Not Sure What This All Means...?

My youngest is almost 13 months. He had a ttg and all came back fine. He is small, but has always been a terrible eater (at first it was because his tounge was tied - that broke on it's own). He seems to have some texture issues though - and still has some trouble chewing. He did grow before his last appt and is 50% in height again, but is still 25% in weight. He hasn't gained any weight since he was 10 months old. He is EXTREMELY active. For example, I found him on the kitchen table today :o . He runs. He JUMPS! The doctor thinks that some of his weight issues could be that he is just so active and doesn't eat much table food. But he also said that if he hasn't picked up much weight by his next appt (15 mo) - he would call the GI at Children's again to look into other ways to see if it's celiac...

So the last two weeks I've really been pushing the table food and switched him from his formula to whole milk. His poop went from regular to bright green (like neon) and now to mustard yellow. Any idea what this means? Do you think he's intolerant to milk? Or do you think that it's all of the table food (and gluten therefore) that he's been eating? I'm so confused. I plan on calling my doctor tomorrow - but I was just trying to get some ideas...?

So I went and saw the Dr this morning - he went ahead and referred me to a GI. I can't get in for 2 weeks. Any suggestions what to do until then? Should I keep a food diary for the GI? Or cut back on his table food with gluten...?

If you cut back on the amount of gluten he's consuming, it could skew test results. Does he seem to be in any significant pain or is it just his stools that have changed? If it's just his stools that have changed, I would continue to push the table food. You only have two weeks to wait.

My daughter was the same way, very active at a very early age, and skinny. She's still at 50% for height at 25% for weight and she looks great. She's a little bundle of muscles. It seems to me that 50/25 is still well within the normal range. That being said, if you're Celiac, then he has a much greater risk of being Celiac and you should definitely have him checked periodically.

Yes, he is in pain - I think! He's waking up 3 or 4 times a night and just cries for 5 minutes or so and then goes back to sleep. He seems to have much more gas and burps quite frequently.

I think I would worry less if 5o/25 was closer to where he started out - but he seems to just keep getting lower...

The doctor said the color indicates that his stool is passing through him much more quickly - too quickly...

For my son yellow poop means that he has been exposed to gluten. When he goes off gluten, it takes about 5 days to turn back to brown. Also night waking.

alot of burping sounds like it could be reflux.

If he has reflux that could be making him wake up at night as well. Some kids have reflux without us really knowing it. It's called "silent reflux." My son has a pretty severe case of this and also wakes up many times during the night crying. Food issues as far as texture and refusal to eat are also signs of reflux.

I'm glad you got in with the GI. He should be able to figure it out. I say that a little hesitantly because we've had our fair share of TERRIBLE Gi's but we cannot possibly be the norm and I'm sure yours will be fine.

Good luck to you!

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?

      trents:  Why some can tolerate european bread but not american bread.     I take 600 mcg a day.  Right in the middle of the safe range.   Groups at Risk of Iodine Inadequacy Though though the NIH does not specifically list Celiac Disease in this group, they state: "Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and duodenum. Iodate is reduced in the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed as iodide [2,5]."  That would certainly include malabsorption of Iodine due to Celiac Disease with resultant Iodine Deficiency. Vegans and people who eat few or no dairy products, seafood, and eggs People who do not use iodized salt Pregnant women People with marginal iodine status who eat foods containing goitrogens Deficiencies of iron and/or vitamin A may also be goitrogenic [51] https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessiona   1

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails.
