- cristiana replied to Beck1430's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms1Reaction to gluten or gastro bug?
Hello @Beck1430 and welcome to the Forum. I am sorry your little boy is going through this. Your question is an interesting one. I would say the majority of posts I have read since joining this forum speak of a fairly quick reaction, and that has been my experience. The only major gluten hit I've had in more recent times resulted in chills, dizziness... -

Hi there, I'm looking for some advice for my 2 year old. After he turned one he started eating more foods like pasta and breadsticks and our supermarket finally started to stock a soy free bread (he has an intolerance to dairy and soy) so he started eating bread for the first time. He began having foul, loose nappies, which I assumed must... -

Okay thanks Scott. So based on my results will they order more tests to be done? Kind of confused. -

Waiting on Blood test results…
Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the t...

Hello @Beck1430 and welcome to the Forum. I am sorry your little boy is going through this. Your question is an interesting one. I would say the majority of posts I have read since joining this forum speak of a fairly quick reaction, and that has been my experience. The only major gluten hit I've had in more recent times resulted in chills, dizziness and vomiting about 2-3 hours after eating gluten. It was truly horrible. The fact that I vomited was new for me - I didn't get diarrhea which had been my classic reaction in the past. It was as if in going totally gluten free my body has decided to react more violently to gluten, and quite differently. Reactions can change over time - the fact that your son is reacting differently doesn't necessarily mean that gluten isn't the culprit. Anyway, this study is interesting in that it states that it is possible to react 12 hours later. https://www.schaer.com/en-us/a/how-long-after-eating-gluten-do-symptoms-start#:~:text=A survey published in Alimentary,by 12 hours or more. I am afraid the only way you will probably know for sure is to repeat the challenge again, but I can completely understand your reluctance to do that. I wonder if I can ask a couple of questions: Regarding the rash - has that also subsided since giving up gluten? There are quite a lot of photos of dermatitis herpetiformis to see online, I wonder if you think what your son had/has was similar? Also, do you have coeliac disease in the family? It is inherited and if you have others in the family, that could point more strongly to your son having coeliac disease. Cristiana -
Hi there, I'm looking for some advice for my 2 year old. After he turned one he started eating more foods like pasta and breadsticks and our supermarket finally started to stock a soy free bread (he has an intolerance to dairy and soy) so he started eating bread for the first time. He began having foul, loose nappies, which I assumed must be teething, but this went on and on for a couple of months. Coupled with that, he started having patches of red scaly skin, a little bit like eczema but more widespread. He was also very tired and quite miserable. Given that it all coincided with him starting to eat a lot more gluten, his dietician recommended I eliminate gluten to see what happened. His poos immediately changed back to normal and were finally formed, and he’s been off gluten since last summer. Fast forward 6 months and we did a wheat challenge yesterday, giving him a small breadstick at about 11am. He seemed ok through the day but 11pm he woke up vomiting, and was sick 3 more times over the course of 90 minutes and was writhing in pain on the floor crying about “poo” which never came, and today he has done a normal poo. My two questions are: Is it possible that this was a reaction to the gluten if it came 12 hours after ingestion? Or is that too long to cause vomiting? I wonder if it’s more likely an unrelated bug but can’t work out where from as we’ve had a quiet week. Would there not be loose stools too if it was a reaction to gluten? Before going gluten-free, this was his main symptom! If it could be the gluten that caused this, where do we stand with ever testing for coeliac? Now that I know more about the testing I don’t know why his dietician didn’t recommend we do that before removing it from his diet before. Seems cruel to make him ill for the sake of a test. Grateful for any pointers or advice. Thank you!

Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the total IgA is >=10 mg/dL, the reflex test that will be ordered is the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody. Does that give some insight? following up with my Dr early next week… thanks again. And I didn’t eat more gluten than usual during the last 6-8 weeks on purpose. Just a normal diet prior to testing. I had gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks though I’m sure.
