    Day 11 gluten-free

  2. glutenjunkie
    It took awhile with my daughter as well, the first month was her detoxing from it. If anything, she felt worse in that time. Good luck!

    Day 6 gluten free. Raging headache, feel foggy.

    That was a ton of great info- thank you! I have the white tongue, and I get unexplained rashes all over, quite frequently. They put me on Vistaril (like Benadryl) for it, but I despise medication that makes me feel sleepy or groggy, so I've stopped it and try and ride out the rashes. My daughter still gets exactly what you described, raised, crusty patches...

    Thanks for the comment and welcome to the forum. :)

    I know how hard it is, to impose the diet on your child. My 5 year old daughter has been gluten free since she was 2 and while it's helped her IMMENSELY, sometimes I still feel really awful about that. She has adjusted well. She knows gluten makes her feel terrible and avoids it herself. But, it still makes me sad for her, especially at birthday parties where...

    Good night- love this site. Much thanks to the many that helped me today.

    Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm on a quest for answers for so many issues I have had for so long and I think that this may be one of them and hoping to find people who know something about it.

    Does anyone else use activated charcoal or epsom salt baths for glutening detox?

    I'm 33 and NEVER been one to cook. I hate it. Raw meat grosses me out and I just can't do it. Thankfully, my husband picked up on that one for me. But lately, I've started baking gluten free and I'm actually starting to enjoy it. Quite a few bombs so far- because apparently baking isn't easy lol- but I made a gluten-free cake on Valentine's day for my daughter...

    Don't get discouraged. I promise it gets easier with time!! While I'm new to being gluten free, my daughter (5) has been for 3 years. I remember the beginning and feeling like "OMG, how can I do this, this is impossible".. but 3 years later, it's just become part of life.

    I joined here with high hopes that I would find others like me, so far so good. I joined a couple forums before this one, but they were fairly inactive and vague. I have found this forum to be very helpful and I only joined this afternoon. My daughter was also never tested for Celiacs. She was diagnoses with Autism just before age 2 and her ped at the...

    Thank you. I NEEDED to hear that so badly. This evening I had very little appetite, ate half a pork chop, a small potato and some green beans and I've drank 48oz of water in the last 2 hours. The cramps have eased up. I am also strongly considering taking the probiotics I bought for my daughter (gluten free for 3 years, age 5) but I'm on a lot of medication...

    I think I'm going to switch doctors. I've asked to be tested for Celiacs and systemic yeast for over a year and all they keep saying is to try the diet. If I have systemic yeast, just the gluten free diet isn't going to take care of it. I do have probiotics that I got for my daughter and I think I'm going to start taking them tomorrow and maybe on Monday...

    I have chewable acidophilus with bifidus tablets that are gluten free, I've just been feeling so awful that I'm scared to death to do anything else. Maybe I'll just suck it up and take one in the morning.

    It takes a lot of practice and unfortunately, quite a few mistakes. I haven't found anywhere to eat out that you can guarantee to be gluten free in my area. In the beginning, making your own foods or making sure labels say GLUTEN FREE and sticking to those products until you know all the hidden gluten is a good idea. I think I have a list of hidden gluten...

    It runs in my family and rather than test me- she suggested I just try the diet. Well, I'm trying it *5 days in* I feel AWFUL. I asked a second doctor yesterday to test and she said the same thing and about what an inconvenience for me test would be (apparently a biopsy of my intestine). Is this normal or is it time I find an entirely new practice?

    LOL thank you- that was creeping me out
  20. glutenjunkie
    On my page, my name and address are visible and I can't find the place to make that private... Can anyone help?

    **This is casein (dairy free) too, just ignore the dairy part if that isn't an issue** Gluten-free Casein-free Diet on a Budget: Meal Plans The following recipes make limited use of specialty gluten-, casein- and soy-free items like expensive flours and other substitute ingredients.

    My daughter has been gluten free for 3 years (she's 5). My husband and I have been VERY careful about cross contamination because ANY amount negatively affects her. She has had her own cupboard that NOTHING with gluten goes into. Primarily, the only foods with gluten in our house have been our bread and our snacks. We eat gluten free meals because we eat...

    I definitely have NOT had any gluten for 5 days. My daughter is gluten free and has been for 3 years, so I know the "rules" of being gluten free. This is pain 5 days into just one day STOPPING any gluten ingestion. Since I posted, I THINK it kind of feels like insane gas. The pain moves around a bit and I've been burping. Not relieving the intestinal cramps...

    Anyone else here have a child with Autism that you've tried the gluten free diet with? It's worked amazingly well for my daughter (now 5, gluten free at age 2).
  25. glutenjunkie
    We use activated charcoal ASAP when our daughter gets gluten accidentally. Is this common?
