Getting "glutened"

My 2yo son hasnit officially been diagnosed, blood and endo both negative, but the GI still thinks he has it. I feel like I struggle with this because, he looks so good off gluten I forget about him waking all night screaming, big belly, and loose stools! It's like I think it was all in my head.

Anyway, once in a blue moon he would get gluten accidentally and be up at night again or have diarrhea. Yesterday he took a bute of regular bread off someone else's plate. He didn't wake up or have diarrhea. He did seem super tired the next day.

Do symptoms change once you have been gluten free for a while? Do kids always severely react?

His lack of symptoms have me wondering if I am crazy with the whole celiac thing. (Even though GI said she thinks he has it)

Not everyone severely reacts, and symptoms vary widely.  Some people don't get GI symptoms at all, and may get fatigue, brain fog, and neurological symptoms.  Each person has their own set of symptoms, and over the years they can change either increasing or decreasing in severity.  So, no, you aren't crazy. :)

      Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with another poster.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
