Are These Symptoms ?

I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity in April and I am off gluten since.

A lot of things have improved and keep improving, and I am very thankful for it.

The more I think about it the more I am concerned my daughter (2 and a half) might have gluten issues too. Her regular allergy test, which also screened for gluten came back negative.

I send out her stuhl to Enterolab today to have it tested. Then I probably know for sure.

Here are her symptoms: What do you think?

as baby: borderline colic

nursed her 15 months (she would never take formula)

did not like to eat solids much, feedings always took about an hour

never slept more than 45 minutes as a baby

today: never initiates eating

have to put everything in her mouth

feedings still take 30 minutes

eats mainly vegetables, fruits, chicken, ice cream

does not like cocolate, crackers, bread, candy, or junk food

never eats much of one item

likes to drink a lot of regular milk

naps are about an hour, never longer

clingy

has always been in the 5 percentile concerning her weight distribution

She also often wakes up after having slept for about 50 minutes and it seems like she tries to swallow something that came up from her stomach. Then she is in this half awake/ half asleep stage, where she does not respond to me. She cries and kicks for about 10 minutes and then falls back to sleep. This also happend a lot when she was a baby.

Well, you may be on to something. She could also be intolerant to dairy. That she loves milk so much is a dead giveaway, usually people LOVE whatever they are most allergic to. Try cutting out dairy and see if that makes a difference.

The best thing would be to try one thing at a time, otherwise you won't know what worked. So, maybe dairy first, and gluten a couple of weeks later.

If you see a marked difference, you have your answer.

All the best!

your daughter's symptoms sound an awful lot like GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) to me.

Hi

I was also thinking about reflux...both my kids suffer from reflux

Check out infantrefluxdisease.com for more information

It might be a combo of reflux plua celaic or a food allergy/intolerance

      Conflicting results

      By Jy11 · Posted

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Pasballard · Posted

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
