We started a gluten challenge on my youngest son after he had been gluten free for 4.5 months. He started having noticible reactions 24 hrs later. He really was bad by day three and my husband said he had all the proof he needed(didn't to a scope/biopsy initally when his blood work was positive) and called the challenge off. There was no way he or us could have tolerated three months of that.

We had to do a gluten challenge after a month and a half of gluten free. (there was a three month wait for the appointment with a ped. gastro) my daughter was about 15 months old. She started reacting immediately and ended up in the hospital with dehydration after the blood test. She was deemed too ill to have the endoscopy with biopsy. i wasn't willing to feed her gluten anylonger for any further testing. She had the genetic test done and was positive for both DQ2 and DQ8. She was diagnosed "probable Celiac"

He has been eating gluten for two weeks, on the first day his reflux came back and since then he has a few bad bellies, saying it hurts and burny feeling etc. Yesterday he had an achy belly the whole day and then last night he vomited, he woke up in the night and vomited and then he vomited this morning. It could be gastro even, but he has no other symptoms other than an achy belly and vomiting. If it had started the day he ate gluten then I would think it was that, but now I'm not so sure.

Remember from what we know digestion has a 6-12 hour window. The rates for digestion variables also include the amount of liquid ingested and the amount of physical activity.

If you want to be a bit more proactive start journaling food, activity, and symptoms. Some Reactions to "triggers" can take up to 12 days for reaction time. (i.e. eosinophils)

This is a really hard, frustrating time for parents. The only thing you can do, is try your best.

Hmm, he stayed of gluten the whole day yesterday and it all settled down, I gave him gluten for breakfast and within an hour his achy tummy is back. Doh.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
