I'm Tired Of Living Like This....

It is hard - my 11 year old has recently (within 2 months) been diagnosed with Celiac....and he has absolutely NO symptoms of the disease. From his biopsy, they said his villae (forgive me if I don't spell these words correctly), but anyway, these were just not standing straight up as they should be in his small intestine but more just kinda drooping. Of course this was from the dietician who shared the report with me...the dr, who is a pediatric dr. just said you have Celiacs, go 100% gluten free, and see a dietician. WOW what a shocker. My son also has juvenile diabetes. I'm still somewhat in the angry and frustrated and in the BS stage, but I'm coming out of it. We are working to try different breads, because that's the hard one for us. He likes the good ol' white bread for his lunches at school. I think I've made 4 loaves of bread in the past few days that end up in the garbage.....Plus eating out...the driving through McDonalds cuz we are out and about and need to eat. I wish it was me...I could easily live without McDonalds, Pizza Hut, etc. Just heartbreaking to think of it for my son for the rest of his life. But as I tell my son and myself, he's a perfectly healthy little boy, can still do his sports, and this is just a little hurdle in life we have to jump.

So, with my son not having any symptoms and no complications from eating wheat...it is hard to change your lifestyle. But I've been going out on the board a lot lately and reading and trying to consume my life with it's ok, we can do this thinking instead of the poor me.

I do have to say, that I have noticed in the last several days, that my son is much more happier. He's always been a short tempered type of a little guy which I always blamed on his father's side of the family (haha), but I am beginning to think it was the gluten causing the emotional turmoil in his life. I'm really anxious to see if his grades improve in school also.

I have to say tho, it's nice to see that other people get angry, and frustrated at times...cuz it makes me feel like it's ok to be angry once in awhile.

I am so sorry your little guy has to go through so much, but I agree, it is sooo good you have caught it now. My son has type 1 diabetes as well-since age 9. He is now 21 and refuses to listen to anything about celiac. I am so afraid he has it-he has many symptoms of it-gas, bloating, occasional sudden D, rashes, but he is so fed up with drs. and the diabetes care that he just can't accept that there may be something yet again to deal with. I live in fear for him. Take care all of you and glad we at least have this board to come to when we need support. Shai--vent away, it really does help!

Dear Confused in Iowa: Welcome to the board! Ranting is what we do best sometimes :lol::lol: Celiac is an autoimmune disease, and quite frequently goes hand in hand with diabetes and other autoimmune diseases, as well. I am so sorry for your son -- and you. What a challenge. Not only struggling with the diabetes, but NOW with another dietary restriction. You have every right to be angry, frustrated and I think, exhausted! I wish you luck, I'll say a few prayers for you if that's Okay, and know that you are NOT alone. This board has on it some of the finest people you will ever meet. They are intelligent, informed, constantly seeking out information in addition to being kind, compassionate and bust-a-gut funny!!! You've come to the right place.

I'm sure I'm not pregnant. Besides, my nausea was much much worse with pregnancy. I have been a little stressed lately, which could also have an impact on it.

And definitly forget the eggs! They make me super sick!

The only medicine I take is nexium. My doctor doesn't like prescribing too much since I have so many allergies to foods and drugs. I have to be really careful. I've taken anti-nausea medicine a long time ago and it caused severe depression for me. It was compazine. I've been kind of scared of them since.

Hmmm I can't take Nexium because I'm a poster child for the adverse reactions (even though it works very well for me) but I can take generic omeprazole??????

However just as importantly I no longer need to take either.

I think this is 80% being gluten-free but I also have an extra secret weapon which I use when I need that bit extra which is food combining. I really suggest you give it a try because it really helped me and one thing I do after an accidental glutening is food combining and I find it helps me settle my stomach and digestive system faster.

I first read a book called "Fit for Life" and to be honest they are a bit over enthusiatic for me (in a Venice beath sorta way) and later found a book called "The Kensington diet" ..

p.s. I was put on the Nexium "to give my stomach a rest" but I find that the diet works much better and I don't get all the side effects!

Hey, gfp, I tried to go off Nexium, and it was a disaster (and I'd been gluten-free for 7 onths). I'd been on 40 milligrams; I was hoping I could take Zantac in small amounts if necessary, but that didn't begin to cover the major acid reflux that came back, so I reluctantly went back on Nexium. The darn stuff comes in a capsule, so there's no way to wean off. Do you have any specific advice for me?

shai76 Explorer

I even had reflux while gluten free. I get serious breathing problems from it since I've been a life long sufferer. My son has it, my mom does,a nd bothmy sisters! I will probably be onthe nexium as long as it keeps working. Though I haven't noticed any side effects. What sort of side effects can it cause?

Yeah I am OK with the generic omneparazole ... its a tiny different to Nexium (just how the molecule is bound if I remember) .. problem is Nexium is so expensive you don't wanna just throw it out.. the generic stuff isn't much cheaper either but it doesn't give me anywhere near the same adverse reactions (basically all over body headache, shoulders and spine as well as a thick head)

What sort of side effects can it cause?

There are a whole set but for me its an "allover headache" starting in the head being fuzzy (not like a migrane) but then extending into my shoulders and back... and a general overall nausia. (which is what made me think of you)

Here is the OFFICIAL list

I have to say though it works very well (knocks ranitidine on effectiveness)

For both of you I would also say give a food combining diet a try..... it worked for me from being in the panic attack unable to breath stage to quitting the drugs in a few weeks. Now if I get glutened I will start getting GERD back.... and I take a couple of omneparazole and then do strict food combining.... I really think it does help.

This is really interesting--I am great with Nexium, but Omeprazole doesn't really work for me. Neither does Ranitidine. What food combinations do you use?

Well food combining is a bit misleading, its more accuratly food non-combining...

Basically its seperating meals into high protein (acid digestion) and carbs (enzymic less acid) and not eating them at the same time.

You can google "Hay's diet" or grab a book.

I first read (on the advice of a friends wife with Chron's) Fit for Life.

To be honest I found it a bit too "hippy" (bearing in mind I'm pretty hippy myself) but i then found a UK book called "The Kensington diet" which was a bit more down to earth but really saying the same EXCEPT he recommends staying away from "problem foods" or eating them only 1 day a week...

Problem foods are what WE would think. Gluten, Dairy and Soy and this is how I first discovered my gluten problem.

I'd say give it a go.... but Im not sure if it will work as well with the acid inhitors since its "meant" to let your body produce the right amount naturally. Thing is its NOT going to hurt you :D even if it doesn't work for you....

Thanks for the list. I wonder if that's what is making my stomach hurt bad for days, even when gluten free, and it gets all swollen. I've had a sore swollen belly for going on 3 days straight without a break. I am planning on going to the doctor Monday if it's still there. :/

Its well worth testing and Nexium is massively over prescribed (IMHO). I had one GP practically wouldn't write me a script without adding it even if I didn't ask (dumped her)!

I think some people tolerate it better than omneparazole and others worse... but both of them take a few days to actually kick in fully.

iether way my GERD was really bad... I was having panick attacks not breathing and unable to sleep and 10 yrs or so ago before my celaic diagnosis and before omneparazole was invented I was told by my GI I would be taking ranitidine for life in massive doses. (500mg a day)

The ranitidine is not so effective and so I still had problems so I tried the Fit for Life out of desperation.

Even on the ranitidine I was loosing it... I once missed a flight because i wasunable to breath, puking and the pilot refused to take me (ironically on my way back to Europe for GI testing)

If I had the omneparazole or nexium I might never have go so desperate to try a quack cure like "fit for life" ...

Jeez, I just thought I lost touch with the person who gave this to me.... Im going to look her and her hubby up since he was a long term chron's sufferer.

So what I'm saying is please consider my prognosis about ranitidine was wrong... I thought I would never be off it and between gluten-free and occaisional food combining when I mess up (like drinking champagne and being glutened) I never touch or need drugs for this. I also lost a LOT of weight... which I'm sure helps.....

I've had reflux since birth and so has my son. He was on ranitidine at only a few weeks old, and then moved to prilosec twice a day at about 5 months and has been taking it since. They didn't have those meds when I was a kid. My mom would give me baking soda mixed with water. When I was a teenaged I would keep mylanta in my school locker and take swigs of it all day long. In college I was put on ranitidine, but that stopped working for me eventually (as it does for most). Then I was put on prilosec and it worked a little but not so great. I was also on protonix but had an allergic reaction to it. So my doctor thought he would try nexium, and it has helped me tremendously. I can breath normal now, and I'm not sick all the time. Before the nexium I would count how many times I refluxed and the highest I got was 37 times within a half hour of eating. I didn't barf a lot, but it would go up and down all day long. I have gastritis too, so there is that gnawing feeling in my stomach. I've had numerous scopes and bariumn swollows in my life, and my son is only 2 and has had 2 upper GIs and a scope. Ain't it wonderful he followed in my foot steps? :)

      Thanks for sharing, Karen. Certainly a needed reminder what we already knew (and I've posted many times on this forum) but sometimes forget, namely, autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. Where one is found, you can look for others to show up eventually. The thing that is unusual in your son's case is the onset of several of them at such a young age. My sister in law, who is in her early 60's has Crohn's and struggles with constipation so I don't think that is unusual with Crohn's. If nothing else, it's the outcome of not eating much because of the pain. Now that you know what is going on with your son and the Crohn's, we hope he is beginning to improve.
    • Nathan.
      Hi there. My son is turning 16 this month. He had an endoscopy and biopsy to confirm celiac. He went gluten-free and his pain never got any better. I think it got worse. Months went by. The pain started around 7th grade. He missed a lot of school in 8th grade, and a whole lot in 9th grade. He couldn't go to school in 10th grade. All along the gastroenterologist prescribed Hyoscyamine, didn't help at all. Cyproheptadine, no less pain. Peppermint oil, ginger, Miralax, Senna. Doc said he was constipated, but I couldn't get him to have Miralax daily. Eventually he went on Linzess and no senna or Miralax. Sorry this is long, there will be a point.  We gave his school not just a doctors not, but everything, and U of M makes a lot of notes. They still turned us in for Truancy.  I didn't get him enrolled in online school fast enough.  The school would not recommend an online school and i didn't know which one to choose.  Doc thought it was nerve pain and mental. He recommended the u of m my pain program.  Nathan did so good, 3 days a week supposed to be for 4 weeks.  Never missed, always on time.   After two weeks, they discharged him. Said it was not  benefitting him.  Pain went on. I had been asking if there were any other test they could do. Ultrasound, colonoscopy. Doc said we can do it, but I don't think we'll find anything.  Finally he had a colonoscopy and another endoscopy.  Guess what, they did find something. They found a ton of tiny ulcers everywhere, from the esophagus to his rectum. They think Crohn's. I understand they didn't check for that because he was more constipated, not much diarrhea. He is getting an MRI with contrast on Sunday. Also they want him to do a cal-protectin (give a poop sample). Then an appointment on the 16th to talk about treatment. Then the probation officer on the 17th. In the meantime he is taking Budesonide extended release.  $276.00 for 30 pills, and that's with insurance. Also he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, Graves disease a few months ago. If it is for sure Crohn's,  it will be three autoimmune diseases. If someone is gluten-free for a month or more, and the pain is no better, don't stop looking. I was beside myself. Did they think he was exaggerating, lying? I was considering taking him to a holistic doctor, who would probably recommend Peppermint oil and ginger.  He's such a good kid. Kind of an introvert. He was on the 9th grade soccer team. He would try to go to practice and kept having to stop, the pain was that bad. Every time he ate, it didn't matter what, gluten-free chicken tenders, mac and cheese, pizza, ice cream, all gluten-free, he would eat a normal amount but stop and say, I can't eat anymore, my stomach hurts.  If anyone reads all this, thank you. I had a gut feeling, no pun intended, that he had an additional problem. They found celiac and stopped looking. If you don't feel better, keep on your doctor to check further, keep looking.   Take care, Karen

      I think it takes different people different amounts of time, but in my own case I had pain,  bloating and loose stools for some time, exacerbated by a lactose intolerance, which eventually went.  I would say the really bad diarrhea got better quite quickly, but the bloating pain carried on for a few months, until I was told to give up lactose for a few weeks.  That helped enormously and once I realised milk and yoghurt was the cause, after a short break I went back to lactose very gradually and felt a lot better.  Now I can tolerate it well. From Coeliac UK "The enzyme lactase is found in the brush border of the small intestine. This is why people with coeliac disease can be deficient in lactase at diagnosis. Once established on a gluten free diet, the gut is able to heal and lactose digestion returns to normal. Lactose intolerance is therefore usually temporary." So if this helps your daughter, this doesn't mean you have to give up lactose forever, especially as dairy is such a good source of calcium for growing kids.   Bear in mind you should be able to reintroduce it. As for fatigue, this can be due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies,such as iron, vitamin D and B12.  Were these levels tested?  If not, I would suggest you get them done.  If your daughter is deficient in these, it is vital you address the deficiencies, and get the tests redone in a few months, particularly the iron, because too much can be dangerous.

      Hello,   The medication in these inhalers can cause a thiamine deficiency if used by someone already low in thiamine.  We don't absorb sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals due to the inflammation and damage done to our villi in Celiac Disease.  Even a long term strict gluten free diet may not provide sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals.  There are eight B vitamins that all work together.  Thiamine deficiency often shows up first because our bodies use so much of it and it can't be stored very long. Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  Without thiamine, the other B vitamins may not be able to function properly.   Thiamine is needed to clear lactic acid accumulation caused by the inhalers: Shoshin beriberi provoked by the inhalation of salbutamol https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12951730/    Significant Lactic Acidosis from Albuterol https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5965110/ Albuterol-Induced Type B Lactic Acidosis: Not an Uncommon Finding https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7263006/ Lessons of the month 1: Salbutamol induced lactic acidosis: clinically recognised but often forgotten https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6964186/ An Overview of Type B Lactic Acidosis Due to Thiamine (B1) Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10731935/   Thiamine has antifungal and antibacterial properties.  Thiamine helps keep Candida in check.  Thiamine helps keep SIBO in check.  Thiamine helps with black mold, Aspergillis infection.  Riboflavin helps fight Candida infection in the mouth.

Blood tests are not accurate measurements of vitamin levels, but do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with the eight B vitamins, Vitamin C, the four fat soluble vitamins and minerals like magnesium.  Your physician can give you a shot of B12 before anesthesia administration.   By the way, Celiac Disease genes have been traced back to having originated in Neanderthals.  I'm not a singing teacher on the net.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins are doing inside the body.  I've experienced nutritional deficiencies myself.
