Intresting since I have a gluten intolerence for sure [celiac? never been tested! once I went off gluten and it made me feel so much better was too scared to go back on it to get tested.]has anyone else had kids with grainy stools and it's been diagnosed as celiac disease?

I have a30 month old who I have been having trouble with since he was 4 months old. He dropped from the 50th to the 3rd percentile in a month when he started solids. He too has grainy stools but all testing done, (bloods and scope) have said he is not coeliac. I wa sjust going to go gluten free but in one month he put on over two kilos and grew over 4 centrementers so his paed said "don't change what you are doing. I have been giving him rye bread instead of wheat and cornflakes instead of wheatbix (I know they both have gluten but I have tried very low wheat) Yesterday morning he had wheatbix and today he has fluffy, grainy stools. So I thought I would let you know, I may not be much help, but you have inspired me. I need to go gluten free. Its the only way I will ever know.

it,s worth giving it a go I was really feeling ill couldn't get any advice or help from dr went to a naturopath she suggested a dairy and gluten free diet it made a huge difference.. even my thought process became clearer and i said sorry to my family for my mood swings and being a totally nuts. it really helped.

That's the tell-tale sign our son's been glutened. He's almost 3-I couldn't figure out why there was so much 'sand' in his diaper a few months ago. I even asked his pre-school teacher if he had been eating sand on the playground :rolleyes: We then went over his diet for the day and figured out he had gotten some gluten. Now I can tell EVERY time. My daughter was way out of diapers when she was diagnosed, so I had no idea that's what happened...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:
