my 8 month old has been a bit fussy the past few days, but i just thought teething.

yesterday we were at a friends house he had never been to, and after being there about an hour i noticed 3 spots on him. within 20 minutes he was covered in them, his eyes were red and puffy, and he was wheezing some.

i rushed him to his ped's office.

the p.a. saw him, strep test came back negative. she said it was hand, foot, and mouth disease.

we came home and an hour later he was asleep and there were no spots on his back at all.

he has had a few spots off and on since then, and now, 24 hours since we were at doc office, he is broke out again.

my first thought was an allergic reaction, maybe to pine sol, and the fact that it went away last night really made me think thats what it was.

but now that it has came back, and there is no pine sol in my house, i am just as lost as ever.

does it look like hand, foot and mouth to you?

could it be a possible reaction to gluten?

thanks!

my son had that as well and continues to have it off and on. He would get it everywhere and would get terribly grouchy and screaming and crying and not wanting to be touched to where i had to not sleep at night and nothing consoled him. It took two months before he was able to see a dermatologits who guessed it to be a reaction to his vaccinations. I dont believe that was it since it did come back. He had it so bad though that it was in his scalp and he was starting to lose some baby hair (not that he had a huge amount to begin with but it was all over there was no place that he didnt have it including in the diaper area. The only thing that helped was he was eventually put on atarax (an allergy medicine and then changed to pediox-s which he is currently on now. When he does break out the dr. prescribed desonide .05% ointment which is a steriod cream to put on the affected area 2x a day and it does help. most of the time he is symptom free. He had it before he was diagnosed with celiac disease. Even after we started the diet he still might break out a little but i attribute his recovery to the liquid pediox-s and the desonide ointment. i hope it helps you! by the way he was 8mo old when he first got a full blown attack before that i thought it was a reaction to his diapers since he had it only in the diaper area. He got a full blown attack the night after he got his vaccinations. He is now 19mo old.

this is the first time he has ever done this

it is only on his trunk, with a little on his neck and maybe 1-2 on his head.

none on his hands, feet, arms or legs.

it goes away and comes back, has done this several times today.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
