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.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
