Coincidence, My Imagination Or What?

My daughter is almost one and has been on a gluten free diet since the end of October. First 6 weeks were great. Total change in personality, weight gain etc. Then a plateau. I decided that I should go gluten-free as well since we are still BF. Within a few days she was miserable again. It has been almost 2 weeks since I went gluten-free and she's back to her old grouchy self. She also just got a cold the other day so it is 10X worse. We are waiting to see a ped. GI at some point so I decided to go back to eating Gluten since it didn't seem to be helping. I've eaten gluten for 2 days now and DD is starting to improve. She still is not eating much at all which leads me to believe she still has some discomfort from something.

What is going on? Is this just a coincidence? I am going back to work in 3 weeks and she is starting daycare on Tuesday and I'm totally freaked out because I can't get her to eat anything. I'm trying to wean her but since she isn't eating I'm BF more!

      Thanks. I ve joined coeliac uk but found them particularly unhelpful - they told me to eat gluten for 6 weeks then have an endoscopy! I m actually a retired hospital dietician so pretty well know what I m doing…… Louise

      You are very welcome.😊 Do keep posting if we can help any further, and also if you aren't a member already I would recommend joining Coeliac UK if only for one year - they produce a very good gluten-free food and drink guide, a printed copy and also an app you can use on a smartphone which I am told is very helpful when one shops. I think the one th...

      Hey all!

      Thank you! I’m currently the breadwinner as my husband is pursuing a finance degree so the nights that I am at work they can eat whatever my husband makes but when I am home we have gluten free meals and no complaints so far! I definitely don’t have a choice but to switch but I think slowly transitioning my family is good!😀

      Hey all!

      Welcome aboard, @Savannah Wert! There usually is a learning curve involved in arriving at a consistently gluten free diet since gluten is found in so many food products where you would never expect it to be. This article may be helpful: It is good that you have identified some other foods that you cannot tolerate at this point as this is so common...

I think the one thing I would say is be extra vigilant when eating out.  Never feel afraid to question the service staff.  I think most of my glutenings have happened away from the home.

      Welcome aboard, @Savannah Wert! There usually is a learning curve involved in arriving at a consistently gluten free diet since gluten is found in so many food products where you would never expect it to be. This article may be helpful:  It is good that you have identified some other foods that you cannot tolerate at this point as this is so common in the celiac population and it often goes unaddressed for years. You may find that the lactose intolerance disappears as your gut heals. No guarantee, though. Keep an eye out for the development of celiac symptoms in your children as the likelihood of first degree relatives developing active celiac disease is somewhere between 10% and almost 50%. Yes, the studies on this are all over the map. Is your home gluten free or will you be attempting to avoid CC (Cross Contamination) while fixing gluten-containing foods for your family members? It is always best for everyone in the home to commit to gluten free eating in the home environment when one member has celiac disease.
