So my 14mo old sons tests all came back negative for whatever they tested for (8 biopsies)in addition to crohns and celiacs. So there is no explanation for the ulcerations and swelling at this moment in a medical sense. GI doc said it could of been something simple like a bacterial infection as the ulcerations were all new. She also said it could be the very beginnings of celiacs and that she is more than happy to check again in a few months. i am breathing a cautious sigh of relief! my 30mo old tested negative as well. i am going to continue to give a gluten reduced diet as opposed to gluten free since i have seen no symptoms from either child. i appreciate this site very much.

Just a question... were your children on a reduced gluten diet right up until they were tested?

How are they going to treat the ulcerations? With the doctor stating it could be the early start of celiac, I'd be inclined to try the diet. Why does she want to wait until there is more damage. What kind of symptoms were your children having? There are some people that don't have ouward symptoms that indeed have celiac. love2travel comes to mind.

nope,, wasnt even a thought in my mind, we have been treating him for reflux which is why the endoscopy was being done to check his esophagus and such. the ulcerations were a surprise.

My 2yr old daughter was tested last year because of her constant diarhea but her diagnosis ended up just being 'toddlers diarhea' which she has out grown for the most part unless she has to much milk.

my son had reflux since birth along with a milk allergy. seems to have a soy allergy as well. and because he hadnt outgrown the reflux as most babies tend to, the gi doc suggested the endoscopy and 24hr ph test. there is no signs of reflux now so i guess he must of finally outgrew it. gi doc said its a slight possibility its the start of celiacs but since my other child is neg as well as me i am not to worried about that but the ulcerations are definatly a mystery. i asked about testing my son again just in case and she said she would be happy to but if he is gluten free then it wont show on a test.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.
