Dry Mouth/sore Throat From Gluten?

Hi ladies

My ds has reflux and seasonal allergies

I am trying to put all the pieces together, but was wondering if anyone has a child/toddler that complains of dry mouth/throat or sore throat after being glutened?

I'm not sure if the gluten is aggravating zach's reflux, or if something else is going on

When he doesn't feel well he will open his mouth and point to the back on his throat..he also asks for a drink constantly

I also assumed it was reflux, but he doesn't burp, choke, gag,.....seem in pain otherwise

thanks

Kim

Although I am not a toddler, when I get glutened, my thirst cannot be satisfied. I feel like I'm sucking on cottonballs for about three days.

Glad I'm in good company. :)

Sorry for the side track. I have never had a child with celiac disease (as of yet). When I get glutened, I do have dry mouth and feel the need for additional water.

But, don't put all you chips is one bag. In other words, don't be "centered" on celiac. Your young guy may have other allergies that may cause him difficulties.

Apparently, he is not able to communicated yet.

I would recommed an allergy test, since he is not yet verbal, and in somewhat distress. Fluids are a great help, but not tooo much. You don't want to wash away all to good stuff.

Kim, don't look for what-if's. It will make you crazy.

Test him for alllergies with a good reliable doctor.

Thanks so much for your response

Problem is that I've heard allergy testing at his age is not very reliable

He had a skin test and RAST blood test for the top 8 and all was negative...he did get a VERY low + to RYE but again was told the result was neg.

I believe he is intolerant to alot of things and it's hard to pin point as he gets only GI issues now, not rashes etc

Thanks again for all the feedback

Kim

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄

      Endoscopy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given your history of a high TTG (167) that decreased to 16 on a gluten-free diet, along with genetic confirmation of celiac disease, it’s likely the negative biopsy is a false negative due to not eating gluten before the endoscopy. Gluten is necessary to trigger the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease, and avoiding it can lead to healing and a normal biopsy despite ongoing immune activity (reflected in your still-elevated TTG). The inflammation observed during the endoscopy (“diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa”) could be residual damage, mild ongoing inflammation, or another condition like peptic duodenitis, but it’s consistent with celiac disease in context. Continued positive blood markers suggest ongoing gluten exposure, possibly from cross-contamination or hidden sources. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet and follow-up testing are key to managing symptoms and reducing inflammation. Discuss these findings with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and refine your dietary approach. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Yes, it sounds like great progress, but what was the time frame between the two endoscopies?
