Daughter with celiac disease has accidents


KateUK

Recommended Posts

Hi

my daughter was diagnosed a few months before her third birthday. She wasn't potty trained and we understood after her diagnosis why that was later than her peer group. She was fully potty trained at three and a half and has never wet the bed once, remains dry all night since the word go. However during the day she will often have full accidents. She can be dry for days, some days she has small wet patches and other days she has full accidents.  When I ask her what's happened she often tells me she couldn't feel she needed a wee and was then too late. I'm not making a big deal of it as sometimes kids get distracted but it does happen quite a lot. She's been diagnosed 15 months and has only been glutened once that we know of (because she was sick everywhere). I just wonder if the occasional incontinence was connected to coeliac or should I just chill and put it down to her being 4! 

Thanks x

 When I was a child, I was famous in my family for knowing within minutes where the bathroom was wherever we went. I also wet the bed off and on until about 8 because I couldn't wake up and didn't feel urgency in a timely manner. My best friend has many celiacs in her family, and several of the small children are the same, even gluten free. Seems to clear up with maturity.

I say chill. She's four. ☺ - says a mom to four kids. If it persists she will let you know it's a problem.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.
