My 16 m old dd has been diagnosed with Celiac disease, but it hasn't been confirmed by a GI dr yet. Lately, DH and I have noticed that she doesn't have very many wet diapers. In fact, I could probably go all day without changing her if she didn't poop. And her nighttime diapers are really light, too. She is not dehydrated because she drinks lots of fluids during the day. She doesnt' have alot of diarrhea (just maybe once or twice a day) so I don't think that is the problem. Could it be related to her Celiac disease, or could there be something else going on? I am gonna bring it up at her GI dr's appt, but I just wanted to get an idea of what could be causing it. We are not gluten free yet since her testing isn't finished.

thanks,

I can't really relate to a 16 month olds toilet habits. But me, being quite a few years older have noticed since going gluten free I do not need to get up in the middle of the night to pee. Just what you wanted to hear, I know. But there might be a relationship between being gluten free and not being gluten free and using the toilet.

I am still drinking as much, maybe a bit more, but it sort of stands out, that hey, I don't need to use the loo in the middle of the night.

As long as your daughter keeps up her fluid intake, and her urine is not too yellow, or smells too strong, I don't think there should be a problem with it, but do bring it up at your doctors appt. You can never be too careful

I imagine that this is one of those things where the answer will go either way equally. My dd definitely had as much water going out as she did going in. I suppose that if your dd's urine were dark in color as opposed to being clear, that it may just be she isn't drinking enough water. I'm not sure how you keep track of that with a child still in diapers but I'm sure the GI would have an idea.

The only real issue that I've ever heard of with peeing and Celiac is that in undiagnosed cases, bedwetting seems to persist into older ages. But then again, I haven't looked in depth into these symptoms.

The only other thing that I can think of is that perhaps the water is being retained in her system in the abdominal swelling you are seeing. With all of the irritation in her body from being on gluten, there's bound to be a lot of swelling. So perhaps that is what is affecting her. I hope that GI will be seeing her fast and get the biopsy done soon.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
