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.

I tried it tonight. And it didn't go over well.

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.

      Inhaler problem

      By Iris Kraft · Posted

      I do not use menthol lozenge, but I have found a brand of oral probiotics that has same ingredients as Prodentim but without spending $50  bottle. I bought Naturewise Oral probiotics from Amazon at $29 a bottle for 50 chewables instead of the 30 qty. The Simbicort upset the bacteria is my mouth, had white tongue and created a dental problem with a tooth, plus the inflammation in throat, vocal cords. Used the chewable and rested it along the gum where tooth hurts 4 x on Monday. Tuesday, went to dentist and she looked at what I thought was my problem tooth and she said all looked pink and happy. No problem.  Also, I spoke with my Allergist and he said instead of two puffs am and pm, try one puff only in am.Can always add one puff in PM if needed. Rinse mouth twice and gargle twice, and brush tongue. Use the Rescue inhaler Albuterol if needed (which I didn't need to). Know that Flucasolone, Simbicort, Advair are interchangeable.

      Inhaler problem

      By Ann13 · Posted

      I have the exact same symptoms for a couple of wks now but I've been taking Symbicort for quite awhile at this point. I read you can get yeast infection in the vocal cords so I may ask my Dr. for antifungal meds cos I cant wait for an ENT exam. Also read on this site the connection between Vit D and K2 deficiency and asthma...doesn't apply to me cos mine is from mold in a house years ago but still might try and see if my asthma improves. I am Celiac and gluten causes the same symptoms but it says this inhaler is gluten free and it only started acting up so that option is out. I use Ventolin on occasion but using that for many many years. For me I will see if can switch inhalers to a brand that doesn't affect vocal cords as much, Advair is NOT one of them, plus will try the supplements. Do not suck on menthol lozenges cos menthol dries out cords more...sleeping elevated and sucking on ice chips gets the swelling down...at night this can really help especially. I can't continue like this so will get on everything this coming week.

      Just diagnosed with Celiac! Scared and feel alone.

      By Rhenriksen · Posted

      Did a little more research just now and found out that even though the max methane should not exceed 10. It is normal to be around 3 and not rise. Again, I was at 13 so this does make me a bit suspicious. This was done back in May of 2024. I do recall being put on 14 day Antibiotic called Rifaximin but I'm really not sure if it made a difference, but if it did, then the problems still came back:(

      I did a SIBO Test about a year ago, and I barely elevated on the Methane portion (max was 10 and I hit 13). Dr wasn't too concerned.

      Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)?  Also, MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance (they go together like a hand and glove).  Both of the above are common in the celiac community.
