    Hi there, my now 4 year old was diagnosed at 18 months with Celiac Disease via blood test and vast improvement on a gluten-free diet. He was so sick and malnourished that his doctor advised us not to wait a moment and take him off gluten immediately. Fast forward 3 years and we are now testing our other children as well. My 3 year old has been tiny since...

    My now 3 year old son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease at 18 months after having problems maintaining his weight. I actually asked his pediatrician to run the blood test on him after reading all the symptoms on line. All his levels were normal except his TTG was was point over normal. Anything 4 and over was considered abnormal per the test and his was ...

    We were at a playdate once and he found a piece of pizza from my friend's daughter's lunch, and he took a bite. BAD poop with in 30 mins, diarrhea the very next morning and horrible horrible mood. Symptoms lasted about a week and a half, that time. This time around is very different, more mood issues, less bowel issues it seems. He also seems to be running...

    We were at my sister in law's house Sunday night when my son found a Ritz cracker on the floor and of course shoved it in his mouth. He didn't have diarrhea, which is is usual "glutenized" sign, in fact he didn't have a bm at all yesterday. He was violent, hostile and kinda spacey all day though. Can anyone relate to that after gluten exposure? Today he doesn...

    Thanks so much for the responses everyone! I gave him some space to decide on his own, and he has his biopsy tomorrow. He also told me recently that he has decided to go gluten-free after he gets his formal diagnosis.

    My 2 year old son was diagnosed with Celiac last October, his pediatrician recommended that our immediate family gets tested and that we encourage our extended family as well since it runs in families. We've been tested and all my siblings and my mom (dad is working on it) have been tested and my brother tested positive on one test. I don't know what test...

    Yesterday morning my 2 year old woke up with a horrible rash on his lower back. He was pretty fussy and also woke up 2 or 3 times that night crying for me which is abnormal. The only thing I can think of is I gave him and his sister a shower the night before and used my conditioner on my daughter. He was on the other side of the shower but while rinsing it...

    That's great!

    I just changed my son's diaper, it smells awful and almost knocked me over when I opened his bedroom door this morning. The think that is so strange is that it's covered in mucus and I mean copious amounts. I've never seen anything like it. He was diagnosed with Celiac 6 months ago and has been gluten-free ever since. Any idea what could have caused it? Or...

    Thank you kareng!! Hose-offable furniture....hmmm....

    Wow, I really didn't mean for that to sound defensive. I had a REALLY rough morning with the kids today!

    I'm careful but I'm certainly realistic about keeping my son safe from gluten. I'm not freaking at all. We don't eat out, have a grandma's house near by to go to, nor do we keep playdough in the house. I'm not trying to come up with something to worry about. My husband and I actually watched him magically pull a binkie out of the couch (I thought they were...

    I think i need to do something, I just felt the fabric that covers the springs and it's covered in a microscopic crumb dust even though I've vacuumed it several times since then. I do think about selling my kids but for different reasons! I'll look into the slip cover thing and or cleaning it (just did 2 months ago), or our couches are still in...

    He was also in a completely different room while we did it, and we made sure to clean up very carefully, cleaned the floor and vacuumed the couch the best we could.
  15. Jamie1450
    I didn't elaborate enough. Since he was diagnosed 5 months ago we haven't let anything thing with gluten enter our house, unless by a rookie mistake. We all eat gluten-free at home, all the kids eat the same gluten-free snacks. The cheerios and goldfish crackers could have been 3 years old. They were really deep in there! We cleaned out every single thing...

    My 2 year old son (dx Oct 2012) keeps getting 'glutened' and I haven't been able to pinpoint how but a thought popped in my head this morning. A couple of weeks ago my husband and I cleaned the deep crevasses of our couch and found TONS of old (like maybe up to 3 years old) cheerios, goldfish crackers and crumbs. Since his dx our whole family eats gluten...

    My son is almost 2 (been gluten-free for 4 mths) and at a playdate a week ago today he found a rouge piece of pizza from my friend's kids' lunch and took a bite. Alas the next morning he work up totally out of it, rolling around on the floor, super super fussy and had NASTY chemically ,not sure how that came out of a human, smelling poop. He didn't poop the...

    My 2 year old (1 1/2 at the time) had tTG level 5 and anything over 4 was positive. His doctor diagnosed him with Celiac after seeing his large amounts of weight gain & reaction to gluten since going on a gluten free diet.
  19. Jamie1450
    My son will usually have a really bad poop with in a couple of hours or up to 12-18 hours later. Just depends. He took 1 little bite of pizza at a playdate the other day at 4pm; the next morning he work up fussy, out of it, and had his nasty chemical smelling poop, it's taken about 4+ days to get over. He spit up all the time as a baby, and so does my 8 month...

    So what I'm gathering is if his pediatrician will give him a diagnosis, stand by it and offer documentation if needed, then we are good? I agree that a gluten challenge would be hell on earth for my son. We would probably make it a day or so. 8-10 acidic poops per day, a red almost bleeding butt, hours of screaming and whatever damage it's doing to his gut...

    Thank you mommida - His pediatrician has used the verbage "He has Celiac Disease" and that she is thrilled that I diagnossed him myself. I might ask her about the genetic testing, though and then revisist it later on when he can tell us how he feels. I will start a food journal tomorrow, that's a great idea. Couple more questions: Do you think it's...

    My almost 2 year old son had been showing signs of Celiac for almost a year. From 9 months (when he started solids) to a year old he didn't grow at all and did not gain an ounce. He was a chubby breastfed baby until then. All of a sudden he started having diarrhea all the time but would also have stages when he was fine. He grew a little in the span of a...
