11 Month Old With "d"

My little guy developed "D" while on vacation. He actually had the problem the day we left, which was July 7th. It's been ongoing since then, really bad while on vacation - and we just attributed it to all the changes he was experiencing... ya know, baby stress. (?)

But, it's continuing. Granted, I knew nothing about Celiac or Gluten Sensitivities when we started feeding him wheat products, but now that he's having trouble, I'm starting to wonder about him as well.

Then I also am lead to wonder how much of my worry is needless. And, what if it isn't?

Yesterday, just for kicks, I avoided all wheat with him. This morning, he had the first solid BM in a while. Green, but solid. I gave him Gerber Puffs with his lunch, which had some pasta....and wallllaaaa --- green D.

I have to take my daughter to the doctor tomorrow and I do plan to mention this issue. I'm pretty frustrated right now.... "D" for 3 weeks is nothing to sneeze at. He's well hydrated, and he's a big kid. He's over 20 lbs, and is really very long. People assume he's older than he is due to his size.

Sorry, I'm experiencing brain fog, so I might not be making much sense.

Sounds like he is gluten intolerant anyway. How is your oldest? My two oldest are gluten intolerant through enterolab. I just bought some baby oatmeal to try my youngest on. Not looking foward to that. His eczema didn't clear up until I went totally gluten and soy free. Your sig says you recently went gluten free if I remember right. I'm assuming he's had gluten in your breatmilk (if you breastfed) and was introduced to gluten and/or wheat before this. Maybe he's just reached his limit and it's time to go gluten free with him as well.

      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.

      Popcorn pain

      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 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
