My daughter was never officialy diagnosed and had the full blood tests wich came back neg. She is five and had constipation, mood problems, always had a stomach ache, always hungry sneaking food, is only in the 5%, and so on. We put her on a gluten-free diet ourselves and saw improvment with everything except growth. When she would get glutened she would throw up. We just tested her with some cookies while she was off school this week without her knowing. She complained of a stomach ache and a bad headache wich she kept saying was getting worse throughout the day. She woke up this morning with quite a few mouth blisters. I was wondering if this is typical? I am still argueing with a few of our friends and family who says she doesn't have it and that they can grow out of it.....errr. I guess maybe I need some reasurance that I am on the right track with her....and if you think not let me know.

I think you have found your answer. I have heard of ppl getting mouth blisters when they have gluten. My dd gets a bad stomach ache when she gets glutened. ANd my mom gets headaches when she gets glutened.

Just ignore what others say and keep her on the diet. The improvement on the diet is a test by itself, and it came out positive. So you can tell ppl that she has celiac disease, or at least a gluten intolerance. You are her parent, so you get to decide what she eats, anyway.

Good Luck!

I agree! When glutened...Our daughter gets headache, stomach ache, leg cramps, extremely moody, complains about everything, D (sometimes), dry sticky eyes, it is a nightmare....so anyway I think this disease can bring on all sorts of symptoms. Trust your instinct and don't let people break you down. You know your childs behavior better than anyone else. It cannot hurt her to be gluten free!

Best of luck

My kids symptoms are all over the map with gluten. They can get a stomachache (older 2-no idea on the baby), headache (DD9), flushed cheeks (all 3), insane hunger (DD4), very tired (DD1) and become generally cranky, mean, angry kids.

I was thinking of posting this same question earlier today. Both of my children have been diagnosed with celiac disease through biopsy and we are very strict with their diet. I have recently started eating Gluten Free as well. I do not have any glaring symptoms but it doesn't hurt to eat the same way they do. Anyhow, we went to a birthday party for my niece on Saturday and my sister specifically prepared a gluten-free menu for myself, my kids and her (she is gluten-free as well). That night I had a migraine and the next morning my daughter (4) woke up not feeling well and had a slight fever of about 100.4 and then today my son (20 months) had a fever of 101.3 and was very clammy, sweating and I could tell just not feeling well. I hate to blame it on the food at the party, but I think it is ironic that the three of us all eat gluten-free and in the next two days were all feeling ill and my husband is fine.

My question is this....do any of your kids get a slight fever when they have been glutened?

Thanks!!!

My son gets overwhelmingly cross; everything upsets him... we can always tell when he has had some form of cross contamination because he will come in to a room and if someone even says hello, he is grumpy and crying... banging things around the place, generally a nightmare. He will also complain of stomach ache but it is never generalised... kind of all over so I think (as he is only 5) that he just cant voice exactly whats wrong - that he feels horrible all over. Thats my reading of it but boy does he get mean and cranky!!! We try to avoid cross contamination at all costs!!!

By the way I have read in tonnes of places on this board and on other sites that children (and adults) with celiac suffer from canker sores (or blisters) in the mouth... so sounds definite to me.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
