Baby Symptoms Of Celiac Anyone?

I have Celiac disease but was never FULLY sure until now due to the fact I never had a complete panel (but since eating something with gluten after 1.5 years I've been sick). I had been trying to figure out my 3 month old son's allergies since birth. I've come to the conclusion that he is allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy. Previously when I had dairy he would be congested, mucousy stools, trouble sleeping,etc. But I still was not positive that was the offending food.

Last Saturday for dinner I ate a milk shake and breaded chicken. Immediately the next day he had mucousy stools, projectile vomiting (which he never did).He has quit taking naps, screams in pain randomly, etc. He no longer vomits now, but now has diarrhea, bloating, a pimple like rash similar to my gluten one, and a low grade 99.9 fever. I am very concerned. His pediatrician didn't seem too worried sense his fever isn't high enough. She said it could either be a bug or allergies.

It seems like such a coincidence for it to be a virus. Does any one else's child have similar symptoms including the fever with gluten?

And does anyone know how effective genetic testing for Celiac would be for him?

Surely if you're Celiac, he's not getting any gluten? and if he's allergic or intolerant to dairy, it's likely to have been the milkshake??

My son has the same reactions to gluten and dairy. For years we went back and forth to the doctor  and ER, with him in screaming pain of his stomach. The doctors told us it was his enlarged Vegus nerve. It wasnt until I put all of his probloms on paper that and had a list of things it could be and showed it to my doctor that she actually decided to check him out. If he has problems with bread and dairy stop giving it to him, demand to see a GI doctor. Follow your intincts, Goodluck.

If you are going to a pediatric gastroenterologist, you might have a 3 month wait for the specialty.  You must continue giving the patient gluten for the testing to be accurate.  (Celiac is diagnosed from the damage caused from eating gluten ~ if you don't have the damage the will not be a diagnoses.)

My son had a lot of GI issues as a baby( projectile vomit, diarrhea), plus skin rashes and was a very colicky baby. I wish I had pushed the issue a bit more. He was finally diagnosed this past month after almost missing it again( I had a hint in June last year and after being told it was highly unliely he ad Celiac, then given the wrong tests, then finally the Celiac panel, then biopsy, we were finally able to put a ame on it). Now we're struggling with DS2 chronic urticaria with unknown cause, tested negative on Celiac blood panel( right below cutoff), erratic growth( doctor does not seem concerned...I am). We cut him off gluten since our house is gluten-free anyway. Still looking and trying to figure out the pieces of this puzzle. All of that to say that keep asking questions, look around and follow your intuition.

The baby is 3 months, correct?  Still nursing?  I don't understand how he would have gluten in his diet if you're celiac and gluten-free.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      By Levi · Posted

      What is the correlation in taking supplemental Magnesium with D?  I can attest to Dr. McCarthy when it comes to influenza. In all 7 full years that I took extremely high weekly dose D2 50K only once did I become ill with flu like symptoms. At the time I became ill I was sharing residence with a sibling, 3 children, and 1 additional adult - a full house that was almost daily trafficked by other children and adults. Total 7 years, other than contracting Covid twice at 22 months apart, when it comes to flu illness I was practically immune.

      By Levi · Posted

      I have taken D2 50K oral capsules once weekly for 7 years consecutively due to a dangerously low deficiency level of 17. It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the 7 consecutive years of D2 50K which gradually increased my D levels to 60s & 70s is causing current labs of high TSH, even though for at least the last 4 months I have reduced my D2 50K intake to half dosage, every other week vs. weekly?

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Untreated celiac disease is associated with arthritis and other autoimmune diseases which can cause such pain. These categories have research articles on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/fibromyalgia-and-celiac-disease/ https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/arthritis-and-celiac-disease/

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      By Paula Andrews · Posted

      Hi! Did anyone experience severe body aches prior to being diagnosed?  Last year I suddenly experienced widespread pain, completely unexplained. After numerous tests with normal results I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in August and started taking Cymbalta, which helped about 80%. Now other than pain, I did not have any additional fibromyalgia symptoms.    In the following months I started experiencing diarrhea, to the point where it was constant. In January I was diagnosed with celiac disease and microscopic colitis after having an endoscopy/colonoscopy. I've been gluten-free since that day and recently my pain level has dropped to ZERO.  I'm starting to wonder if I even have fibromyalgia, or if all of my symptoms were celiac and colitis.  I've seen several doctors and no one suggested this, but from what I'm reading it sounds possible.  The fact that I was diagnosed with two different diseases within a few months also seems odd. Has anyone else experienced all-over body aches with celiac?  And if so did the pain end after eliminating gluten?  Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has either celiac or fibromyalgia to talk to.
