Help With Symptoms Or Lack Of

Hello,

In the past 6 months, my mom, my brother and his daughter have all been diagnosed with celiacs disease. My mom was 67 when she was diagnosed and my brother is 36. I am 41. I am to undergo testing next week. My mom never had symptoms until about one year after an "adhesion" surgery. Just one a whim they did the test for celiacs because her granddaughter had it. My brother did have vomiting/gas especially after Pizza. I do not feel I have any symptoms but as a rule do not eat grains often i.e. occassional bread/pasta/muffins/sweets. Now, I have 4 children. My 3rd child has UTI's (urinary tract infections) she has seen a urologist for that but she is almost 9 and she still has bowel accidents but not usually diarrhea just what I would call "pasty" for the lack of a better word. We have tried mineral oil, bowel regimens etc. but it seems to be an ongoing issue. She does not complain of abdominal pain or bloating. Has anyone ever encountered incontinence of stool in an older child like this. If I am positive I plan to have all my children worked up....should I do it anyway even if they dont have symptoms as there seems to be a genetic predispostion? Thanks Cindy

Hi Cindy welcome to the board. My children are youger so I have not encountered the same problems. We did have our kids tested once I found out. I always have the attitude that it does not hurt (that much) to have a blood test. Plus it can give you peace of mind. I think it is great that you and your extended family are taking this seriously and getting tested. There are many of us with families that are not getting tested even though they should.

My six year old had years of UTI's and even surgery with her bladder/kidney problems. I have no idea if it is gluten related or not. She just went gluten free about 8 weeks ago. My 2 yr. old son is celiac and has been gluten-free for a year and a half. We have just started putting together the problems in other family members. My (6 yr. old) daughter hasn't had a UTI since going gluten-free, but that could or could not be related. Her joint pain, knee pain, etc. has disappeard, as have a few other symptoms. She also hasn't had an "accident" since going gluten-free - something she had a lot of before. Sorry, I can't say if it is related or not, but it is interesting. . .

Thanks for your input....your right it is interesting. I had heard from another source((I don't know how reputable) that UTI's and celiacs disease could be related but have not been able to verify yet......anyone have any ideas????? I myself have had too numerous to mention UTI's since I was about 5. I will keep you posted once I get my results for celiacs next week. Cindy

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick.

I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
