Gluten Reaction Vs Stomach Virus In 3 Year Old

My 3 year old has had diarrhea & has been complaining of an upset stomach with very little appetite for almost 4 days now.  The diarrhea the first day was the worst and now the diarrhea has gotten better, but is not gone and he's still complaining of an upset stomach and not eating much.  Is this just a stomach virus?  We were out of town just before this hit, so we were in a home that was not gluten free (yet I fed him all gluten-free foods-mostly things I packed from home).

 

I'm just not sure what to look for in a gluten reaction for him. 

 

Thanks for your help!

I am sorry that he is feeling unwell!

It could be either. Not what you wanted to hear. We tend to forget that we pick up "bugs" and not everything is related to celiac disease.

I agree. it could be either one.  If the stomach upset lingers for a couple of weeks, I would assume it was gluten.  If he gets a fever and runny nose, it was a virus or bacteria.

 

Either way, I hope he feels better soon.

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
