<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Trisha, My daughter Grace is not celiac but has the other gluten intolerance which does not involve immunoglobulins, but seems to be a toxicological reaction to gluten and milk protein fragments. She was nowhere near being potty trained at her fourth birthday, but the next week she and I quit eating wheat, and she immediately became bowel and urinary trained with no effort on my part. We've only had a few slip-ups on the diet, and both times they involved potty accidents the next day. Oh, and incidentally, my father who has alzheimers, also had urinary and bowel incontinence clear up after he got off of gluten and milk, though he has frequent dietary slipups, which, if they are significant, end up causing him serious incontinency problems. I don't know why it couldn't be possible to have both kinds of problems with gluten. In fact, if the leaky gut might be something that develops first (my idea folks, totally speculative) before the immune system gets involved, then it might still hang around after celiac happens. By the way, Grace has had her first UTI, and a specimen is being cultured right now to see if she is over it. Because of my own exotic autoimmune history, I'm very reluctant to give her the second antibiotic her doctor is recommending because of the autoimmune side-effects that are listed in the PDR. She has just gotten over the chicken pox a month ago and her immune system has since gone nuts. It is in overdrive and her eyes are still dilated. Does any one have any tales of success/distaste for Macrodantin (nitrofurantoin)? If you do have a tale or advice to tell, email me quickly, please, as the decision to use it or not will be made by Saturday when the culture comes back.
