What To Expect When "glutened"?

Any ideas what I can expect and when? DS has been gluten-free for 2 months now. What should I look out for? He's already been up screaming 3 times in 4 hours. I am so sad and angry.

Also, we were suppose to get blood work done 6 months after going gluten-free. Do you think they'll want to push that back?

Thanks for all the help people! Really. I have tried to help others here and get nothing when I need something. I know nothing is owed to me but I am so over this board.

What are we supposed to say? Everyone's symptoms are totally different, especially once they've been gluten-free for a while and they last for different amounts of time. I hope he's doing better today.

No, they won't push bloodwork back for one glutening. It shouldn't make a difference in the antibodies four months from now.

Sounds like you are already getting answers to his reaction.

Hi Stephanie,

I sure hope your little one is feeling better after the bread ingestion. Accidental glutening is bound to happen; we just went through something similar this week but it was my fault. I didn't panic, just felt bad about it and realized these things are bound to happen from time to time. I think we have to remember that these little guys went for a looong period of time with gluten; so while getting gluten-ed accidentally is not an ideal scenario post diagnosis, the sky won't fall in. They just don't feel well at all, poor little guys. My daughter's celiac friend has violent reactions to accidental glutenings, and I think everyone's child is different. I was wondering the same thing about the 6 mo. follow up bloodwork, but decided I'll tell the GI when we are at that follow up appt. so they have the info. I would think one glutening wouldn't affect the entire 6 mos. that dramatically? In any case, on another note: Don't feel bad if sometimes it takes a few days for people to reply to your posts even w/multiple "views". I've had the experience that no one replies, but it is not personal, its more likely that they don't have the answer. We're all here to help one another out and sometimes you get more info. than others. You sounded upset and frightened about your child, I hope things are better now. Take care. Emily

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
