Hi

My 21mnths old has been having symptoms I think are related to wheat/gluten (his dad is very sensitive but hasn't been tested)

So, until we can talk to his Dr more at his 2yr check up, I m trying him on a gluten-free diet and so far so good

I picked up energy for life bread and it is a little tough to work with..very crumbley?

Is there a bread that you can rec?

Also, i picked up a list of gluten-free products from WF and is notes that canola oil is gluten free but not always rec for people on a gluten-free diet?

I always use canola oil on my son's rice pasta...does anyone have any info regarding canola oil?

can I continue to use it..should I avoid it??

Thanks, Kim

You might try Kinnnicknnick (sp) bread or the Whole Foods bread. Both types I like. From my experience gluten-free bread is a bit crumbly but you do get used to it. I think it helps to toast the bread.

I have never heard to not use canola oil, sorry no help there!

Canola oil is gluten-free. I too was told to watch out for it but quickly learned it was not a problem.

Canola oil is one of the two oils that I use, the other being Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I read in the last few months, can't remember where, that some of the regular olive oils can be "watered down" with vegetable oil and rather than wonder, rather than skimp, I just use the extra virgin which I prefer anyway.

My toddler 26 months has been recently diagnosed as well. His father has Celiac and wont follow the diet <_< I know the frustration. The best gluten-free bread Ive found is from Food for Life Brown Rice bread, its pretty dense and doesnt crumble. I use a sandwich maker to heat it and it works well with chicken,turkey sandwiches. My son wont eat any kind of rice pasta. I feel like he lives on GR waffles, cereal and chicken, turkey sandwiches...

Thanks for your response

Can I ask what your ds symptoms were??

My ds seems to have some but not all of the classic symptoms..so I am not sure if he is a true celiac or just extremely wheat/gluten sensitive

I hear ya about how tough feeding them is..my son is also dairy/soy free!

He mostly eats

Fruit:banana, grapes, apples, raisins, watermelon, etc

Envirokiz cereal

Envirokidz rice bars (loves these pb and berry)

Pamela's cookies (PB are his fav)

Whole foods shoestring ff and tator totts (w/ ketchup)

Rice chex and oatmeal

Grilled chicken/hamburger

bread with pb/jelly

sorbet

rice pasta

I also don't get men...I never thought his bathroom trips seemed Ok to me

How can u eat something that would make you feel like that..

I am urging him to get testes

His mother (my mil) has had a ton of unexplained GI problems for a long time now

They are both good height/weight though?

Thanks, kim

I just bought EnerG bread. It is pretty good. My boys did not complain at all. It wasn't crumbly. I also made Gluten free Pantry bread mix. It was easy and came out pretty good. That wasn't crumbly either.

My Husband is also giving me a hard time about getting tested. He has all the symptoms plus uncontrolable diabetes. It's so annoying.

My toddler had never had a formed stool. Everyone in the family was saying oh we had to put him in the tub/shower" he had diarrhea up his back spilling over the diaper." I said no way is this ok somethings wrong... I breatfed for the first year so I thought it had to do with breatfeeding but when it continue into the second year I knew something was going on. I also kept making comments to family that he looked pale, with dark circles under his eyes, thin. I was anemic after he was born because they had cut my bladder during the cesearean so I had wondered if he might have anemia because I was severly anemic but my familt kept saying hes fine he looked okay. I wasnt convinced. my instincts were telling me something with him.Hes been GFx 4 months and Ive finally seen a weight gain even though the pediatrician never picked it up and said he was 50 percentile for weight. His hemoglobin was slightly abnormal 4 months ago not too bad but I think we caught it early. I was a nurse and had remembered the signs and symptoms from learning about Celiac in school and my son was beginning to fit this picture. Now his dd thats another story. when we were dating I remember him almost not making it to the bathroom. 10-12 trips to the bathroom a day. He said he was told he had IBS. I thought this poor guy. Then his mom tells me hes been like this since he was an infant! Go figure? Whats up with my MIL? Now since my childs diagnosis hes having a hard time running from the reality of his problem. We shall see. I just wish he would go gluten-free/ I would it would be better for all of us...

Have you tried him on the Tinkyada pasta. Thanks to this group here I just found this and it is very good. I find it needs to be cooked longer than regular pasta to get it to a nice el dente.

Sorry to hear that your husband or anyone would not go gluten-free if they know they have Celia. Does he not realize what can happen to him down the road if he doesn't get this poison out of his body? I have a serious neurological disorder caused by exposure to gluten. I was not being defiant, I didn't know that gluten was my problem. I was diagnosed with a food sensitivty to all grains except rice and oats. I eliminated all the big offenders - breads, cakes, pies etc. Gluten was never mentioned. Only this year did I get to the celiac/gluten connection. Sometimes I would eat cookies or crackers but in very limited amounts. I cut back until I was symptom free. Not enough. Now - 15 years later I have this problem that limits my life, endanges my safety and threatens my future independence. Your husband needs to know that this is not a disease to be trifled with. There are things far worse than gluten free - like a bunch of nasty diseases that spin off of celiac - and this major threat to the nervous system. Claire

      Have I got coeliac disease

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest...

      @Mark Conway, here is an article outlining the various tests that can be used to diagnose celiac disease. By far, the most popular one ordered by physicians is the tTG-IGA. But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab. The article gives common variant names for each test. In...

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!

I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest you look for another physician who is more up to date in this area and is willing to work with you to get an accurate diagnosis. If, in fact, you do not have celiac disease but you know that gluten causes you problems, you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test available yet for NCGS. Celiac must first be ruled out. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. NCGS we is not autoimmune and we know less about it's true nature. But we do know it is considerably more common than celiac disease.

But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab. The article gives common variant names for each test.  In addition to IGA tests there are IGG tests which are particularly useful in the case of IGA deficiency.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty! My feet aren’t dry or ashy and I don’t have a rash that gets scaly. It’s like very itchy/burning vesicles that are symmetrical - on both arms, both legs, etc. They actually feel better in direct sunlight as long as it isn’t really hot or I’m not exercising outside, but gets worse if I sweat (especially if the area is covered up). It’s not usually on the outside of my elbows and knees which seems more typical of dermatitis herpetiformis (unless it spreads there). It tends to first hit the inside of those areas. Interestingly, twice the rash broke out soon after eating an unhealthy meal and having an alcoholic drink (I only drink a few times a year, no more alcohol content than a glass of wine).  So I wonder if there is a connection. I’m halfway considering doing a gluten challenge for a few months to see what happens, knowing I can stop if I have any symptoms, and asking for a full celiac disease panel at the end. I really appreciate your thoughts!
