WK Dicke observed that celiac children were harmed by wheat. Does anyone know whether those children ate whole wheat bread or white flour bread at the time? Is there any source that specified that information?

I am just recently looking into Dr. Gundry's diet and his book "Plant Paradox" that talks about lectins being the culprit of leaky gut. I don't have any conclusion yet, but you may want to look into it for yourself.

I'm no expert but I wonder if it could have something to do with your high consumption of grains and beans? You could look into phytic acid and anti-nutrients which describes the substances that plant seeds (grain, beans, nuts) produce that interfere with human absorption. You could also look into the GAPS diet as something to experiment.

Hello, and thank you everyone for your concerns! I am updating this thread myself to share some additional information after I put my son on the gluten-free (and further elimination) diet. Almost 3 months later, I think I've gotten just about everything figured out! My son showed immediate improvement right after gluten-free. What others mentioned as...

I am updating this thread myself to share some additional information after I put my son on the gluten-free (and further elimination) diet. Almost 3 months later, I think I've gotten just about everything figured out! My son showed immediate improvement right after gluten-free. What others mentioned as pre-diabetic-like symptoms such as frequent urination...

Hello, I have been gluten free for less than a month after finding out that my son is wheat intolerant (I have two other posts talking about that). I myself is generally healthy without noticeable medical problems, so I became gluten free simply out of 1) curiosity 2) don't want to cross contaminate my son's food. I've been noticing something very strange...

Thank you, Knitty Kitty, for the links. I'll take a look. Everything seems to come together now, thank you for all the guidance along the way. If there's anything worth noting, I will update in my original thread since it has all the background information.

Hi Knitty Kitty, thank you for your thoughts. They have helped me to link everything up! He must be deficient in all those nutrients which is causing all the little things I notice. For the past few months, he ate very little meat and eggs (preferring pastry over everything else) which must have been the start of the thiamine deficiency. As he regained his...

Thank you Knitty Kitty, yes I agree with the juice. It works but it's too sugary and stimulating. I found that if I give him more corn, beans, and okra, they help. His appetite has improved a lot since gluten-free so his bowel seems to move a bit faster compared to the past. I notice some immediate and not so immediate reactions after my son eats gluten-containing...

Okay, thank you, Scott. I did see other people mentioning new food intolerances after gluten-free so that made me ponder a bit.
-
Okay, thank you for your reply. What can a doctor do besides prescribing a gluten-free diet which I've already done and saw significant improvement, and tell me to put my son back on gluten in order to get an "accurate" diagnosis which I will never do as a mother who foresaw what it can do?

Hello, I have two questions if anyone can share some insight 🙂 I know that gluten appears to attack the villi when it enters the small intestine. However, I've not read much on what happens when gluten leaves the small intestine and enters the colon. Does it do anything special in the colon? If the small intestine is clear of gluten, but the body is...

This is an old thread, but I just wanted to add my personal experience to this topic. Before I started gluten-free for my son, he was getting more and more picky about food, favoring things with gluten (pizza, buns, etc) and disliking meat more and more (which he used to like). So gluten-free diet was a challenge to me at first. But I discovered that gluten...
-
Hm.... I wonder why for some people some of these food intolerances show up only after the start of a gluten-free diet. Why won't these symptoms show up before? Two more notes on my son's change after going gluten-free that I forgot to mention: 1) Somehow he seems to have become an early bird person now, wakes up early and goes to sleep early, which...
-
Thank you, Scott, for the suggestion. I wonder why one would develop these temporary food intolerances after being gluten-free. Is it a healing reaction of some sort? I haven't noticed much on my son except I notice that whenever he eats anything too sugary, he gets temporary lazy-eyed for a few seconds, which is a condition he developed earlier this year...
-
I'm quickly reporting on my son's status as I find this information may be helpful for some. It's been about 10 days since I last posted and about 3 weeks since he started gluten-free (with the first 1.5 weeks being incomplete gluten-free as I was discovering hidden glutens so 1.5 weeks of true gluten-free). (1) All the symptoms that I described earlier...
-
Thank you Knitty Kitty, yes I understand that everyone here is truly well-intended🙂 When you say some of you have gone undiagnosed for so many years developing other health problems along the way, do you mean Celiac (being undiagnosed for so many years)? It must have been difficult to try to make way with so little information back then. But with today's ...
-
Well, it looks like this thread is diverging away from what I had intended to make out of it so I won't crowd it with duplicate responses in regards to seeking medical advice as I personally see no point in that. I'll keep observing and if I notice anything significant I will post them as a reference to anyone interested. If you would like to share similar...

Hi J3ssica899, thank you for your concern. My son doesn't have any of the other diabetes symptoms, and the frequent urination is not clinical-level. It's just that he gets up like twice in the morning to pee rather than sleeping all the way through (during the few weeks before going gluten-free) and tends to have to pee one more time in addition to just having...
-
Hi Knitty Kitty, thank you for your comment. Dehydration definitely makes sense. I can start to see the link between those symptoms a little better now. And thank you for the book recommendation, it seems super useful for me. I've started on the gluten-free diet as well, first simply out of curiosity (as I have no health problems), and now seriously...
-
Hi Scott, thank you very much for your thoughtful input! I am not interested in taking him to the doctor especially that diagnosis would require putting gluten back in him. What I have witnessed is more than enough for me to proceed with the gluten-free diet. The symptoms that I mentioned only appeared within less than a month and disappeared immediately...

Hello, I stumbled across this site after accidentally discovering my four year old child has gluten intolerance. He has always been difficult to gain weight (although height has always been above average) and after three days of feasting on gluten (buns, dumplings, sandwiches, bread, and pizza) in an (ignorant) effort to make him gain weight, I noticed that...
