Eczema - Symptom? Paranoid Since His Sister Has Celiac

Hi!

 

I have a 6 year old that has Celiac disease.  She's had it since she was 1 year old.  We are very used to it....however, that also makes me paranoid to it.  My 3 year old hasn't been tested, he has no symptoms of it so his ped decided it's not necessary yet. Recently he developed Eczema on this thighs, it keeps getting worse.  I noticed it was particularly bad tonight after he had eaten non gluten free spaghetti.  (Currently my daughter and I eat gluten free, the other 3 kids and my husband do not, with a family of 6 most things we make are gluten-free but not all.  my daughter and I were both tested and have the HLADQ2.5 gene).
 

Am I being paranoid and thinking this when it's typical toddler eczema???

 

Thanks!

Depending on where you live, it could be weather related.  My DD's eczema gets bad from about now till March/April. Slather him up in a GOOD cream after a warm bath and you may stop it from progressing.

That said, it's recommended that any blood relatives be tested every 3 years OR if they exhibit signs. It may be something to consider to have a baseline of where things are now!

It could be, especially if it keeps getting worse.

Thanks so much guys!  I will keep an eye on it and if it does flare up more with some things he eats than others.  Once you have a child with it you seem to want to blame everything in the other kids on it, LOL!

Shadowicewolf - do you have a good lotion you use?  I bookmarked a list, but wondered if any of them work better than others.

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
