Worried That Son Is Celiac

I have celiac and have 2 wonderful kids. I always worry about them carrying on my disease. However, I really think my 20 month old has celiac. He was born with milk protein allergy and soy allergy was on neocate formula, which is EXPENSIVE!! He loves to eat but never sleeps through the night has the smelliest of poops which range from constipation to diarrhea like bm's. He is creative and silly but behind with speech. He was tested by blood test which of course was negative. He sees GI next week but unsure if I really wanna go, especially if they are not going to do anything. I wonder if I should just put him on my diet. Any tips/advice?

Thanks

At 20 months the blood test is far more likely to give a false negative... the only downside of starting him on a gluten-free diet is that ensures that all tests will be negative so if you want confirmation later you have to decide if he will eat gluten or not.

As a middle of the road you could get genetic testing to see if he is predisposed.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
