The Diet Is Working!

Just thought I would pop in and let everyone know that after months and months (actually a year) of trying to figure out what is going on with our daughter, we have finally figured it out. All of her blood testing was negative, but after my husband was recently diagnosed with celiac disease, we decided to retest our girls. Both were negative, but the doctor suggested we try the gluten free diet anyway....I don't think she believed gluten was the cause, but it's been two months now and she hasn't had any problems with acid reflux OR stomach aches!!!! Also, the girl who couldn't handle dairy has been able to eat dairy! Every. Single. Day! I can't wait to share the news with her pediatrician when we go back in, but I'm now 100% confident that gluten was our problem! Anyway, if testing is negative and you continue to have problems, try the diet!

That's great news! So happy for you all and thanks for letting us know as it gives hope to others whose children might also test negative that yes gluten can still be an issue. Sounds like you have a great doctor.

Fantastic! Every time I hear that someone is feeling better by trying the gluten-free diet (in spite of NEG testing) I am overjoyed that they have found an answer to long-standing health problems.

Your doctor is one of the "enlightened ones".

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By trents · Posted

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By dmallbee · Posted

      I was diagnosed at 18 months old with celiac and lived without wheat, rye, oats, and barley as instructed by my doctor, Dr. Katz at Boston Children's Hospital in the 60's and 70's. I don't agree nor recommend doctors removing oats from restriction, certified gluten-free or not.  I have eaten certified gluten free oats and have had the usual reactions to gluten.  Please reconsider this with newly diagnosed patients.

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA.

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.
