Can celiac disease cause pale stools and vomiting.

Hi there, my daughter has been tested for celiac and in her initial blood tests she came up as a clear positive of 120+. We are still awaiting an appointment with the gastro team so are currently following a normal diet. Her diagnosis came about as she was intermittently vomiting and it turned out that she had severe fecal impaction all the way up her digestive tract. We disimpacted have been having movicol daily since July. In the past two weeks she has begun intermittently vomiting again. I upped her movicol for the past week and her poo was clearly fresh poo with recent food bits coming out.  Tonight she’s just vomited again after her medicine. I’m at my wits end! Could this actually be the celiac rearing its head? So much undigested food came out. Scrambled egg from 11am for example. Thanks!  

Welcome to the forum community, @RiosMom! Unless you are in the super sensitive subset of the celiac community, I wouldn't worry about transdermal exposure to gluten.

Could we be secretly hurting ourselves with each shower? Which products do u guys trust? I fear that since our food is controlled, it might be our H/B products that are causing accidental exposure. 

Hi 'ConfusedCelic'. I was very interested to read your post and the letter from Prof. Federico Biagi you linked to. Blown away actually! I am DQ7.5. I tested sero-negative for Celiac 10 days AFTER giving up gluten (August 2023) when I knew very little about this topic. I now know a whole lot. I am not game to do a gluten challenge. My body is still 'recovering'. I did my tests through my GP here in New Zealand although here the genetic result is termed differently which confused me for a while: DQA1*05 and DQB1*03:01 (DQA1*05) = DEMONSTRATED Relative risk for coeliac disease - VERY LOW It seems to me that statistics can give you slanted views. Perhaps what this really means is, there are a low percentage of people generally with this gene combination rather than the genes giving a low risk of developing celiac disease. The other thing that I found strange was, the letter and the work it referred to, talk about 'only having DQA1*05, not also having DQB1*02:01'. It doesn't seem surprising to me that there could be another combination of genes capable of causing celiac disease. On a local facebook chat this month, 2 people stated that they had been diagnosed celiac 30 years ago via biopsy when they were 2 and 3 respectively, and they have now 'learned' via private testing companies that they 'aren't celiac after all'. Presumably, they were only tested for the 'common' types. I am astonished at how much disinformation goes on. I have pointed them to the letter from Prof. Federico Biagi. Did you ever manage to complete the other genetic tests?
