Hi Shanna,

There are certain genetic conditions in which IgA is abnormally low

from birth ( I think it's 1 in 400), in which case it is challenging

to correct it. I suspect this may be the case for Sondra, since she

appears to have a number of endocrine, autoimmune disorders and

intestinal problems. Does show any signs of any autoimmune

issues? These usually go along with very low IgA. Low IgA is also

associated with malabsorption and intestinal tract inflammation,

which impairs the ability to properly assimilate both nutrients and

supplements/meds. This could be why supplementing vitamin D for

has not been successful. Has she been tested for celiac disease?

IgA is essential for mucosal immunity on all inner and out body

surfaces, as it is a protective factor against infectious agents,

allergens, and foreign proteins that enter the body via the mouth,

nose, upper respiratory tracts, intestines, and the reproductive

tract. IgA deficiency often manifests as respiratory system problems

such as hay fever and asthma, inflammatory problems of the kidneys,

bladder, and urethra, inflammatory reproductive tract disorders

involving the uterus, ovaries, vagina, inflammatory joint disorders

such as rheumatoid arthritis, and in cases of vaccine reactions. Did

suffer a vaccine reaction that you are aware of?

In order to get the whole hormonal-immune picture, you should have

tests for cortisol, total estrogen, thyroid T3 and T4, and IgA, IgG,

and IgM immunoglobulins. Aside from the IgA, have you had any of the

other things tested?

Glutamine deficiency is definitely related to the low IgA. Glutamine

helps protect intestinal integrity and is the primary source of

energy for intestinal cells and cells of the immune system. It is an

overall source of energy, promotes wound healing, increases growth

hormone production which preserves muscle and decreases accumulation

of fat. Deficiencies cause increased permeability of the intestines

to allergens and toxins, inflammation of the intestines, food

allergies, inflammatory arthritis , fatigue, skin rashes, impaired

immune function, poor wound healing and slow recovery from illness.

Have you tried any glutamine supplementation? This is an excellent

product:

*She has not been tesed for " celiac disease " yet. She has had a urine

test when she was probably 3 years old due to her holding her urine

for 2 days at a time. We used to have to take her to the pediatrician

to get catherized. She has always had SEVERE CONSTIPATION. She turned

any milk away after I breastfed her for 6 months. She still will not

drink milk!

I am so interested in this because my little guy (who hasn't been dx

on the spectrum... but since he is obsessed with sprinkler heads and

flowing water and flaps and tiptoes, this could be a matter of time,

sigh) had a low IgA result when we tested him for Celiac last year. I

am about to ask for new celiac tests for both kids and for me, they

have symptoms and we know my little guy has a genetic marker for it.

So I am very interested in any/all info on low IgA. Also wanted to

say if you have low IgA, that can make it harder to get for Celiac

and you have to do a different test I think its TTG or something?

Total Trans Glutamase? I might have that wrong. Then of course the

" gold standard " for celiac is an intestinal biopsy. Ugh.

Shanna,

I would definitely do the more extensive thyroid testing (Free T3 and

T4) as well as celiac, cortisol, total estrogen, IgG and IgM. These

could help elucidate endocrine-immune dysfunction. What was her

TSH? Sometimes the number can indicate subclinical autoimmune

thyroiditis, which can occur with celiac and other autoimmune

disorders. Have you ever tried going strict gluten free with her? I

would try it.

,

okay...the test they did for TSH was 1.032 and the ref range was

0.350-5.500 uIU/ml. Underneath the results it says ***Test

methodology is 3rd generation TSH***

IMO it looks like it is on the low end of the ref range.

Look...I do want to hear what my doctor is going to say. Tomorrow is

our appointment. I dont want to waste time-his or mine. I will be

bringing up the " should we do more testing on thyroid or to see if

she has celiac " ?

Thanks all!

Shanna ('s mom)

ps. We already started pulling some of the 3+ allergy foods out of

her diet.

No milk? My daughter did the same. She refused cow's milk from about 2 years of

age and thats when we started to see some improvement. I have been told that

there are different types of milk produced by cows and the most common is the

milk that has been linked to Autism. I have no idea if this is true or not.

Has anybody else's daughter gone off dairy?

Thanks

I " started " the GF/CF diet when Melody was about two. The first thing we did was

to wean her and her little sister off of milk. We switched from cows milk to

rice milk. Now they don't drink rice milk either. Just water and juice.

Well, the diet didn't stick - we found that it was just not going to work for us

for many reasons - one of which is that I do not cook, am not comfortable in the

kitchen and this was going to make things even more difficult. Please don't

flame me for being selfish...

Anyhow, although the girls' diet isn't completely free of milk products, they do

not drink milk, because they don't like the taste of it.

Melody is always constipated. Even after we took her off milk, and she doesn't

consume that much dairy. So, I am starting to get a little concerned after

reading all of your posts of late, and am not sure where to start.

I didn't drink cows milk when I was a baby as I was allergic to it. I don't

drink milk to this day. I have it in my cereal, I get dairy in other ways

(cheese, etc.), but don't drink milk. Of course, my mother-in-law tries to force

milk down the girls' throats when she's here and it's a constant argument.

That's about it. I don't even remember where I was going with my rant! LOL

Hi ,please excuse me for jumping in this conversation late but

I happen to notice the word milk. This was a huge change for us. All

my daughter wanted was choco milk or things made with dairy in them.

She is 11 now and we started the CF diet when she was about 7 or 8.

It's been so long I can't exactly remember. She use to stay up having

a party in her room most of the night and was in a complete fog. This

all changed after the dairy was taken out of her diet. We started

noticing more eye contact within a few days. She was also a child

with constant ear infections. We tried the CF diet first because

these were things she constantly wanted. Now she will not touch milk.

She has for things like easy cheese in the can. Now that I think

about it she got a hold of some at my moms about a month back and

lets just say it was an interesting a tiring ride home. Its about an

hour drive.

My daughter has constant sleep problems. Even though she doesn't DRINK milk,

she's not off dairy.

I may have to dry dairy free with her and see what happens. This sleep issue is

killing the rest of the family!

Hi ,please excuse me for jumping in this conversation late but

I happen to notice the word milk. This was a huge change for us. All

my daughter wanted was choco milk or things made with dairy in them.

She is 11 now and we started the CF diet when she was about 7 or 8.

It's been so long I can't exactly remember. She use to stay up having

a party in her room most of the night and was in a complete fog. This

all changed after the dairy was taken out of her diet. We started

noticing more eye contact within a few days. She was also a child

with constant ear infections. We tried the CF diet first because

these were things she constantly wanted. Now she will not touch milk.

She has for things like easy cheese in the can. Now that I think

about it she got a hold of some at my moms about a month back and

lets just say it was an interesting a tiring ride home. Its about an

hour drive.

I wasn't sure I was a believer of the diet until I seen it with my

own eyes. From what I understand dairy has proteins in it that cause

a drug like effect in the brain. Also they are lacking enzymes to

break down these proteins. My daughter is seriously sensitive to

dairy products. We are partly. She gets some gluten but doesn't seem

to overly sensitive to it. We still try and limit it.

It was killing us too.

Someone told me to try her off all dairy for a week or two and then

give her something with the product in it and see if there is a

difference. So we went to a birthday party and she had some milk

chocolate. By the time we arrived home she was literally screaming at

the top of her lungs, trying to catch things in the air that know one

else could see, and throwing herself down on her side. We tried this

again with cheesy doritos that she always wanted twice. She was up in

the middle of the night vomiting both times. I could not believe the

was a coincidence.

Wow...thanks for the input! I'm definitely going to try it and see if it works!

Do you give a calcium supplement? (My Mother-in-law is sort of on my case about

it)

My daughter is GF/CF. We really see a difference.

She unfortunately still gets a little bit because I am

not too good yet about checking it in everything. My

family was giving me a hard time about it until my

sister saw it with her own eyes. She has a mini size

frozen yogurt at Golden Spoon. About 15min later she

started violently throwing up and continued to do so

until it was all out of her system. She also was

acting really weird. She couldn't function, like walk

or stand up. Her face was also white as snow. When

it was all out she was fine! Totally changed my

sister's view point.

We have also seen a huge improvement with her eye

contact since we started giving her fish oil.

I started Melody on fish oil too, and saw a HUGE improvement, unfortunately, I

can't get it in her all the time.

Still working on a system for that.

Tried juice boxes, that KIND OF works, but the oil floats to the top and then by

the time she gets to the end of the juice, it's all oil, and she won't drink

it....tried shakes, but even that doesn't work. She won't drink the whole thing.

A few sips and she's done.

acting really weird. She couldn't function, like walk

or stand up. Her face was also white as snow. When

it was all out she was fine! Totally changed my

sister's view point.

We have also seen a huge improvement with her eye

contact since we started giving her fish oil.

We recently started on the Cod liver oil from Nordic naturals. We also

started the gf/cf diet recently too. We have seen positive changes.

Her eczema has really cleared up too.

She has a feeding tube so it makes it easier to get supplements in her.

[Guest guest]

for me how I to get of it in my diet is of also to use of salmon that

is of not breaded or treated with any spices it is of fresh and then

I to just saute it gently and yet until done and then eat of it with

rice and fresh sauted veggies and this is one meal I to eat 3-4 times

a week for self to get of a good healthy fish and to avoid of red

meats when at all possible. I to eat much chicken and fish, and a

little pork but not as much. I to also eat turkey meats.

But I to try to eat of foods that show of it having omega 3 oils to

it. I to be to like of peanut butter much so and they have of one

with omega 3 in it. I to love of peanut butter and whipped honey

sandwhiches on peppridge farms honey flax whole grain bread.

I to also have been to learn in the past one of the best oils one can

use is of cocoanut oil is of pressed? and in a healthfood store. It

has of a strong coconut taste to it so you have to be of careful of

what you put it in but I to like cream of rice ceareal and place of

that in it and it is of a good flavoring for that. My Mikey in the

past did make great improvements with coconut oils but lately he has

been of much into being of a teen and to get of him to eat is of hard

at times.

Anyways I to be of not had of my IgA tested lately.

Sondra

[Guest guest]

Yes, we give her a multi mineral and calcium fruit chews. We get the

calcium chews from Henrys Market. They come in chocolate flavor also.

They are good they taste like a taffy.

We also found that she tolerates some soy products. We use Tofutti

slices. They come in Mozzarella flavor and American flavor. We use

them to make pizzas and grilled ch. The same store sells gf bread and

mixes like chebe bread mix, very easy to make little pizzas out of

and deserts.

Let me know if I can help with anything else. My daughter is so picky

so we have to get things that taste similar to the real thing. So I

could give you the name of things we have had good luck with.

Have you tried Nordic Naturals Omegas (childrens or Juniors) they

come in Chewable Soft Gels, Strawberry or Lemon. I told her they are

fuit gushers. You know they taste good when my daughter takes them.

We tried the liquid stuff in juices and she would smell it and know

right away. We buy them from Henrys Market but here is there website

off the container.

I am so interested in the names of the foods you use, we're just

starting gfcf, and my kid is also quite picky. The toffuti slices are

great, we have just gone CF (2 weeks now) and will go GF in 2 more

weeks. Mostly I think she's doing well, but for some reason today has

been quite hard (2 poop accidents, 2 huge meltdowns, and she keeps

licking me....)

Thanks ! I will look into that! I heard that the actual fish oils are better

than the other items that contain fish oils...but I guess something is better

than nothing right?

Thanks!
