Im trying to find answers for my 3 yr old boy. He was fully toilet trained for 2 weeks shortly after that he got a fungal infection on his bum and stopped doing poohs on the toilet

After Easter he began having contstant really soft to watery looking and foul smelling poohs and did about 10+ a day so I cut dairy out and he was fine for about 2 weeks then he started having his foul smelling diahrea poops again so I put him back on dairy. Then i found out he had a parasite and was on antibiotics for a week and this seemed to have worked then the day after off his antibiotics he went back to his foul smelling poops again still doing it all day long. Got another test done for parasites it was negative. Tested for celiac that was negative. He had gastro after the parasite as well. He also has low iron and low white blood cells waiting to see the results if they are still low if it is he will be referred to a specialist. 

But I am wondering about an intolernace to gluten? I have put him on gluten free diet and he is doing really well on it, his grandparents gave him a crumbed sausage and fish fingers and he seems to have had a few bouts of diahrea again and it is like there is wheat in his poop as well which he has had before starting gluten free. 

Does anyone have any ideas at all?

Exactly which celiac blood tests were given?  Kids tend to test differently than adults.

I should also add that he gets these red lines and red raised spots under his eyes as well and he has also had a rash on his elbows a few months back, i thought he was getting eczema because I have had since I was 5 but seeing the celiac rash it looked exactly the same he just hasnt had it since. About a year ago he went through a phase where after lunch he would wake up from a sleep and scream for about an hour rolling around the floor and try to get up but couldnt like he was in a lot of pain but since then he has not had a day time sleep.

There are over 200 symptoms of celiac disease and some people do not have any symptoms!  I would recommend getting copies of the lab tests.  You should really keep all copies of medical records for your family.   If he did not get the complete panel, then you can request it.  

By the way, in order for celiac tests to work, you must be consuming gluten daily.  So, keep eating gluten until you are satisified that all testing has ruled out celiac disease.  

Tests:

Open Original Shared Link

Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA and (tTG) IgG
-Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and (DGP) IgG
-EMA IgA 
-total serum IgA and IgG (control test)
-AGA IGA and AGA IgG - older and less reliable tests largely replace by the DGP tests
 
-endoscopic biopsy - make sure at least 6 samples are taken
 
VERY IMPORTANT:  Keep eating gluten daily until ALL testing is complete or the tests can be inaccurate.

i hope he feels better soon!

Thank you. I have gotten a printout of my sons results and he had a Gliadin IgG and TTG IgA test done and it just says not detected.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @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).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      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.
