Potty Accidents... Related To Celiac?

We have been struggling with my 4 year old having a lot of urine accidents (multiple a day) for as long as I can remember.  Could this be at all related to celiac?  Anyone else experience this?

I have no clue if it is related to celiac disease or not.

I do not think there is one photo of my baby brother that did not have a wet stain on his pants when he was three and four. He could not be bothered to take time out to use the restroom. It did not bother him to be scolded by his older siblings. He was simply a busy little boy. He also did not talk at all until he was three and then it was full sentences -- adult sentences with a large vocabulary.

The wetting stopped when he went to school. Peer pressure or maturity put an end to that, I guess. He was a bed wetter like so many in our family (generations), at least for those that seem to have no worries. Everyone outgrew it.

My baby brother is brilliant. The genius of the family.

We have found gluten exposure to impact continence. This was true for our super silly girl and is one of her accommodations at school...she gets irritable bladder issues that make her go frequently. It was also true for her younger brother when he was very young, as well as being true for myself.

Wow, it never ceases to amaze me what this disease can do to a person. The symptoms are so varied!

That sounds like what we're dealing with... Will it get better as she heals and is gluten free for longer?

None of us deal with continence issues now. The longer we have been gluten free, the better we have gotten at managing and eliminating potential exposures. That being said, it was such an issue for super silly girl as we were getting smarter about living gluten free that she was regularly checked for UTI and watched for diabetes. It is good to communicate continence issues with your doctor, as there can be other causes. But for our family, getting better at gluten free living was the answer.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
