Here is a very good article on magnesium I found from the NIH: Open Original Shared Link It states that too much magnesium can have the same effects than a magnesium deficiency, which is interesting. Anyhow, I see now that my daughter has been on a way too high dose, because our pediatrician told us that we could give her the 4-year old dose of the supplement...

Thank you for posting this. They do not list what form of magnesium it is, but I will contact them.

Thank you so much for your response. I will research the GAPS diet more. I see that it is based on the SCD which I am familiar with. The trace minerals are a great idea as well.

Thank you so much for sharing this! This is great information. The supplement we used to give her (called Calm for Kids) is magnesium citrate. No surprise we have the loose painful stools. I picked up another calcium/magnesium chewable which is magnesium oxide and apparently useless. So, I need to look for magnesium lactate. My daughter is definitely low...

I appreciate your response and good point about the "free glutamate". I am very familiar with it, since I am also highly sensitive to "free glutamate". I am definitely avoiding all of the "contains free glutamate" ingredients, but have gotten a bit more relaxed about the "may contain free glutamate" ingredients. It is extremely hard to be glutenfree and also...

I have a 3-year old daughter who has been glutenfree for over 1 year now. Celiac was suspected as an underlying condition for chronic constipation followed by recurring c.diff infections for over 9 months. The Celiac gene is also present. Blood work was negative, she is however igA deficient. Her situation improved significantly on a glutenfree diet,...

My 2.5 year old girl has recently been very emotional, which is the same behaviour we always see when she gets gluten. She also gets dark rings under her eyes. I am positive that she did not get any gluten from food, but she has been playing with play dough a lot over the last few days. I thought we were very careful that she does not ingest any, so I was...

I was wondering if anyone knows whether Celiac children are more likley to have stronger reactions to the MMR vaccine or any other live virus vaccine? Thank you. Evelyn

Oops...I am seeing that some of the links did not come across. The recipe website is glutenfreegoddess.com. She has links to for the breadmachine and the bread mix as well.

This is an awesome site for gluten-free recipes. This person is amazing in creating new recipes all the time. Here is a bread take she claims to be her all-time favorite. The secret ingredient is sorghum flour. Open Original Shared Link It would be worth getting a bread machines as well. This site recommends this one as it has a gluten-free cycle. ...

I just wanted to say thank you again to everyone for their responses. My friend has decided to try a gluten-free diet with her son. All of these responses really helped in making that decision. Now I have to try to convince my mom as well. She has severe rheumatoid arthritis. I am sure I got the Celiac gene from her and I think that she could benefit...

Wow, thank you for sharing that. Did you also eliminate dairy?

My 2-year old daughter is gluten and dairy free. When I tried dairy with her in the past, I noticed also that she had issues with sleeping at night. Could the rash be exzema? A friend of mine had big issues with exzema in her kids and was able to resolve it on dairy free diet. I give my girl a mix of rice milk and coconut milk. The probiotics are extremely...

My 2-year old daughter and I both need to eat a gluten and dairy free diet and my daughter has also a severe nut allergy. We will soon need to take a trip to Germany to visit grandparents. It is usually a 20-24h trip door-to-door. I am so afraid of this trip since I have no idea how I am going to take the few fresh foods my picky eater likes to eat with me...

The Paleo diet seems to be similar to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), which is interesting. SCD is supposed to cure things like Chrons, Celiac, Autism. The theory behind SCD is that you basically starve the pathogen that is responsible for triggering the disease.
