Hi everyone.

I'm not new to this site, I have celiac disease. I need info for a friend of a friend.

The boy is 2 and was just dianosed. Please give me the best links, topics, websites, etc... This girl has turned to me for help and I plan on sending her here, but first I need to get her started.

Again, I have celiac disease but I don't have kids, therefor, I have no idea how to help a 2 year old. I don't even know what stage of foods they eat. I really am clueless when it comes to kids. :huh:

I know, it's pathetic.

Please help

Hi and Welcome!

my 7 year old daughter was recently diagnosed, so i know how incredibly overwhelming it can be! the main website that comes to mind is R.O.C.K.- Raising Our Celiac Kids. they should have some very useful information for your friend, they are a support group as well. also, right where you are is hands down the most informative and supportive place to come! any time i need anything this is where i come, the people here are simply amazing! i would be lost without this website and community, i was refered here by my daughter's pediatric GI, it was one of many great things she has done for my daughter! anything you or your friend needs, don't hesitate to ask, I've learned there is no such thing as tmi here lol! good luck and best wishes~K

Thanks for that website.

I just wanted to clarify that I am not new here. I use this forum so much it's ridiculous.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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.
