Was My Son Glutened

Yesterday, my son had to take an pie to school for math class, cause they were discussing pi, i told him he would not be able to eat the banana cream pie. Well him being the teenager that he is, he ate some of the pie, but said i didnt touch the crust so i thought i would be ok. The other day he ate an breakfast burritoe and didnt eat the tortialla and said he thought he would be ok to, but it only hurt a tiny bit that day. he came home last night in tears from the pain.

But now i sit here and wonder, is he gluten intolerant or lactose intolerant. Since it was the cream in the pie that made him so sick.

We dont have an diagnoses for him yet, so i am still confused. I just know that I and his teacher saw an improvement when he was eatling less gluten and drinking soy milk.

What would you all think, gluten or lactose, or maybe a little bit of both? What do u think i should do next. Im thinking maybe seeing an allergy dr, or how do u test for lactose intolerant. Our appt with the ped Gi isnt til april 11.

He also said his poop is floating and very stinky

any help i would appreciate

Eating the pie filling and not the crust, to me is the same as eating gluten. You may have heard many here say that you just can't take the croutons off the salad - a new clean salad is a must.

I suspect that you step son glutened himself. I am sorry for for his distress. :(

Also, in addition the lactose is absorbed on the tips of the villi, if he had damage to his villi, he could very well be reacting to the lactose.

That is what i told him, even if it is by each other, u can get sick. But he is still having a hard time with this all. I am so happy he starts spring break after today, I can keep an eye on him and have time to sit down and have an long talk with him, I even bought him the cleiacs for dummy book, and i bought me the Dr Green book, they should be both in next week. I think if he reads more about it, he will finally start to listen to me. And I am so happy he will be home to watch The View on wednesday, i think that will help to.

He was sick this morning, but he wanted to go to school today, he has an wrestling meet after school. I am so happy i will be at the meet tonight to make sure he is ok.

      Your doctor is most likely correct here, and if you had high tTg-IGA and villous atrophy you likely have celiac disease and need to be gluten-free. If regular small amounts of gluten get in your diet, it will prevent recovery. Eating out in restaurants is the primary source of such contamination.

      Mostly trial and error and noticing the effects of the supplements over time. It's important to look at the bottom of my original post in this thread to see nutrients that can be toxic in higher does, especially over long periods of time.

      As @trents mentioned, removing gluten if you have celiac disease would be key to villi recovery, and if you still are having issues trying to identify other triggers would be the next step, even though the additional intolerances will not likely contribute to villi recovery. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

      Well, it certainly seems reasonable to get checked for Crohn's since you have a family member with it and SIBO. You might also consider talking to your physician about a trial on an immunosuppressant, like prednisone, to see if numbers go down and symptoms subside. Sometimes, just interrupting the inflammatory cycle can effect a reset and put you on the road to health.

      I am wondering how you developed this supplementation regimen? Was it just through trial and error? Did you base this trial and error on blood tests or symptom improvement? It cost me $300 for the blood tests, so I would prefer not to do those regularly
