Sunken Eyes A Symptom?

My little guy has always had a healthy facial appearance but since giving him barley this past week (he's not diagnosed as of yet) I have noticed the skin underneath his eyes have become dark, like he's been hit but instead of swelling it's sunken in. Does that make sense? Is this typical?

It is typical of iron deficiency which is common in Celiac children from what I've heard. May want to get levels checked.

Would that have just shown up though, within the past couple of days? He just had his iron checked 2 months ago.

Poor thing. Allergies do that, as can sleep loss.

I don't know if this helps....

But whenever I get glutened I often look like I haven't slept in months...the area under my eyes gets really dark....

Lasts a few days to a few weeks depending...

This is exactly it! He's never had the black eye effect before I purposefully glutened him the other day.

      Confusion about my son's results

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      I'm confused about these results. We are not seeing the GI doc. He's totally out of our price range. We can just do gluten free like we do for my daughter who was off the charts on all of these. Any thoughts? Maybe we caught it early? He's only 5.  His EMA was negative. That got cut out of the photo.

      I ate a hotdog bun on accident today and I haven’t ate bread in years

      @TempCloud  How are you doing?  I hope you aren't reacting too badly? I would most likely react like Trents.  That said, I have read accounts of some coeliacs not showing any symptoms after glutening, after a long break from eating gluten.  But should that happen to you, unfortunately it should not be interpreted as the 'green light' to go back to gluten.  I am afraid coeliac disease at the present is a lifelong condition, and so, too, must be the gluten free diet.  Here are some tips to try, to help you feel better.
