I Am Trying Not To Borrow Worry

I am trying my best not to read too much into what is going on here, but I need some guidance from parents who are in the know...

Our youngest son(almost 10 months) has started "throwing up". I personally do not call it spitting up...it is way more than that. Before now, he has spit up less than 5 times. I know this because I was thinking earlier in the week how odd that was. But now in the last week he has done this 4-6 times.

He was born at 34 weeks and spent 23 days in ICU. He was also dx with reflux...he was on meds but that "seemed" to go away, and hasn't been on the meds for 7 months or so.

Sutton isn't running fever, acting like he feels bad, grumpy or anything like that. I guess what I am looking for is this...is this related to his reflux or could it be Celiac. Cooper never threw up like this so this is a WHOLE new symptom for us (if it is). Cooper had D, C, extreme fatigue, anemia, paleness, gas, tummy aches.

Any input would be appreciated and I won't hold you to any DX!! ;)

TIA...Dallas

It could be either. If you have another child who has been diagnosed, your younger child has a 1 in 10 chance of having celiac. And there have been posts recently where people have mentioned that throwing up was their child's only symptom of celiac.

Have there been any dietary changes recently that this might be associated with? (Is he eating anything "new"?) Or it might be a viral thing that will pass . . . . I'd say that if he throws up like this for longer than 10 - 14 days, I'd go in and have him checked for celiac in prticular, as well as having a dr. check him out in general (just in case it's something else). If he starts throwing up more often, though, I'd take him in right away. No sense in taking chances.

My daughter's only Celiac symptom was vomiting... I kept telling people that "if I didn't know better I'd say she had reflux...

My daughter was also very pale, had purple circles under her eyes and eventually was gassy and showed signs of tummy aches (this way about a month after the vomiting showed up while we were still having testing done) She threw up 1-4 times a day for appx 1.5 months until we went gluten free after her biopsy. It took about 3-5 days and she has been symptom free since then :)

I'd say Celiac is worth checking into!

My daughter would vomit and have "D". I also noticed how her belly would bloat, which was blown off by every ped. The worst thing is the tests are not that accurate in a child under 24 months.

I would talk to your doctor, just to be on the safe side - it can't hurt to have the bloodwork done at least - but I will say that my nephew Bu went through a stage (when he was 4-5) where he threw up on about a daily basis. It turned out that the problem was he was eating too fast and therefore too much and when his little tummy tried to digest everything it would panic and make him throw up. He's now 6 (and we supervise his food intake very carefully) and has no problems. It could just be a phase. . .

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
