Ok We've Removed Gluten, Now Is He Having Trouble With Dairy?

We removed wheat/gluten on 3/19...he got glutened on 3/24...but today 3/28 after his preschool lunch (corn chips and tostitos cheese con queso provided by me from home) he had ab destention, a huge knot in his bellyand has been complaining my tummy hurts. Do you think it was the cheese/dairy???? Or could it be cross contamination possibly from a crumb from another student at preschool??? Or can it just be from the weekend episode???

I'm so confused....I don't really want to remove all dairy too.

It could be anything. Do they use Playdoh at school? Most of it has gluten.

Do they keep his food separate from the other kids' and be sure he doesn't eat the other kids' food?

Some of us feel better in the beginning eating simple foods rather than processed foods. I know I did. That may help, too. Plus, there are lots of ups and downs in the beginning. He hasn't been on the diet long at all.

Hope he feels better soon!

yes the playdough was my 1st thought too. I was told they haven't had any playdough out in a while. I think I will request that future playdough be made from rice flour. I know it is really hard to say what happened....they say they watch him closely at meals and are very careful but you never know if a crumb flops over to his stuff....

My daughter Gi said that alot of kids have an allergy to dairy sometimes for a short while after gluten is removed, they should get over it. I think my daughter is fine now,she also used to get distended even after removing gluten. And a test showed she had a slight milk allergy.

I think this may be happening with my son. We removed gluten (only a few day totally gluten-free) and now he's getting diariah, I'm so frustrated, is it a bug, is it dairy, is it from one of the new ingrediants? This is way worse then anything he's ever had before. I really hope it's just a virus (that sounds so ugly, to hope you r kid has a virus) b/c we are big cheese people. I a;so am hoping fr Nikki2003's suggestion that it is a short term thing...

Good luck, please let me know how your son is doing janelyb, it sounds like we're in the same stage of this.

Our pediatric g.i. talked about dairy issues at the beginning and had us crush up Lactaid and include it in his meal every time he had dairy for the first month. He suggested it could take longer than that, but our son was having no problems with dairy after a month of being gluten free.

i had and still have occasional lactose intolerance since going gluten-free. i would cut out dairy in large quantities for a few months, then gradually reintroduce to see if the problems still exist. that worked for me. good luck!

Diary issues often go hand in hand with celiac disease due to the small intestine being damaged by celiac and not being able to produce the right enzyme for breaking down dairy. My son is about five or six months gluten free now and is still completely off dairy as he had bad episodes from dairy products but once the intestine has healed some doctors say that dairy can be re-introduced into the diet as the intestine can handle it then. If he is celiac then your son obviously will have other intestinal issues relating to the damage cause by the celiac. I agree with other posters, remove dairy for a while, as it is very harsh on our stomachs anyway - see how he gets on after a couple of months and maybe reintroduce it to see if it causes any more problems. There are lots of dairy alternatives out there - i know it seems hard at the beginning but if you are already doing gluten you might as well do the dairy too. a lot of gluten free items are dairy free also because they are so commonly linked.

Hope this is of some help.

good luck

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
