Dry Mouth/sore Throat From Gluten?

Hi ladies

My ds has reflux and seasonal allergies

I am trying to put all the pieces together, but was wondering if anyone has a child/toddler that complains of dry mouth/throat or sore throat after being glutened?

I'm not sure if the gluten is aggravating zach's reflux, or if something else is going on

When he doesn't feel well he will open his mouth and point to the back on his throat..he also asks for a drink constantly

I also assumed it was reflux, but he doesn't burp, choke, gag,.....seem in pain otherwise

thanks

Kim

Although I am not a toddler, when I get glutened, my thirst cannot be satisfied. I feel like I'm sucking on cottonballs for about three days.

Glad I'm in good company. :)

Sorry for the side track. I have never had a child with celiac disease (as of yet). When I get glutened, I do have dry mouth and feel the need for additional water.

But, don't put all you chips is one bag. In other words, don't be "centered" on celiac. Your young guy may have other allergies that may cause him difficulties.

Apparently, he is not able to communicated yet.

I would recommed an allergy test, since he is not yet verbal, and in somewhat distress. Fluids are a great help, but not tooo much. You don't want to wash away all to good stuff.

Kim, don't look for what-if's. It will make you crazy.

Test him for alllergies with a good reliable doctor.

Thanks so much for your response

Problem is that I've heard allergy testing at his age is not very reliable

He had a skin test and RAST blood test for the top 8 and all was negative...he did get a VERY low + to RYE but again was told the result was neg.

I believe he is intolerant to alot of things and it's hard to pin point as he gets only GI issues now, not rashes etc

Thanks again for all the feedback

Kim

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
