What are your child's symptoms when they are glutened?

I'm still not sure what my kids' symptoms are when they accidentally get gluten.  Every illness and tummy ache make me paranoid.  My daughter ate some chocolate of an unknown source and ended up with a fever, pain when she had a bowel movement, and then a very fine rash.... Could that be gluten?  Is a fever a possible sign of being glutened?

what are your kids' symptoms?  Is it always the same?

My kids did not have a positive blood test but I am a celiac and they had symptoms so they are now all gluten-free. Symptoms included stomach aches, diarrhea, headaches, moodiness and lack of concentration.

My son is twelve and undiagnosed, but all his GI symptoms and malabsorption issues resolved when he went gluten-free, so, at the very least, he is NCGS (I believe, though, that he's celiac).  He's been glutened twice with very small amounts of cc.  His original symptoms were chronic constipation; now, when he gets glutened, he has three days of watery (and I mean almost completely water) diarrhea, headache, fatigue and lethargy.  The first time he was glutened, his stools went back to being an unformed, gloppy mess for about a month before returning to normal.  The second time, the diarrhea was less (but the fatigue was more) and his stools returned to normal much faster.

Hope this helps!

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
