Will Gluten Make Blood Sugars Go Up In A Child With Both Diabetes And Celiac?

I'm not sure how many of you have children with both Diabetes and Celiac but my son was diagnosed with Celiac in March and he had gluten on accident Monday. His blood sugar levels have been INSANE since then. I'm not sure if it's the gluten since this is the first time I know for certain he's had gluten since being diagnosed. He's also being super emotional. If this is because of the gluten how long should we expect it to go on? Thanks!

Hi, my son is older now (21) but has had diabetes since age 9. Anytime he gets sick with intestinal issues his blood sugars go nuts. He has refused to get tested for celiac, but I am sure he is gluten intolerant at the least. He is extremely moody after gluten containing meals. Spaghetti used to make him almost hostile. After illnesses, it would take him about a week after getting well to get his sugars under control. (He doesn't live at home now so I can only pray and bug him every now and then about getting tested)

I think anytime there is a physical reaction to a food or an emotional upset the blood sugars are affected. You have a tough job, I know and are being a kind and conscientious mom. Hope the little guy is better soon.

Yes, gluten makes my son's blood sugars rise. In fact, he had a gluten accident at school on Tuesday and was in DKA yesterday :(

It takes a couple of days for his blood sugars to stabalize afterwards.

yes, gluten will play havoc with blood sugars -as will illness and emotional upset as already mentioned. Then you get to the teen years and ups and downs from hormones! One day at a time.

It is hard but you are not alone.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
