Stools can reflect the color or the previous meals consumed. But, if the pale stool continue for several days, I would contact her Primary Doctor, especially if other symptoms are involved.

I'm sorry but I don't know your history with or child. Do you have a diagnosis for Celiac? If so, you might want to eliminate dairy for several weeks until some healing can take place. Most times, you can reintroduce it slowly and successfully.

There are several milk alternatives.

we are waiting in test results but gastro says she is at the very least gluten intolerant

she is dairy free, she has an anaphylactic allergy to milk and eggs

today she had a green grainy foul stool

we just don't know what to do, have appointment at children's hospital in 3 weeks, no point in going to emergency, for the last year and half they just kept telling us she had a bug or it was normal in toddlers, the last time we went they told us just to wait for gastro appojntment

      Is the gluten challenge worth it with what I’ve got going on here?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience sounds challenging, and it’s great that you’re already seeing some improvements on a gluten-free diet. Based on your HLA gene results, the alleles you have (DQA101:02, DQA102:01, DQB102:02, DQB106:02) show a mix of gene types, some of which are associated with an increased risk of celiac disease, though none are definitive indicators on their own. Given that celiac testing can be inconclusive after going gluten-free, it’s understandable that a gluten challenge feels daunting. Some people choose to forego a formal diagnosis and stay gluten-free if they’re experiencing significant improvements, as a gluten challenge can indeed trigger unpleasant symptoms. But if having a definitive diagnosis would help with managing your long-term health, you could talk to your GI about options to ease into the gluten challenge more gradually. Alternatively, you might explore non-invasive options like monitoring for elevated anti-gliadin antibodies, though this isn’t as conclusive as a biopsy. Ultimately, if your symptoms are notably better and your quality of life has improved, staying gluten-free without a diagnosis can be a valid choice, especially if your doctor is supportive of this approach. You might also look into working with a dietitian to ensure that you’re getting all the nutrients you need on a gluten-free diet, especially since you’ve had vitamin deficiencies in the past.

      Ground meat absolutely full of gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many ground meats are not labelled gluten-free, but current US labeling laws do require the disclosure of wheat if it is used as an ingredient. Most ground meats are naturally gluten-free, and as you mention, it's best to find ones labeled gluten-free if possible. Many sausages, for example, are now labeled gluten-free.

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I had ADHD symptoms but taking Thiamine (Benfotiamine and Allithiamine TTFD), magnesium and potassium really helped with symptoms.   A diet high in carbohydrates can precipitate Thiamine deficiency symptoms that resemble ADHD.  Extra thiamine is needed to convert carbohydrates to energy.  Dr. Derrick Lonsdale has an explanation...  https://hormonesmatter.com/adhd-diet-thiamine/ https://hormonesmatter.com/sugar-intake-and-thiamine/ Hope this helps!
