Sand, Gritty, Like Bowels Or Stools

I have a 2 and a half year old little boy that is having sandy grainy like poops. Usually brown and tan in color. He has had the mucous kind and those look disgusting but mostly it's the sandy kind. At the moment he has a horribly raw butt. He has an appointment sit up to see his pediatrician on the 2nd of November. I want him tested for Celiac. I started yesterday evening stripping his diet of all gluten. And already his poop has changed to semi normal and he's pooping less. He usually has a good bit of 4 to 5 or more sandy poops a day. When searching these types of poops nothing really comes up. Even researching the symptoms of celiac shows nothing about the sand like poops. They get so bad at times the only way to get the mess off of him is by putting him into the shower. Does anyone else have the issue?

If you plan on having him tested, blood, biopsy or both, you need to keep him on gluten. If it is celiac, the healing can start and the test will be negative.

About the sandy poop, I'm not sure.

      Need advice for some relief!

      By Kayla S · Posted

      I have been dealing with dermatitis herpetiformis as long as I can remember, as of the past 6 years I’ve been able to stay on a strict enough diet to have minimal flare ups, but recently I’ve ate gluten on accident and it has caused a horrible flare up, I’m currently on a strong dose of prednisone because I don’t have an official diagnosis and the doctor would only treat it as normal hives, does anyone have any home remedies to help with the intense itching, any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

      Months of diarrhea - Testing question

      By MichelleGrant · Posted

      Thanks for your thoughtful response. I got the blood test today, which was a full celiac serology. I'm not going to hold my breath over the blood test showing anything up, but you never know. I get the results Friday next week. For the next week I'm going to enjoy feeling well as I eat gluten free. My energy is still lagging a bit, but my gut is feeling so much better. I live in Australia where its very easy to eat gluten free. I'm absolutely dreading potentially doing the 6-week gluten challenge and the damage it will do to my insides. Is it worth it? I'm not sure. But long term I'll be strict with cross-contamination/ soy sauce/ tiny amounts if I know its actually celiac disease and not a bad intolerance.
