Hello all, I have three great kids. Two of them, Alex 11 & Abbey 8, have celiac disease. Alex has just recently been diagnosed as being lactose intollerant. He has many other issuses as well. He is very angry. I am hoping someone might have some suggestions on how to cheer the kid up, and what to feed him without hurting him. Thanks,

What kinds of foods does he like to eat? There are lots of great kid-friendly substitutes out there.

I have an 11 year old son who has been off milk for his whole life and just recently we found out he is gluten intolerant. He has some behavioral issues, mostly attention problems rather than being "naughty" and a lot of negativity. He was very angry when he was told he couldn't have wheat/gluten anymore. It's been a few months and he's doing much better. The attention problems have been clearing up some and the anger has subsided. I notice a lot of negativity when he eats something questionable, like Easter candy that I didn't have a chance to check on before he devoured it.

We've tried cheering him up by doing things that aren't associated with food - going fishing, playing more baseball out in the yard, letting him have a few more turns on the computer, etc. And I've made a lot of special treats for him - more than usual. All my kids (I have 4) have enjoyed homemade cookies, brownies, cakes, etc. and it makes my son feel good that I make "special" food that everyone likes that really is for him. He's really into popcorn now too. We've been experimenting with different flavors and seasonings to put on it. Sugar, cinnamon, chocolate chips, garlic powder - he likes all of these.

Good luck!

I have a 12YO son that is lactose intolerant but not gluten-free. He eats sorbets (you would have to check for ones that are gluten-free) for desert. That seems to have eased the "pain" of giving up a food he ate at every meal plus all the stuff in between. Hoping we don't have to go gluten-free yet too but I think that is coming...

And, like most of us, the longer he is LF, and he has something with regular milk, the more severe his symptoms which helps him stay away from milk products. He cannot even handle the hard cheeses (cheddar) like many people can BUT he is OK with lactaid milk so I am not worried about casien intolerance yet.

If he's just lactose intolerant (not casein intolerant), then he can use lactaid (the lactase enzyme) to still be able to have milk, unless he's REALLY REALLY intolerant. And in that case, there's still an awful lot of other foods out there he can have, you'll just have to start experimenting and trying a lot of new foods.

I live nearby and have spoken with the owners. They are quire serious about dairy free, and gluten free as well.

My children are allergic to milk, eggs, and all nuts. I can't have any milk or gluten and their under diagnosis for celiac, but are still gluten-free at this time. We haven't run into any issues with their candies yet.

Also, the allergy grocer has several good candies as well:

Their all expensive, but it's worth it for their smiles :)

There are so many things he still can eat. I've a 2 year old celiac and lactose intolerance and a 7 year old who has PDD NOS...for these children Gluten are also poisson and milk also so we try to keep him on the same stuff his brother gets and for everything i normally use milk in it i now use soya or goatmilk and there are really a lot of things you can make like that or buy. A lot of people has both the problems and the lactose intollerancy can be for a couple of years. I really hope so.

For my PDD son not eating gluten and milk worked out great for a lot of other things so when he noticed that he will find out himself that he is feeling much better!

Good luck

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and specu...

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying...

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs...

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and speculate now: The lab ranges we all see on our reports are more or less the averages of Americans who have had those blood tests. Now, it’s up to you and me whether or not to think of the average American as healthy. I can make arguments both ways, more often than not, on the negative. My point here is that maybe the current range of HDL is somewhat skewed (ie, low), and maybe just maybe my super high (plus 100s) HDL results are not something to worry about; the range just needs updating. Why do I say this? Because pre-celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL values were in the normal range, but post celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL levels are way above average. See where I’m going? My trusty guidebook on celiac disease, Recognizing Celiac Disease by Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN, says that HDL increases after being on the gluten free diet. Or can increase, I guess. Then again, it could be something else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In thinking of going to a cardiologist, I sort of fear that he/she will be dismissive of a link to celiac disease, treated celiac disease, and would not therefore be considering all possibilities. @trents I'm sorry you've been diligently working on your numbers to no effect. That must be frustrating. LDL is a world that is far better understood than HDL, so for you there's maybe less "mystery." Familial hypercholesterolemia is for sure something that can be tested. Outside of that, you're right, genetics can determine a general pattern.

Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.
