Strange Symptom

Hi there. I haven't been on for a very long time, but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. My 14 year old son was diagnosed a year and a half ago. My other two kids are going through the testing, and will both be scoped in March. Here's the scoop: my son has complained of a sore, itchy bum (anus) since I can remember; probably starting when he was about 3 or 4. I had, of course, mentioned it to doctors on many occasions as it would make him very wiggly at times. None of the doctors noticed anything out of the ordinary. Anyhow, after being gluten free, the problem went away, and if he is glutened (he is very nearly asymptomatic), that is the one thing he notices right away. Is that bizarre? Now, my three year old (she was off gluten for a year, then back on it for the scope in March), within a month or two of being back on gluten, is complaining of a sore bum too. Everything looks normal, not red or irritated, but she cries sometimes and says her bum is "hot" or cries that "it hurts" when I wipe her after a bm. Any time I have searched (with a variety of key words and celiac) on the net, I get absolutely nothing back that relates. Soooo, does anyone know if this is a common, or perhaps not so common symptom???

Could it be related to constipation or larger, hard stool (which is a symptom of celiac)? It could be that the stool is irritating them. As for a itchy bum, I haven't heard of that symptom, but I would not be at all surprised if it goes away when gluten-free. It seems like nearly everything can be a celiac symptom.

Could it be hemorroids from constapation?

I have wondered that too. I know hemroids can itch, but I don't have them. The itching did go away when I went gluten free. If I have been glutened by accident sometimes it feels like everything coming out of me itches. I wonder if it could be DH up there maybe?

My daughter gets D when she is glutened, and nearly always gets a hemerhoid (SP). She then stands there wiggling all day till the gluten is out of her body. A bath does help soothe her, but not enough. So, what i am saying is that Hemerhoids don't only come from constipation, but also from D

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By RMJ · Posted

      I don’t know how common it is, but it happens.  Total IgA going up is not necessarily celiac related.  The body can make IgA antibodies against all sort of things.   But if I understand correctly that until recently you haven’t had a celiac blood test since diagnosis, how do you know that your recent blood tests are a mild rise, vs never going down to the normal range? That also can happen, although not too common. Some people with celiac disease do react even to purity protocol certified gluten free oats. Removing oats from your diet for a few months and retesting is probably a good idea.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      interesting I did not know that was that common or could take that long.  When I was diagnosed 15 yrs ago I was told just follow gluten-free diet and follow up with primary care doctor (who never checked celiac panel again). I felt way better and all the major symptoms went away. It wasn't until recently at 25 (14 yrs after diagnosis) that I thought to follow up with a gastro doctor who then did a celiac panel and noted those minor elevations 3 months ago then I got them checked again by another doctor the other week and were showing roughly the same thing.  I am very strict with what I eat and dieitican was maybe thinking it could be oat flour. I do eat a fair amount of processed food but I...

      Do you have any other results from either of the two labs where you’ve been tested recently?  If so, are the newest results from that lab elevated over previous results? It took me 5 years to get all of my antibodies into the normal range. Then 3 years later one went up into the positive range.  I realized that I had started baking with a different brand of gluten free flour.  When I stopped using that flour the level went back to normal.  Has something changed in your diet, environment, activities, medications or other areas where you could possibly be exposed to gluten?

      Thank you for the clarifcation, how can I get to the bottom of this as to why they may be elevated even on a super strict gluten-free diet?
