Need Help With My Daughter's Sore Throat

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 :)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.
