Hi everyone.

I think my little one may be showing signs of celiac but I can't remember how it presents in infants. My older son was diagnosed at age 3 so his symptoms were easier for me to recognize.

Some history- my 1 1/2 yr old was diagnosed with diabetes after his 1st birthday. He had the stomach flu a month ago and since then has been miserable. He's had chronic diarrhea, nasty diaper rash, irritability, and is very slow to gain weight. Plus he just looks pale and "off". He has an appointment to see the pediatric GI after the holidays but I wanted to stop by and see what you guys thought.

I'm afraid that I might be reading too much into things but at the same time I don't want to miss anything.

Thanks!

That sounds like celiac to me. just know that each person's symptoms vary from preson to person so you can't base his symptoms off his brother's but to me (i was diagnosed when i was 20 months) it sounds like he is a celiac.

:blink: My baby had ROTO VIRUS and never was the same after. He would vomit for a few hours after he was given ( baby cereal) then it progressed to vomiting after cheerios and other things with wheat.

Mine vomits after gluten. But had no other symptoms... because I was not giving him wheat. ( I researched the heck out of celiac disease.... then totally stopped wheat. ... But if your dealing with diabetes ... wouldn't stopping wheat help your sugar levels reduce?

I think that celiac has presented its self differnetly in all of our kids. so ... your answers are gonna be differnt.

Yep- both boys were diagnosed at age 1yr. Our endo was pretty surprised to see us in the E.R. The baby is so much like his brother that they may as well be clones. They look the same, have the same medical issues, and even have the same goofy personality :)

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Fighting for a name

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.
