we are waiting for genetic tests to see if our daughter has Celica disease or a gluten intolerance. Based on her symptoms gastro says if it is positive celiac disease if negative glutennintolerance.

after all , blood work and stool samples were taken we went gluten free....now on day 3

our main issue is behead 2 huge very loose cream coloured stools, then 2 pale pencil thin stools and now she is having loose grainy green foul smelling stools and is wetting and soiling herself again, she has been in underwear without incident for 6 months now

family doc......call your pediatrician this is out of my league

genetic testing will not confirm celiac disease or not. Some here on the forum do have confirmed celiac yet do not possess the gene that predisposes you to celiac disease.

Did she have the celiac blood test? not the gene test. I also think that there is bound to be some stool changes when first starting a gluten free diet. Also, I do know that when my kids at a young age would come down with a "bug" virus they'd get that green foul smelling stool. Could she be fighting a virus?

apart from the tummy troubles she is as strong as an ox, we get a cold for a month, she gets it for a day

the only real thing that has changed with gluten free is her bread and cereal

      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!
