I've started to take notice of what comes out from what I am putting in lately and I'm noticing my "output" has turned tan and when I look closer at the top of the water I am seeing what I first thought was bubbles but then I realized they are tiny dropplets of oil. Is this what it's suppose to look like with a gluten intolerance?

Thanks once again for helping me to connect the dots of mystery!

Oh and one more thing to add and it's something I have wondered about in the past couple of years but a few times a year (this is why it's so weird) I get a very sharp and very severe pain starting in my stomach and over several hours I can feel every inch of my intestines with nothing to show for it later. No diarrhea or gas and then my poor insides feel bruised for days afterwards. Any idea of what happened? This was during a time where I was gluten-free so now I wonder, since I had been off of gluten so long, if I had been glutened accidentally and I was very sensitive at that time? Does this sound right or maybe just a weird mystery? I wish I knew then what I know now, it may be easier to figure out what happened. I recall that one time I had picked up a protein bar (void of dairy and obvious gluten to me at that time as that is what I was avoiding) and a bottle of water, went and worked out and before I got home I started getting stomach pains in which I spent hours on the couch until the middle of the night curled up in the fetal position in horrible pain. I almost had my husband take me to the ER it was so bad and I have given birth naturally 3 times so it was BAD! It stopped when it got to the end of my intestines and nothing came out like I expected (gas, diarrhea). I'm wondering if I was glutened? Thoughts anybody?

Are you doing a gluten challenge? The oily looking stuff could be undigested fat or it could also be mucous. If your consuming something your body doesn't want it will sometimes produce excess mucous to try and protect itself.

It's definitely not mucous. It literally looks like if you put water into a frying pan you used with some oil on it and let it sit, little oil dropplets form on the top.

I wasn't doing a gluten challenge for me, I was trialing wheat for my nursling to figure out what is bugging her. So far it's dairy, soy, eggs and wheat or maybe gluten? Her diarrhea is so bad with wheat it's pure liquid. :(

Well celiac is hereditary, so looks like you're on the right track ;) If you've been eating lots of gluten up to now, you should consider getting tested first before you go gluten free, would be good to know for your baby whether it's definate or not. Of course, even if the testing all comes back negative, you both might do better without gluten; but for a kid it's pretty harsh to be off gluten if you're not 100% sure (when it's older of course :) )?

I was off for 3 months before trialing and won't be going back on until my baby is weaned.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
