Aaaahhhhh! Now He's Sick!

Here we are at a week out from getting his endoscopy done and the little guy is sick! Running a fever and complaining that his throat hurts...and his chest hurts and his head hurts and he puked two days ago but now I can't tell if it's because he's sick or if this is the Celiac's talking.

We only have a week and then we were going gluten free after the endoscopy. Will they still do it if he's sick? I'm not sure how they are with that....I know how they are with regular surgeries. Oy. I don't want to keep giving my little guy something that is so obviously making him feel bad. :( He asked me to give him Miralax yesterday because he knows it kind of helps. He's 6....how sad is that?

Anyway....I really hope they still do this. I am going to see if they'll take a quick look at him while I have his siblings in for their blood work. I don't think it's anything too serious but he has been running a fever for 2 days now.

 

He has his preop appointment on Friday....so I am hoping he is better by then.

      vitamin D levels in obsessive-compulsive disorder "The number of participants with vitamin D insufficient ... and vitamin D deficiency ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly higher than the control group... and also the number of participants whose vitamin D levels were in the normal range ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly lower than the control group." Low vitamin D iscommon in Celiac Disease patients. Also no lithium in drinking water (bottled water) or in areas with low ground water Lithium contributes to anxiety. Association between naturally occurring lithium in drinking water and suicide rates The EPA calculated a provisional oral reference dose (p-RfD) of 2 μg/kg-day using the Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value   https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-11/ucmr5-technical-fact-sheet-lithium-in-drinking-water.pdf Should we all take a bit of lithium?! Raising my vitamin D to 80 ng/ml and taking 5 mg a day of Lithium Orotate for a few month helped me.

      After 3 months without gluten he will have healed and his blood tests will be negative. That does not mean "not celiac, ok to eat wheat, rye and barley again.  It does mean the diet is working.  Many of those recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease are often deficient in vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals.  It's a side effect called Malabsorption.  Get his blood checked for 25(OH)D level to be sure.

      Yeah, but that's probably not where you want to eat, anyway.

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.
