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. . .

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
