I know celiac can cause really stinky rear exit gas but does it also cause really stinky breath? I've had my kids tested but I'm awaiting results. My 12 year old has HORRID breath and I've had him gluten free for clost to two weeks and he seems less stinky. Is this a symptom? I'm really cruious.

I'm not sure about the HORRID breath from Celiac. (still learning after 1 1/2 year diag) But I can say that if he isn't brushing his tongue or flossing that can do it for sure. My 8 year old can brush her teeth but she can have wicked breath after. I have her stick out her tongue and it usually coated white and that is plaque build up. Hopefully this little tid bit helps. Good Luck

no he's an obsessive brusher/flosser.

Dig through the "Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac Disease" section. I seem to remember there were quite a few posts about very young kids with "morning mouth" and such pre-diagnosis. You can always PM the moms if they did not come back and post follow-up results. :)

I have read that it can be caused by Candida die off. My sister(undiagnosed and 50) has really bad breath. One time she said there were bugs flying around her head but not the guy she was talking to. She says it smells like poo or something dead. We are watching her other symptoms. She has always had a mild yeast problem off and on. She has some minor gluten related symptoms.

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      Thank you so much! I will look for that.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
