    For me, skin rashes were signs of additional food intolerances other than celiac. Soy gave me the worst rashes, and soy is in most processed gluten free food.

    An Outing Story (every now and then I feel a need to tell a story - some of you may too, and I would be delighted to read them) Hubs and I went on a Probus-organized bus trip yesterday (amazing what old folks will do for 'entertainment' ) Bus was driven by one of the members (supposed to be a 'pro' ) and it turned out to be a used-import bus from Japan...

    I personally have taken VSL#3 and highly recommend it (although it is expensive). I took it in its powdered form but I don't think it makes much difference. Other posters have also recommended Align. I hope it makes a difference for your daughter and that she is soon feeling better.

    If she has been on two courses of antibiotics she probably needs some good probiotics to restore the good flora in her gut. You can get them in powder form for children.

    For most celiacs they are intolerant to lactose only, until the time their villi heal and they can start making the enzyme to digest it again. This means cutting out milk, cream, ice cream, frozen yogurt at a minimum. Some can tolerate yogurt; I could, along with cheese and butter and even sour cream where the cultures digest the lactose. You can test...

    It depends if you mean totally better, or a noticeable improvement. Generally you will notice some improvement within two or three weeks (some sooner), but it is recommended that you wait for three months before deciding that the gluten free diet alone isn't working. Often you will have to eliminate some other foods for a while, sometimes permanently. ...

    Lactaid works for some people and not others. It initially worked for me, but eventually I had to eliminate milk, cream, ice cream, frozen yogurt, while still being able to tolerate those foods which were cultured (yogurt), high fat / low lactose (butter) or where the lactose was consumed by enzymes (cheese). I can now eat all dairy again.

    Your symptoms do sound strongly suspicious for celiac or gluten intolerance. These are two separate conditions, and just so you know, there is no test yet for gluten intolerance - you will always test negative on the celiac tests, and unfortunately NCGI is much more prevalent than celiac. On your first gluten free trial you were way too impatient; you...

    It's more likely the lactose in the milk than the casein. Just as a test, drink a glass of milk, or some ice cream, and see what happens. If within an hour you find yourself in the bathroom, you can blame the lactose.

    To get your guts to play nicely you have to treat them nicely. High quality probiotics; digestive enzymes; L-glutamine, all will help them out, to repopulate your gut with the good guys, to digest your food, and to promote healing. (Providing you have killed off your SIBO )

    You are right to take things slow instead of rushing in. So what would I do?? Definitely eliminate the gluten. Eliminate the dyes and preservatives (you seem to have been able to do this before, right? ) Keep your two-year-old away frorm peanuts and eggs. Are your other children responsible enough to make sure she does not get them if they are in...

    Yes, it can happen. Here is what Mary J. Shomon, a thyroid expert, has to say: Open Original Shared Link by Mary J. Shomon "Frequently, readers write in frustration, stating that they have been diagnosed as hypothyroid, but have symptoms of both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. I'm gaining weight, exhausted all the time, and my hair is falling...

    If the normal range for total IgA starts at 91, and your result is 76, I would definitely consider you to be IgA deficient. To be sufficient you have to be within range.

    I have spent a lifetime growing (and regrowing) back my hair. Seems like anything will make it fall out, including gluten. But also antibiotics, and anti-rheumatoid drugs like methotrexate, and now anti-coagulants. Seems like everything that is anti- something is also anti-hair Forrtunately, so far, it always does eventually grow back in, or I would...

    YES!! That is what I wanted to know. You are too close to it. You have to step back and look at it. Read your own post as if you were reading someone else's post, a new forum member. And think about it. Don't read the rest of my post until you've done that. Your instincts are spot on. Your kids and you all do better off gluten!! It doesn...

    That is a shopping list of possible causes. Peppers, paprika, chile = nightshade family; lots of us have problems with nightshades. If the rice milk was Rice Dream, many have problems with that because it is filtered with barley, although supposedly no residuals. Eggs are one of the biggie allergens, although no natural association with gluten. You...

    Welcome to the club no one expected to join There's a lot of reading on here which you should find helpful, starting with the Newbie 101 thread. Here you will find where gluten lurks and how to ferret it out and keep your son safe. Read as much as you can, and as questions arise, don't be afraid to ask them.
