Hello all, my 1 year old was diagnosed about a month ago and my wife and I were in complete shock. After the endoscopy came back clear, our doctor mentioned the possibility of celiac when the biopsy was studied.

It can cause pain but not always which makes it tricky with a child that young. A lot of people get stomach pain/cramps, but not everyone. Most parents will notice a difference in bowel movements and/or behavior. You'll probably have to go by the symptoms he had that lead you to seek a diagnosis.

Just because no one in your family was diagnosed, doesn't mean that no one in your family has it. 1 in 133 Americans have Celiac and yet 97% of them are undiagnosed. Celiac symptoms range from debilitating to no overt symptoms (called silent Celiac). All first degree relatives of a dx'ed Celiac are recommended to have the full Celiac panel run. It "runs" in families because there is a genetic link to Celiac. The two main Celiac genes are HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8, which about 30% of the American population has (one or both). Just having the gene alone does NOT mean that you have Celiac. About 98% of diagnosed Celiacs have one or both of these genes.

The statistics for a family member having it are:

Group Prevalence (from a 2003 study by Dr. Alessio Fasano)

First degree relatives 1 in 22

Second-degree relatives 1 in 39

Symptomatic patients 1 in 56

Not-at-risk individuals (overall prevalence) 1 in 133

Hi!

I just came across your post. I would recommend you go to the Parents of Children and Babies Message Board here on Celiac.com, it is great to talk with other parents about your concerns, questions, etc. My husband and I have two small children and they have both been diagnosed with celiac disease through biopsy. Our oldest is now 4.5 and she was diagnosed about a month before she turned 3. Our youngest is 20 months and he was just diagnosed about 4 weeks ago. It was so much easier with our daughter, even though she was barely 3, she could talk and tell us how she was feeling. Her tummy certainly hurts when she gets even a spec of gluten but more importantly is her behavior. This is very common in children with celiac disease. Their behavior is terrible when they are "glutened". I would really recommend you go to the Parents of the Children and Babies part of this Message Board, I think you will find it most helpful!

Good luck to you and please know....it will get easier!!!

:)

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply. I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting...

      @Jmartes71, Been here. It's okay. You're not imagining things, but there's no bugs or parasites in your skin. The cats are not infecting you with anything. That's a hyperkeratotic plug that builds up in a hair follicle which does go deep and is attached by the hair sheath that looks stringy. It's a type of thing seen commonly in Dermatitis...

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.

This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting. I don't think that touching or throwing bread around would lead to you ingesting enough to cause a reaction. There are case reports of farmers with coeliac disease reacting to the dust from gluten-containing animal feed but they were inhaling large amounts of dust over a long period of time in barns. Perhaps you episodes are caused by a reaction to something other than gluten? Have you had your antibody levels checked to see whether you are still being exposed to gluten?
