Hi, is there gluten in this? I can't find anything about it. We were having a wonderful evening at the park & when we came home my daughter had a homemade Popsicle made w/ orange crush liquid water enhancer (since we just found out Popsicles at the store contain wheat-who would have thought?!?) & began vomiting shortly after. Has anyone else had any issues? Thanks!

Never heard of it but probably gluten-free.   What Popsicles contain wheat?

According to the  Walmart site - 

Ingredients: Water, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Natural And Artificial Flavors, Sucralose, Contains 2% Or Less of The Following: Malic Acid, Acesulfame Potassium, Yellow 5, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative),

 

looks gluten-free.

You are just repeating someone's blog?  I thought you said you had found Popsicles with wheat in them.  Other than something with a crunchy coating or " cookies and cream", I have never seen a Popsicle with wheat.  And those are more like an ice cream bar.  

 

I thought you you had actually seen some Popsicles with wheat and could share the brand to help others.

we thought they were gluten free but so far she's vomited twice in 2 days after an orange Popsicle so I googled it & found that. So I just thought for sure that's what it was. And then tonight she vomited after an orange crush homemade Popsicle so we thought that had gluten. Idk. I'm at a loss! We're all upset, frustrated, & at our wits end. Her vomiting is still continuing & that was the common factor. I have no clue what it would be then! No cross contamination because we've gotten rid of everything & bought new.

It could be anything.  There is a lot of ingredient s in both things - so it's hard to tell what might be an issue.  Could even be something else because people do vomit for many reasons.

 

the best way to know if a food has gluten is to read the ingredients for your self before she consumes the food.

Thank you for your help! Something has glutened her we're assuming. Her dr said she will continue to vomit as her levels go down & her stomach heals (which really makes no sense to me).

Take this time to research all that you can about celiac disease.  Remember, it is a genetic autoimmune disorder that is triggered by gluten (flares up) and causes damage to the small intestine.  Why would she continue to vomit? First, I suspect that like everyone in the beginning, you will accidentally expose her to gluten.  Soon, this will rarely happen as you both become an experts!   Be sure to read our Newbie 101 pinned thread under "Coping".  It's right at the top.  Lots of sensible good tips regarding how to avoid gluten.  Then she may continue to vomit or feel poorly until her body starts to calm down in the absence of gluten.  This is not an allergy or intolerance that will stop symptoms within a day or so (as the offending food leaves the body).  celiac disease is a flare up.  Once it starts, it can take days, weeks or even months for the body to calm down.  That's why you have to be extra careful to NOT eat gluten.  

My MIL had MS.  Every spring, she would get a severe MS flare-up.  She could not walk for six weeks.  She had to go on temporary disability and strong medications that really did not help.    No one knew the cause of her flare-ups that were so severe.  There was no stopping it.  Luckily, we can prevent flare-ups in celiac disease.  A strict diet is the cure.  

While she is healing, try to stick to whole foods that you prepare yourself.  Fresh meat, fish, veggies, fruit. Cook them well.  It is hard to digest ANYTHING when you have so much damage.  I used my crockpot alot and had lots of stewed meat and veggies.  When I started to feel better, I added dairy and nuts which are harder to digest (at least for me).  Look at the ingredients on those Popsicles.  She can react to anything right now (the dyes, corn, gums, anything....).  So make your own out of just plain juice.  One ingredient.  Much healthier anyway for anyone!  At least for a few months.

Take care!  Hugs to your little girl!

Thank you so much! I'm learning it's a day to day, minute by minute process of her keeping her food down. She was sick yesterday morning vomiting but then had a great day until 10p at night & began vomiting up her dinner. It happens a lot at night times. She was ok for school today so I'm praying she'll make it through the day! Monday was the first whole day she's been there in a month! She said she sat in the bathroom stall after lunch crying & praying she wouldn't vomit. So much pressure on a 10 yr old. Thanks for all your advice. This has been such a scary, frustrating, upsetting experience. I'm praying that once it levels out we can helps others who are newly diagnosed like everyone has helped us.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      By trents · Posted

      There are third party home test kits for celiac disease that do not involve needles. They use a cheek swab I believe. The cost is a little over $100 USD I believe for most of them.  A 7 week "gluten challenge" should be more than enough. The absolute minimum according to guidelines is 2 weeks but I would not cut it that close. I usually recommend four weeks but the more the better in so far as ensuring valid testing. "My daughter was told by her doctor to eliminate american grains due to the fortifying process." What's this about? Are you referring to the vitamins and minerals added to processed cereal grain products in the USA? Is this supposed to be harmful according to this doctor? What kind of doctor is this? MD? Naturopath? What is interesting is that when people go gluten free they often need to supplement with vitamins and minerals to compensate for the loss of vitamins and minerals they were getting in wheat products. Most gluten free facsimile flours are nutritionally bankrupt.  Yes, there is a significant statistical correlation between Hashimotos and celiac disease. Autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. Omeprazole and other PPI meds are concerning when used long term in that they raise gut PH (lower acidity) and inhibit the digestion and assimilation of nutrients. They are some of the most over prescribed and under monitored meds in all of pharmacology. I was on Omeprazole for years and weaned myself off it. It was a real fight because of rebound. I bridged with TUMS which is much better option when used for spot coverage. The interesting thing is, a lot of GERD is actually caused by hypoacidity rather than hyperacidity. If you have a lot of GERD you might want to look into MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance which is another medical problem very common in the celiac community.

      Thank you, Trents.  This is exactly why I ask questions.  The reference range was anything over 15 was out of range for all 3 antibody tests where I was out of range, Tissue Transglutaminase (IgG)<1.0 was the top of the normal range and 47-310 is the range for the IgA.   I started limiting my gluten (American Grains) exposure in 2020 when my daughter tested homozygous for the MTHFR gene so the numbers in 2024 are definitely reduced from what they probably were in 2020.  My daughter was told by her doctor to eliminate american grains due to the fortifying process.     I have been changing up my diet since 2018 when I could not stay out of the bathroom.  I attributed my stomach issues a generic medication that I had been taking for my lymphedema since they started at the same time. I had gone from being unable to use the bathroom to being unable to leave the house with spare clothes.  I mostly stick to a protein and a vegetable for my meals now-a-days.  Gluten exposure is usually through family events.  I just added pre and probiotics into my diet in 2024 because of gerd like issues that I was told was related to another gene issue.  I am trying to stop eating tums and Omeprazole like they are candy.  I have Hashimoto’s so I always thought my ANA Pattern/Titer scores were just pointing to the thyroid issues not any other conditions.     I will make sure that I restart/guarantee my gluten intake at the end of April before my June appointment.  7 weeks should be enough? Though 6 pieces of bread a day is a lot higher than I have ever consumed.    I will prompt the kids to start their journeys.  They all have stomach issues, but their doctors were attributing them to various other reasons since no one in our family has ever been diagnosed with celiac.   Anxiety was always what the doctors said their stomachs hurt so they eat tums alot too.   Thank you again for your anatomy help. The people who I have personally known that had a celiac diagnosis got so sick when they accidentally consumed gluten that I never considered that I might have it myself.  I would not have done the test myself if my daughter wasn’t so anxious about needles.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease is a lifelong autoimmune condition. Unlike some food allergies, which children may outgrow, celiac disease does not go away. Even if you don’t experience immediate symptoms after consuming gluten, it doesn’t mean the disease is gone. The absence of symptoms does not equal safety. Gluten can still be causing damage to your small intestine, even if you don’t feel it right away. As @trents mentioned, this is called "silent celiac disease," where there is internal damage without obvious symptoms. The fact that you didn’t react to the wheat-containing cookie or the donut doesn’t mean you’ve outgrown celiac disease. It’s possible that your body didn’t react strongly at that moment, but repeated exposure to gluten could lead to long-term complications, such as nutrient deficiencies, osteoporosis, or other autoimmune conditions. The damage caused by gluten can be cumulative, even if symptoms aren’t immediate. Your doctor’s suggestion to “experiment” is concerning. Celiac disease should never be tested by intentionally consuming gluten unless it’s under strict medical supervision for diagnostic purposes (like a gluten challenge before testing). Even then, it’s risky and can cause significant harm. If you’re curious about whether your celiac disease is still active, the best course of action is to consult a gastroenterologist and undergo proper testing, such as blood tests (tTG-IgA) or an endoscopy with biopsy, rather than self-experimentation. Your mom’s skepticism is understandable and warranted. Celiac disease requires strict, lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet, even if you feel fine after eating gluten. It’s not worth risking your long-term health for a donut or cookie, no matter how delicious they may be. I strongly encourage you to avoid gluten entirely and continue following a strict gluten-free diet. If you have further questions or concerns, please discuss them with a healthcare professional who specializes in celiac disease.

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats can be problematic for some people with celiac disease due to cross-contamination or sensitivity to avenin. Corn and rice are typically safe but should be checked for cross-contamination if processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing grains.
