How Do You Keep A Teething Baby Gf?

Our Toddler (23 months old) is getting his "2 year molars" and sticks EVERYTHING in his mouth. Stuff like bird seed he finds on he ground in the nieghbors yard, rocks from the street, etc. In fact the only way to get him to not put it in his mouth is to put it on a plate and call it dinner. :lol:

He got gluten some how over the weekend and we are just coming out of it now... but what the heck to blame? We have decided to blame the cup of milk that he umm borrowed from the nieghbor's kid. We decided it must have had crums in it it... but realy, we have no idea where it could have come from. :(

He does not understand verbal commincations yet, sees a langauge tutor once a week, so theres no way to telll him about celiac disease (though we try!).

You could try asking his tutor to help you help him understand. However, I don't think that at that age (mine is 26 mo) they can really understand much more than "Bread and pasta give me tummy ache" Even if he does understand that doesn't mean it will stop him from consuming those things. Guess it's like damned if you do and if you don't - until he gets a little older, you'll have to be on him like a hawk. I've been keeping an ice cube try out with safe snacks for my daughter (not special gluten-free products, just like fruits, veggies, etc)

Hi, I know this has to be frustrating. Not being able to communicate with your child is very difficult. I know at times I feel like I'm always saying NO. My daughter is 3 and after about 9 months or so I think she's starting to relate the physcial aspects of eating foods that make her sick. As your son gets older he might start understanding your explaination before he can even verbalize it. I know that it's not much help now but......

I used to have a recipe for gluten-free teething biscuts that use rice cereal, pureed fruit, oil & ice water. I'll try to see if I can find it if you'd like. I just carried those with us all the time so my daughter could chew! I'm sure she ate lots of other things also. :lol:

Take care!

I know when my boys were teething, they loved sucking on a face cloth that was soaked with water. rolled/twisted up then frozen in the freezer. They carried those things around everywhere chomping down on them...... Maybe this will keep unsafe stuff out of his mouth.....

Good Luck!

I talked to a couple of my mommy friends and here's the best we've got.....

MOTRIN! MOTRIN! MOTRIN! (Is that even gluten-free?) If you don't want to drug him... (hahaha).....

When my daughter was a baby and teething we used gluten-free bread. I got the kind that's sweetened with Juice and cut it into strips. Bake it real low, like 200F for a couple of hours till it's dry and crispy. She still likes those, and a good treat to dip in yogurt!

The frozen wash cloth is a good idea, I've done that. What about a baby teether- those kind with water in them? Or a Popsicle (I use sugar free ones, but I'm not sure if they'd be gluten-free.)

Yea he gets Motrin... and that hanldes the PAIN, but does does not seem to effect the need to chew as much. Does seem to cut it back some.

Those teethers dont work as well now because the teeth in question are in the WAAAAAAAAAAY back, they are the very last molars, cant realy gett a teeth back there with out choking, he does try though.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not safe for individuals with celiac disease, as even trace amounts of gluten can cause harm. While the adult butterfly chicken may be a safer option, the inconsistency in practices for children's meals is concerning. It's frustrating that Nando's headquarters did not take responsibility, but sharing your experience raises awareness and may encourage them to improve their protocols. Consider reaching out to celiac advocacy organizations to amplify your concerns and push for better standards. Always double-check with staff and emphasize the importance of avoiding cross-contamination when dining out.

      I had this symptom when I was diagnosed. Are you sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free?  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 has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Based on your results, it seems unlikely that you have celiac disease. A negative endoscopy and the absence of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes (the primary genetic markers for celiac) strongly suggest you do not have the condition. However, the elevated TTG-IgA (22) could indicate a temporary immune response or another issue, such as a different autoimmune disorder, intestinal infection, or even a lab anomaly. The presence of DQA1*05 alone is not diagnostic for celiac. Meeting with an allergist and GI specialist is a good next step to explore other potential causes for the high antibodies, such as non-celiac gluten sensitivity or other immune-related conditions. Keep a detailed food and symptom diary to help guide further testing and discussions with your doctors. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I had celiac panel done back in October, only ttg iga came back high  (22 with positive being over 3). Endoscopy done in January, it was  negative. Genetic test done after endoscopy, negative for both hla dq2 & dq8. Did show positive for dqa1*05.  Scheduled to meet with an allergist next week. Not scheduled to meet with GI specialist till after allergist. Confused if I have celiac or what caused high the antibodies originally if I do not.

      Tums is an antacid.  Calcium (also vitamin D) need it acidic for absorption, so you're not really getting any calcium benefit.  Try DGL, it coats rather than counteracts acid. You need acid anyway to digest and get those vitamins. It's usually not too much acid that causes heartburn, it's not enough acid which causes food to rot and ferment in the stomach. Try DGL, everyone I've gotten to actually try it has had great relief. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IAJW0K
