My Daughter Has It - Do I?

Hey everyone! My daughter is 2 and has Celiac. She has the HLA-DQ2 gene for it as well. I've never been tested but lately, b/c of her I've been eating a lot less gluten. gluten-free pasta, lasanga, corn tortilla's, cereals, etc.

Recently (Ok, don't laugh) we went to a concert and I had 4-5 "White" beers (the unfiltered wheat kind). My system has been off since that night!! Yes, it's a lot of beer, LOL, I realize that, but I don't mean a hangover. I mean I've had diarrhea EVER since! The first night it was HORRID, then after that it's just been every day and my stomach hurts a little.

Is it possible that I have Celiac as well but I never realized it and now that I've cut out gluten drinking so much of it really effected me? I really should get tested....I'm also 5'9" tall and only 115lbs or so. I just have never gotten tested b/c I don't have symptoms, but now I'm wondering if I do.

PS - I normally DON'T drink that much, LOL - it was a special occasion!

Very possibly. I mean, she had to get it from one parent's side or the other, it is genetic.

My adult son was diagnosed about 11 years ago -- I'd never heard of it, and at the time none of the doctors said anything to us about testing parents or siblings. Eventually, after 10 years of asking my personal physician to test me for it, with all my ongoing gut and touchy bowel problems, weird rashes (which I now know to be dermatitis herpetiformis), migraines, etc, he finally ordered the test. And, yup, I belong to the club as well. Irks me to no end that I've probably had it at least all my adult life, and that it took them 10 years to test even when I was asking!

Didn't mean to go on! My point is definitely get tested. If you have it, the sooner you know the better, in terms of healing.

Please see the following topic in the Dermatitis Herpetiformis forum:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=57093

My husband had NO IDEA that he had a gluten problem until he went gluten free with the rest of the family and then drank beer during the Superbowl weekend! Poor guy! He's still paying for it....

I'm betting you are the one that your daughter inherited the problem from.

Good luck!

its really not that bad --- my brotherinlaw was beer-free for over a year when redbridge was released. he thought it was nectar of the gods...

however, it definitely WON'T help symptoms of consuming one-too-many...

A lot of us found out we were celiacs by going gluten free thanks to the atkins diet and then could not return to the normal American diet. For me it was my 2008 New Years resolution to lose 30lbs. I did really well. Then gave up in July, was sick for six months before going to the dr. Three dr's latter, I'm a celiac, my mom's a celiac, my son is a celiac. Whoooo hooo! Atkins for life plus Fruity Pebbles :P

Welcome aboard, you're one of us!

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, ...

      Airborne Gluten?

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum. Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains...

      Rectal pain

      I was suffering from PF just previous to being dx with celiac disease about 25 yr. ago but have not been troubled with it since. Not sure what the connection between the two is of if there is one. But I do know it is a very painful condition that takes your breath away when it strikes.

      Rectal pain

      I have dealt with proctalgia fugax on and off for a year now. It feels almost paralyzing during an episode and they have started lasting longer and longer, sometimes 20+ minutes. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and wonder if the 2 are related. I did request a prescription for topical nitroglycerin for my PF episodes and that has helped tremendously...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      By Kirita · Posted

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, how long did it take you to feel back to normal? It took about two months before she got “glutened” again but now she’s having difficult coming back from that and has a lot of fatigue. I’m hoping someone has some advice!

      Airborne Gluten?

      By annamarie6655 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum.    Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains.    HOWEVER, I realized something recently- the last time I got glutened and the most recent time I got glutened, I truly never ate anything with gluten in it. But i did breathe it in.    The first time was a feed barrel for my uncle’s chickens- all of the dust came right up, and most of what was in there was wheat/grains. The second time was after opening a pet food bag and accidentally getting a huge whiff of it.    When this happens, I tend to have more neurological symptoms- specifically involuntary muscle spasms/jerks everywhere. It also seems to cause migraines and anxiety as well. Sometimes, with more airborne exposure, I get GI symptoms, but not every time.    My doctor says he’s never heard of it being an airborne problem, but also said he isn’t well versed in celiac specifics. I don’t have the money for a personal dietician, so I’m doing the best I can.    is there anyone else who has experienced this, or gets similar neurological symptoms?
