Disaccharide Intolerance?

I'm new here. I have two young sons with celiac disease. My 5 year old was very sick and still has lots of problems bloating & other sensitivities. I worry about him so much. Is there anyone out there who knows about carbohydrate or disaccharide intolerance with celiac disease? Preston (my son) has been gluten-free for approx. 8 months now. I never feed him sugar or milk products and very little gluten-free grains, such as rice and corn--they all seem to give him trouble. He also has food allergies to tree nuts, possibly soy, probably eggs. I'm so confused sometimes. It seems like the options for his diet just keep getting smaller. I feed him fruits, vegetables and meat. Sometimes lentils, split peas. I don't know what to do. Is this normal? Will his intestine heal? Even with beverages, he drinks mostly only water. Occasionally I give him a little juice or rice milk--but only rarely, just because he's so bored with water. I 'm sorry my post isn't organized better, but I'm just so concerned. He's bloated almost every evening and occasionally goes through what he calls "squirts" with diarrhea and it's mind-boggling to know why. I'm so careful with his diet. We keep a log. It just doesnt make sense. Thanks for reading. I'd appreciate any comments. Thanks again.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My cupboard now holds gluten-free baking flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, gluten-free oats, gluten-free grits, gluten-free cornmeal, and a few gluten-free baking mixes for occasional use. On the odd occasion when we have pasta, it is gluten-free - nobody notices the difference in the "new" lasagna. I have found several good recipes that are gluten-free and everyone loves them. A family favorite is the Tarta de Santiago, a naturally gluten-free treat made with almond flour.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      How many people also get sick from the following prolamins?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
