Thank you both so much for the advice. I have seen a lactation consultant and she does not think it is a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance but I did think of that. She tested my breastmilk and at the beginning of a feeding it has more fat than most formulas on the market.

I have stopped eating the chips so will see if that helps. I did notice that Rice Dreams said it contained gluten and I am using Pacific which states that it is gluten free. It is so hard as I do not have the reaction to the food to tell what could be causing it. I stopped buying bulk rice flour because I realized the risk of cc was incredibly high and that could be part of the problem. I am also taking the entire house gluten-free which is not making my husband very happy but I hope it will help.

Thank you both again. : :)

He can join my hubby....no really tell him he will pretty much eat the same ol stuff he normally eats (chicken,steak,pork..etc). I would allow him to have his own shelf in the cabnit with a few gluten foods that he can only have to take to work or when the kids are in bed. My hubby has on his shelf cookies, granola bars and cereal. My hubby basically only eats gluten free at home, but for his work lunch we still have regular bread. It takes time but the kids catch on and don't even ask for dady's bread or snacks. The hardest part is eatting out and my son wanting to sample off Daddy's plate when he has a gluten meal.

Same here with my hubby. He knew we had to do this for the kids, but he wanted to have his goodies too. He is my junk food eater and the kids loved him for it befor gluten-free. He had his stash in the bedroom and at night when the kids were off to bed he ate then. :rolleyes: In front of me who had to go gluten free also. Thats ok don't like sweets at all. give me fruit and i am happy as a little kid. B) I had so much stomic problems as a kid that candy and other sweets hurt me. Know I know why now but to this day I dont eat sweets and my 2 of my kids are the same. Ice cream they only eat two spoons fulls and thats that. but just understand it is hard on the men giving up foods just give them a spot to put it. my dh still has problems giving the kids stuff that could have gluten in it but it is a not on purpous and he has cried over glutenize the kids. I am the one that does all the food prep and shopping and still teaching him how to read lables. but when he takes the kids out for daddy time he loves to get them candy and thats when it happens. so now he makes them wait to come home so mommy can read the lable. So I become the meany. :blink: Well hope this give you a laugh Got to look at the light side of life and laugh or you just cry all the time. :P

Your baby is 5 mo. old, right? Mine were both teething at that time. Could there be any cross-contamination with items your child is teething on? My kids put their mouths on everything, when they were teething: the handle of a grocery cart, the back of their high chair, daddy's shoe, you name it! Gross, huh?

What about Grandma and Dad... could they be accidentally cross-contaminating? Sneaking gluten treats in, because they don't understand what celiac is all about? We had those issues at our house, so everyone in my family got a copy of Dana Korn's Kids With Celiac Disease for Christmas this past year.

Most importantly, when you're the mom in charge of a kid with celiac, it's sometimes very exhausting. Heck, just nursing a healthy non-celiac kid is exhausting, right?! But don't give up. It get's easier. It really does...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      @glucel, I agree with @trents.  You can still do the AIP diet while taking aspirin.   I'm one of those very sensitive to pharmaceuticals and have gotten side affects from simple aspirin.  Cardiac conduction abnormalities and atrial arrhythmias associated with salicylate toxicity https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3952006/ Another part of the problem is that those drugs, aspirin and warfarin, as well as others, can cause nutritional deficiencies.  Pharmaceuticals can affect the absorption and the excretion of essential vitamins, (especially the eight B vitamins) and minerals.   Potential Drug–Nutrient Interactions of 45 Vitamins, Minerals, Trace Elements, and Associated Dietary Compounds with Acetylsalicylic Acid and Warfarin—A Review of the Literature https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11013948/   Aspirin causes a higher rate of excretion of Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine deficiency can cause tachycardia, bradycardia, and other heart problems.  Other vitamins and minerals, like magnesium, are affected, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Without sufficient Thiamine and magnesium and other essential nutrients our health can deteriorate over time.  The clinical symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are subtle, can easily be contributed to other causes, and go undiagnosed because few doctors recognize Thiamine deficiency disorders. Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/ Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals.  Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals can boost absorption.   Our bodies cannot make vitamins and minerals.  We must get them from our diet.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other B vitamins.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts. You would be better off supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals than taking herbal remedies.  Turmeric is known to lower blood pressure.  If you already have low blood pressure, taking turmeric would lower it further. Curcumin/turmeric supplementation could improve blood pressure and endothelial function: A grade-assessed systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38220376/ I've taken Benfotiamine for ten years without any side effects, just better health.

      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.

      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

      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.

      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.
