Acute Response To Gluten Exposure...

My 5 y.o. was diagnosed last summer with Celiac and as far as we know hasn't been exposed to gluten since that time (although her ttg remains high). Tonight she was extremely exhausted and told me that she didn't feel like walking, barely touched her food and just put herself to bed--she seems sick, but no fever, no runny nose, no symptoms, but extremely tired. Of course, we are worried that this could be an acute response to gluten at school today (she had gluten-free cupcakes at school today, but I worry about cross-contamination), but I haven't heard of this kind of acute response to gluten. Does this sound familiar to anyone or is it just some kind of virus and I'm being paranoid. Any thoughts?

I would hold off for a few days before jumping on the "glutening" train. She could just be tired. Coming down with something. A million things. I know it's hard. Every time my DS looks at me strange I wonder "Is it something he ate?" because that is in the front of my mind. Usually it is just him getting sick or tired or being 5.

Hang in there. Give it a few days. Even if it was something she ate at school there isn't anything you can offer but support at this point anyway.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the USA only wheat-based breads are fortified with certain vitamins, but not gluten-free breads, thus we typically encourage celiacs to take multivitamin supplements.

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
