Was My Son Glutened

Yesterday, my son had to take an pie to school for math class, cause they were discussing pi, i told him he would not be able to eat the banana cream pie. Well him being the teenager that he is, he ate some of the pie, but said i didnt touch the crust so i thought i would be ok. The other day he ate an breakfast burritoe and didnt eat the tortialla and said he thought he would be ok to, but it only hurt a tiny bit that day. he came home last night in tears from the pain.

But now i sit here and wonder, is he gluten intolerant or lactose intolerant. Since it was the cream in the pie that made him so sick.

We dont have an diagnoses for him yet, so i am still confused. I just know that I and his teacher saw an improvement when he was eatling less gluten and drinking soy milk.

What would you all think, gluten or lactose, or maybe a little bit of both? What do u think i should do next. Im thinking maybe seeing an allergy dr, or how do u test for lactose intolerant. Our appt with the ped Gi isnt til april 11.

He also said his poop is floating and very stinky

any help i would appreciate

Eating the pie filling and not the crust, to me is the same as eating gluten. You may have heard many here say that you just can't take the croutons off the salad - a new clean salad is a must.

I suspect that you step son glutened himself. I am sorry for for his distress. :(

Also, in addition the lactose is absorbed on the tips of the villi, if he had damage to his villi, he could very well be reacting to the lactose.

That is what i told him, even if it is by each other, u can get sick. But he is still having a hard time with this all. I am so happy he starts spring break after today, I can keep an eye on him and have time to sit down and have an long talk with him, I even bought him the cleiacs for dummy book, and i bought me the Dr Green book, they should be both in next week. I think if he reads more about it, he will finally start to listen to me. And I am so happy he will be home to watch The View on wednesday, i think that will help to.

He was sick this morning, but he wanted to go to school today, he has an wrestling meet after school. I am so happy i will be at the meet tonight to make sure he is ok.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
