2 Year Old Violent And Hostile After Eating A Ritz Cracker...

We were at my sister in law's house Sunday night when my son found a Ritz cracker on the floor and of course shoved it in his mouth. He didn't have diarrhea, which is is usual "glutenized" sign, in fact he didn't have a bm at all yesterday. He was violent, hostile and kinda spacey all day though. Can anyone relate to that after gluten exposure? Today he doesn't have the big D but his poop has that awful chemically smell that clears out your sinuses and he still seems a little off. He's 2 don't get me wrong, he throws stuff, screams and well...acts 2 but not like this usually.  

 

Can your symptoms of gluten exposure vary? Thanks! 

 

He was diagnosed via blood test and improvement on a gluten free diet (Oct 2012/19 month old) by his pediatrician.

Yes symptoms from accidental glutening can vary and change a bit over time.

 

Mine sound like an adult version of his.  I get a strange kind of tired and spacey within an hour of ingestion -- often followed by "out of the blue" anger and then flu like symptoms for several days.

Though I haven't eaten as much gluten as is in a cracker since going gluten free, the mood and odor sound familiar.

 

I'd make sure he drinks lots of water in the short term as it should help the symptoms ease up faster, saving him a few extra days of misery. And otherwise, I'd just make sure to avoid sugar like the plague (including too many carbs) and focus on healthy foods full of nutrients.

I'd expect to be miserable for at least 5-6 days if I ate a cracker. Poor guy. Best to both of you.

We were at a playdate once and he found a piece of pizza from my friend's daughter's lunch, and he took a bite. BAD poop with in 30 mins, diarrhea the very next morning and horrible horrible mood. Symptoms lasted about a week and a half, that time. This time around is very different, more mood issues, less bowel issues it seems. He also seems to be running a little warm too. Not sure if that is connected.

 

It's becoming very clear that we cannot take our son anywhere. Raising a gluten-free toddler in a non-gluten-free world is challenging. I love him being my little guy but on the other hand I can't wait for him to be a bit older and have an understanding of his eating restrictions.

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!

      Thankyou I will be seeing my new primary this coming Monday and will ask.I did ask about some other blood test to look for that I saw on this website.I pushed the second ANA panel two months ago thinking it would show but found out it doesn't.I don't have lupus which seems what the ANA panel seems to only look for.I have come to the conclusion that doctors are like hair people meaning all hair places know how to cut hair and style but not all know how to grow hair.I was given tramadel for nearly 20 years to push through. I literally can't no more and stopped taking tramadel since I was swelling slowly in the belly.I will diffently show new primary this website and hopefully he will help.Its so hard because im falling apart with my eye, skin and read every label and stay away from what Im not supposed to.I had SIBO test done and it died on me and didn't complete all 8 breathes just the 5.I spoke to np and was finally validated by word of mouth.Cone to find out I have to repeat again.I went to a reputable hospital to be let down.I have to redo breath test but want to do at hospital instead of at home so no issues.Its not pleasant drinking that glucose stuff and not getting a direct answer. I live in Northern Cali.What recommended gi would know about celiac  disease, really know because I thought I found one but didn't. I don't want to digest any wheat, dairy, peanuts, rye, barely, eggs,garlic, walnuts because I get sick.When i showed the reputable hospital my past food allergies i was told that test is old.My thoughts were i was made in 1971 and its still avtive with diagestive issues.
