Thanks to you all who answered my post two months ago when my son was diagnosed.  We immediately stopped gluten and the changes have been truly amazing - he's gained 3.5 pounds in 8 weeks, has SO much more energy, eats a ton and is just so happy.
This is a bit of a TMI topic, but I feel like someone may have some insight!  Before the diagnosis, his stools were always light colored, mostly yellow.  He was breastfed until 13 months, so this was never odd for me, but once we stopped gluten, they became a normal brown color.  In the past few days they have been very loose again and yellow.  He has not had any gluten, but now I'm worried.  Could this be something else?  Or did people notice that things were up and down for the first few months?  We are super careful with cross contamination, but I'm worried he could be extremely sensitive and getting trace amounts now.

Thank you as always!

I'm so glad that he is doing so much better! Wonderful!  

 

My guess is that this is just a blip on his road to recovery.  I found that the first 6 months or so was very much of the "2 steps forward and 1 step back" variety.  It can take a few months for the autoantibodies to stop being made and even longer to recover after that.  If you are sure that he is gluten-free, then this is probably a temporary step backwards. Keep an eye out for possible gluten or signs of illness (flu season is approaching) and keep doing what you are doing,  Chances are that it will pass soon.  :)

 

That being said, its always a good idea to recheck labels and possibilities for cc.

 

Best wishes.

I just posted a similar post about me.  I'm a little over 2 months into this and seem to have gone backwards.  I know I haven't had anything with gluten as well.  Others replied that they had a similar experience around the same time so I just let it slide that it was normal.

Healing the gut takes time. During the healing phase, random reactions are common and do not necessarily mean you have ingested gluten. It is just part of the process. Timing varies with the degree of damage and the age of of the person, but it will usually take several months and maybe as much as two years. Be patient.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
