Son Sick After Mac N Cheese

last night I gave my 8 yr old son mac n cheese for dinner. He got really tired later in the evening and fell asleep on the floor. this is not like him. this morning he had diarrhea all morning long, it was bad he couldn't even make it to the bathroom, and was complaining that his stomach hurt. he also had a low body temp at 96. now he is back to normal so it doesn't seem like the flu or anything. He was tested last month and these were his results:

 

TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IgG result 0.28 (range <=0.90 Index)

 Tissue transglutaminase IgA result 0.08 (range <=0.90 Index)

 

I guess I'm going to start keeping a journal on him, but he is pretty gluten light, as all our dinners are gluten free. He only had mac n cheese last night because my husband and I went to dinner.

was this mac & cheese gluten free? If it wasn't they do make many gluten-free name brands of mac & cheese....

No it was regular. He tested negative so there is no reason for him to eat gluten free. Just wondering if I need to have him retested

The  decision to  retest  is  your  choice. But  to  get  an  accurate result  a person  needs to  be  consuming  a lot of  wheat.. Some  say  one  slice of  bread a  day  but  for me  if  I  had to do it  I would  go  whole  hog  &  consume  gluten  &  lots of  it....for  a  couple  of months...to make  sure  I  had  enough  wheat/.gluten in my  system  to  get  a  good  reading... because  I  would  never  ever  go through that  again.....He  may not be  celiac   but  he  could be  sensitive  ... either  way the  results  are the  same 100% gluten free  100%  of  everyday....

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Can we assume that you've been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for a while? If so, it sounds like you may be in the super sensitive group, as others here have reported similar issues when working in bakeries, pizzerias, etc. Until you find other work, and perhaps don't have roommates who cook gluten foods, you may need to consider wearing an N95 mask to avoid breathing in any particles.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      By PixieSticks · Posted

      I used to work in a kitchen where gluten was very prevalent. Cookies, sandwiches, etc. I noticed I started having joint pain, and my hands would flared up in hives while working there. I would sometimes bake cookies during my shift and open the oven having the air from the oven go directly into my face.     Even at home my roommates sometimes fry things with regular flour and my joints start to hurt, brain fog, it was hard to move for a week, I just genuinely felt weak my legs like jelly and painful.  I never put two and two together before.   I’m not eating the food I feel like it’s causing issues.   My roommates don’t think there’s a correlation as I’m not eating any of the food they’re preparing. I’m trying to find another job now, I got one coming up at a restaurant that serves gluten food and I’ll be working in the kitchen. I’m thinking I should try to find a non food job. Anyone else worked food service and have flare ups?

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.
