My 16 month old son has celiac and severe asthma. Has anyone else experienced asthma in relation with celiac?

I have asthma and celiac disease. From what I understand asthma is one of a cluster of problems having to do with the auto-immune system....a very wide variety of issues, everything from eczema and psoriasis to arthritis and fibramyalgia. Makes sense I guess ;)

Asthma, also being an issue with the immune system, has been correlated with celiac, though not incredibly strongly. She may see some improvement in her asthma after being gluten-free long enough. For me, it's not that so much as avoiding my triggers. ;-)

There are three of us in my household with asthma...a couple of us really badly. Once on the gluten-free diet, it took several months, but the asthma is stable and rarely rears its ugly head anymore. I can almost guarantee when my 13 yr old daughter has gotten into something while out with her friends. She bloats up, becomes irritable, wets the bed again, and can't breathe. Then comes the itching and a breakout. The really bad thing is that some extended family members don't even believe in celiac so when she is at their house they won't even attempt to accomodate her needs. Anybody else deal with that one? I can't exactly tell her she can't see her grandparents!

I thought I should warn everyone. I thought I had a cold and it ended up being pneumonia. I had waited two weeks to go to the doctor, because I tend to push myself. I hadn't thought that due to a compromised immune system we might be more prone to it.

You should also look to milk as an asthma trigger.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.

      Is Gliadin X recommended/safe for accidental glutening or where there is a risk of cross contamination? Or is there any other recommendation in such case? We travel alot to meet family and dine out as well. There is always risk of accidental glutening and cross contamination. Thanks.

      So, is their reasoning for doing another biopsy after you've been gluten free for awhile to get a comparison of before and after? In other words, there should be healing of the SB lining if you go gluten free for awhile if you have celiac disease?

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Tazzy11! Yes, your DGP-IGG test is positive. It means you could have celiac disease. But there are other possible causes for an elevated DGP-IGG count. I note that your TTG-IGA was not positive. The TTG-IGA is considered the chief celiac antibody test and a bit more reliable than the DGP-IGG. But let me ask you an important question. Prior to the blood draw, had you already begun to limit your intake of gluten? Also, were these the only two tests ordered to check for celiac disease? A physician should always order what we call the "total IGA" test (it goes by other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, the scores for individual IGA celiac antibody tests, such as the TTG-IGA will be falsely low. By the way you spelled "coeliac" I judge you must be in the UK. There are several other antibody tests that can ordered when checking for celiac disease in order to get a more complete picture. Here is an article outlining the various tests:
