he can even verbalize it. I know that it's not much help now but......

I used to have a recipe for gluten-free teething biscuts that use rice cereal, pureed fruit, oil & ice water. I'll try to see if I can find it if you'd like. I just carried those with us all the time so my daughter could chew! I'm sure she ate lots of other things also. :lol:

Take care!

I know when my boys were teething, they loved sucking on a face cloth that was soaked with water. rolled/twisted up then frozen in the freezer. They carried those things around everywhere chomping down on them...... Maybe this will keep unsafe stuff out of his mouth.....

Good Luck!

Karen

I talked to a couple of my mommy friends and here's the best we've got.....

MOTRIN! MOTRIN! MOTRIN! (Is that even gluten-free?) If you don't want to drug him... (hahaha).....

When my daughter was a baby and teething we used gluten-free bread. I got the kind that's sweetened with Juice and cut it into strips. Bake it real low, like 200F for a couple of hours till it's dry and crispy. She still likes those, and a good treat to dip in yogurt!

The frozen wash cloth is a good idea, I've done that. What about a baby teether- those kind with water in them? Or a Popsicle (I use sugar free ones, but I'm not sure if they'd be gluten-free.)

Yea he gets Motrin... and that hanldes the PAIN, but does does not seem to effect the need to chew as much. Does seem to cut it back some.

Those teethers dont work as well now because the teeth in question are in the WAAAAAAAAAAY back, they are the very last molars, cant realy gett a teeth back there with out choking, he does try though.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
