I Need Documentation Of Possible Symptoms

My husband has celiac, I might and the baby has two genes for gluten sensitivity. Aimee ( the baby) has had trouble growing from the time she was in the womb. She is breastfed and her doctor has recommended that she be breastfed until she is at least 3 because she is casein sensitive. Milk fat is needed for brain development until age 3. She is 22 mo. old now. I have heard some reference to children having trouble with speech as a result of not growing because of Celiac but it has all been somewhat vague and only mentioned as a side issue. I need more information on this. Aimee is as sharp as a tack, she uses baby signs for a lot of her communication and she says some words but no sentences. She does not put two ideas together in word form. I have been concerned for some time because her speech does not match her intelligence level. Experts in child development are now confirming that she has a significant delay in the area of speech.

My question? Where can I find documentation that her speech problem could be a result of the gluten sensitivity.

Also, I have not heard much about casein sensitivity and the effects it may have had. Where can I find more about that?

Any one who has experiance or info in these areas?

I don'thave documentation, but my son has had the same symptoms and was allergic to milk too. His speech and walking were delayed, but he's very intelligent. We're probably going to have to start speech therapy soon. Are you gluten and casien free while nursing? I'm nursing my daughter now and have to avoid both of these and eggs for her.

Yes, both Aimee and I have been gluten and casein free for a few months now. After about a month on this diet she started saying more words and has been less fussy. I am becoming a single parent and am struggling with the need to make a living and to keep Aimee home and safe from gluten/casein. Because of the extreme expense of the diet and having no support from husband I am trying to get Aimee on SSI. That is why I am looking for documentation. Has anyone here ever tryed to get on SSI and if so were you successful?

      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.
