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

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      About Celiac Remission

      This idea comes up often, but it’s important to separate theory from what’s actually supported by evidence. In celiac disease, the immune system does not “forget” gluten in a permanent or reliable way, even after long periods of avoidance, and the celiac genes do not turn off. While antibody levels (like tTG IgA) can normalize on a strict gluten-free diet an...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

      Medications

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
