Sorry to hear that - but I understand that Celiac disease it not an immune response in the same manner - so likely any treatment will be different to this - though as ever - probiotics and gut bacteria are worth a try.
My wife has celiac disease too, and I really wouldn't worry too much - it is pretty damn easy to eat out now (in the UK, Europe and America at least) - and compared to 10 years ago, she can shop really simply and have high confidence when eating out. We've traveled widely, and it's not been an issue either - as long as you take notes in the language of the country you are going to: http://www.celiactravel.com/cards/ http://www.celiactravel.com/cards/
Plus - as horrible as a reaction is nothing compared to an allergic/anaphylactic response from ingesting a known allergen.
- S_A_P 9y agoYou are right, this really is a great time(even though that sounds weird to put it that way) to have a food allergy. I think about even 10-20 years ago how hard it would be to eat gluten free at most places. Thank you for the link- travel is always something we "worry" about. Most of the time we bring an extra suitcase of non perishables that my daughter can eat in case we cant accommodate her diet. Another reason why I love this site, in the 6 or so responses from my post, Ive gotten lots of helpful info. Thanks to all of you!
- pkaye 9y agoSorry to hear about your daughter's healthy issues. For a while I've been dealing with food intolerance issues myself though things are much better now. One working theory I have is to have a high protein diet to build up the the lining of the gut. Maybe incorporate more high quality protein into your daughters diet and see if any improvement. I have no scientific evidence for this, just anecdotal experience... I don't think even doctors have all the answers based on those I dealt with.
