Symptoms Of Gluten Pr Lactose Intolerance?

I was diagnose 2yrs. ago with gluten intolerance through entero labs. My 10 year old son seems fine, but it seems that at least once a month(lately) he has diareaha or vomiting which usually lasts only a few hours to half a day. He eats gluten lite at my house, but gets a lot at his dads. I also have noticed that the last 2 incidents have occured after eating pizza and ice cream (happened 2x in a week). The pizza at my house was gluten free. I am wondering if this could be lactose intolerance. Can this cause vomiting? I thought lactose only caused constipation or diareaha. Can gluten intolerance symptoms come and go? It seems that some of these incidents happen after dairy, and some after gluten. Once it happened after my mom bought him a big cinamon roll. Sometimes it happens within an hour and other time a half day later. What do you think. I am also mildly lactose intolerant and so is my mom. Most of the time though he eats and is fine. Weird.

My daughter had intermittent symptoms of pain from gluten for months, maybe years, until she started having it all the time. It took six weeks for the pain to go away completely after stopping gluten. The intermittent nature of your son's digestive problems could be the start of it if my daughter's experience is typical.

she was also lactose intolerant by the time she was diagnosed with gluten intolerance. She now is able to eat a bit of dairy for the first time in months without appreciable problems.

Symptoms can definitely be intermittent and change in response time for both gluten and lactose. Sometimes lactose gives me severe stomach pain, sometimes nothing. I have never vomited from it, but I wouldn't be surprised if some people do.

I'd suggest getting him tested for gluten and lactose or doing an elimination diet. Testing might be the way to go if you will have to convince his father it's necessary.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
