Stool Question

[KayJay]

My dd just turned 3 and doesn't really have any symptoms of Celiac. I'm the one in the family with it. Recently her stools have looked like they have big clumps of steak fat in them. I know that is TMI sorry about that. But I was wondering if any of your kids have had that and it turned out to be a sign of celiac. She is growing right on track and all that.

Thanks

I am a big newbie here, I have never seen that, but it is my understanding that celiac often leads to fatty stools. I have never heard it described like that though. I am sure others will have more info.

Along the same lines as the fatty stool, I have been finding blood in my stools, and was wondering if anyone else is having this problem? And/or if anyone knows what is causing it, or what is wrong with my body! Thanks!

I was reading about aspartame and it said aspartame can cause blood to be in the stools...and a huge list of other symptoms

Since you have it, I would talk to her peditrician about whether she should be tested if she has not been yet. My dd did not show most of her obvious signs until she was closer to 5 yrs old, although she did have strange things going on with her and since we are unaware of any celiac's in the family, we were not looking for the signs. I too have heard of the fatty stool issue with celiac. My dd has what I considered to be fatty but it's not like you describe.

Before my son was diagnosed this year , His BM did have those same signs.. It was almost always constant.. And smelly.. I would tell your child's Ped. The disease is genetic. And its always better to find out now then later.. Good luck.
