Sweet Breath?

Recommended Posts

Fast forward 5 years and I get diagnosed with celiac. I remove the straw from my chicken coop because it most likely has wheat in it. It was in a pile composting for a few months and I smelled the smell!!!!!!!!! It was the exact smell of my sons mouth! It is a little more faint and he now can have stinky breath too, like in the morning (he's 5 now). But still smells sweet most of the time. He was also colic for a whole year and on special formula.

Do you think it might be a sign of wheat issues or celiac? I am on the verge of getting a new doc for him because I told his Doctor I have it and maybe Michael should be tested. In one ear out the other. He has no problems with digestion so he can't have it. (eye roll please).

Anyone else smell a very sweet smell (besides the lovely baby smell)?

Sweet smelling breath can be a sign of diabetes (which is a common complication of Celiac). Get him tested asap (by a new doc, fire the current one). :angry:

Keep us posted!

Yes, I read that and asked about that too. I think it is beyond weird that the same smell is coming from wheat fermenting, in a way. I am searching for a new doc now. I wish they would come with little icons next to their name.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
