2.5yo Gf 24hrs And Behaviour Has Gone Crazy!

OK, so I've read that people can be affected when they get glutened, but how about going gluten-free?

We made the switch from lunchtime yesterday and all was well, he even slept through the night last night (that was a miracle in itself). But OMG, this morning it's like some crazy child has been unleashed - screaming, crying, disagreeable, not listening (this isn't new) and it's only lunchtime here now.

Is this normal or maybe it's just a normal off toddler day???

I feel like ripping my hair out already, fortunately DH is here to share the load.

When I first changed my diet I was WAY worse. I'm thinking it could have been withdrawl. My second week of the diet was a huge improvement. Gluten is highly addictive and some people do experience withdrawl symptoms.

It could be withdrawal symptoms..... but then again, it sounds exactly like my 4 yr old son when he has chocolate...... he turns into hell on wheels!!!!! It also sounds alot like a terrible two day........

My dd is 3 and we took her off gluten when she was 2 1/2. She had withdraw symptoms for a short amount of time. After a couple of weeks we could tell that their was marked improvement. :) I remember going through the grocery store and she started yelling "crackos," (crackers.) She also craved mac & cheese, she could have eaten that and bread until she could eat no more.

Now, she doesn't seem to crave those foods like she did. :)

I know it's hard sometimes to tell what's normal toddler behavior and what isn't. After your ds body has time to heal and has made the adjustments you'll be able to tell the difference in the sypmtoms and behavior.

Hang in there.....it will get better!! :)

Ok ...I could have sworn I just responded to this and now my reply is not there so I will add it again:

I would not expect a change so soon. Most people do not see improvement that fast and if you do you are one of the few and lucky.

Took me 8 months to get back to normal. Some people get better sooner and some longer...depends on many factors. Usually kids see an improvement faster so hopefully it gets better soon.

Also, at first there can be hidden gluten sneaking in.

If you need some lists that can help make things easier you can email me and I can send them to you.

Hang in there

We are going through the same thing!! Our son has been gluten-free for 2 weeks and now he has energy! He is running and playing and doing all of the things he never had the energy to do before.... On the downside he has the energy for "fits". He has never really acted out before and now...! He has started trying to hit and crying and not listening. He was even trying to climb up the door jam the other night!!!! My son had always slept with no problem now he wont even think about bed time, as a matter of fact he is having a fit about going to be tonight. This is crazy.

      Augmentin (amoxicillin) syrup

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Good point. I will go to the pharmacy to ask who is the provider of this Augmentin and i'll contact them. The problem is i need to know about it very fast cuz i am already delaying the antibiotics administration. My little girl is not afraid of injections but i cannot say she likes them. It's normal. We did choose the syrup solutions because it was the easiest. Of course where there are flavors added...the mighty gluten may be present or not. Thanks a lot for your time and for the reply! 👏

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      You can always just double up or triple up on whatever gluten free chewable multivitamin product you may already be using. That should cover the bases. Celiacs need the same vitamins and minerals as non celiacs, just in higher doses to compensate for less efficient absorption. Are you wanting to boost any particular vitamins or minerals? I seriously doubt you will find a vitamin product specifically designed for celiac kids. There just isn't a big enough market for such a product to provide the incentive for a company to invest in such a product line.

      Enegy level extremely low

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Sicilygirl, I had lost a great amount of weight, felt depressed, and had no appetite early on.  I found that taking Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine extremely helpful.   Doctors routinely check B12 and Vitamin D, but they fail to test for deficiencies in other B vitamins like Thiamine, because blood tests for other vitamins are not accurate measures of deficiencies.   Low Thiamine can result in depression, anxiety, unintentional weight loss, loss of appetite, and  emotional lability (quickly changing emotions and moods), and gastrointestinal symptoms (gastrointestinal Beriberi).  These symptoms of low thiamine can be easily brushed aside and contributed to other things.  The best way to tell if one is low in thiamine us to take it and look for health improvement.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  No harm, no foul for trying it.   I took a B 50 Complex along with 300 mg Benfotiamine twice a day with the first two meals of the day.  A one a day multivitamin does not provide sufficient amounts to overcome the  malabsorption of celiac disease and correct low vitamin levels stored inside cells.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so any extra or unabsorbed is easily excreted in urine.  The eight B vitamins work together.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  If there's not sufficient thiamine, the other B vitamins are not utilized and not stored inside cells.  Thiamine is needed for iron absorption.  Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D. We need more Thiamine when we are physically stressed by illness, emotionally stressed, and physically active.  Coping with Celiac covers all three.  Thiamine stored inside cells can become depleted within three days to three weeks.  Symptoms can change depending on how much thiamine is absorbed from your diet.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine results in an eighty percent increase in brain activity, so symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  The brain just thinking can use as much thiamine as leg muscles use running a marathon.  Mitochondria become sick and die without sufficient Thiamine.     Doctors aren't required to take many nutrition courses in their training period.  (Twenty hours of nutrition education out of seven years at medical schools funded by pharmaceutical companies.  Vitamins cannot be patented, so doctors cannot make money by prescribing vitamins like they make money by prescribing pharmaceutical drugs.).    I started feeling better within a very short period of time after taking Benfotiamine and a B Complex.  I also took magnesium, because thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.   Giving the body the vitamins and minerals it needs to function will increase your health.
