    There is a list of the usual suspects for the symptoms. Celiac Disease/gluten intolerance H.Ployri parasites Eosinophilic gastrointestinal issues (This is connected to "food triggers", even if it involves the esophagus ~young ones complain of tummy pain.) Just wanted to put some more ideas out there that could fit with the symptoms. You should be...

    A gluten challenge can be dangerous. My daughter who was about 16 months at the time of the challenge ended up in the hospital for dehydration. The explosive "D" in her diapers ended up giving her a (UTI) Urinary Tract Infection. Giving her the antibiotic (that should have been gluten free) started vomitting that would not stop. She was in the hospital...

    You can safely breastfeed while being gluten free. Make sure you get a healthy diet yourself. If my production was low, chocolate perked things right back up! Every body and baby are different so that might be right for you. We didn't know about the kids having gluten issues so we went with the basic Gerber baby foods. If I was a perfect mom with nothing...

    Keep a food journal. If you have another food intolerance you can track it down easier. This journal should include your hygeine products. You may have a contaminated lip gloss. For some crazy reason I was having a reaction to deordorant with barley in it. (How does something used in your armpit make you sick to your stomach!!?) Gut damage takes a...

    I agree with the other posts. A gluten free diet has been shown to improve the health of other auto-immune disease sufferers. Please get your thyroid checked, because medication may be needed.

    A gluten challenge is very risky with such a young one. My daughter ended up being hospitalized for dehydration at 16 months for the gluten challenge for testing. A Celiac can react to one micron of gluten. I think everyone here is going to have a hard time telling you how much gluten to give your little one. Yes. I believe you are right about a ...

    The whole slow motion thing, even the sounds of the moment. Picture a lovely get together. I am 5'1" so I was wearing some chunky soled shoe boots. I was walking quickly and there was a puddle on the floor. So off I go sliding on one foot, catching my balance every time I put my other foot down for a split second. The mommentum was moving me forward...

    Take the bake goods graciously, put them in the freezer. Figure out if your food sensitivity is the eggs or xanthan gum. A person that takes the time to make gluten free food will have the understanding that are trying to figure out what is making you sick now.

    Look into the possibility of TMJ. I rarely chew gum, because it really does aggravate TMJ. I have actually dislocated my jaw. Seriously I had to have it "popped" back into place. That really sets a girl up for a lot of jokes.

    Maybe get a copy and put it on funniest videos? Counting some cash would make me feel better. I have tripped, slipped, and fallen many times and the mortification of the moment is the worst.

    I got a chance to serve a wheat allergy person (who avoids gluten) homemade gluten-free cookies and cupcakes. I sent her home with LizLovely cookie pack and a spare cupcake. It's just nice to look out for fellow gluten free people!

    If you have lost 10% of your body weight, you are putting a lost of stress on your gallbladder. The burping and having difficulty with high fat foods is a possible symptom. If you fit into the Female, Fair, Fertile Forty age bracket you are in a higher risk group too. Are you having any pain in your right side, lower rib cage area? The time frame for...

    If you can continue with the testing, she needs to be on gluten. Testing at this point will be to rule in or rule out several possiblities. An endoscopy with biopsy... Celiac H. Ployri congenital defect parasites eosinophilic esophagitus (or any other eosinophilic condition) Having a brain fart here and can't remember some of possibilities...

    Dealing with Celiac for any person (any age) has a long list of irritations. One of the pitfalls of the diet is not feeling the freedowm of options. If you can say to your little one, "the burger with no bun?, the salad?, or should we try a different place?" If I remember right, 4 year-olds really want to take charge of their situation. School!!? That...

    To be clear eosinophils have nothing to do with Celiac.
  16. mommida
    If you are going to test for Celiac, the patient needs to ingest gluten. You can try the genetic test, but it wouldn't be a "gold standard diagnoses" and it still is not a fail proof test. If there is a positive on the bloodwork panel, the next step toward diagnoses is the scope with biopsy. (A friend's child was wrongly diagnosed with Celiac. A medication...

    I am really replying to bump your post. Celiac Disease can cause many vitamin and mineral defiencies. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause nuerological disturbances/damage.
  18. mommida
    I second the idea of testing for pernicious anemia. There is a connection to Celiac. There are some other auto-immune diseases that anemia is a primary symptom. I can tolerate slow Fe sometimes. I even have a hard time eating any iron rich foods.

    Did the pathology report include testing for eosinophils? Did the doctor give you any pictures from the scope?

    Hi. I just turned 40 and for the first time in my life am having serious acne issues. This was like a rash on my chin and up around the sides of my mouth. I was really suspecting another food issue. Some one on here said that a ZINC defiency can cause acne issues. I went to the dermatologist (what a joke! wants to do laser therapy for my slight rosacea...

    My daughter was not walking this November because her ankle hurt. She was diagnosed with Celiac when she was 16/17 months and then with Eosinophilic Esophagitus when she was 6. There was no discoloration of skin, no swelling, but it kept cracking and snapping. Your local Fire station probably has FREE crutches. If it's hurting him keep weight off of it...

    I've been using The Allergen-Free Baker's handbook, by Cybele Pascal. LOVE IT! (How to bake without gluten, wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame) Buying the allergen free ingredients is always a concern in availability and cost, but I have located ingredients easily. I bake the treats and they are GONE! Gluten eaters have complemented...

    Love that cookbook too! Make the carrot cake as cupcakes, not as a full cake. I also suggest to peel the first outer layer off of the carrots and discard it, before grating the carrots for the recipe. (Everyone LOVES this recipe, even kids when their mother swears they don't like cake!) The sour cream muffins are really quick and easy too. Many people...

    BIOTIN I strongly suggest Biotin in more a liquid form not the powdery pill. It would by from eating liver. Not too many people eat liver, so vitamin supplements are probably needed. Thyroid problems should be looked into. I have been on thyroid medication for 15 years and the Biotin really helps.

    Are you having any other symptoms that could be gallbladder related?
