Nervous Tics from Gluten Contamination?

My 7 year old was diagnosed celiac 3 years ago. Over the past year or so, he sporadically gets these nervous tics, and the most recent one has coincided with a known gluten contamination episode - I didn't notice if previous tics were linked to contamination.

So, my question is - has anyone else had something similar happen to them?

Thanks.

I've never had tics from gluten exposure but ask your child's Dr. about undiagnosed strep throat and tics! Or a magnesium deficiency....very common in kids with celiac

Thank you. I think Magnesium might be a good idea.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
