Lauretta65    Hi my 9 year old daughter was dx a yr ago with celiac disease. She was always complaining of tummy pain upset stomach and constipation. She has been gluten free for about a yr now. Her levels have dropped greatly but are not neg yet. She is still complaining of stomach pain cramping and nausea. I have tried to figure out what is causing the pain and I think it might be dairy related. Is this common with celiac and does any have any advice. thank    10:24 PM

Welcome!  It can take a long while for celiac antibodies to go down.  One of the contributing factors is that the learning curve is steep when you go gluten free.  Have you looked at hidden sources of gluten?  Cross contamination?  What is going on at school? How often do you eat out?  I encourage you to read our Newbie 101 section.  You might find it helpful.  

Milk?  When the tips of the intestinal villi get damaged the enzymes to digest milk sugars (lactose) can not be released.  You can try going dairy free to see if it helps.  Once healed many celiacs (like me) can safely digest milk.

Thank you for your response. I will defiantly check out the newbie section. I do think of the cross contamination. We do not eat out for that reason and she brings her own lunch to school everyday. I have to take her for a Lactose breathing test on Monday. I hope I can get to the bottom of this. I feel so bad that she has so much discomfort all the time. The other concern of mine is that she has been taken miralax for about 5 yrs now. I wonder if that is giving her the cramps. If I stop that she has a big constipation problem.

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      By ShariW · Posted

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
