Hi, Suspect Cd

Hi. My name is Jennifer. I have a 2.5 year old son who I think might have this. Let me give you a little back ground info.

Brayden has always been a "sick" child. He has had ear infection on top of ear infection. Finally at 1 year of age, we had tubes placed. Which are still there today. Going on two years! Unusual to say the least. This cured the EI problems, for the most part, but not others. At 9 months of age he was yanked off formula totally and put on regualr soy milk. We saw a slight improvement with the "reflux." Since one year of age we have had three to four different EI's, Exzema, and numerous cases of conjunctivitis. I realized a deeper problem was the underlying cause of all this. I had him allergy tested at 2 years of age. He came back with a 0/1 or 1 on most of the seasonal and envior. allergens. However, his IgE score was way above a normal one. So, I had them run the foods. RAST Test. The Dr. called me back as soon as he got the reults. His advise get him off dairy..ASAP! He told me he was also allergic to wheat, egg white and coconut. But I did not need to difcontinue use of them. About 6 months ago, right after we got Brayden off the dairy, I noticed his stools were very loose and stinky. I chalked that up to the fact he was stricly on soy products now. Then, I noticed that he had watery, mucosy stools every 3-4 days. That has since progressed to him vomitting and now severe stomach cramping. I called the ENT/Allergist and he referred me to a pedi GI. At first he was reluctant to do it as he thoguht Bray had a bug. But, I have told him, D does not last for months and months. So, he told me to scale back on the wheat and Gluten, and he will make an appt. with the GI specialist.

So, last nite, I gave him some chicken tenders, they had wheat in them. With in 1 hour he was having cramps and the big D. He even paces and cries now. I am sure that he has this, or some form of a gluten protein allergy or disease. I just want my normal happy child back. Then one I lost when he was 9 weeks old. LOL!!!

I am not sure if I should take him compltetely off gluten, as we have not seen the specialist, or wait till after they do blood work to see. I hate the fact that I am putting him in pain when I have an idea, very good one, of what is causing it. He won't even go to the potty anymore b/c of this.

Also, his behviour....OMG.....it is awful. And not, it is not normal 2 year old behviour. He bites for no reason at all. I had thought that maybe he was Autistic b/c of the biting social interaction, etc. But, I am thinking he is biting b/c he is in pain and does not want to be messed with.

Thank you for "listening", and please, share experiences with me. Let me know if I am way off base, or have hit the nail on the head! Thanks! :)

If you want the best shot at accurate tests for celiac do NOT take him off gluten. See if somebody will run the blood tests immediately. All they have to do is take blood and send it to a lab that does the celiac panel. Your regular doctor could do this.

It certainly sounds like he could have it.

Yep, it sounds like it BIG TIME!! Poor baby! Tell your doctor you want the tests done immediately. There is no excuse for the testing process to be dragged out. Keep harping at your doctor, if you have to. Your son's health is at stake!

Thank you. I will be calling the Dr. today. I gave him some toast this morning....before coming here. sitter just called. He was in the back ground screaming in pain saying his tummy hurt. She made a comment on how bloated his tummy is. She said he had a super stinky BM and was pacing. I told her he is gonna have anotehr one, and sure enough, while on the phone with me, he did. He poots, and bam, the smell hits you, and he had a loose, mucousy stool, that stink to hi heaven, and he is fine. However, he won't eat now cuz he says it make shim sick.

It i slike this has been building up, and now all of a sudden, I can't stop it. However, I got y'alls list....I was lurking through soem post's, and have it printed off. One for me, one for the istter, and one for his Step Mother. Yes, I am single! LOL!! :)

Thanks!

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification. In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate...

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process.

I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those...

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation...

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation process, after the distillation process, the vinegar is still cross contaminated. Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.
