Neocate Jr. has L-Glutamine in it. I have read that glutamine is ok and then I have read that glutamine is not ok. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My son is 10 months old and allergic to wheat, gluten, beef, dairy, soy, casein, eggs, egg whites...etc.....

Hi Hennessey,

What exactly are you looking for? Are you looking for something for your allergic son to eat? As far as i know, glutamines are not from gluten. Just the name is similar. As to whether or not your son reacts to Neocate, that's a different issue....(is that a formula?)

My best (and most farout yet) suggestion is to get donated breastmilk from a mom who is celiac and avoiding most of these foods herself (she wouldn't have to be celiac, it's just most likely that's where you'll find a mom on that diet). And of course, feed him what you can of table food. (I am assuming you're not breastfeeding....)

Glutamine is not made from gluten it is an amino acid that we need.

It just has a name that may sound like it has gluten. You do need to check the label of the supplement to make sure it has nothing in it that he is allergic to.

We just did a huge post on the safety of L-glutamine. Here's the link if you want to check it out. Open Original Shared Link

I just posted in there stating that it seems to have increased my sensitivity to the foods I'm allergic too (dairy, sesame, eggs). But, I'm not exactly sure what's going on there (pure speculation!).

Your little person looks like he is exhibiting what is known as "leaky gut syndrome" that manifests itself in *multiple* food allergies. L-glutamine is one of the few supplements that can help that.

I wish you the best!! Good luck to your son - food allergies are not fun!

Hi, Thanks for the advice. I knew glutamine was an amino acid, but just confused whether is derived from gluten. I have all these papers to read and one says if you have gluten intolerance to stay away and then the other says it is safe. This is all new to me and very overwhelming. I deeply appreciate your response. Thank you.

Thank you so very much, I will definitely check it out! My son was operated on at 10 days old, he had malrotation (intestines and bowel were twisted) and from what I have been reading it sounds as if this gluten intolerance probably came from that....not sure why he is allergic to all the other stuff, but were dealing with it best we can and all the advice I can get right now is so appreciated. Thank you again!

Thanks. Yes Neocate is a formula. And I am trying to find a formula for him. For the past 8 months he has been on soy and come to find out he is allergic as well. We are on our last try with formulas. The Neocate Junior is so disgusting tasting I doubt anyone on fear factor could drink it. I have now been just adding a small amount and into grape juice which he seems to be able to tolerate, but I was worried about the glutamine. We have one last formula to try on Monday that is flavored and free of glutamine...only thing is it says it has citric acid and that is another question I am trying to have answered whether that is ok. Funny that you mentioned breast milk, because I honestly considered renting a pump and seeing if I could start up again...I did not breast feed....I know crazy idea...but I would do anything to nurish him!

Hennessey,

Actually, you can. And that is exactly how you'd do it. Bet you didn't know that, eh :) Contact me offlist (or here) if you are seriously interested. It takes dedication, yet is possible. Also, a La Leche League Leader should be able to give you info (I say "should" because all the ones I know have this info, but I don't know if ALL of them out there do.) Your ped. will not have this info (99.99% sure of that).

Have you tried Alimentum formula? My son was on it because he was "milk sensitive" and the cross sensitivity with soy is high. It is hypoallergenic and much easier to digest. It is also more expensive, but worth it. It smells really gross, but Nate never minded. Maybe this could help.

He has tried Alimentum, no good. He has tried Nutrimagen, no good. We are trying our last one tomorrow it is Pediatric E028, it is actually in the form of juice boxes. Hopefully that will work. Going back to Children's hospital in Aug for another meeting with dietician, so hopefully they will have other ideas.

Thanks for the tip. I will get in touch with you again if I decide to go that route. Trying another formula Pediatric E028 tomorrow, hopefully that will work. I will get in touch with my OB too, to see what he says about it. Thanks for the help.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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!
