Diarrhea after exercise and 10 year old celiac


Ari's mom

Recommended Posts

Ari's mom Rookie

Hello, My 10 year old son has been doing well on a gluten-free diet for almost two years. He also showed some intolerance to dairy but we have not eliminated dairy (he eats cheese and yogurt). He recently had a few months break from swim team  but is now swimming regularly again and has had diarrhea after practice all week. I am wondering if there may be more showing of a dairy intolerance through the intense physical activity. My thoughts are to wait another week before making any changes but had anyone had a child with celiac with a similar reaction to exercise?

Have you considered that he is swallowing lots of pool water that may not be clean?  I am a swimmer.  While our pool is constantly checked, not all pools are especially if there have been high temperatures and lots of swimmers.  People with diarrhea  should not swim per state health regulations (at least in our state).    He may have picked up a bacteria or parasite.

Positive no gluten in the diet? A 10 year-old in a sport with the new school year starting....

I wonder if this is happening to other kids in the swim class. Might be worth checking if you can. Maybe somebody made an error with pool chemicals. You could also talk to your local heath dept and see if they will check a vial of the water for possible contamination with bacteria.

Has he just started a new school year? Is he taking any classes like art or what we used to call home ec? Both would be high on the CC list.

I hope this gets figured out soon and he gets some relief.

Please let me know what art supplies have gluten in them.

play doh, some non-toxic paints, non-toxic glues and pastes are examples.

I've never used play doh (expensive to purchase for hundreds of kids) as a supply in my art room, but certainly paint and glue is plentiful. I had no earthly idea about gluten being in paint and glue!

Thank you for all of these suggestions to consider in the coming week. I hadn't considered that he could be coming into contact with gluten at school, whether that be through art supplies or not...all things to think about. And, he has a good friend in swimming who is also celiac so I may talk with the friend's parent about whether she has seen this with her son.

You may want to talk to other parents also. This may not be celiac related. It may be due to something contaminating the pool or a new sensitivity to a pool chemical.  When we have celiac we tend to attribute everything to that and sometimes the problem isn't related to celiac at all.

      Not officially diagnosed yet I goto the doctor a week from today but I'm 110% that will be the diagnosis I honestly can't believe my doctors/health care team hasn't put it together before I mean I'm basically the live and walking definition straight from the book haha I don't think I've ever been so sure on anything before I'm just reqly concerned for this diet I will be living on or diets I guess due to type 1 diabetes, gastroparesis, gerd, celiac disease, and lactose intolerance...what is left? A sand salad with a side of rain water?!? I definitely see a tough future

      Welcome to the forum, @Tlbaked13! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? It is well-known that celiac disease can result in peripheral neuropathy but so can diabetes.

      Lactic acid bacteria start to develop as soon as flour and water are mixed, so I assumed that in a yeast dough with long proofing time there could be some effect of fermentation and gluten break down.

      I am COMPLETELY new to this celiac disease however I have had the same feelings and then some with my feet for years now and been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy myself but they blamed and attempted to treat due from my type 1 diabetes and none of the treatment has helped at all so far so possible from celiac disease? Just sharing MY thoughts on this I've had zero confirmation

      I've not heard of the DNA test I will definitely look into that. And I did not know that the neuropathy was symptoms of vitamin deficiency. I have been trying to get on a good vitamin regimen. Thank you!
