Need Help With My Daughter's Sore Throat


Autumn Rook

Recommended Posts

Autumn Rook Newbie

My daughter tested negative for Celiacs, but I believe she is gluten-intolerant. We've had her on a gluten free diet since last February and for a long time, most of her stomach aches, leg cramps and diarrhea went away. However, over the past two months, the stomach aches have started coming back along with a constant sore throat. I did more research and have found that many people are also casein and soy intolerant, so I'm taking her off of those, but I can't find anything about these sensitivities causing a sore throat. Does anyone have any experience with that? Also, what type of doctor do you recommend seeing for help with diagnosing casein intolerance? Our pediatrician doesn't seem to know a thing about food intolerances. Would a dietician be best or a gastrointestinal specialist?

My daughter has Celiac and Eosinophilic Esophagitus.

Is her voice hoarse? Swollen tonsils? Back of throat covered with cream speckles? Bad breath? Dark cricles under the eyes? GERD symptoms? Constant headache? Along with a stomach ache with "D" and or vomitting?

You should have been to a pediatric gastroenterologist for for Celiac testing. Have you been in for allergy testing? A ped. ENT?

Have you checked to see if she has any reflux? The sore throat could be a burning from the reflux. There are a number of over the counter products that you could check for a couple of weeks to see if it would help.

Good luck :)

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.
