Dry Mouth/sore Throat From Gluten?

[kimber]

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

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.

Thanks so much

I am going to be VERY VERY strict on the gluten free diet and see how he does...

thanks for the response!

ditto, same for me. My mouth gets sooo dry and sometimes it's hard to articulate, my tougue trips me up sometime. "do I have a witness?"......no don't answer that.

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

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
