    Hi everyone. I realize I may not get many (if any) responses to this post because it's kind of an obscure topic, but here goes... has anyone had seizures that improved after going gluten-free? I've mentioned several times over the years on this forum that I have refractory epilepsy (seizures that won't go away despite treatment). I've found some...

    Hi and welcome! An allergy test for wheat may come back negative. This is because celiac is not an allergy to wheat; Wheat, rye, oats, and barley (gluten) trigger an autoimmune reaction in the body of people with celiac disease. In other words, our body is intolerant to gluten. A simple way to say it: For people with celiac disease, gluten is perceived...

    Hi! I'm sorry I don't know much about the smell of a celiac poop. But Welcome to the forums! I am sure someone will be able to help you. I have a 3 month old and I am currently having him see a pediatric GI for reflux and observing his GI probs. for celiac. Unfortunately, all his poops smell foul, but I can't attribute it to celiac because he's on a...

    Thanks Megan. Yep, Eli is on Zantac. I tell you, maybe it's the weather (it's a dry heat wave here in Georgia), but Eli has been squirming, kicking, and crying a lot too the last few days. He usually sleeps well at night, but night before last he screamed until 1:00 am. Bless your heart, Nathan's waking every 1-2 hours? Has the doctor suggested...

    Megan, I'm so glad Nathan has responded well so far to the Alimentum! My son is doing better on it too...although he is still having diarrhea several times a day. However, he is spitting up less, not vomiting, and not constipated. Like Nathan, my little Eli (just turned three months) is a big boy at 15 pounds (so, I agree with you) the dr.'s theory...

    Please don't let your dr. rule out Celiac or GERD just because your son is thriving. My little boy just turned three months and is "off the charts" with his weight as well, but he is also a baby in A LOT of intestinal distress (crying, screaming, vomiting, spitting-up, constipation, diarrhea). We are currently on Alimentum (tried the Nutramegan...didn't...

    Thanks for filling me in on the details. I'm so glad to hear that she is finally growing! I know you are a relieved mommy. Keep us updated! -Julie

    Kayjay, I am so glad Maddie is responding well to the milk-based formula introduction! She has grown a pound and gotten longer?! Yay! Was she having a problem gaining weight (or failure to thrive)? What did they attribute it to? I hope she continues to respond well to her dietary change...she sure is a cute litte girl She looks like a happy...

    What a stressing day for you all! I hope they find answers; I'll keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. Julie

    Thank you Kim for the advice! I am so scatterbrained lately...I probably would have left the house without my list if I wouldn't have read your post! I hate to hear that you had such a hard time finding a GI that would listen...ugggh, Dr.s make me so mad! Sadly though, I'm not surprised; it's a shame what we have to go through to get an M.D. to LISTEN...

    Thank you Betsy for responding! I'm so sorry to hear that you had to wait so long for your daughter's appointment. I hope everything got resolved and she's feeling better! I didn't mean to imply that I'm not thankful for my blessings. It's just been a long three months of back-and-forth to the hospital and doctor...I am MOST thankful to have...

    You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I will pray that everything works out for you and your children to be reunited. Blessings. -Julie

    Mechelle, Thank you for that info. Now that I have a son, it is important for me to know childhood sources of hidden gluten (i.e. playdoe) Izac's mom, No need to apologize for a poop post! Everytime I open my son's diaper, his poop is a different color. Tonight (we switched formulas again)...it was green! Hope your boy is feeling...

    Well, my baby boy has an appt. with the GI specialist tomorrow. I took him to the pediatrician today and she got him an "immediate visit" with the GI. Her office called and told them I needed an appt. within 24 hours if possible. Bless his little heart; he is such a happy baby. He will scream with stomach pains and then stop, grin, and stick out his...

    Hi everyone, You do not know how much I appreciate your replies. Thank you so much! I am a first-time mom, and I just want to help my baby boy! I have read up on the immunizations, and I am really considering not allowing the second and third dose of the rotovirus vaccine to be given to Eli. It is a live virus. I read that children who get rotovirus...

    I'm so glad to see such wonderful news! Prayers and blessings. Julie

    Ursula, The doctor told me that his initial problems were caused by the rotovirus vaccine that he was given. However, she said that the side-effects should be gone after that first week. Like you, the vaccines were my first idea. He has not been the same baby since those dang vaccines. I'm dreading his four-month shots due in six weeks. Karen...

    Hello everyone! My three month old has to be the happiest baby in the whole world but ever since he had his immunizations three weeks ago, he has been sick! I won't dwell on all the details...he got constant diarreah, became irritable, and stopped making eye contact with us for over a week. It was so scary! It was like he turned into a lump...

    Thanks Karen!

    Oh, I wish I would have read this earlier...I just placed a sixty dollar order with them yesterday; since the shipping is a flat rate, I would have thrown in a pack of those cookies. Oh well, I'll DEFINITELY be trying them next month! thanks for the info. -Julie

    Hey everyone! I've been searching this morning for a list of gluten-free meds. Didn't celiac.com used to have a list? Is it still available? I may not be looking in the right spot or something...can some of you wise advanced members help me out? Thanks a million! -Julie (a not-so-wise advanced member)

    This is updated: I called Uncle Ben's FYI: For those who asked me earlier, I was told their 90-second mexican, white, and brown rice are gluten-free Only Four Ingredients! Super easy chicken cassarole (sp?): 1. two pouches of Uncle Ben's 90-second-to-cook white rice (it's gluten-free) (Make it chicken flavored rice by crushing a bullion...

    Hi there and welcome! Well, congrats, your post posted just fine! There is a lot of wonderful info. to be found on this site and great emotional and informative support here on the forums. It will take a while to learn the "rules" you must follow with this diagnosis, but once you get the hang of it, it will seem natural to buy and eat gluten free...

    I don't breastfeed because of the medications I'm on (otherwise I would)...so I can't be much help. But I wanted to say: CONGRATULATIONS on the birth of your baby! Blessings to your family! -Julie
