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.

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      Two months. In extreme situations like this where it’s clearly a smoking gun? I’m in LA so went to a very big hospital for pcp and gi and nutritionist

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
