Hi

my both children got celiacs since they are born, the elder one is 9 and the younger one is 8.

they are not eating gluten since they are diagnosed but still sometime it’s hard for them to cope. Are there any chances their celiac will go away? Will they be able to eat the normal food and flour?

Ruqia,

Celiac does not go away. It is in the genes of your children just like the color of their eyes. One suggestion I have is to try and find other children with Celiac Disease that your kids can be friends with. Is there a Celiac support group where you live? If so, that might be the place to start.

Your reply is confusing. Did you mean to say, "unfortunately there is no such group"?

It doesn’t go away unfortunately. 
 

My sister and I were celiac children and the hardest part for us was the FOMO (fear of missing out) and the being “different” from other kids. I would eat cookies that were passed around at school just because all the other kids were getting cookies.

I would suggest coordinating with their schools and any friends parents in their lives to make sure that there is ALWAYS a comparable option for them. When I was a kid there was never cake for me at birthday parties and I was so touched when a thoughtful mother got me my own piece. Nowadays this is very easy and there are plenty of treats to make sure your kids are NEVER left without something the other kids get. This is when kids cheat the most!!!

We make plenty of compromises for peanut free kids but never for celiac kids. The teachers and parents should always make sure these kids have their own safe treats.

      ome value? Is that a typo? I don't see that on any of the test results you post and I've never heard of that one.

      Thanks for the update! It’s great that your GI is being thorough with the follow-up testing—hopefully the endoscopy will give you clearer answers. The EPI diagnosis is interesting; I’ve read that celiac can sometimes lead to pancreatic issues like EPI due to long-term malabsorption or autoimmune overlap. Have they mentioned if your EPI might improve with a gluten-free diet if celiac is confirmed? Wishing you smooth sailing with the endoscopy tomorrow—let us know how it goes.

      Hi again! I just wanted to update here that the GI redid my bloodwork and the ome value is still high so I'm having an endoscopy tomorrow. I also got diagnosed with EPI which seems to possibly be linked to celiac according to Google.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      Reishi and cordyceps are immune modulators, they stop you reacting so much/producing antibodies to lectins. Uptake is better when taken as a tincture, you can buy it pre made as a tincture, usually vodka based, or make your own which is much cheaper. You can find instructions online, basically powdered mushrooms soaked in strong alcohol for a month, shaking regularly. Then the strained mushrooms are heated gently in water for 8 hours, strained again and the water then combined with the first alcohol extract. Some of the properties are water soluble, others require alcohol for extraction. It’s also prescribed for fatigue which is a side effect I’m happy to put up with.

      corn: It is the second most commonly genetically modified food on the planet (soy is #1) Genetic modification of foods continues to kill animals in scientific studies. It is an incomplete protein. It is difficult for humans to digest (ever see corn in your stool?) It is high in calories and low in nutrient value It is a new food to the human genome. It is being used as a staple food for our cattle, fish, chicken, and cars. Cows and fish are not designed to eat grain. (Have you ever seen a fish jump out of a lake into a corn field for supper?) When animals eat corn as a staple they have shorter life spans. Corn fed beef is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Grass fed beef is not. ...
