3 year old gluten intolerance?
Wheatwacked replied to Nicbent35's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Yes. Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult. This is an important clue. She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives... -
Anyone else with very high HDL?
Wheatwacked replied to plumbago's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
@plumbago, I found a good PDF on cholesterol: Unlocking the mysteries of VLDL: exploring its production, intracellular trafficking, and metabolism as therapeutic targets I just started it, but it may have answers for us, with whacky cholesterol. The pharmaceuticals don't seem to be interested in anything but statins. "The nicotine in tobacco... -
Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees. The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped. Also...

3 year old gluten intolerance?
Wheatwacked replied to Nicbent35's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes. She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family. Do get her tested as sooon as you can. You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease. Children recover more quickly than adults. It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going... -

Wheatwacked replied to Nicbent35's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi @Nicbent35, When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration. With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing. In the meantime, though, continue on GFD. Her health is more important than convincing... -

Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy. This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 19...

Also ask for a test of vitamin D levels. I agree with knitty kitty that cyclical Thiamine deficiency may be the cause of your cycle. Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Itchy palms can be a symptom of iodine deficiency. Low iodine levels can lead to dry, flaky skin on the hands and body due to the disruption...

Is it gluten?

Hello @A Wilson, Glad you found us. There is your answer. The results from the tests are just more data to the puzzle. -
Is it gluten?
Wheatwacked replied to Woodster991's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi @Woodster991, You do need to see a health professional to make sure it is not appendicitis. Rebound tenderness, fever. Is it gluten? Yes. It is also serious vitamin and mineral deficiency. Either by Celiac Disease malabsortion, food avoidance or just not getting enough. Consider significantly increasing your intake of vitamin... -

Yes. My son was diagnosed at weaning in 1973 His treatment was Nutramigen until he healed and was weaned to a gluten free diet. Nutramigen with Enflora LGG Toddler: Designed for older infants and toddlers aged 9 to 36 months While your medical system is causing delay, I think you should start GFD and document improvement and do gluten challenge... -

Research indicates that a significant portion of people with dermatitis herpetiformis (dermatitis herpetiformis) can experience worsened symptoms when exposed to high levels of iodine; however, not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis will react to iodine, and the exact percentage depends on individual sensitivity and dietary factors.

Test result insight
Wheatwacked replied to disneyfamilyfive's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Given your symptoms and family history and your low gluten consumption before the blood test, eventually you will be diagnosed, but it may take years. Ask your doctor about nutrition deficiencies due to malabsorption. Vitamin D deficiency is almost ubiquitous. Unless your doctor has an answer to your health issues, once you've pursued a diagnosis to... -
In what way? Skinese: You paid for it, might as well try. They are the usual mix and is gluten free. "Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives." Are you using whole milk yogurt or the no fat yogurt. The no fat has varius ingrediEnts...

Welcome @Ems10, Isn't is wonderful how a simple change helps. Gluten free eating is not a punishment. It does take attention to details when buying processed foods.

The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria. I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat. Especially in early healing there may be other foods...
