Help with diaper rash!

Our two year old was diagnosed with celiac two months ago. We went totally gluten free in our home and he doesn't go to daycare or anything outside the home. He has been reacting really positively to the new diet. Three days ago he started complaining of itching all over his body. He now has a terrible diaper rash. We have changed his lotion and shampoo to gluten free versions so I'm wondering if he's having an allergic reaction to that. We are still using the same desitin we always used (new tube though). I thought I found that regular desitin is gluten free and he has never reacted to it before. I'm not sure what to do to help him. Any advice would be great.

Welcome!

Hey, I found that I was reacting to baby wipes.  We found them useful camping etc even after my kid grew out of diapers.  It can be found in many products.    Here is more information:

So when my babies had the terrible, horrible, nothing helps diaper rash I learned that just plain corn starch is the way to go.  Go to the baking part of the store and buy the regular corn starch for $2.  My oldest had it so bad he would scream the whole time we tried to change him.  Then I started using the corn starch and all was well.  It takes the fire out of the burn and it dries up the rash so it can heal.

Are you nursing?  If so, are you gluten free?  Gluten from my diet seemed to effect my nursing baby's skin.  (I don't have celiac, but am rather a mom and wife of two celiacs).  When I went totally gluten-free, his rash totally cleared up.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
