I've seen several posts where kids are getting EO 28 and I was wondering if someone could please tell me what it is and what it does for Celiac kids? Thx!

My son is on EO28 Splash. It is for children who have issues getting vits the normal way. The box says its for kids ages 1-10 who have GI impairment, EE, reflux, short bowel syndrome and other medical conditons for which an amino acid based diet is required. Its hypoallergenic and gluten and casien free. My sons dietation recommended it because my son is still having a hard time getting the calories and vits needed to grow. He is only taking in around 900 calories and he needs atleast 1200. Its a formula that is flavored and broken down for easy digestion, so that the small intestine does not have to work so hard to digest it. If you google EO28 Splash you will come up with the main website that explains more about its products. It has worked wonders in 10 days for my son. He finally began to get his 2 yr molar. I was beginning to think he did not have them. He has more energy and is not eating like he is starving anymore - he is eating more like a normal kid - 3 main meals and 2 or three snacks. Before, he ate all the time - about 1 lb of pasta a day. By the way, it is very expensive.

Thank you Bear for the response. I will google it and check it out. My 5 yo eats tons of fresh veggies/fruits/meat but what good is it if he is not getting it absorbed? And he has not seen any weight/height change since being gluten free in Jan.

My son grew after going gluten free - 5" but he only gained one pound. In all reality he lost weight. He is not on the growth chart. He also has EE and refuses to eat meat. We just had blood work done and his liver enzymes are through the room still and the ultrasound showed his liver at 13 cm (the size of an adults). He has also become hypoglycemic. They are doing a liver biopsy next friday to see what is goin on. They are trying to diagnose him with another disease cause glycogen storage disease. If he is diagnosed with it he can not have any type of table sugar, fruit or any dairy products. I think his symptoms are from malnutrition. His belly has gotten much smaller and his blood sugar levels after 5 hours are now in the normal range. My son eats a lot of pasta and corn, but no fruits (bananas only) and no other veggies. The stuff tastes really bad, so I mix it with crystal light. If you do order it make sure a dietition tells you how much to give him - it goes by body weight. Also, I noticed that dairy gives my son some of the same symptoms as celiacs so we have really limited that. Hope this helps you!

I hope and pray you get some good news on your kiddo. Thanks again for the info, it does help. My son has his 3 month gluten free repeat bloodwork in two weeks, if we have any problems we are heading to a dietician as I have the opposite problem....this boy loves his good food (he is the ONLY one of my three and while I hate his diagnosis he sure makes it easy)!

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
