I Think My Daughter Got Gluten Somewhere...

She's been doing so great, but yesterday she started complaining about a stomach ache, diarrhea and had some pretty bad anxiety, she also had a hard time sleeping last night and generally controlling her emotions. It's hard to tells what is going on, if she's having a bad day and a bit of a bug, or is it gluten. We've been pretty good about watching what she eats. The only thing different in the past few days is Progresso Traditional Clam Chowder, a cotton candy snow cone...but I didn't think that there was any gluten in them.

She said if it was gluten then she wants to stay gluten free. That's a good thing since we wasn't convinced that she wanted to go gluten free and was complaining about it.

She thinks it was the Progresso soup, but the package looked free and clear.

I can't have any of those soups because I am sensitive to MSG, other than that maybe a problem with the sugar in the snow cone.

I hope you can figure it out and she gets to feeling better.

About the time of my daughter's diagnosis, she became intolerant to blue food dye. Even after she was gluten free for a while, she was still pretty sensitive to it. She seems to tolerate it now, but I still don't let her have too much in any one sitting. Her reaction to it was very similar to gluten.

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
