ok my 8yr dd had her endoscop and colonoscopy done today and they ruled out crohns

but we wont have the biopsy results back for a few days to a week

they did find grade 4 errosion of her esophgus and some gastrist in her stomach

can that be related to celiacs? or is that seperate issues altogether

another thing i am shocked about is they are testing her for crohns and celiac but as she came to they offered her nothing but glutton

what if she was celiac they had only chex mix, gold fisha nd grammy bears for her to eat arghhhhhhhh

i said she cant have those they make her stomach hurt they were surprised and said well thats all we have

and this is a childrens hospital right before she went in a little 3yrold was having his scope done and had a huge post on his celiac blood panel so i

wonder if they fed him glutton too

:(

when nicole went in for her scope they found she also has gastritis and esophagitis also she is on prevacid now and doing great with it. When she woke up they just offered her a popsicle because they dont really want them to eat alot or heavy for a while. Maybe they figure since you don't know yet what does it matter. But it does matter especially if it hurts them. Nicole came back celiac even though they couldn't see it before the biopsy results came back.

I hope all goes well for you now on.

My son has duodentitis and is on Nexium...works well.

We had that experience too at a Childrens hospital - offered a sandwich :blink:

When Kathryn was reovering form her appendectomy - she had nothing to eat for 2 days because she was sick (vomiting) then had surgery...offered her jello the first day and then - get this - her first real food is not rice or soup or someting easy to digest. Kathryn said it almost made her sick looking at it - a huge plate with 2 pieces of chicken, fries (which no one knew if they were cross contaminated), and carrots. Kathryn refused it all because the fries had touched the other food on the plate. She was labeled as "difficult eater"

Any time a hospital stay is involved, I throw in some handy "stand bys" of gluten free products.

Reflux is one of my main symptoms when I'm glutened. I had surgery for it when I was 10 but it came back. Now that I'm gluten-free I only get reflux if I eat gluten. Even a crumb will make me reflux for about 3 weeks. You may find that after she goes gluten-free the reflux will go away over time.

It is crazy that hospitals offer food that you can't eat. I told my doctor that I suspected celiac and went gluten-free. They sent me in for a test where they watch you swallow a bagel and marshmallow. I brought my own gluten-free bagel because they would have expected me to eat a gluten filled bagel if I hadn't. I'm pregnant and decided that I'm bringing my food from home for when I'm in the hospital. Too many people here had horror stories about what the hospitals fed them.

Good luck and hope she feels better!

Hi! I am so sorry for this. I am sure she feels aweful!! Reflux has taken a tole on our lives! My son who is 12 months has horrible reflux that has caused breathing problems, laryangomalatia, unalbe to swallow foods, pnuemonias, apnea spells, severe esophagitis... ya he has had it bad.

My daughter has celiac and so they will be testing him for that but they haven't done it yet. I am only nursing him and they are talking about a feeding tube right now. I didn't really know until recently that gluten went through breast milk and I have had a hard time with my digestive system since he was born. I have gone off gluten for about a week now but no change yet. Maybe he will turn around.

I hope she feels better soon!!!

      Muscle atrophy in legs

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Polymyositis is a rare autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack your muscles. Any autoimmune disease is associated with low vitamin D.   Even as a kid I had weak legs.  Now I feel the burn just walking to the mailbox. A case-control study found that patients with polymyositis (PM) had higher lactate levels at rest and after exercise, indicating impaired muscle oxidative efficiency. The study also found that an aerobic training program reduced lactate levels and improved muscle performance.

      2 months in... struggling with symptoms

      Micronutrient Inadequacies in the US Population "A US national survey, NHANES 2007-2010, which surveyed 16,444 individuals four years and older, reported a high prevalence of inadequacies for multiple micronutrients (see Table 1). Specifically, 94.3% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D, 88.5% for vitamin E, 52.2% for magnesium, 44.1% for calcium, 43.0% for vitamin A, and 38.9% for vitamin C. For the nutrients in which a requirement has not been set, 100% of the population had intakes lower than the AI for potassium, 91.7% for choline, and 66.9% for vitamin K. The prevalence of inadequacies was low for all of the B vitamins and several minerals, including copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc (see Table 1). Moreover, more than 97% of the population had excessive intakes of sodium, defined as daily intakes greater than the age-specific UL" My Supplements: Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg  (Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels in the body decrease steadily with age, reaching 10–20% of young adult levels by age 70. DHEA is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that the body uses to create androgens and estrogens.) 500 mcg Iodine 10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg Selenium twice a week 200 mcg

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      The paleo diet is based on the idea that the human body evolved to consume a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and that the modern diet is out of balance. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1–4:1, while the modern diet is closer to 20:1–40:1. The paleo diet aims to restore this balance.

      Hey all!

      Best thing you can do for them! First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease. Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet.   Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental problems in children, including implications on reproductive functions and lowering of IQ levels in school-aged children. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population.

      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
