Gluten Intolerant With Mild Symptoms

[mama2two]

I have read so many horror stories of people who are celiac or gluten intolerant that are very ill d/t gluten. I was wondering if there is anyone who has only mild symptoms to no symptoms? My daughter has never been confirmed with celiac, her bloodwork was inconclusive and did test positive with enterolab, but compaired to others her symptoms really are mild. She was having fatty, stools with mucus and some abdominal pain while having a bm, she also had ulcers and tooth enamel defects of just the two upper front teeth, which they told me was from breastfeeding at night, which is bull. Now she has been gluten free for about 8months and if she does accidently have gluten she is just a little gassy, Oh yea she had large amounts of gas before. Just wondering if anyone else displays these mild symptoms?

We're going throught he dicovery phase here, but my son has NO external symptoms, just bloodwork and duodenal biopsy results. Very frustrating.

I started out having mild symptoms. So mild that I didn't realize they were symptoms. I lived like that for probably eight years until I got REALLY sick. You may be lucky that you got your diagnosis before things got really bad for your daughter. I also found that when I went gluten-free, a lot of my symptoms that I didn't even realize were symptoms went away. I didn't know I was so sick until I was healthy again.
