I posted last week all upset about the white blood cells...Well the nurse called today to tell me his results were GREAT...she said before he went gluten-free it was at 165...Not sure what was but whatever it is they tested...Dont remember the name...Well this time they were at 17...WOW that is alot lower...I asked her b/c she is alot nicer about the white blood cells and she said it could be a sign of infection and he just wants me to keep an eye on him....He does have to go back in a month instead of 3 months b/c of his white blood cells and he wants to recheck and see if the 17 is any lower within a month....

I did talk to his allergiest Wednesday because he has been really congested...He takes a breathing treatment 2 times a day of Pulmocort...Well lately he has been waking up in the morning and coughing and grabbing his head saying I need to lay down it hurts....I wonder if it isnt something with his sinuses....I tell you I got this wheat stuff down and under control now only if they could make him NOT CONGESTED.....Poor child has had something since birth...Finally am making headway with it all...

Yall keep us in your prayers...We are going to Florida next week and I am really nervous b/c of the food.....Scared I am going to run out of something I guess....I think I have my whole freezer going with us...LOL

Have a wonderful week everyone...

I don't come here often so I don't know your whole history, but have you tried taking him off of dairy? My DH was continuously congested and had a runny nose for YEARS until we learned that our older DD is allergic to dairy, the whole house went dairy free and voila! DH's nose stopped running immediately.

Good luck with the traveling, I know how nerve racking it is!

have you tried an allergy test (blood, not skin patch) or an elimination diet? My son is allergic to soy (even in minute amounts) and gets very congested. Last winter we rubbed Vicks vap-o-rub on him every night at bed, until we found the vitamin E in a lip balm he was using (because his lips were dry from so much mouth-breathing) was soy. Btw, my ds is 3 yrs old.

Thank you both for the recommendations about the dairy...We are scheduled to go Wednesday to the allergiest...Jacob keeps grabbing his head and they want to look at his sinues....I am going to mention all of this to them...If I dont get there then I will try the elimination process....THANKS AGAIN...

We just got in from vacation tonight and we overall had a wonderful time. The food situation was harder than I thought...I had a ton of snacks with us that he could have and take to the pool...But hubby and other son Peyton of course wanted to go out for lunch and dinner...so after leaving the first resturant we decided it was better to pull up at the door and let me go in and check the menu out...LOL I know you still have a problem of cross but at least if I know they have a hot dog or grilled chicken or veggies I am sorta OK.....Funniest thing thou is I called Fudpuckers and asked do you have a hot dog...Yeah they do...Okay good...we get in there sit down and older son Peyton says look mom....THEY COOK IN PEANUT OIL....He is allergic to NUTS...he said I thought you called...I said I did but for Jacob...Thanks alot mom is what I got...

For the most part places are really good but I got upset at one...I wont name names :) I asked if they had a grilled chicken breast and the comment was...Yes but I will have to charge you full price...I said FINE if it cost 25.00 I will pay for it that is what he has to have b/c he cant have anything with wheat...I said okay I would like a baked potato instead of fries....well we will have to charge you 1.50 to substitue.....WE finally left but it made me mad...I told the girl...If I have to pay 5.00 for the tater I will...That is what he has to have....I know that most kids menu's dont consist of grilled chicken with side salads....then you get people starring and they say Oh your baby eats so good...LOL I just love it....

Well have a wonderful weekend.....

Hope you get some answers soon.......it seems like it's always something doesn't it? Glad to hear you had a good vacation! We haven't eaten out very much, but the few times we did, we've had pretty good experiences. We ate at Steak and Shake the other day for the first time. On their door, they had an allergy label in big, bold letters. SO, I assumed they'd be pretty savvy about no wheat and such. But, the poor teenage waitress had a hard time grasping the questions we were asking. Turns out the fries were cooked in the same oil as other fried foods, so we were dissapointed. We just ordered a plain hamburger patty for Emmie. The waitress totally surprised us though when she brought our oder. She said the cook didn't read her instructions, and had just removed the bun from the burger, but she was having them cook up another one for us. I was so thankful that this girl took our request seriously, not all teenagers would do that.

Although, I think I'm just going to go back to bringing Em's food if we ever eat out again, and just order her a Sprite. That's all she ever really cares about anyway, getting to splurge on a soda!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
