My 6 Yr Old Girl Passes Gas Frequently

Hi All,

Just a little bit background...My 6 yr old daughter is a celiac (diagnosed feb 2011). Her antibodies levels were very high and didn't come down at her 8 month blood tests. As many others, we have also done our part of mistakes and with the help of this forum and posts here, i have eliminated all gluten from her diet, even traces are not there now...i can be sure about it. So, i am sure she is completely healing now and we have better results next month. Otherwise, she has improved wonderfully in terms of her iron levels, height and weight and got a good appetite as well and motions stable.

Since a month or two, she has been passing a lot of gas (mostly during late evenings), her motions are normal. Other than gluten, i have not excluded any other items from her diet. Her gas also doesn't bother in any form...just that its there. Now, My question is what is the view of wonderful experienced people here on the forum and is this something i should worry about? Has anyone else had a similar experience and is this part of healing process?

Thanks for all your guidance...

Nannu

My guess is that she's possibly sensitive to casein, soy, and/or oats. You might consider eliminating all of these items and then adding them back in one by one. Also, some celiacs are sensitive to nightshades. Personally, I'm fine with them, but I thought I would mention it in case your daughter might be someone who is also sensitive to them. I, as well as many other celiacs, am sensitive to both oats and soy, and my main symptom is gas.

Hi Rosetapper23,

Thanks a lot for your advice. She doesn't have soy or oats as part of her diet. Casein - i personally don't want to eliminate it because of her growing nutritional needs and she doesn't trouble consuming milk/curd. i give her pediasure as well. So, what i want to ask, if she is not so bothered with gas (i don't mean acidity but passing gas), should i be considering removing casein? Does casein slow down her healing process or works against it?

Thanks once again.

After 2 yrs gluten-free my DD also has LOTS of gas. All her regular tests incl cholesterol are fine . I believe she is lactose sensitive so I give her Lactaid to prevent Diar.. but the gas is still there. I wonder the same thing .

She definitley does not too much fiber as its a struggle with the veggies I actually have to use gummy fiber supplements and she has normal BM's.

any recent antibiotic use?

Thanks everyone. There has been no recent antibiotic use, but too much fiber is definitely there and also most of the eating happens only in the second half of the day after 3:00 pm as she is away for school for almost 8 hours. Also, she is a thal minor so to keep her hb strong, i have to keep pushing lots of fruits and vegetables including eggs, chicken and liver (once a week)...My question is should i worry about it?

I don't know that I would worry about it. Bell peppers (raw, especially) give me gas. But I have no reason to suspect a problem. Some foods are prone to causing gas, without any trouble. What is YOUR gut feel?

You are very right, some foods do cause gas and my gut feeling is the same. I too feel its nothing else that could be wrong going on. For the goodness of certain foods, we do need to give them even if they are causing gas....

      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

      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.
