Child With Neurological Symptoms

[celiacinfo02]

My 04 Years old son has been very recently diagnosed with Celiac disease.  For the last 06 days, he is on a Gluten Free diet & we are convinced to continue with it, for the rest of his life.

 

Some of the symptoms related to neurological disorders are:

1. Speech Disorder – Around 06  months back, he use to speak Rhymes & alphabets. Now it appears, he has forgotten everything. He is speaking only to an extent which is required. For example, he may speak few sentences that too, only if required , but he is not able to respond properly as may be the case for a 04 Year old kid.
2. Attentiveness – For the past 06 months, he is unable to concentrate on activities like colouring and sometimes doesn’t respond to our calls.
3. He prefers to stay alone rather than mixing with other kids.

Can anyone share their experiences as to whether these symptoms are related to Celiac.

Hello there

 

I don't want to scare you, but have you had him tested for these symptoms?  This does not sound Celiac related, but more like Autism.  

 

I really hope you can get some tests for your boy and get him some help.  

 

Good luck!   xxxx
