Hi, My 3 year old daughter has been diagnosed as Celiac for 6 months now. She has accidently had gluten 2 times (that i know of) and she has the worst behaviour for 7-10 days. Crying, extremely frustrated, kicking, biting, screaming etc. I wondered if anyone else has experienced this with their children and how long their reaction lasted for?? what other reactions did they have?? Its really stressing me out, not knowing if it was the gluten she had or other problems. I'd appreaciate hearing other parents experiences.

Not sure if I can help you but my almost 3 yr old has been gluten free for 1 year now and she is still fuzzy, whiny, cries a lot, does not sleep well, and to top it off she is tube fed because she stopped eating and drinking..... I asked the dr about removing and going totally gluten free in my household and he told me there was no need that she is not that bad but then why is she like this and she is also sick all the time (cold for the last 4 months, vomiting off and on)..... I am going to try to go completely gluten free and see if things change for us.... Good luck

Thanks for your reply Bonnie. It sounds like you have your hands full! It makes you sick in the stomach doesn't it, not knowing what the best thing is for these kids?? I guess it will be a bit trial and error. All the best with you guys all going gluten free.

Our 5 1/2 year old son (gluten free for 3 1/2 years) has behavioral issues that start within 2-3 hours after exposure and last for about 5-6 days. Then it takes a week to re-train him that he now is actually able to control his impulses, shouldn't haul off and hit someone the moment he is unhappy, and to not run and kiss every person he likes about 100 times a day. He gets very bipolar in his behavior. He also sticks his fingers and other things in his mouth more after he's been exposed, too, so sometimes one episode can lead to several and the behavioral problems can really last a long time.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By Skg414228 · Posted

      Okay yeah that helps! To answer your last bit my understanding was that you need to have multiple tests to confirm celiac. Blood, biopsy, dna, and then I think symptoms is another one. Either way I think everything has to be confirmed with the biopsy because that is the gold standard for testing (Doctors words). You also answered another question I forgot to ask about which is does a high value push to a higher % on those scales. I truly appreciate your answers though and just like hearing what other people think. Digging into forums and google for similar stuff has been tough. So thank you again!

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      The tests outlined in the article I linked are rated according to "sensitivity" and "specificity". Sensitivity refers to how well the test does in not missing those who actually have the disease being tested for, in this case, celiac disease. The DGP-IGA test is estimated to have a sensitivity of 75% to 95%.  Specificity refers to how well the test does in not producing a positive score to medical conditions other than the one being tested for, in this case, celiac disease.  The DGP-IGA test is estimated to have a specificity of 90% to 100%. Obviously, in your case there is no issue with sensitivity. So, the only remaining question would be in relation to specificity. It is my observation from participating in this forum for many years and reading the posted test results from many, many forum contributors, that the likelihood of misdiagnosis due to a specificity issue diminishes greatly with high test score numbers. Still, there is a slight chance it could be due to something else. Think about it. If this were not so, why would your GI doc even be scheduling you for a biopsy?

      It is interesting you mentioned that it could be other things because I asked my gastro and she literally said it means nothing else. That that value was only considered for Celiac which is kind of why I asked here because I didn't understand how a celiac only value could be high and it wasn't celiac.

      I did read this article and all it helped me determine was that I am too dumb lol. Plus with DGP IGA 75-95 is a huge range. I was also confused on if it meant 75-95% of people with positive dgp iga have it or if it meant that of 100% of the people that have Celiac 75-95% this value will be positive.  Most of my symptoms are GI related but the other one that stands out is inflammation. It almost felt like I had body aches and I have soreness right now that I don't have when I am on the paleo diet full time (which is gluten free when you never cheat on it, which I was occasionally). My doctor suspected Raynauds but never did a blood test for it, and then I have had ADHD which I can't remember if it was directly related or not. I have a healthy mix of a lot of stuff going on so honestly it would be a relief if it was celiac because I could at least manage that. Im a pretty healthy person exercise daily high intensity and endurance and a pretty good diet but I haven't been able to lose weight in like 7 years.
