Strange taste?

Just curious if a metallic/strange taste in the mouth when eating gluten foods in a symptom of celiac.   My child has the genetic markers for celiac and positive on one blood test but not a confirmed diagnosis.  Recently she stopped eating some gluten foods because she said they taste funny to her - give her a metallic / bad taste in mouth.  Just curious if this a symptom anyone else has had.

I get that but just with barley. Is she waiting on a scope? If so keep her on gluten. If she is done with celiac related testing then get her on the diet. You only need one positive blood test to be celiac.

I have never heard of this but funny thing about children and humans, sometimes we tend to develop a defense mechanism to foods where we find them distasteful if they are bad for us or cause a negative body reaction. It could be her body telling her not to eat it cause it is hurting her. It could also be a initial immune response in the mouth, or there are instances of people especially kids developing sensory issues and diseases in reaction to gluten.  In some cases sensory issues are just related to the malabsorption of vitamins and nutrient that you body uses caused by damaged intestines. Common ones are  B-vitamins, Iron, D, E, copper, folate, magnesium, niacin, riboflavin, and/or zinc I would see about having these checked as well.  I would hurry up and get the confirmed diagnosis for the disease while she is still eating gluten as you have to be consuming it for the test. A endoscope for the final confirmation require you to be eating gluten daily for 2 weeks not much just a cracker or a slice of bread. After this you can get her on a gluten free diet.

Will share some helpful links,

And a fun and random list of celiac symptoms

Metallic taste in the mouth is a symptom of reflux. Any reaction to gluten can be a symptom of celiac or gluten intolerance. A full celiac blood test can help you see if celiac is a problem. I believe the full test includes TTG IGA and IGG, DGP IGA and IGG, IGA, EMA. She has to be eating gluten every day for many weeks for the test to be accurate. A positive on any one test result should lead to an endoscopy to confirm celiac. Once testing is done it never hurts to try not to eat foods that cause symptoms.

I have celiac and have that metallic taste. Peppermint is known to cause reflux and I've been eating a heckuvalot since December. Needless to say I've dropped the peppermint ice cream. Should get better in a month.

Not a doc. Good luck.

I just had one positive on the celiac panel (DGP IgA), yet I had moderate to severe intestinal damage.  Consider getting a GI consult.  An endoscopy may be in order and usually confirms a diagnosis.  

I wish your child well!

Thank you all for the feedback!  No she is not waiting on a scope. I really don't want to put her through that as a child unless necessary.

 She never had the DGP or EMA done.  I will ask the dr about having those done just to see if any other tests show positive (only one was IGG) as well as vitamin deficiencies.  She has low IGA so I know the IGA tests will probably come back negative.

I have always had a weird taste in my mouth after eating gluten foods for as long as I can remember. Even now, if I eat something that I haven't checked the ingredients on, I'll know because of the weird aftertaste.

I stop eating gluten 6 years ago because I had a bad taste in my mouth. As soon as I stopped the taste went away. I can go years without the taste. When I eat gluten the taste comes back within 24 hours. I am not celiac had a scope, blood test and colonoscopy. I had a test done by a nose throat ear doctor and she told me all looked good and it was something I was eating. Also had my teeth checked more than once before illuminating gluten. I am now going to a allergy illimination clinic and hoping to be able to eat gluten again some day

      Catholic Mass for Celiacs

      By misslemon · Posted

      Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice on how to handle Mass as a new Catholic.  I'm looking to take the Mass for the first time in March.  I've been told that the church has a "low gluten" option that is 0.01% gluten.  Is this safe, especially to do every week?   I also read that taking the wine instead could be more of a problem if it gets contaminated with regular crumbs.   I found this information online:  "The Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Clyde, Missouri, have developed a Communion host that is extremely low in gluten. The host is made from gelatinized wheat starch. The Sisters report the hosts test to a level of 0.01% gluten. At that level, the lowest that could be tested, no gluten was detected. This means that there is less than 0.01% gluten in one of these hosts. The Secretariat for the Liturgy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has stated that these hosts meet the requirements of the Code of Canon Law (924 §2) and may be validly used at the celebration of the Eucharist with permission of the person's pastor. The Catholic with celiac disease can now fully participate in Holy Communion with the whole parish family. Catholic celiacs may choose to receive consecrated wine at a regular communion station if their parish offers communion under both species. There is greater risk for contamination using this option. The fraction rite may allow small, yet dangerous crumbs to be in the cup." Thank you for any guidance!

      Bloodwork still postive after 18 months

      By Jenn D · Posted

      My son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease is April 2023. His ttg antibody was over 100 at the time of diagnosis. Now it is at 3 (which is considered negative), but his endomysium antibody iga is still coming up positive. There is no specific number just positive or negative so I'm not sure if he's getting better or not. I'm getting nervous that something else is going on and I was just looking for some advice or an understanding what this "postive" actually means. He gets tested every 6 months. Thank you so much for any responses😊 Attached is a picture of his bloodwork from August 2024

      Popcorn pain

      @JenFur, if this is microwave popcorn you are using, check for added ingredients that could be causing a reaction such as flavorings which might be hidden sources of gluten.

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔
