Stuttering And Gluten

My 2 3/4 year old son, who is not diagnosed celiac, has been gluten free for 6-7 months since we made our home gluten free. Even when we go out I keep all the kids gluten free. Well, over the holidays my husband decided that we should not restrict the non-celiac kids and my son ate a whole bunch of gluten while at relatives. He suddenly started stuttering really badly and I'm wondering if it's not related to the gluten. My question to any of you who may have experienced stuttering when glutened is how long before it goes away? Days, weeks, months??? It's been about six days since the stuttering started, 5 days since he's had gluten, I've seen maybe very mild improvement only. Thanks.

I would not be surprised especially since this appeared so suddenly and at the same time as a good gluten dose. I had a great deal of trouble with speaking for a long time. A lot of uh-uh-uh while my brain was trying to get my mouth to connect with it and find the right word. I still have trouble at times but am much better.

My son is now 6 and when he becomes gluttened he also begins to studder. It can get really bad and sometimes he stops talking completely. It usually last about 2-3 mo for my son. We just tell him to slow down think about what he want to say and then say it because it is a processing thing. They call it brain fog and it takes him a while to get his thought collected. We used to have people who whould say just say it or don't raise your hand. I had to explain to them what he was doing and he has gotten along fine since. That was in preschool and the teacher said well I don't think he has anything to say because he doesn't always say something once I explained the teacher said wow he is very bright. Today he is in the first grade and he is reading at a 3rd grade level and doing 3 grade math. Good luck if it happens just tell him to slow down and collect his thought before he talks. I know you said he is almost 3 and this is a perfect time to start teaching him this. Good luck

I always just figured the whole getting caught on words and stuttering thing was related to the rest of my problems. never thought it could be the gluten...its interesting to think that in a few months it might not happen anymore!

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hey! I’m recently gluten free and yes I really struggle with alcohol now. I haven’t really drank in 2 months as it just made me feel awful the next day in terms of stomach ache mainly. I’ve had a couple of glasses of white wine here and there (mainly low sulphate) but every time it gives me a gut ache. I think it’s because but guy is so damaged from my journey to discovering my gluten intolerance and hopefully this will improve but honestly I’m just not bothered about having a drink now. I can’t even touch Prosecco or champagne I think the bubbles really upset me!

      I just wanted to share my support for you. Rant away. We all know that, and have experiences like that at some point. I am sorry for that very unpleasant, and emotionally isolating reminder of your medical condition. Which always is exacerbated by the hunger. I will admit many of my family friends, and coworkers found it easier to exclude me than to accommodate me. I also have to be very strict with cross contamination so in hindsight they did me a favor.  The sting however can often still be unearthed when I read experiences like yours.  I am sorry you had that occur. I hope you, and the coworkers can find the easy more accommodating experiences again after this unfortunate incident. Best wishes.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      "...hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea" . Heard of indeed. Experienced too. In hindsight, I can remember from age 2 having, and trying to convey my issues. I went 38 years misdiagnosed. So yes one can have these issues. I did have to go back on gluten for a gluten challenge. I failed that challenge and 6 days in they give me permission to stop, and I proceed with my scopes as scheduled. Post those 6 days I had gained 13 intolerances. I had to remove many foods, and reintroduce them back in. Nine years later I have two that remain gluten, and corn. I found it helpful to follow a whole foods diet. I also found autoimmune (AIP) protocol diet/recipes, and Paleo diet/recipes helpful. I still enjoy many of those homemade version recipes. I still continue to make my own salad dressings even if I can find a gluten-free store bought version. Fresh taste best to this palate now.  I did give up many grains I was off many and reverted to coconut flour and almond flour as work arounds .  I still remember the first time my gut experienced the reintroduction of quinoa. It wasn't sure if it wanted to flare or not. In 30 minutes it reported back ok this will pass. Many foods were removed post gluten challenge for me for 2 years and 4 months. At the 2 year 4 month mark is when my body said ok let's eat again, but don't ever feed me gluten again! I wish you the best.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.
