Eczema - Symptom? Paranoid Since His Sister Has Celiac

Hi!

 

I have a 6 year old that has Celiac disease.  She's had it since she was 1 year old.  We are very used to it....however, that also makes me paranoid to it.  My 3 year old hasn't been tested, he has no symptoms of it so his ped decided it's not necessary yet. Recently he developed Eczema on this thighs, it keeps getting worse.  I noticed it was particularly bad tonight after he had eaten non gluten free spaghetti.  (Currently my daughter and I eat gluten free, the other 3 kids and my husband do not, with a family of 6 most things we make are gluten-free but not all.  my daughter and I were both tested and have the HLADQ2.5 gene).
 

Am I being paranoid and thinking this when it's typical toddler eczema???

 

Thanks!

Depending on where you live, it could be weather related.  My DD's eczema gets bad from about now till March/April. Slather him up in a GOOD cream after a warm bath and you may stop it from progressing.

That said, it's recommended that any blood relatives be tested every 3 years OR if they exhibit signs. It may be something to consider to have a baseline of where things are now!

It could be, especially if it keeps getting worse.

Thanks so much guys!  I will keep an eye on it and if it does flare up more with some things he eats than others.  Once you have a child with it you seem to want to blame everything in the other kids on it, LOL!

Shadowicewolf - do you have a good lotion you use?  I bookmarked a list, but wondered if any of them work better than others.

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
