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.

My mouth gets dry, I'm so thirsty and I find it hard to talk around my tongue. :unsure:

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

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
