Sunken Eyes A Symptom?

My little guy has always had a healthy facial appearance but since giving him barley this past week (he's not diagnosed as of yet) I have noticed the skin underneath his eyes have become dark, like he's been hit but instead of swelling it's sunken in. Does that make sense? Is this typical?

It is typical of iron deficiency which is common in Celiac children from what I've heard. May want to get levels checked.

Would that have just shown up though, within the past couple of days? He just had his iron checked 2 months ago.

Poor thing. Allergies do that, as can sleep loss.

I don't know if this helps....

But whenever I get glutened I often look like I haven't slept in months...the area under my eyes gets really dark....

Lasts a few days to a few weeks depending...

This is exactly it! He's never had the black eye effect before I purposefully glutened him the other day.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      Current "gluten challenge" recommendations are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily leading up to the day of the biopsy.

      Testing for celiac

      Thank you for your input!  I would really like to know if I have celiac disease because you need make sure you are not getting any cross contamination due to cancer concerns.  I guess I need to start with a knowledgeable Gastroenterologist. Thank you again!

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.
