Welcome to the forum! As overwhelming as a Celiac diagnosis is....I know I couldn't have made it through the first year without the support and knowledge of the posters here. Just take it a step at a time and before you know it...this will all be second nature to you.

As far as yeast goes....most baking yeast is gluten-free (like the Red Star brand). Nutritional yeast is also usually okay. Where things get tricky is with brewer's yeast. THAT may not be gluten-free. But as that's a supplement...you shouldn't have to worry much on that score.

Keep in mind that people with Celiac often have multiple sensitivities occurring. Yeast (baking) happens to be a common one. If your son should be sensitive, it isn't because of gluten, but because he has a separate sensitivity. It's something to watch for as it's important to recognize a gluten reaction vs. a reaction from another sensitivity.

Keep a food journal. Your son may have other food sensitivities and it could help pinpoint any gluten mistakes in products.

Detail the food intake & time

Do a mood check, any symptoms

next keep track of BM or vomitting

Now you need to keep a gluten fre snack and treat bag. You are going to realize how much kids are rewarded with treats. i.e. a sucker at the bank or a cookie sample at the store. Make sure your child feels like he's not being punished for having Celiac, because there are plenty of good gluten free foods to eat.

I don't suggest running out and buying all gluten free specialty food replacements like pizza at first because it does take some time for taste to adjust. Check out some of the past posts for some favorite gluten free products or you could waste your money on some pretty yucky stuff.

This site can get you through the early learning days.

Since it is summer, that means it smores at the campfire time, use to gluten-free chocolate chip cookies in place of the graham crackers. I still haven't found a reasonable taste and price replacement for graham crackers.

Charlotte is 16mths now - 18lb. Failure to thrive, horrendous diarrhoea and low iron. She can be rather irritable but it`s very hard to know with such a young child if there is pain and where it is.

I just don`t know. Maybe I`m barking up the wrong tree completely!!?? Been gluten free for 3 days now but not sure how soon we`ll notice any change (if any)

My daughter was diagnosed when she was 17 months old. She is 6 now.

Symptoms sound the same. Just remember that little tummy is damaged pretty bad and try and keep to a gentle on the tummy diet foods. I remember one thing that was suggested was avacados. She wouldn't eat them, still won't eat 'em.

This is HUGE advice. Get your gluten free snacks and treats and keep them on hand at all times.

Lex was very irritable and screamed in pain all the time. Her symptoms are the same as Lex. We noticed a change about 4 days

Yeah - it`s the treats and snacks that she`s looking for. I`ll have to stock up cos my other 2 daughters are getting treats and Charlotte`s are so limited. Thanks

Why Lowry's. We have been using it! I do not see anything in the ingrediants. Am I missing someting. My son is having lots of pain. We are so new to this. I hate that I may be causing him to hurt worse.

      Delayed reaction

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest that something else is contributing to your discomfort. Cross-contamination is a common challenge, especially when dining out, and it's great that you're doing your best to stay gluten-free. However, the inconsistency of your symptoms and the long delay between exposure and reaction could warrant further investigation. It's possible that another gastrointestinal condition, such as IBS, a food intolerance, or a reaction to something else in your diet, might be contributing to your symptoms. You might consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary to identify potential patterns or triggers. Additionally, consulting your gastroenterologist could provide clarity. They may suggest testing to rule out other issues, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), microscopic colitis, or other sensitivities. If you suspect cross-contamination is a significant issue, you could also ask for follow-up bloodwork (e.g., tTG-IgA) to check if your antibodies are elevated, which might indicate ongoing gluten exposure.

      Enegy level extremely low

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No cure so far, and a treatment might still be years away. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure the article would be misleading, as it offers many different avenues to pursue for those with ongoing symptoms. The recommendation to keep a food diary and remove common food intolerance triggers would be a good way to discover issues with casein/milk, especially if you added that back to your diet after a couple of months and your symptoms returned. Many additional food intolerance issues can be permanent in some people.
