When she eats something that bothers her, my daughter will often have stuff in her poo that seems like sand or pepper. We think it is part of the allergic response, but we're not sure. Her doctor doesn't seem to know anything about gluten sensitivity so we're on our own here. Is this common? Her diet right now is very simple (no seasonings etc.) so we don't think it's cinnamon or something.

Hi, I'm not sure what the answer is but I've seen it too. :) The day after my older son's first birthday his diaper was pure "sand." We couldn't figure out whether it was the sugar, the milk, something else. That was the first time he'd had milk, cake, sugar. Within the next week we introduced milk and took him off and put him on soy because he was just throwing it up. So, I'm not sure but I've always thought it was something that didn't agree with him. I'll be interested to hear if you find anything out. In the past couple of months we've taken him off milk and gluten and he is a different kid, in a good way. :)

How old is your daughter? Does she have any sensitivities or allergies that you know about?

My daughter is 16 months old. As soon as we started giving her milk she had a lot of problems, so now we give her soy milk. It took us much longer to catch on to the gluten thing. She had reflux when she was very little and continued to spit up well past her first birthday. We finally figured it was the gluten. We're pretty certain the weird poo was due to gluten or milk in her diet but wanted to check this out with other people. Thanks for the response!

Hi, my daughter had a similar issue. Her stool looked like had pepper/food in it. At first I thought it was something she ate. My daughter's specialist said that it was due to celiac disease and that the color would be light, most of the time be loose and would also float. He asks about her stool everytime we see him. Since we have started her on a gluten free diet (almost a year now) her stool is more solid. If I were you I would look for a pediatric gastroenterologist.

Add me to the list! My son's diapers were like that before he was diagnosed with celiac disease and placed on a gluten free diet. They looked like light tan sand with occasional mucous. I think that was a result of malabsorption. I would get your child tested for celiac. If the test is negative, then I would try the gluten free diet to see if the diaper situation improves! :)

My son has a sandy poop anything he gets into gluten. Whenever we change a sandy diaper we call it a gluten diaper and try to figure out what it was he ate.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
